Lifelong lover of all animals!

Pet care experience

Growing up we were never without pets in my home, since then I have continued to care for friends, family, and even stranger’s animals, I can guarantee you I will be able to meet all your needs! I have walked, visited, and stayed overnight with my neighbors and friends animals from the time I was about 11 years old. I know how to handle large, strong dogs as well as little ones! I am very experienced in walking, playing, feeding, and loving dogs of all sizes and energy levels! I am super patient and gentle with animals. I promise to keep your pets safe and well loved at all times. Your pet will get long walks to release their energy. I will make sure they are well fed and hydrated during my visit. And trust me, they will get lots of head rubs and belly scratches as well! I am comfortable with cats, rabbits, and most other animals as well and am happy to help care for them during my visit! You will get detailed updates and photos from me each time I visit your pets. Feel free to message me with any questions you may have. I can’t wait for to hear from you!

Julia was absolutely amazing. She provided daily updates, checked in as scheduled and provided exceptional care to our dog Lilo. Lilo is usually very standoffish when it comes to strangers and is often very stubborn but she was able to connect with julia instantly. I will be booking her again in the future.

Julia was amazing! She was a very pleasant and trustworthy person, who totally took such great care of our dogs. She was reliable and kept us up to date with emails and photos. We felt comfortable having her in our home and will definitely ask her to sit for us in the future.

Julia did a great job caring for our German Shepherd and our house. She communicated with us and texted photos, which was important to us. Big Thumbs Up!

I’ve seen Julia interact with and love on dogs her whole life. She genuinely cares for them and is an animal lover! She plays with them, cuddles and snuggles them, and gives them all the attention they could imagine. Every time she sees a dog she says “aww! Oh my goodness so cute!!” You can be confident she will care for your pup well.

Safety, trust & environment

I have worked with many different breeds with varying personalities. I understand the effort it takes to ensure large or energetic dogs have plenty of activity. I am patient and gentle with timid dogs who are unsure of strangers, I will take the time to allow your pets to approach me and feel safe with my presence. Your pets will be well secured on a harness or leash as needed and all doors and fences will be quickly and securely closed. I am detail oriented and will follow your instructions closely, asking for additional information if needed.

Information Julia R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I need to account for. I always want to provide top quality care for your pet and to make sure your animals and you feel safe and comfortable having me visit.

A typical day

If your dog as a specific routine, I will make sure to closely follow this. They will have walks to release energy and plenty of time to explore and smell the neighborhood. I will ensure they are well hydrated and fed. I love to play catch and tug of war with their favorite toys. Your pets will receive lots of head scratches and belly rubs!
