Highlights
Pet care experience
certified animal lover since 1996
I’ve always been a big animal gal — growing up, I insisted on having fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even rats (though not all at once!). Most of all, I loved my big yellow lab, Opie. 🏡🐶🐱 When I moved to Charlotte in 2018, I quickly adopted my cat, Luna (now 8; 9lb) and in 2020 my dog, Aurora (now 6; 55lb). We live in a house in Wilmore (South End) with a fenced yard and access to great neighborhood walks! 🐶 Aurora is a very friendly gal who loves making new friends! She is comfortable sharing her space, treats, walks, and toys with others. 🐈⬛ Luna tolerates dogs in her space, lol. In the case of doggy day care or boarding, it’s very important to me that your pup is friendly toward (or even better, completely uninterested in) cats! I also have a crate and am able to supervise the multi-pet dynamic while I’m home and crate them while I’m away if needed!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Julia was a fantastic Rover! Bruno looked like he had plenty of fun with his new friends during the week and Julia made sure to send all the pictures of his adventures along the way!
Julia is very kind and did a wonderful job looking after our 11-year-old dog while we were away for a few days. We did a meet-and-greet to make sure her cat and dog got along. Julia provided daily updates and from the photos he was quite comfy in her home. I highly recommend.
Julia took great care of Gus. She communicated as necessary and sent updates throughout. We have already booked again for a future weekend!
Julia was great! Rowdy got along great with aurora. She provided updates and photos throughout the long weekend and had his bag packed promptly on arrival. 10/10
10/10 this is my dogs favorite sitter! He always leaves her house happy and tired from lots of playing.
Great experience! Julia was very responsive, she sent regular updates and photos which was amazing. She was also incredibly flexible when my travel plans changed last minute and extended the stay without any issues. Highly recommend!

Schedule
🗓️ Because I work unconventional hours (late afternoons and evenings), I’m available for walks in the morning and early afternoon ☀️ I do not work on Sundays and Mondays and am available for more frequent care/potty breaks on those days! I’m available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays before 2:30PM and after ~9:30PM! Fridays and Saturdays are available for pups who don’t mind hanging out with my pup while I’m at work most of the day 🫡
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In the case of doggy day care or boarding, I live in a two-bedroom home with fenced-in yard and a furry companion (Aurora) to offer up! Potty breaks are readily available while I’m home, and my neighborhood is great for walks! My dog is 55 pounds, and I am comfortable walking with larger dogs. Pets are allowed on the furniture and can be crated if needed. If I’m dropping in to your home, I will of course be respectful of your space and treat it how I’d want you to treat mine!
Pets
A typical day
Because I am in a house with a yard, outdoor potty and play breaks are readily available! My dog and I go on a daily walk (weather permitting) and take weekly trips to the Whitewater Center dog park (with another doggy friend of ours). There are also plenty of toys within my home that my dog is comfortable sharing, and pets are allowed on all of the furniture in my home.
