Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable care, endless tail wags
I have had a deep love of dogs for as long as I can remember. Yes, I was that child who read dog encyclopaedias for fun, and who loved spending time with friends' dogs just as much as I enjoyed hanging out with the friends XD To this day, there are few things that bring me more joy than spending time with my favourite kind of furry four-legged friend! While I (sadly) have not yet been able to have a dog of my own, I've been very fortunate to look after others' dogs on countless occasions over the years, including multi-day boarding in my own home and house sitting at others'. I have cared for both adult and senior dogs, as well as dogs with special needs. I always do my utmost to meet the needs of each dog, whatever they may be, and to respect any training and routines to help ensure the most consistent experience possible. I am patient, loving, and enthusiastic with every dog I meet, and I can't wait to meet yours! Note: I am allergic to cats and have very little experience caring for them. For this reason, I don't typically accept overnight housesitting requests for homes where cats live.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
You can expect me to be a discreet and respectful guest in your home, and to follow all household rules and routines while in your space. From feeding and walks to playtime and companionship, I provide thoughtful and consistent care so your dog feels safe and loved while you’re away. I also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you’ll always know how your furry friend is doing!
Ratings and reviews
Julia looked after our 2 dogs for 6 nights. Everything was in order on our return and the dogs were fine. Julia responded quickly when I texted to check on how they were doing. I would certainly recommend this personable young woman.
Julia was a lifesaver - she was able to help out with a whole bunch of dog walks on short notice after my partner injured herself. As always, super punctual, greta communication, and very attentive to Kobi. Very grateful for her help :)
Julia was so great with Mila and her reactivity on leash. She asked thoughtful questions to fully understand Mila’s needs. She took care of my home and pup as if they were her own. Amazing sitter that I’d happily book again.
Great communication, friendly, and overall great with a pup that can sometimes be standoffish with strangers. We definitely hope to have Julia back for more walks and pet sitting!
Julia was great, and helped me out with a short notice booking when my regular walker wasn’t available. She was very patient and understanding of my shy rescue pup who sometimes needs a few minutes to get comfortable around someone new. Julia was super easy to communicate with and sent me updates and photos so I felt very at ease :) I’ll definitely book with her in the future! Thanks again :)
Julia dog sat in our home for the day, and we were extremely happy with her service. Ginger can be very picky and cautious with new people, but the moment Julia walked through the door, Ginger went straight to her with her tail wagging — which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the day, Julia kept us updated with messages and photos, letting us know how things were going, whether Ginger had eaten all her food, and how she was doing overall. It was very reassuring to know Ginger was being so well cared for and getting lots of attention. Julia was kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly very comfortable with dogs. Ginger seemed completely relaxed and happy with her, which says a lot. We would absolutely hire Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Schedule
I work fully remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I can easily work from different locations, in-home sitting fits naturally into my routine—I’m able to be present with your doggo, follow their schedule, and provide companionship without interruptions.
