Pet care experience
Fur mama to a poodle, besties with my bf’s cat, and a proud fur auntie to many! I see myself as that one cool aunt that shows you a good time and let’s you stay up late to play a little longer, but for pets 😎 But with great fun also comes great responsibility and I work very hard to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy so you can travel or work in peace. A little about me: I’m a 35 y.o creative professional that freelances in social media, graphic design, and occasionally hosts markets/events in Houston. I have an anxious toy poodle that was abandoned by his original owner and a very vocal & affection-hungry cat that I help my bf take care of. Several of my friends/family have asked me to watch their pets & homes for a while now so I am excited to share the love and my petsitting magic with more pet owners of Houston! With every client, I strive to be the type of sitter you’ll want to rave to your friends/family about and your pet adores (or maybe just tolerates if they’re a cat). Get a peek of what it’s like to book with me and check out the cute memories and funny memes I make with my animal pals on Instagram: @onlypaws.jpg Clients who book me to housesit for 2+ nights or 5+ walks/drop-ins get a complimentary personalized pawty favor from me 🥳🎨🖌️
Reviews
Julie was great!. She communicated great. The IG stories were really fun to see and showed how my cat warmed up to her and was enjoying (not easy). She stimulated him plenty during the visit which I feel like most others don’t do as much. I definitely plan to use her again.
This was our first time using Rover and had a great experience with Julie! She was very professional from beginning to end. We loved getting all the photos and notes with each of her visits and were so happy our cat, Jack, got to stay at home while we were gone. We’d definitely use Julie’s services again!
Julie is the BEST!!!!! So grateful to have her to take care of my little guy.
Julie is seriously the best! Her check ins are so thorough with my Stevie, and she always goes above & beyond to make sure my house is taken care of as well! (I always come home to a full brita filter :) This is my third time rebooking. She’s my go to!
About Julie N.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For all my clients, I send a pretty lengthy questionnaire before having the pets in my care. This includes questions about the pet’s average day, bathroom habits, allergies, triggers, hiding spots, and likes/dislikes. The more I know, the better! I know your pet has a certain routine they are used to so I try my best not to disrupt that. I prefer in-person Meet & Greets so that we can discuss the expectations we have for each other and your pet can get familiar with me of course. It’s important I know of your pet’s history of aggression, anxiety or bad habits so that we can prepare and have the appropriate plan in action for potential incidents. This is for everyone’s safety and sanity. Tell me everything! I want to be prepared for it all. Despite all the different needs and personalities of my fur clients, I treat all animals under my supervision with as much love & care as I treat my own. I know it can be anxiety-inducing to trust someone with your pets and in your home so I am very prompt about communication. I send detailed & consistent updates of your pets with a surplus of (✨the best✨) pictures/videos every morning and night. Plus, my petsitting IG (@onlypaws.jpg) has frequent updates of your pets throughout the day that you can check at your leisure. *Note for clients wanting to book evening walks* For my own safety, I do not offer walks in the evening time past sunset (7pm).
Information Julie N. would like to know about your pet
What is their daily schedule like? What time do they wake up? What are their feeding times? How do they get along with other dogs or small children? Do they ever bite/nip? What types of things are triggering for them? What are their favorite treats? Favorite toy? Do they have certain hiding spots? And most importantly…What’s their zodiac sign? (Jk)
A typical day
If it’s not too hot outside, we’d go on a fun stroll around the Menil or Levy Park. If they like people and car rides, I’ll drive them (with the window down) to a dog-friendly place with shaded outside seating and let them hang out with me. If they’re allowed, I’ll order them a puppaccino! After all the fun, we will relax on the couch (if they’re allowed to be on there) and chill while I edit the videos/photos of our adventures to send to you!

Availability
Petsitting is a big part of my life since joining Rover and I’m since still freelancing at the moment, my schedule is pretty flexible. I can accommodate most dates and times because of this. Working remotely = more chill time with your pets 😎
