Pet care experience
I have had my dog for 7 years, since he was 3 months old. He’s happy and healthy because I get him plenty of exercise and attention. I trained him based on a Cesar Milan book (crate training as a puppy and redirection with positive reinforcement using calm assertive energy). He was from the pound and scared of everything when I got him. He still hates fireworks but has come a long way! I have experience walking and watching other dogs, including some with behavior issues and medical conditions. I started watching neighbors’ dogs in middle school and have since watched dogs of all sizes of friends and family. I’m good at balancing giving a dog affection and interaction while still gaining the dog’s respect. I currently work from home (writing my dissertation) with a flexible schedule making me available during the day for walks and visits.

You can trust Julia with your dog despite the size of the dog. She took care of my large dog well who was excited to see her everyday while I was away. Thanks
This was my first experience with Rover and it couldn't have gotten better. I was able to meet with Julia the first time she was taking Bamf out and found her quite lovely. Any worries I may have had about having Julia come take care of Bamf were forgotten. I don't need the service on a regular basis, but I do hope whenever I re-book, it will be with Julia!
Julia is a smart, loving, responsible animal lover who will take excellent care of your pup! She might even teach it how to identify different birds and plants! Your dog will be the smartest dog on the block after a few days with Julia.
Julia has watched my very feisty dog, Mullica, many times, and I always know that he will be safe and happy with her! Julia's dog, Ollie, is also Mullica's idol and an excellent role model for proper dog behavior. Julia has been a great resource for me on a variety of dog-themed questions. She has great knowledge of dog behavior, medical issues, and dog-friendly places around NJ. She even rescued me and Mullica once by recommending an emergency vet near the Catskills after Mullica got into a tussle with a porcupine on a hiking trip. In summary, Julia is a very knowledgeable and trustworthy dog-lover!

Skills
Information Julia P. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how your dog reacts to seeing other dogs on a walk and if your dog has any aggression associated with food or toys. I would also like to know if your dog is up to date on a flea and tick preventative.
A typical day
Depending on your dog and location, I will take your dog for a walk in the neighborhood, to a nearby park, for a walk on the greenway or the canal trail. If you have a fenced yard I would also play with your dog outside, especially if fetch is their thing.
