Pet care experience

Professional Cuddler

I am a lifelong animal lover and a cat owner who genuinely enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I specialize in cat care and am just as happy hanging out with a playful lap cat as I am earning the trust of a shy, independent kitty. I live in the Wooten/Crestview area and have a flexible work schedule, including working from home on Mondays and Fridays, so I’m dependable and available for check-ins and routine care. I’m comfortable giving medications, cleaning litter boxes, and following detailed instructions.

Pets

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.

Julia got along well with my shy cat, and she walked up the stairs while the elevator was broken. I appreciate the effort!

Julia was awesome and my boys were in great hands! She got my timid cat to feel safe which is so important to me. So thankful to have had her during our trip.

We were nervous about leaving our cats for a long trip not in the care of family for the first time and were hoping they would get along OK. Julia was very responsive from the beginning and we appreciated the meet and greet with her. Once we left, we ran into a wrinkle immediately when our indoor/outdoor cat very much wanted to be outdoors and made it so. We communicated some action plan options depending on if our cat was willing to come back to a basic stranger. It all ended well thanks to good communication and Julia's support with a second daily visit to best provide for our cat.

Schedule

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.

Cats
Julia can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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.
