Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs my whole life. I've raised a litter of puppies, cared for a senior dog in her last years, and trained a rambunctious young dog with more energy than a freight train. Whatever stage of life your pet is in, and whatever personality they have, I'm ready and excited to meet and take care of them!
Reviews
Julia was wonderful with Daisy, our 11-month pup! This was her second time watching her, and we will continue to book Julia. She sends updates and cute pictures often, which we love! We know Daisy had a great weekend and was well cared for.
Julia takes such great care of our dogs and house! She provides great updates and lots of photos and we would absolutely recommend her!
Julia was GREAT. As someone who finds it difficult to leave my pets, I felt at ease with Julia. She was extremely communicative, sent tons of pictures, took my dog to the park, and went above and beyond leaving with a super clean house. Thank you so much, Julia!! I can’t tell you how much your caring for my animals means to me.
Julia did an excellent job watching our dog while we were gone for the weekend! She was extremely communicative, always providing updates and great pictures. She went above and beyond!

Safety, trust & environment
I strive to keep your dog’s routine consistent with the routine you've established to keep your dog comfortable. If your dog has a particular walk, potty, play, or eating schedule, I’ll ask for that information beforehand so I can incorporate it into my care routine. An important part of dog-sitting is providing companionship, and I always make sure the dog is well-loved and comfortable while his/her owner is away.
Information Julia S. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog on any medications? Does he/she have any special health or behavioral concerns? Are there any allergies (dog or human) that I should know about before I enter your home? If your dog is a puppy, have they received all their vaccinations?
A typical day
What dog doesn't love fetch? If your dog has a favorite toy or ball, I'll burn off some energy with them in the backyard with a little tug-of-war, keep-away, or fetch. In the cooler parts of the day, I'll take them on a walk of the neighborhood where they can get their daily bird-watching in. In the evening, I'll give them a puzzle toy with peanut butter (I'll check with you first of course), and give them a few belly-rubs.

Availability
I'm currently working from home, so I have some limited availability during the week. During a stay, providing your pet with care and companionship is my main focus, and I plan my routine during that time around his/her needs.
