Animal lover and nature educator!

Pet care experience

I am a recent graduate from Tufts university and am living in Somerville over the summer! I am going to be an early childhood nature educator and am excited to also work in pet care hopefully for your family! I have grown up with multiple animals in the home since I was 2, I always had at-least 2 dogs growing up, range of sizes from big to tiny, and took on many pet care responsibilities from a young age, fostering a deep love for animals! As well as dogs I have personally had and cared for Guinea pigs and hamsters, chickens, frogs, and a turtle, and have experience caring for cats, while I have not owned a cat due to my mothers allergies. Professionally, I was a dog walker for 2 years before the COVID pandemic sent me home for families around the Tufts area, walking one older smaller dog and one young big dog! I have done overnight dog sitting for several coworkers in the past, as well as within nature educator trainings have been trained on proper handling of both exotic animals and pet-like animals, as well as clean up, care, feeding and more!

Julia was great. I had a lot of different specific things I needed her to do, and she was totally up to the task. She sent cute pictures every day, and I felt very comfortable that my pets were safe and cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend her!

Julia was so wonderful with our two large pups! She took excellent care of our dogs and our home while we were away, and sent us regular updates (with pictures) which we greatly appreciated. She was attentive, responsive, flexible with our start/end dates, and gave our dogs a lot of love and attention (and regular exercise via walks, playing in the yard, and playing inside). We will definitely be reaching back out to Julia in the future!

Julia took great care of our cat. We felt totally confident leaving her in Julia's hands. She spent time playing with the cat in addition to taking care of food and litter, so we knew she wouldn't be lonely.

Julia was great! All three of my dogs loved her and I really appreciate how caring she was about meeting each one's specific needs. Don't expect to need a sitter again anytime soon but I highly recommend her to anyone else!

Safety, trust & environment

I have an apartment that currently does not accept animals, so I would be thrilled to care for pets in my clients homes! I have experience in house and pet sitting, and would follow all instructions and routines for the animals given by the owner, and would be mindful of safety first if taking the pets outside in a yard, on a leash etc. I also am tidy and respectful and would leave your home just as I found it, always!

Information Julia G. would like to know about your pet

For walks, anything to be aware of in terms of triggers, behavior with other dogs, instructions for finding the necessary equipment in your home, any special needs or allergies For home visits, your dogs comfortability with strangers in the home and how to best approach, feeding routines, bedtime routines, any medications necessary

A typical day

I love to play outside with dogs, in the yard or a park! I love the walking path behind Davis Square, as well as the trails around the Fells Reservation! I also love taking dogs on a walk to a coffee shop and getting them a puppacino (whipped cream)! Additionally I love just hanging around the house with pets and playing with toys or teaching them tricks!
