Pet care experience
I have been a dog-owner for many years to a sweet cavalier mix named Stella. I have loved training her, walking her, and making sure she lives a healthy, happy life. My love of dogs led me to volunteer for the Richmond SPCA for about 2 years, doing things such as dog walking and working adoption events, helping dogs find their home. I also volunteered for a week at Houlagan's Rest dog shelter. There, I helped build safe and spacious homes for their many rescues as well as helped socialize them so that they may find a loving home. I was touched to find out that the dog I was working with, Bob, was adopted shortly after. I also have plenty of experience in dog sitting puppies, elderly dogs, and ages in-between. No matter if your dog is timid or hyper, I will ensure that they have the safest, best experience possible getting the care that they need.
Reviews
Julia took care of our 3 dogs while we were on vacation for a week; housesitting and dog sitting . She did a great job with them and also took great care of our home while we were away. Thank you Julia !
Julia is an amazing dog sitter. She has watched my dog, Colby, a countless amount of times and has done a superb job every time. She goes above and beyond in everything she does. Julia would send us pictures of Colby and take her on frequent walks/ play ball with her in the backyard. With most pet sitters, we would come home and feel like Colby was frazzled and upset that we were gone; but not Julia, she does an amazing job watching Colby, and Colby has an awesome time with her. Now, every time Colby sees Julia, she jumps for joy!! Julia is so awesome and will make your dog feel right at home when you are gone! In addition, to pet sitting Colby, Julia also attended a puppy training session with Colby. She did an amazing job and was so helpful in this session. She helped Colby remain calm when surrounded by other dogs, and helped to teach her simple dog commands, like sit etc. Julia is awesome!! She is the best dog sitter ever!

Safety, trust & environment
I ensure the safety of pets in their home by maintaining the accessibility of fresh water, keeping people food or anything dangerous out of reach, and making sure fences are closed and doors are locked. I also make sure to keep the space free from any triggers, if applicable.
Information Julia T. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to work with any and all breeds! Does your dog have any triggers I should look out for? Do they take any medications or have any conditions to be aware of?
A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks around their neighborhoods or the local park, play with them with their favorite toys, and give them plenty of love and attention.
