I work a flexible schedule and work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me plenty of time for check-ins, play, feeding, and keeping pets on their usual routines. Even on busier days, I make sure to prioritize pets’ needs, so they feel safe, loved, and cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care that’s tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. In your home, I stick to your routines for feeding, playtime, and rest, making sure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I’m comfortable administering medications, cleaning litter boxes, and giving lots of attention and affection. I also help keep your home cared for while you’re away, like watering plants or tidying up, so your pet has a safe, calm environment.

Information Julia D. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, personality, and any quirks or fears. I also like to know about medications, health concerns, litter box or potty preferences, and what your pet enjoys most, like playtime, treats, or quiet companionship. The more details you share, the better I can keep your pet comfortable and happy.

A typical day

A typical visit focuses on keeping pets comfortable and happy. For cats, that includes feeding, fresh litter, playtime, window watching, and affection on their terms. For dogs, it means feeding, potty breaks, and relaxed hangouts. I always stick to routines and send photo updates so you can check in while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover and cat owner who truly enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I specialize in cat care, including shy, independent, or senior cats, and I’m comfortable giving medications and maintaining routines. I’m also a dog lover and happy to help calm, easygoing pups. I work a flexible schedule which means I can provide consistent attention and care. Bonus: I take extra care of your home too, like watering plants or checking the mail.

Julia was available to check on my cats with very short notice and did a great job! She takes great pictures! I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!

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.
