I do not offer stays at my residence as it is an apartment with no fenced yard and many rules about animals being on the premises.

Information Julia M. would like to know about your pet

Pleas let me know about any medications, physical assistance needs, or behavioral issues. I can do most oral medication but I cannot do injections. I have experience with territorial aggression, fear aggression, general fear, nightmares, seizures and more. Please, let me know if there are warning signs that are unusual or unique to your animal.

A typical day

I enjoy playing with dogs, keeping them busy and their mind working, and doing a few basic commands with them. I enjoy keeping them company and helping them be happy while your away. Animals in general are wonderful, in my opinion, and I love seeing them happy.

Al's Furry Pals

Pet care experience

One thing I would like to cover beforehand is that I do take public transit. This includes Trimet, Wes, C-Tran, YCTA. I do not take the 1X or 2X and do not go to Salem. I am willing to go outside my provided area so long as the transit systems runs within walking distance (about 1.5-2 miles) and I can make it there and back depending on scheduled route times. Over the years, I have had many wonderful opportunities to work with and help so many kinds of animals! I've lived with dogs and cats, and have worked with and lived with a number of other animals, of all shapes and size. I have worked at the Beaverton Farmers Market at Sit N' Stay for 8 summers ('13-'19 and again '22 after reopening after quarantine) and loved to see all our regulars and new commers! I have worked with my friend in raising 2 Service Dogs and volunteered at the Tigard Animal Hospital in the summer of 2005 and 2007. I have a great base of general knowledge and truly enjoy what I do. I would be delighted to watch your fur babies (and others) in your home. I make every effort to keep you up to date on how your fuzzy family members are doing by offering photo and text updates. (Currently I am not yet vaxxed for COVID but I do intend to be. I will update this once I am.)

My pets were happy and relaxed when I returned home. You couldn't ask for a better pet sitter-- right on time, kind to the pets and also took great care of the house!

Julia was absolutely amazing. I was out of town and couldn't get home for 2 days due to weather and flight changes. Julia was able to come over and watch the dogs for 2 days. Even stayed the night which made it easier for my dogs. She was in constant communication and even sent pics with updates. Couldn't ask for a bettet pet sitter for my 2 dogs. She absolutely went above amd beyond, I don't know what I would have done without her help. As they say 10/10, would highly recommend!

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.
