Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your dog in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I'd want for my own. I'm there to focus on your pet's needs, follow your routines, and keep everything running smoothly. I stay focused on what I'm there to do, giving your dog responsible care and making sure they get what they need.

Information Julia L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, quirks, or favorite games so I can prepare adequately! I want to give you and your dog exactly what you need:)

A typical day

I think it's important for dogs to get a good mix of stimulation. I like to play games, teach them tricks, take them on walks, and go to parks when possible! My grandpa always calls the sniffing on walks "checking puppy email", and I want to make sure they get through their inbox every day.

Enthusiastic & active animal lover

Pet care experience

I've loved dogs my whole life and grew up caring for two of my own. I fed them, bathed them, took them on walks and park trips, traveled with them, and handled vet visits and meds. As I got older, friends began asking me to watch their dogs, and those jobs always turned into repeat invitations, which I take as a great compliment. For the past six months, I've volunteered walking dogs at a senior living community, which has taught me to be patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog's unique needs. I follow whatever routines or priorities an owner has, and make sure every dog gets the love, activity, and safety they deserve. I'd be excited to meet you and your pup to see if I can be of help!

Julia is an amazing pet owner! I have watched her care for both cats and dogs. She is a natural born caregiver who knows how to provide animals with care and appropriate discipline when needed. She is honest, trustworthy and very kind.

I highly recommend Julia as a pet sitter. She has grown up surrounded by animals, and it shows in the natural ease and confidence she brings to caring for them. Julia is kind, responsible, and someone you can rely on completely. She’s dependable and playful, creating a warm, reassuring environment for any pet in her care. Her communication is clear and consistent, which makes coordinating care effortless. Her love for animals shines through in the way she pays attention to their needs and makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. She consistently delivers exceptional care, making her an outstanding choice for any pet‑sitting needs.

Julia has a soft spot in her heart for animals. While in college, at a time when she could not have pets, she found a service opportunity to walk the dog of an elderly person in the neighborhood near where she lived. She did this regularly for several months and loved not only the time with the dog but also the bond she was able to form with the dog's owner. She is attentive and loving to animals and hopes they find as much finds as much joy and love from her as she gets from them.

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.
