Safety, trust & environment

I’m always mindful, respectful, and responsible when caring for pets in someone else’s home. I make sure to keep a clean and safe environment, follow instructions carefully, and handle everything with care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home, and I’ll always do my best to make both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure.

Information Julia S. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s energy level, daily routine, and personality ahead of time. Please let me know if there are any commands, training routines, or behaviors you’d like me to practice with them, along with any special needs or preferences to help keep them comfortable and happy.

A typical day

A typical day caring for a dog includes feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I love focusing on both a dog’s physical and mental health by going on walks, playing games, exploring nature trails, and visiting dog parks when appropriate. I enjoy making sure dogs feel happy, active, and cared for throughout the day.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up taking care of both cats and dogs, including small and large breeds. I currently have a chocolate lab who I walk, feed, and play with every day. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and cats, and I understand the extra patience, attention, and care they may need. I love cats and am comfortable feeding them, changing litter, playing with them, and giving them lots of attention. I’m reliable, caring, and truly enjoy being around animals!

Julia was wonderful with our dogs, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was incredibly patient, quickly bonded with them, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets. We highly recommend Julia and would gladly have her care for our dogs again! Shannon

Julia is very kind, responsible and a hard worker. She loves animals and they love her. Caring for animals is the perfect job for her. I would 100% recommend her for dog walking or pet sitting.

I've known Julia all her life. When dealing with her pets, she has demonstrated responsibility when caring for them including feeding, playing with, walking, and cleaning up after them. You can put your trust in her to help with your pets.
