Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable with scared and/or overly energetic dogs and cats. I find it very rewarding to earn their trust. If there was a fenced in yard I would play with them, and take them on a walk, if requested. I can crate, feed, medicate, and walk a dog. I am able to feed, medicate, and clean a litterbox for cats.

Information Julia G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog is reactive towards other dogs or people, so I can make sure I make the walk safe for both of us. I also like to know if the dog uses a prong collar. I do prefer to use a harness instead and have one available in every size, if the owner is comfortable.

A typical day

I like going to places that have larger paths and a lot of new scents for mental stimulation. I love playing ball or just with whatever toys the animal prefers! Cuddles are always available if the animal is comfortable.

Pet care experience

I have worked with animals since I was 18, and have had them around my whole life. I worked for a Veterinary hospital, and worked for years at an animal shelter. I have experience dealing with every size dog and cat including walking, bathing/grooming, training, feeding, medicating, and loving!

Julia has provided excellent care for my senior dog many times over the past few years. She is reliable, caring, attentive, and always makes me feel confident that my dog is in great hands. I truly appreciate the updates and the thoughtful care she provides, especially with an older dog. I highly recommend Julia for anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

Julia is a life saver! I messaged her 2 hrs before I needed her because I had an emergency and she was prompt to respond and showed up on time. My dog and I are more than thankful for Julia ❤️
