Pet care experience

Experienced and Passionate Pet Care

I grew up with two high energy lab mutts and helped to care for them for nearly 16 years! Visiting them at home on each break from USNA was the greatest. They both passed away within the past 2 years, but my love for animals will never cease. I am experienced, passionate, and have lots of time to dedicate to caring for your best friend! I have three months in Annapolis before I head out to VA to begin my career as a Naval Officer. Since I am not able to get my own dog, I would love to spend my last three months here taking care of yours!

We were lucky enough to have Julia care for Remmie on two occasions - one full day and one overnight. On both stays Julia provided clear instructions for pickup and drop off as well as regular updates. She even took Remmie to the local park, which meant she came home tired but happy! We would call on Julia again and highly recommend her as a sitter.

Not only is Julia a true animal lover, but as a graduate of the Naval Academy and current officer, she has incredibly high integrity and honor and is beyond trustworthy. I never think twice about having Julia stay in our home to care for our dogs or our home when we're out of town. I highly recommend her and just hope that she won't become so busy that she's not available when we need her.😉

Julia is a truly responsible and caring individual who has a natural connection with animals. Having grown up with two dogs that she cared for deeply, she understands the daily needs, routines, and love that dogs require. Her calm and kind personality makes dogs feel instantly comfortable around her—it's like they naturally gravitate toward her. Julia genuinely loves all animals, and it shows in the way she interacts with them. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their dog sitter or walker. Your pets will be in great hands with her!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet friendly apartment building. My apartment has dog friendly furniture and plenty of room to play. My building offers a great dog walking route. I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds throughout my life. I have cared for dogs in my building already, so I am familiar with caring for dogs in this particular apartment setting.

A typical day

I am expert on summer treats that are safe for dogs to enjoy! Growing up with high energy dogs, I love to play games and create fun ways to encourage mental stimulation. I also never get tired of giving pets and cuddles.
