I’m back home after some traveling so I have heaps of free time on my hands. I also have my own car so transportation isn’t a limitation. I go on morning walks if not daily, then most days so I figured taking care of pups would be a great way to get my daily steps in!

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at home (under my mom’s care) and one of the pups is crate trained the other isn’t - I’m more than happy to do either with your pups! I like to take my dogs on 2 longer walks and a few shorter potty breaks in between. I’m pretty flexible so whatever your fur babies need I’m happy to do that for them :) I’m comfortable providing meds for both cats and dogs or preparing any special meals for them.

Information Julia S. would like to know about your pet

Please feel free to let me know if your pup has any special needs, daily medications, or specific schedules that I should be following/account for. It would also be helpful to know if they’d be more comfortable without the presence of any other pets (like in public spaces or whatnot).

A typical day

I’d love to take pups to dog parks (if they’re comfortable with it), hikes, and anywhere else you suggest that could be fun for us to do :).

Pets

Cornell Animal Science Graduate

Pet care experience

I’m recently graduated college with ann animal science degree and marine bio minor. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs of my own (under my family’s care) and did rover all throughout college. I spent the past 3 years since graduating working with animals in various settings such as animal sanctuaries and wildlife research. I’m back home now with heaps of time on my hands - what better way than to spend it with animals!!

Julia was fantastic with our 1 yr old rescue. She cared for our dog and our home like they were her own. We will definitely use her services again in the future!

Deuce took a liking to Julia right away! Julia was super easy to work with. She communicates well, highly accredited, great with animals, and an easy-going person. Highly recommend hiring her to watch your dog. Will definitely circle back to her whenever Deuce needs someone again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
