Safety, trust & environment

I would love to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I've stayed with pets in a variety of living spaces (apartments, gated communities, townhouses) and understand how to adapt and meet your pets needs according to their living situation!

Information Julia S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pets have any special needs I should account for, such as anxiety around certain things, habits that make them feel safe, or medications.

A typical day

I will take your dog on as many walks as they are up for! And if fetch is more their thing, I’m more than happy to spend an afternoon playing. Then when we settle in I’m a big fan of cuddles, so they can hang out with me while I do some computer work!

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Julia! I’ve been house/dog/cat sitting for over 6 years and I've loved animals since I was little, stopping to pet every dog on my walks :) Something that sets me apart is that I’m just as restless as your pets, so they will never miss a daily walk. Another fun fact is that I would do this for free if I didn’t have to make money! I can't wait to meet your pets!

Julia is my go-to Rover staffer!! She really cares for our pups, and she is kind and gentle with them!

Julia was fantastic with Brix! He can be a little anxious around new people, but he warmed right up to her and seemed so happy and comfortable the whole weekend. We loved the updates and photos she sent throughout our trip—it was great knowing he was in such good hands. She also left our house spotless, which we really appreciated. Thanks so much Julia!!

Julia was very sweet with our animals, and we appreciate the effort that goes into caring for multiple pets, especially with a puppy and a cat who needs medication. However, we felt that communication could have been better, as I had to ask for updates every few days. We were also surprised by the number of accidents we found upon returning home. That said, it is clear Julia loves animals, and we are grateful that our pets were lovingly cared for while we were away.

Julia did an excellent job with Zorro. She was on time, caring and we felt confident Zorro was being taken care of and loved.

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.
