Pet care experience

Pet Owner and 30+ Dog Foster

I have a lovely older black lab mix named Izzie and have fostered 30+ dogs from puppies to seniors. I am also a frequent volunteer at the Orange County Animal Rescue, a trainer and puppy raiser through Canine Companions (a program training seeing eye dogs), and have assisted with canine psychology research at Duke University. Most of all, I’m an animal lover of all kinds, shapes, and sizes!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

The pet will always be my first priority. I am able to take pets out for as many potty breaks as necessary, sleep in the room with them if they suffer from separation anxiety, and deliver medicine in a timely manner.

House Sitting • Nov. 17, 2025

Julia was amazing with my highly anxious dogs! She really knows how to interact with dogs to put them at ease. She took care of my two dogs and three cats, all of whom need medications. My animals clearly enjoyed their time with her and I would happily hire her again.

I’ve known Julia for years, and I can honestly say she’s one of the most trustworthy and dog-loving people I know. She has tons of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and she’s always incredibly patient, gentle, and responsible. She’s great at reading the needs of dogs and has done amazing work with the Duke Puppy Kindergarten, which really speaks to her skill and dedication. If you’re looking for someone reliable who truly loves animals and knows what she’s doing, I can’t recommend her enough!

I would love to know about your pet’s comfort with strangers, physical affection level, and whether they enjoy tugging on leads or attempting to escape out of doors. If your pet is aggressive or uncomfortable around other animals or certain behaviors, please let me know.
