Pet care experience

Your Pets’ Second Favorite Humans!

Hi there! My name is Julia, and I’ve spent my entire life around animals—especially dogs and cats—and I truly believe they bring out the best in us. Over the years, I’ve personally cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’ve also raised three cats, each with their own unique personality. From playtime and training to giving medications or just quiet companionship, I bring patience, love, and confidence to every pet I care for. I currently work from home, which gives me the flexibility to tailor my schedule around your pet’s needs—whether that's for a midday walk, multiple drop-in visits, or staying overnight for house sitting. Your pet will always get focused, attentive care and a calm, reassuring presence when I’m with them. Meet Eric: My Partner in Care My partner, Eric, also has years of experience with animals. He grew up helping run his family’s doggy daycare and knows how to handle dogs of all breeds and energy levels. He’s especially gifted at creating a fun, engaging environment that helps pets feel safe and seen. Together, we’re a team you can count on—whether you need someone to care for your pets while you’re away or give your dog a reliable walking routine during busy weeks. What to Expect When You Book Us: House Sitting: We treat your home with respect and keep your pet’s routine consistent, comfortable, and stress-free. From morning walks to evening cuddles, we provide around-the-clock care and attention in the space your pet knows best. Dog Walking: Whether your pup needs a quick potty break or an energetic outing, we tailor each walk to their pace, personality, and preferences. We love reinforcing good leash manners and making sure your dog feels safe and stimulated. Drop-In Visits: We’re happy to swing by for feeding, litter box cleaning, medication, playtime, or simply keeping your pets company while you're out. We're both experienced with administering medication to both dogs and cats if needed. Above all, we care deeply about the animals we meet and treat every pet like a member of our extended family. We look forward to meeting you and your furry companions!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and safety above all else. I take time to learn each pet’s individual needs, habits, and personality so I can provide consistent, calm, and attentive care—whether I’m there for a walk, a quick check-in, or an overnight stay. I follow all client instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and behavior preferences. I also take safety seriously on walks—using secure leashes, being mindful of surroundings, and keeping a close eye on your pet at all times. My partner, Eric, and I both have experience administering medications (oral and topical) to both cats and dogs, and we’re confident handling pets with special needs or specific routines. We treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

We are so glad we found Julia & Eric. Communication was excellent throughout our time away, and we always felt informed and reassured. Loved all of the photos & video updates. Knowing Gracie was in good hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. Will definitely be booking with them again!

Julia and Eric did a fantastic job watching our dogs in our home while we were on a short vacation. They are obviously professional “dog people “ and provided great care for our two dogs and our home while we were gone. They are great communicators and sent tons of photos and videos. We have had hit and miss experiences with some Rover sitters. Julia and Eric are definitely a hit and we would highly recommend their in home services.

Julia & Eric were both great at quick communication. They organized the meet & greet to be introduced to Ludo prior to the booking, so it gave us all a chance to get familiar with each other and go through his daily routine. They both seem to be very experienced with dogs and comfortable with puppies. The day of the booking, I received many picture and video updates throughout the day. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for amazing pet care for their loved one(s).

Julia and Eric are absolutely incredible, and we’d give them 10 stars if we could. After a near-death experience at a boarding facility, I haven’t left my dog with anyone other than family for the last 2 years. My family is 4-6 hours away though, and I needed to find someone local I could rely on. Julia and Eric sent routine updates with lots of videos of everything they were up to with my dog, and he was genuinely so happy and upbeat in all of them (and was actually eating his food too!). I couldn’t have felt more at ease while being away. They’ll 100% be our new go-to sitters!

Eric and Julia took good care of Luna and Callie and maintained a clean, organized home during the stay, which I really appreciated. Communication was consistent with updates throughout, and the dogs were safe and well cared for when I returned. I do want to note that despite discussing that my dogs are not comfortable around other dogs and may not respond well to children, there were instances where a child and other dogs were present during care. This was a concern for me given the potential safety risks. Overall, I appreciate the effort and care provided, but I would recommend clear alignment on expectations regarding additional people or animals in the home prior to booking.

Schedule

Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I work from home full-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that’s for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight house sitting. I’m able to take regular breaks throughout the day, making it easy to give pets the attention, playtime, and care they deserve. My partner, Eric, also works part-time and is available to assist, which means your pets are rarely alone and always in good hands.

To give your pet the best care possible, I’d love to know a few important things ahead of time: - Does your pet have any medical needs, allergies, or a special diet? - Are there any behavioral triggers I should be aware of (e.g. anxiety, reactivity, fear of loud noises, etc.)? - What’s their energy level like—do they enjoy lots of activity or prefer a calm environment? - How do they typically do on walks or around other animals? - Do they have any routines, quirks, or favorite toys that help them feel more comfortable? The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away!
