Experienced Animal Caregiver
Pet care experience
Let’s be fur real 🐶: it’s not hard to love animals if you have a heartbeat & enjoy fun! I’ve been the primary caregiver/trainer of dogs & cats since I was a kid (grew up with five dogs - 3 dalmatians and 2 chihuahua/daschund mixes). I’ve also had a german shepherd, a bunny, hamsters, and a cat. I speak to animals like I speak to anyone, and believe positive reinforcement goes a long way. My best friends are mostly four-legged & I’d do anything for them.
Reviews
Julia was great! Left my dog, Banjo, in her care for a long stay and was given soo many updates and tons of photos on what he was up to during his stay with her. She was responsive and communicated thoroughly. I would recommend her to anyone.
My pup was so well cared for :)
Julia is amazing with Sally. Sally stayed with her for a few days and had a great time. She was super communicative and great with Sally who can be a little anxious sometimes. highly recommend for your pup!
Excellent job! Julia took great care of my shy little girl while I was away.
About Julia M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am a quiet person, someone who pays attention to detail. I hold a great respect for animals & their right to safety, security & the spaces they occupy & call home. Each animal is different & there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach. I am adaptable & considerate of every animal’s needs. *please note I recently spranged my ankle so I had to cancel a couple bookings as I managed the healing process
Home
Information Julia M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs, preferences, or learned commands for easy human-animal communication. Also whether they get along with other animals, any potential ‘triggers’ or things to be aware of, past traumas in the case of shelter dogs/cats etc.
A typical day
I enjoy walking around McCarren Park, Bushwick & the Williamsburg Waterfront. I also enjoy walking over the bridge. I typically don’t do dog parks with the dogs I walk, unless we can have it to ourselves, in which case it’s fun to go off-leash to run & play.
