Highlights
Pet care experience
cat and dog sitter available!
As a kid, I took responsibility for training my family's golden retriever puppy, using a clicker and treats. We frequently played fetch and tug of war in our yard. After his passing, my family adopted our current 120-pound Bernese Mountain Dog. He was trained by his previous owners, but I taught him the boundaries of our yard, to avoid the need for an invisible fence, and taught him a few new tricks. I quickly learned how to handle this beast on a leash and enjoy hiking with him on local trails or taking him to the dog park. I also have experience bathing him at Tractor Supply and implementing a special diet and daily vitamins to help his health and bone strength.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Julianna was very professional, communicated well, and took great care of our boys!
Excellent service!! Was in constant communication and took lots of pics. Would hire again in a second
Julianna was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bruno. No small feat as he's a 90 lb. lab. After our initial meet and greet, we knew she would work out. She's pleasant, kind and all about the dog!
Julianna was a rock star pet sitter for our family while we travelled out of town for a week. She was on top of the needs of our dog and kitties and kept us connected with adorable photos. Our Newfie will surely miss seeing her new friend every day now that we’re home!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am a full-time student at the University of Pittsburgh with a part-time job. My days are busy, but my evenings after 6 pm are open Monday-Thursday. Friday- Sunday, I am available all day. I can stay overnight, do drop-ins, or evening walks. I typically rely on the bus, but have access to a car if needed.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
I will ensure that I maintain your dog's typical feeding schedule and diet, using alarms and written instructions. I am also responsible for providing the necessary medications. I will check their water dish throughout the day, and if you have a cat, check the litter box at least once a day- more if you advise. I can walk after breakfast and after dinner. I try to find the coolest part of the day when it is warm. I keep a very clean house when sitting, and will ensure I leave your home cleaner than I found it.
Pets
A typical day
I would be thrilled to take your dog on a long walk with plenty of sniff breaks! I enjoy fetch and tug of war, too, or lounging and cuddling! If your dog is social, I would love to take them to a park or the dog bar in the Strip District. I do not have my own car, but I have a partner with a Nissan Altima if needed.
