Pet care is naturally woven into my daily life. I’m very active and prioritize exercise, so taking dogs on walks and runs is not only part of my routine but also a great way to bond, provide enrichment, and reinforce training. These outings help dogs stay physically and mentally stimulated—and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. Additionally for senior dogs, I pay close attention to their behavior and body language, recognizing when they need rest, or extra comfort and support. My academic focus at Penn State revolves around animal care as I pursue a career in veterinary medicine, so I’m constantly learning about animal behavior, health, and wellness. This makes caring for pets both a personal passion and a meaningful extension of my studies.

About Julia F.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and consistency. I follow each pet’s routine closely and provide a clean, secure space. I use positive reinforcement and repetition with treats to encourage good behavior and teach fun tricks. I don’t currently have pets at home, but I offer a fenced yard and plenty of room to play. I pay close attention to each animal’s behavior and adjust care accordingly, and I keep pet parents updated with regular photos, notes, and honest communication to reassure while they’re away.

Information Julia F. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting any pet, I would like to know about their routine, behavior, health needs, and favorite activities. Knowing this helps me provide safe, loving, and consistent care for your pets.
A typical day
Mental and physical stimulation is essential for pets, so I make sure to keep them active and engaged. Depending on their energy level and personality, we’ll enjoy long walks, play fetch, tug-of-war, and work on fun enrichment games like treat puzzles or basic training tricks. I also love incorporating sensory activities, like sniff walks or hide and seek with toys or treats. My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and fulfilled while you’re away!

Enriching Dog And Cat Care🐾
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for and training dogs since I was 10 years old, developing hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds over the years. My experience includes two beloved family dogs—Zeus, a 120-pound Pitbull, and our old senior dog Hannah, a 65-pound Whippet Mix—as well as others such as Cane Corsos, Maltipoos, Labradors, French Bulldogs, and English Mastiffs. Currently, I am attending Penn State University, where I am pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. My hands-on experience, combined with my academic focus, has provided me with unique insights into animal behavior, health, and training techniques. I am dedicated to creating a safe, loving, and structured environment that brings out the best in every pet I care for.

Reviews
Julia was a great dog sitter. My dog was taken care of like it was her own. Julia sent pics and videos everyday. I was so lucky to find such a sweet caring dog sitter for my puppy. I highly recommend Julia. I will definitely be using her again.
