Because my classes at Chapman end by early afternoon most weekdays, I have plenty of time in the day for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. My part-time job is flexible and typically no longer than 4 hours when scheduled, so I can easily plan pet care around them.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m in my home or yours, I treat every pet like family. I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their normal routines. I follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, always keep a close eye during walks/playtime, and make sure doors gates and leashes are secure. You can also expect daily photo updates so you feel connected while you’re away.

Information Julia D. would like to know about your pet

It helps me a lot to know about your pets daily routine, energy level, and any special needs (medications, feeding instructions, or quirks). Please let me know how they do on walks (pulling, leash reactivity, etc.), how they get along with other animals, and any behaviors I should be mindful of. The more I know, the better I can make them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with me depends on your pet’s needs and personality. That could mean a walk around the neighborhood, playtime, cuddle breaks, or just keeping them company if they’re more relaxed. No matter what they’ll get lots of attention, affection, and care.

Pet care experience

🐾 Extended day + evening care (no overnights) • Drop-ins • Walks Along with offering walking services and drop-ins, I specialize in extended in-home care — providing meals, walks, playtime, and companionship from morning through bedtime. This is a great option for families who want their pets cared for during the day and evening, without needing overnight stays. Hi, I’m Julia! I share my home with my sweet 12-year-old Yorkie, Coco, and our playful new kitten, Frankie, so I understand pets at every stage of life. I have many years of experience providing pet sitting and dog walking for family, friends, neighbors, and I have also worked with several wonderful clients through Rover. Outside of pet care, I work as a respite caregiver, supporting families with children who have special needs. While not pet-related, it has strengthened my reliability, patience, and ability to adapt to different routines — qualities I bring to every pet I look after. As a student at Chapman, my classes wrap up by early afternoon most weekdays, giving me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I work part-time only a couple days a week, with adjustable hours, so I can schedule pet care around my other commitments. You can count on me for dependable attention, photo updates, and plenty of love while you’re away!

Julia helped us on a last minute request to walk and feed our dog. She was so sweet with him and my dog immediately took to her kind nature. She was very communicative and took great pics. My dog was belly up loving all the attention. I would definitely recommend Julia and will be requesting her help again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
