Communicative Pet Lover!
Pet care experience
I’ve successfully cared for 19 foster cats and kittens ranging from bottle babies to senior cats. I also have been dog walking and sitting since 2018, and helped to raise a puppy from 5 weeks old. Cats: Whether they need a playmate, some cuddles, or just a quiet companion for more nervous kitties, I would love to take care of your cat! I also have grown up with cats in my home since the time I was very young. Dogs: I started dog sitting and walking in 2018. Beginning with friends who were learning to handle their rowdy puppies, I expanded out to sitting for dogs of various ages. I’m also a runner, so happy to take on a more active pup! I am also open to exotic / unique pets, just ask!
Reviews
A great job as always! Super communicative and super easy to work with.
Julia was great with my 7 mo old kitten, Junie. She followed my instructions and sent me fun photos so I could live vicariously thru her while at work. Junie also took to Julia right away!
Julia was great with our two kitties, with even our shyer one opening up to her right away! We appreciate her responsiveness and kind, easy communication style! Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter!
Julia is wonderful to work with and very flexible to our requests. Thank you for being so patient with us and our crazy kitties!
About Julia S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have dealt with many escape artist pets in my days and am very skilled at keeping them safe. I also am extremely trustworthy — my friends make fun of me for always triple checking my calendar every day!
Information Julia S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pets have any quirky requests! For example, my parents’ cats will only drink water out of the sink and I recently watched a dog that really liked being sung to… whatever they want!
A typical day
I love playing with cats and dogs- laser pointers, string toys, fetch (or a cat version of fetch where they don’t bring it back and I have to go get it) or just petting and cuddling work too

Availability
I currently don’t have any pets in my own home so I would love to devote lots of time and attention to your pets! My job is hybrid and very flexible on Mondays and Fridays and my availability is frequently open on weekends.
