Dog Lover with a Flexible Schedule
Pet care experience
I am a senior at Wesleyan University with experience caring for, walking, and loving dogs, cats, and horses. As an assistant at BluePearl Veterinary Partners and a regular animal shelter volunteer (Meriden Humane Society in Connecticut), I have experience with unfamiliar dogs of all sizes and energy levels and in administering oral medication. I am also certified in small animal CPR, basic and advanced life support via the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care. I live in Newton, MA and have three Goldendoodles at home. My dogs are my family and best friends, but I love meeting new pups! My dogs and I love going on long walks, cuddling and playing in the yard. I also have experience in teaching/using basic commands I have a flexible schedule and am available for 30-60 min walks (or runs). Please let me know if you think I would be a good fit for your dog!
Reviews
Julia took great care of our anxious dog while we were away for the holidays. Our dog isn't the easiest, but Julia made sure she got plenty of exercise and felt calm and safe all week long. She was communicative, respectful and kind.
Julia. was great. Very responsible and really bonded with our dog quickly. She always provides regular updates in our dog’s status
Julia is a true animal lover. She immediately bonded with my two dogs. She took them on long walks and even worked on their training. She is very responsible and trustworthy. I highly recommend her as a dog walker or dog sitter.

My pet care philosophy values patience and positive reinforcement training. My experiences working with stressed dogs in the vet hospital and in shelter has shown me the benefits of understanding when working with animals. I am more than happy to talk about the methods that you use to train and care for your dog and implement them when caring for your animal.
