Information Julia M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know any past history of the animal. For example, have you raised the dog since it was a puppy or did you acquire/adopt later in life. Are there any triggers that upset the dog (loud noise, vacuum, etc.) Does the dog have dietary restrictions or a preferred treat at a certain time of day?

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs for walks around my neighborhood, other quiet neighborhoods or to the clients favorite dog park. If the client has a particular routine with their dog, I do my best to mimic and follow routine while the pet is in my care.

Pets

I will treat your pets like my own!

Pet care experience

I will treat your fur babies like they are my own. I have been a foster home for many dogs and exotic pets over the years and have owned everything from cats to tarantulas. I have owned dogs of my own for several decades and am used to caring for multiple animals at a time. I have worked for two large animal shelters and a wildlife hospital. My experience along with my Pet First Aid Certification allows me the freedom and ease of working with all dog breeds and types of pets. I can administer medications when necessary. I have volunteered for a nationally renown zoo and aquarium for several years and currently volunteer at a local animal shelter in Sarasota. I also have owned & fostered special needs animals. My passion = animals! All day, every day! I can help you with all your dog needs.

Julia is absolutely someone I trust. It is evident how much she loves pets, and she has extensive experience in animal care. My dachshund can be anxious, but he did pretty well with Julia's own pets. I recommend Julia, and plan to ask her to sit for my dog the next time I am away from home.

Julia is a fantastic sitter! She has been caring for our 3 dogs with drop in visits, and has our complete trust and confidence in caring for our puppy and 2 senior citizens. I highly recommend her for any of the services.

I have 6 rescue dogs and older diabetic cat that needs special care. I usually don't trust anyone enough to leave my animals with them, but Julia is an exception. I know how much she loves her own dogs and how wonderful care she takes of them, so when I really had to leave for few days I asked Julia to watch my babies. I didn't have to worry or think about it all the time because I knew that all my little ones are not only safe with her, but more than likely also have a great time while "parents" are away. I would recommend Julia to anyone who is slightly obsessed about their dogs safety and comfort. She is a true animal lover and a very trustworthy person and I couldn't ask for a better pet sitter for my fur kids.

Julia lioves all animals , she is compassionate and knowledgeable. She would never leave your little fur angel out in a yard alone , cause she knows the risk and chance a hawk or a large animal taking him . She is the best !!

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.
