Information Julia R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or behaviors. Written instructions always help. I will leave any pertinent info about the visit on your daily Rover log and include a picture each time. I'm also happy to carry in a package from your porch or roll the trash to the curb if you're away for an extended vacation.

A typical day

I follow the lead of your pet - whether they want exercise, a walk, snuggles, play time, a belly rub, or some alone time, I'm ready for them!

Pets

Care as if they were my own!

Pet care experience

I enjoy all types of animals. I am caring, observant, dependable, and conscientious. I have an American Foxhound who melted my heart toward dogs when we adopted him as a puppy 7 years ago. Typical of hounds, he was extremely energetic and loved to run so by necessity, we learned a variety of enrichment activities to keep his mind and nose stimulated! We also fostered a pregnant momma cat with 7 kittens and adopted one of them - now our 3 year old Simba! When I'm not caring for my family or animals, I love gardening, cooking, teaching, camping and traveling. I enjoy nature and walks - and with a furry friend it's even better! I look forward to getting to know you and your pet and leaving you with the peace of mind that they're in good hands and always well-loved.

We were very happy with Julia and our dogs were well taken care of while we were away for the holidays. I would highly recommend Julia for pet care!🙂
