Caring and reliable pet sitter ♥️
Pet care experience
Hello there! My name is Julia. I have always had animals and I have also been pet sitting the past 10 years. I know how nerve racking it is to leave your precious furry family member with someone new! I have a cat and dog of my own and they are my world. Thankfully, they stay with my family when I pet sit (which they love). I know how important it is to find a good person to care for your pet. During my stay you can expect me to take care of feedings, replenish water, and administer any medications. I give them lots of affection, positive reinforcement and love! My goal is to make your pet feel like they are on a fun staycation with a new friend. I’m also vigilant about safety and security. For dogs I give them two walks a day. I have experience with all types of dogs and trained with basic dog training/handling. For cats I give them lots of pets, play with them and clean the litter box daily. In terms of house sitting I’m happy to take in mail and water plants. This should go without saying but I make sure to clean up after myself and keep things clean. I will respect your space. I have a job that I’ve started and my shifts range from 4-8 hrs so I will be gone for that time during the days I have work. Basically, I love animals. I love meeting new furry friends and I take this job seriously. While having lots of fun!!
Reviews
Julia provided excellent care for both my dog and cat for two nights! Took the dog to the dog park, and played/engaged with both animals. Sent me photos!
Julia is so amazing with animals of all shapes and sizes. She truly has a knack for pets and is trustworthy and so kind as well!
We have had Julia watch our dogs three times and we are so happy with how much love and attention she gives them. They are always happy and content when we return. She is so responsible and diligent, we feel safe knowing she will be there to take care of their special diet, and eating arrangements. Julia is very knowledgeable about dogs and even had a thoughtful recommendation for my dogs chin rash that helped clear up his itchy skin. She is very easy to work with and always follows through. Our dogs are big Pit-bull-mutts and where other people may be intimidated by our pack (of four!) she is confident and kind. It takes a big heart to care so deeply for animals, and her heart is the biggest. :)

Safety, trust & environment
When I take care of your animal I am extra careful about safety and security. Always making sure doors and exits are shut and locked, being mindful if there is a pool in the backyard, cleaning up after any mess I make… wiping down counters and sweeping up crumbs. I also am very careful to administer the right food and any medications or special needs they may have. When we are just hanging out I give them lots attention, praise, play and snuggles.
Information Julia S. would like to know about your pet
In terms of walks and outings… I would need to know if your dog is good with other dogs in case we pass by a dog on our walk. I would like to know if they will bark or pull in another dogs direction. Also if they are reactive/aggressive towards other dogs. It’s okay if they are these things, I just need to know so I am prepared on our walk. I also would need to know if your dog is aggressive reactive or fearful towards people. Unfortunately, I am not available for dogs who are sensitive towards people. I also would need to know if your dog tends to resource guard food. And overall, any information that is relevant towards your pets behavior, special tricks to feedings or specific commands you use. For cats…any heads up if they hide, don’t like to be touched, particular about their food or anything else you can think of. Also any important to know about your house, property, doors, shower etc anything relevant.
A typical day
For cats, I like to bring some toys and play with them. I also give them lots of pets and attention. In terms of dogs, during walks in the neighborhood I give them plenty of time to sniff. I like talking to the dogs as we go on and encouraging them along the way. If your dog is good in a car, I would love to bring them to a close by park or walking trail!
