Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, Reliable, trusted Pet Care
I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs and have over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for my family’s golden retriever, whom I’ve looked after from puppyhood through to her senior years. This has included supporting her through surgery, managing recovery, and providing attentive care as she’s aged and become more fragile. I’m currently in a pet free home/house whiles I study in Plymouth. I look after pets at both locations (my family home in Warwickshire and here in Plymouth) depending on the time of year. I’m experienced with all aspects of dog care, including daily walks, bathing, feeding, administering medication, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I’ve also cared for dogs both privately and professionally, looking after pets for family friends as well as clients I hadn’t previously met, always ensuring their routines, needs, and comfort are maintained while their owners are away. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who may require extra patience and support. I adapt easily to each dog’s individual personality and routine, and I’m comfortable managing specific needs or special instructions to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for.

Ratings and reviews
Julia had my dog at short notice after I was let down. I had never used Rover before so was unsure but after meeting Julia the doubts left. My dog is an older dog and she was calm and relaxed which really helped, she sent regular updates and he took to her really well and settled in for his weekend stay. He was walked regularly and I had complete confidence that he was safe and happy with Julia. Communication was clear and flexible I would recommend her to anyone.
Julia was a great host - she was really responsive and accommodating, kept us updated, and made sure that our dog had a great time. Thanks again, Julia!
Rover had a wonderful time with Julia! We got lots of updates and pictures of him on lovely walks and relaxing. I could see he was really content 🐾❤️ Thank you Julia!
Julia was amazing, super quick to respond and really reassuring throughout. You could tell Kanan had a great time! She kept me updated with plenty of photos. I’d definitely recommend Julia if you’re looking for someone to look after your furry friend 😊
Absolutely amazing sitter! Cacti had the best time!
Julia and her sister Natalia were able to accommodate Mylo for daycare which he seems to have really enjoyed. I think Mylo and their dog Nala are now friends too 😊 Would highly recommend & will be calling on them to mind Mylo again when the need arises. 5 stars! Really appreciate the care they gave him.

Schedule
I’m currently working bank staff, which means I’m very flexible. I have a lot of spare time and I’m free any time of day or night, even on short notice. If you prefer to pick your dog up early in the morning or late at night, that’s completely okay.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house shared with close friends while attending university, creating a calm, friendly, and stable environment for pets. We have a fully fenced garden that’s ideal for quick and safe toilet breaks. The house is also conveniently located near a park, making it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor enrichment. I’m committed to ensuring pets feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while in my home.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day will be full of love, attention, treats, and plenty of walks. I’m an active person myself, so your pup will be well entertained throughout the day. With the nearest park just two minutes away, there’ll be lots of opportunities for exercise, play, and fresh air. Whether your dog prefers to chill or stay busy, there will be plenty of stimulation and activities to suit their needs.
