Pet care experience

I have grown up surrounded by dogs and am incredibly comfortable with them. I have grown up with dogs my entire life and have realized that they are actually the greatest creatures on this earth. They are adorable, playful, loving, and each one has a personality of its own. As a result, I always knew becoming a dog sitter would be an awesome job. I am incredibly passionate about dogs, so it just made sense to become a dog sitter. I love spending time with all different breeds and learning their personalities and quirks. I have had two dogs throughout my life and absolutely love everything about them. Currently, I have a little puppy who definitely like to chew on everything. I have always been the main caretaker of both of these dogs. I owned a cat for most of my life, and loved how she liked to cuddle but also loved to play. I have also had fish my whole life. Since they are koi, I adore how gorgeous they are. I would definitely like to offer care for these animals as well! One word that describes me is dedicated. I am incredibly passionate about dogs and am fully invested in their well-being. I am also very punctual. While I love to sleep in, if I have somewhere to be I always get there on time, or even early. Lastly, I am very outgoing. I am not afraid to reach out to the humans if I have a question or concern about their wonderful dog.

Julia was great! She took perfect care of Lincoln while we were gone over a week. Super easy to work with and very responsible. Definitely someone you can trust to come into your home. We can't wait to use her again.

Julia was great! My dog is very timid and shy but she warmed up to her quickly and had some quality playtime and walk time during my work trip to San Jose. I will definitely use her again :-)

Julia Zimmerman is a true animal lover, especially dogs. She has a comfortable, relaxed way with them but is also stern when needed. She is so patient, and truly lives & enjoys working with dogs.

Julia is great with dogs! She loves being with them as she has a big heart and enjoys the friendship. She would be fantastic walking or caring for your dog.

Information Julia Z. would like to know about your pet

In order to provide excellent customer service, it is crucial to communicate effectively. If the human clients call me, I must respond within a timely matter. Also, it is important to keep the human clients in the loop. If something significant happens or I simply got an adorable picture of your pup, it is important to give that information to the humans so they can be at peace knowing their dog is safe. My only policy is that I would have the opportunity to play with the dog a little in order to get a feel for their personality. I honestly haven't met a dog that I didn’t like, but it is still vital to understand how they act and play, so I can be prepared. For us to become fast friends, I would spend a lot of initial time playing with him and giving him nonstop attention. This will ensure that he feels comfortable with me quickly.

A typical day

We’ll begin the day with the most important meal of the day — breakfast. After that, we would go for a walk before it gets too hot outside. Then, we would cool down inside and just relax. If she needs to be fed lunch, then I would do that. At some point, I might have to leave for work, but I wouldn't be gone for too long. In the afternoon, we’d play in the backyard and get some more fun exercise in. Then we would eat dinner and watch TV before heading to bed. If it is okay with pup’s parents, I absolutely love going to the dog beach. It is a great way for dogs to socialize while also having the ability to be on their own and enjoy the California sun — and of course I would bathe them afterwards. Also, I live on a hill, so there are some awesome hikes that are quick and easy. After having a blast wherever we go, I would love to treat your pup to a puppachino so we can each have a sweet snack.
