Safety, trust & environment

I own a spacious (1200 sq ft), well-lit apartment all to myself. You can take a look at it in my profile photos. Although it is very bright, there are a lot of dark hiding places e.g. under the bed, closets, sofas, etc. There's also a big office room, so there's plenty of space. I have a crate (if your dog is trained for it) and a dog bed in my house. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet with clean and safe streets for walking. A few parks are located in short walking distance from my place. I have a MASSIVE 83” tall cat tree for your cats to have fun along with a few hideaways. You can also check it out in my shared photos! We use a full-house water filtration system along with reverse osmosis so that your pets drink the cleanest water possible.

Pet care experience

Hello dear pet owners! I'm a dedicated service provider at Rover, and I'm passionate about caring for animals. As a biologist, my love for the natural world extends to our furry companions. Growing up, my family and I cherished our Papillon and Yorkie, providing me with valuable experience in small dog care. Additionally, I've had the pleasure of looking after my friends' beloved cats for several years. Although I don't have a pet of my own yet, your pets will receive all of my love and care💕 I DO PROVIDE CARE FOR DIABETIC CATS AND DOGS 💉 *I am open to any LAST MINUTE bookings Use code JULIAR45828 for $20 off your first booking on Rover 🐾🐈‍⬛

Julia took outstanding care of Duchess once again. Right before we left, Duchess was prescribed a new medication by the vet. Julia was able to give her the new medication and sent frequent updates so I could have a worry-free time away! From the pictures, it also looks like Duchess had a great time!

Julia did a great job watching my shy, special needs cat while I was away. Her home is well-lit with plenty of hideouts and a large cat tree exactly as described in her profile. Julia kept me updated with daily pictures, helped troubleshoot a litter issue that came up, and was able to administer my cat's medications without an issue. She was quick to respond throughout the stay and definitely gave the impression of having a genuine concern for my cat's wellbeing—not only did she dedicate time to bonding with Nessie, but she also did incredibly well in monitoring/responding to fluctuations in her day-to-day care requirements. Overall, Julia gave the impression of being a highly competent sitter, and I have no doubt that she would give her best to any pet in her care.

Julia and Vlad are great people! They have taken great care of my little senior Boston terrier, Rosa, many times. They provide daily updates and are always super quick to respond when I have questions. Most important -Rosa loves them! Thank you! ❤️
