Pet care experience
Looking to meet your best friend!
My background: Hello I’m Julia! I have been using this app for the past couple of years and I have owned cats & dogs my entire life! I have always loved animals and because of this, have gained a vast array of different animal handling and caring experiences. During undergrad, i was on the pre-vet and wildlife biology track - trying to decide between the two! I eventually chose to focus more on wildlife biology and now I’m a wildlife biologist here in Charleston. I’m originally from Pittsburgh, PA, which is where I went to undergrad, but spent the past two years in NC for grad school. Go Blue Devils!! My animal experience: - Washington Area Humane Society - Jefferson Hills Vet Hospital (photo 1) - Wildlife rescue center(s) (different countries - photo 2) - Dog walker/carer & cat sitter (years and years and years) (photo 3) - Duke Lemur Center Animal Husbandry Worker (photo 4) - Oyster farm volunteer & fish lover (if you have fish that need attention too!) - Field work and handling salmon, toads, and sea turtles (photos 5 & 6) - ** experienced in providing both syringe and pilled medicines to dogs and cats

Safety, trust & environment
Transparency: I used to charge less for bookings, but over time, this was leading to burnout. Owners wanted me at their house for 24 hours and while I love being there, I couldn’t justify the pay amount. Rover takes a percentage of my earnings and I also have to set aside earnings for taxes. I also like to meet you and your pet beforehand (without charging). So while I love Rovering, I also need to make sure I’m being compensated appropriately. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out!! Safety: I take animal-sitting and house-watching very seriously, not only for the animals, but for myself! I would love to meet you and your pet beforehand to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me and vice versa. This can be at your home or a public place. I also need to know anything important before the sitting, including if your pet is ever aggressive. Lastly, pet cameras and cameras in general are fine, I would just like those disclosed to me first! This is for my own personal safety. I have my own cat and I understand how important it is to take care of your pet. I do not take it lightly!
Ratings and reviews
Julia is very reliable and does a great job taking care of our home and dog. She goes above and beyond to make Koda comfortable and cares for her like family!
Julia was fantastic! She watched our dog and our house for a weekend away and did a great job. She sent plenty of pictures and updates and even took our dog to a state park (her favorite place to walk!). We returned to a very happy dog and a very clean home. Will definitely hire Julia again!
Julia was amazing! She was so helpful and communicative and did great with my cats!
Julia was fantastic, she responded and communicated very promptly. She was quick to come meet my pups for a last minute request and then was flexible with my unknown schedule. She sent pics frequently and kept me posted on the antics of a new 5 month old puppy. Needless to say, I would absolutely have Julia take care of my pups in the future.
We feel so much better about leaving our dogs when we know Julia is checking on them! She's reliable, trustworthy and great with our dogs!
We always feel better about leaving our dogs when we know Julia can check in on them!

Schedule
House-sitting: I know when booking someone to house-sit there are not too many details provided for what that exactly includes..this is because every sitter is very different and will therefore, charge very differently too! I charge $110 per night because I will sleep at your house, and spend the majority of the day at your house too. I do like to give myself a couple of hours not at your house, in case I need to grocery shop, go to the gym, basically just be a human! But, we can work together to figure out the level of attention your pet needs. During the house-sit, I will give your pet my upmost attention, feed, play, walk, and basically follow whatever schedule you provide. Drop-ins/walks: I charge $25 for 30 minutes of a check-in with your pet! This can include a feeding, bathroom break, play time, or a walk. Let me know what they need and I can provide it! **If you are a first time Rover client, ask me about my $20 off promo code!**
