Experienced Pet Foster Parent
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
Julia is a fantastic sitter. Attentive to details, super responsible, lots of picture updates. We felt very well-taken care of as she gave our senior chihuahua very loving care and attention.
Julia was great at taking care of my cats!
Julia did a great job dropping in on my two cats over a long weekend - everything about working with her was easy and enjoyable, from the initial communication to our first meeting, the care she provided and photo updates she shared, and how happy and healthy the cats were when I returned. I would definitely book with her again.
Julia was amazing! Super responsive, responsible, and reliable. Would definitely book with her again!
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.
