your pets deserve full time care!

Pet care experience

*If this is your first time booking, use my personal promo code to get $20 off! :) Promo code: JULIAS45876 Just moved to the Wilmington area with my husband, our 5 month old son and our 2 pups! My experience with dogs and cats is very long and extensive. I’ve been a dog owner my whole life, and have been around all sorts of other animals—like cats, horses, birds, and others—as well. But my journey doesn’t end there! I have a years worth of experience working for a doggy day care center, so I have lots of experience taking care of pups in a whole host of situations. From high energy pups, to calm senior dogs I can handle anything you need. I have medical experience with pups, so I’m happy to assist with medication administration. I’ve also been a foster parent to pups, which was always a great and rewarding experience. I have animals of my own now too, so your pooch will have plenty of friends to hang out with! I have been doing Rover for over 4 years now on and off. One of the best things about me as a sitter is that I have a very flexible schedule as this is a full time job for me usually, or I work from home at times. I’m happy to work around unorthodox schedules and will make sure that your pup is my number one priority. My husband Jordan, is also on Rover and is also around part time, so one of us is always home with the pups! You get two animal lovers for the price of one 😊 I live in a spacious townhome with plenty of playing space, toys, and an almost always empty dog park to let some steam out. I will also send plenty of awesome pictures while you are away! A little disclaimer, I do have a 5 month old baby and if you are booking for me to house sit, you and your animals will need to be okay with my baby accompanying me! When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all.

I am traveling to Denver for a conference and brought my three dogs. Julia communicated w me over the app before her scheduled walk with my three dogs and was very reassuring to this worried human dog mom. I have three big dogs and she handled them like a pro. The post walk notes and photos were timely and my doodles had a blast with her. I highly recommend Julia!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very hands on and patient with all of the animals I care for. Our home is generally a peaceful area and we always have water available for the pups and make sure everyone is being supervised. We allow any dog on any of our furniture and love to make them feel at home! When I am at someone else’s home, I treat their home as I would my own and make sure to go out of my way to make it seem like no one was ever there, except a happy and healthy pup or kitty waiting for your return!

Information Julia S. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Does your pup or kitty have any health issues that need to be tended to? Any dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try avoid? I also have no problem helping with watering plants as long as there is compensation!

A typical day

I love exploring with dogs, so we’ll never be starved for adventure. There are tons of great things to do around and I’d be happy to go check them all out and take them to many great parks and trails around. If your pup likes getting out and about, they’ll be right at home with me! Or if your pup is a sleepy homebody, we can cuddle all day. If you have a kitty, I always make time for making sure they are happy and loved as well. There are so many things to be curious about, and we’ll make sure to explore as much as we can. My number one concern is to make your pup as happy as possible.

I currently do this full time so I am always available to take care of the pups and supervise! We can go for potty breaks often and get plenty of fresh air and always have enough play time, as well as making sure medications are taken on time.
