Safety, trust & environment

I sadly cannot offer boarding because I live in an apartment complex with strict pet rules. But, as far as me being in your home I will follow all of your rules and can give you multiple past references who trust me 100% in their homes. & I will always run decisions by you that weren’t previously discussed for the duration of my stay.

Information Julia G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs of any kind, needs medication, or if they have anxiety and are prone to accidents in the house.

A typical day

There is no typical day while petsitting as every pet has different needs & each owner is different. But, I can promise you that I will fully follow your instructions while with your pet. I’m willing to do as much or as little with your pet as you would like, depending on their temperament & what they’re used to (walks, dog park, play sessions, etc).

The Work from Home Sitter

Pet care experience

Please Note: I have a 1yo chihuahua, Bug, that will have to accompany me during Housesitting stays. I can bring him to a Meet ‘n Greet beforehand. He’s GREAT with dogs, people not so much. :) I have been dog-sitting for friends & strangers alike for over 25 years, but have only been using Rover since 2019 (& took a break from 2023-2025). I work remotely & am a HOMEbody! So, if you need someone to spend 90% of their time with your animals, I am your girl! I love the extra company & will care for your animals as if they’re my own. I’ve also handled pets on medications & with special instructions, etc. as well. If you have any questions please reach out as I am extremely flexible & here to help YOU! So, let me take care of your wonderful animals so you don’t have to worry about them while you’re away! :) Please keep in mind that Rover takes 20% and my rates are a little higher due to that. All rates are negotiable.

Magical! We came home to happy and healthy pets and a clean home. Thank-you, Julia, for allowing us to get away without worrying. Your daily communication was excellent!

Julia is the best! I'm so glad to have found her. She is super communicative and incredibly flexible. She came to our rescue when we desperately needed her after my son was called to work at the last minute. My plane was literally taxing for take-off for an international flight - she immediately responded and told me she could come by the next morning and not to worry. I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands. I will definitely use her from here on out!

Julia took great care of my cat and dog. When my dog had a minor injury (not her fault) she was communicative and professional in handling it and keeping me informed. Would book again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
