Pet care experience

Experienced animal lover here!

Hello! A little about myself...I grew up with dogs, cats, and many other types of pets (birds, snakes, rabbits, rats, turtles, tortoises, fish, etc...) When I was 18, I was a veterinary assistant and did that for 3 years, and also volunteered for the Humane Society and a 24 hour emergency pet hospital. I have had pets throughout my whole life, and currently own multiple cats and 2 dogs, an Aussie and a Siberian husky. I give my cats their vaccines myself and do my own cats nail trims as well. In our home, we consider our pets family, and I will treat your family members the way I would want mine treated...they will always be in caring hands with me. FYI, I have administered oral medications to both dogs and cats and am comfortable with giving subcutaneous injections if needed. BTW: if you have birds or other exotics that need care, I am comfortable with that too! Just message me to discuss.

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to take your dogs for walks when weather allows it, throw the ball for them, and of course give them lots of attention. If you have a long haired baby, I am happy to brush him/her. Same goes for cats. I love both dogs and cats (and other animals!) and I will give them whatever they need when you are away :)

Julia was absolutely wonderful!! She took care of our boys perfectly, was wonderful with communication and asking for any clarification. She sent tons of pictures, administered medications/maintained a sense of normalcy for our special needs boy. We will absolutely be booking with Julia again and recommending her to our friends and family.

Julia did an amazing job with my three dogs! It was clear they enjoyed having her and were well taken care of. Julia took care of everything and sent lots of pictures! We will definitely use her again for pet sitting in the future!

Julia is wonderful with our kitty. She gives her the pets and porch time she needs. Julia follows our care instructions (knowing details to pet parents are very important!).😊 She is punctual, sends daily photos and a synopsis of her visit. We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter and I’m sure Bagheera would agree.

We have counted on Julia for years now. She feels like more of a friend than a pet sitter! We have no worries when we are gone.

Schedule

I am a stay at home mom to a preschooler who is in school during the day, so my schedule is very flexible. I sometimes have to bring my 5 year old son depending on the day and time, and he just sits quietly with his tablet when I am taking care of pets. If we are going out for a walk, my son walks with us. This means no aggressive dogs or hyper dogs that will knock over a child or bite. Also, in the summer months, I will not take your dog out longer than needed to poop and pee. The asphalt is too hot for their feet and it would be cruel to keep them out. I am happy to play with your dog indoors after the potty break (or a yard with grass/shade for the scheduled time. I am very communicative, honest, trustworthy, and dependable. I will always update you on your pet and send photos. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!

If a dog is fearful of something specific, aggressive, likes to chase cats, or doesn’t like children and/or other dogs. I don’t want to find this out the hard way while I’m out on a walk! I will not take care of dogs with any aggressive behaviors. Also, if the dog has allergies or specific dietary needs, let me know!
