Safety, trust & environment

I love following clear and specific instructions for how you want your pet cared for. Whether that's in a crate or free range, I am flexible to each animal's needs. I do have two cats in my home, so any animals staying here would need to be able to tolerate their presence.

Pet care experience

I've cared for pets my entire adult life. In the Peace Corps, I fostered and cared for 9 cats and kittens, making sure each had a loving home when I left the country. I've also adopted two senior dogs and two cats named Biscuit and Gravy. I would love to watch after your special pets!

Julia was fantastic! Mogs and Amy were so comfortable with her. I think they are actually still looking for her ☺️ I am so glad she was available and understood the dogs story. I would highly recommend Julia and hope I can book her services again in the future.

Julia was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter while we were gone for two weeks! She was a great communicator and shared pictures & progress throughout the two weeks. Lots of love for our dog Kirby, our cat Luna, and our chickens. Coming home, the house was in great shape – better than we left it! Can’t recommend her highly enough.
