Pet care experience
🐾 Passionate about Pups 🏡 Safe, Loving Home Environment 💡 Extensive Training Background From fostering adorable pups at the Animal Rescue League of Boston to volunteering with Guiding Eyes for the Blind, I've honed my skills in dog care and training. I provided comprehensive support for Monica, a 6-month-old rescue dog, during her 10-day stay, witnessing remarkable progress in her obedience and confidence. With my cozy 2.5-bedroom condo, including a back deck and front yard that's steps away from multiple JP parks, your dog will have a comfortable and stimulating home base. Whether it's training, playtime, or outdoor adventures, your furry friend will thrive under my dedicated care. Let's create paw-sitive memories together! :)
Reviews
Julia had become one of our go-to walkers! Our high energy pup gets lots of love from her and she’s always so communicative and accommodating.
Julia was prompt, professional and very careful with our 4 lb puppy. She sent us updates and was respectful of our home. Our puppy often barks at people but loves Julia and can’t wait to see her again!
Julia did a wonderful job watching my 17 year old dog Cody. She was very communicative and kept me updated on how he was doing throughout the stay. I felt very comfortable with him in her care and could tell he was comfortable too. Would definitely recommend!
Excellent! Great with our pup. Great walks!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I provide a nurturing environment where pets feel at ease and loved. For visiting dogs, I allocate a cozy space with their crate, food bowls, and bedding in a central area like the kitchen or living room. Crate training is encouraged, though I'm adaptable to their comfort levels. I ensure regular potty breaks in my fenced front yard and engage them in stimulating playtime and walks around nearby parks. In the client's home, I replicate the same love and care that I provide for my own dog. I respect the pet's routines and preferences, ensuring consistent feeding times, administering medication if needed, and maintaining a clean and tidy living space. Exercise is a priority, so I take them on invigorating walks and adhere to any training protocols provided by the owner. For dog walking, I tailor each walk to the dog's energy level and personality. Whether it's a leisurely stroll or an active adventure, I engage them physically and mentally. In both my home and the client's home, I ensure pets receive attention, companionship, and structured activities to keep them happy, healthy, and emotionally fulfilled.

Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine, seamlessly woven into the fabric of my life. When I care for my family dog, Ginger, or a foster pup, I start the day with a refreshing walk around the neighborhood to kickstart their day with energy and excitement. I work remotely, so I have ample time throughout the day to engage in various enriching activities, including training sessions, playtime, and socialization, tailored to the pup's needs and preferences. Having volunteered with animal rescue organizations including the ARL in Boston and Korean K9 Rescue in Brooklyn, I've learned to adapt my schedule to accommodate the diverse needs of furry companions. From administering medication to fostering and training dogs, I've developed a flexible routine that prioritizes their well-being. Whether it's a brisk stroll in the park, a visit to a local dog-friendly spot, or simply enjoying downtime together, I ensure that each moment is meaningful and nurturing for the pets I care for. This commitment extends to any dog under my watch, as I create a balance of exercise, mental stimulation, and rest. Consistency in feeding, regular potty breaks, and maintaining a comfortable environment are also integral parts of my pet care routine. With my experience and genuine affection for animals, I'm ready to embrace your furry friend and seamlessly integrate them into the rhythm of my daily life.
