Pet care experience

Pet lover for all sizes and shapes

Hi! I’m a biologist with a lifelong love of animals that somehow isn’t completely fulfilled by my two adorable cats. So I decided to combine that love with a side job and get paid to spend time with even more pets. Pretty much heaven, right? I grew up with big, lovable, drooling dogs and have had pets my entire life. I truly believe life is just better with an animal by your side! I love both cats and dogs and am comfortable with pets of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, from energetic pups who want to play and explore to cats who would rather have some quiet company and cuddles (on their terms, of course!). Because I have two cats of my own, I’m not able to board pets in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, playtime, feeding, litter box care, and plenty of attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for when you can’t be there, and I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I give my own. I’d love to meet you and your pets!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately, I can’t board your babies in my home since I have two very jealous kitties of my own! But I’m more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home. I’ll follow your instructions and their usual routine as closely as possible, whether that means meals, walks, playtime, litter box care, medications, or simply some company and cuddles. Every pet is different, so just let me know what makes yours happiest and most comfortable!

She did an amazing job taking care of our two kitties. She made us feel very comfortable and she will be taking care of kitties again soon.

Julia is a gem! Such a warm, kind person who clearly loves animals. We never worry about our kitty boys while we are away, knowing they’re getting good attention and care. Thanks so much, Julia!!

Dog Walking • Jul 14, 2026

We are new to Rover and Julia was our first experience with dog walking. From the beginning she was very responsive. Julia was timely and was very good with our very hyper dog. We hope to continue with Julia's walking our dog.

Schedule

My schedule has some flexibility and varies throughout the week, so I’m often able to accommodate different days and times. Let me know what you and your pet need, and I’m sure we can find a way to make it work! For pets who need multiple visits each day, I’m usually a better fit when visit times have some flexibility rather than needing to happen at the exact same times every day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

The more I know about your pet, the better! Please let me know about their usual routine, personality, favorite activities, any quirks or fears, medical needs, and anything I should watch out for. For dogs, it’s also helpful to know how they behave on walks and around other dogs or people. For cats, I’d love to know whether they’re social, shy, playful, or prefer to have their space. Basically, anything you think will help me understand your baby and make them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I don’t have any breed, size, or age preferences. I love them all! Although I’ll admit I have a special place in my heart for big, drooling dogs!
