Pet care has been a part of my daily life for many years through both my professional and personal experience. With over 12 years working in veterinary medicine and now in healthcare administration, caring for others and maintaining routines comes naturally to me. My current schedule allows me to provide pet care primarily during evenings and select weekends, which gives me the flexibility to offer focused, dependable attention without overbooking. I intentionally keep my availability manageable so each pet receives quality care, patience, and individualized attention. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding routines, enrichment, and quiet companionship into visits depending on each pet’s personality and needs.

About Julia R.

12 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable and secure. I take time to learn each pet’s schedule, feeding preferences, activity level, favorite toys, and any household expectations before care begins. During visits, I focus on providing attentive care through feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter maintenance, playtime, exercise when appropriate, and calm companionship. My veterinary background also taught me to pay attention to behavior, comfort, and subtle changes that owners may want communicated. I provide updates and photos whenever desired so owners can feel connected and reassured while away. I believe good pet care is not just meeting physical needs—it’s helping pets feel safe, respected, and cared for in their familiar environment.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Julia and I’ve spent over 12 years working in veterinary medicine and healthcare-focused environments caring not only for animals, but also supporting and communicating with the people who love them. My background as a veterinary nurse gave me hands-on experience working with dogs and other animals in fast-paced environments while recognizing behavior changes, prioritizing safety, and helping pets feel comfortable and cared for. Today, I work in healthcare administration within a chiropractic practice where I wear multiple hats—including front desk leadership, patient coordination, scheduling, and administrative support—which has strengthened my organization, communication, and reliability. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is personal. My goal is to provide safe, dependable, and compassionate care while keeping owners informed and giving pets a positive experience. I’m currently offering limited part-time availability with a focus on evenings and select weekend hours. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Hello, I believe that Julia would be a fantastic addition to the Rover family. She is kind, caring and responsible when it comes to the care of our loving pets. Having cared for our fur babies Julia has been patient and loving to them. Showing that going the extra mile to care for them goes a long way. Lina M.

Julia is a caring, trustworthy, and genuinely kind person. She treats every pet like family and always makes sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I've seen firsthand how responsible and attentive she is, and she always goes above and beyond to provide great customer service. Anyone would be lucky to have Julia caring for their pets because she truly loves animals and is an awesome human being.

Julia has organized animal events for our Cub Scouts and has answered many questions regarding our own pets and others’ pets. She has dogs for one of our friends and absolutely loves interacting with all friends’ pets at their houses or when camping. She has background as a vet tech and takes their health and well-being very seriously.
