I've been doing full time pet care for about a year now, and I finally understand the phrase, "when you love what you do, you won't work a day." This has been an amazing experience and I'm so grateful for the opportunities! I also have a part time job 4 nights a week from 9pm to 12, but I can adjust the hours a little if need be.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always care for your pup or cat as I do my own! Lots of love and positive reinforcement, and a little redirection if needed. My babies are my whole world but I still have love to share with yours!

Information Julie F. would like to know about your pet

For anyone booking my house sitting services, I will request a meet and greet to go over the finer details. I will do drop ins and walks on short notice and would love to help you if you're in a pickle.

A typical day

I have a huge passion for being outside in nature and I think there is no better companion for that, than a dog! Daily walks are a must, and even a field trip or 2 if mom and dad approve.

Providing peace of mind pet care

Pet care experience

I have been caring for animals since I found a flea and tick infested, emaciated doggo when I was 10. She gave me 19 years of absolute bliss and saved me in more ways than I saved her. I have experience with pups of all ages and size. My current pup is 100 lbs, I'm not a stranger to a dog with some strength behind them. I also have experience with reactive or reserved dogs and don't shy away from helping you, help them! I tend to do quite well making friends with shy guys that are nervous around strangers. I have personal experience with animals other than dogs and cats, including chickens, ducks, rabbits, birds, hamsters, snakes, turtles, and a variety of lizards. I will happily accommodate care for any of your pets as needed! (I am allergic to guinea pigs, I can care for them but I cannot love on them unfortunately)

Julie provided thorough updates and took great care of our kitties overall while we were away for a long weekend. We are very satisfied with her service.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
