Julia can care for

Cats

Availability

I’m a grad student with a flexible schedule, so I can easily fit pet care into my week. I have a car and am happy to commute for walks, visits, or check-ins. I’m available mornings, evenings, and most weekends to help care for your pets.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a two-bedroom apartment with two friendly cats, but I’m not able to board pets or provide overnight stays (can make an exception depending on the size and demeanor of your pet). For drop-in visits or dog walking, I always prioritize your pet’s safety and well-being by following your instructions, keeping pets secure, and giving lots of attention and care in their own familiar environment.

Information Julia S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know about each pet’s likes, dislikes, energy, and any special routines or needs, so I can make their time as happy and comfortable as possible.

A typical day

When watching pets, activities include walks, playtime with their favorite toys, and games like fetch or hide-and-seek. If caring for cats, I’ll provide interactive play and cozy cuddle sessions.

Loving, Reliable Cat Sitter

Pet care experience

With two beloved cats of my own and years of experience caring for my friends’ and families’ dogs and cats, I bring genuine compassion and dedication to every pet I watch. I’ve been the trusted sitter for neighbors, friends, and family’s pets since I was young, reliably providing walks, playtime, feeding, and baths— always treating each animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s regular visits or special care for senior pets, your furry family member will get attentive love and comfort every time.

Julia was able to help us within relatively short notice (~1 week before we left for our trip) and was communicative and friendly throughout. She came out a few days before our trip to do a complimentary "meet-and-greet" to go over instructions, meet our cats, and generally put us at ease since it was our first time using a sitter via Rover. We looked forward to receiving her daily updates and pictures, and appreciated how she communicated proactively when minor questions came up.

I highly recommend Julia for your pet's temporary care needs. She is a lovely and responsible young lady who followed my instructions for the drop in visits for my cat. She sent me multiple pictures each day and she described exactly what was done in a note each day. I appreciated her care of my cat and her attention to details. I felt very confident in her services.

Julia was great. Asked all the right questions, visited before she sat and took wonderful care of our cat. Great communication and updates. I would absolutely use her again, and recommend her.

Julia was fantastic- very flexible, eager to help in any way, and clearly actually played with the cats and gave them affection. We felt at ease knowing they were in good hands. We’d highly recommend Julia and will use her again any time we need a sitter.

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.
