35+ years of loving pet care

Pet care experience

I am Julie, I grew up on a horse ranch in Tucson and my mother was a top AKC Breeder of champion samoyeds. I was taught basic vet care, grooming, handling and safety of dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, horses, goats, rodents and snakes and have vast experience with all from a very young age. My first job was grooming dogs for professional handlers at AKC dog shows. I love animals more than anything and they are my first priority while house sitting. I make sure they are comfortable and feel safe and cared for. I am extremely reliable and have a vast list of references as well as a Bachelor and Masters degree and several other skills including plant care and premed school. Thank you!

Julie was awesome. She was very responsive and kept us informed during her stay with our sweet girl.

Julie has house and pet sit for me several times in the last few years in Tucson. She has always been great: responsible, thorough, clean and respectful of my pet, and my house and everything in it. I give her the highest recommendation.

Julie R. housesat for me, taking care of my cat on two separate occasions, both long trips of one month plus. She took excellent care of my cat, and my house – everything was calm and clean when I returned. We communicated easily; she touched base with me about once a week even if only to say everything was fine. My plants were healthy, too – always a sign of the quality of a housesitter! Julie cares a lot about animals, and when my cat was showing signs of distress on this last trip, Julie alerted me and received my permission to alter my cat’s food – i.e, Julie was proactive in trying to solve the problem. Neither of us realized that my cat was actually beginning a dying process – only in hindsight a month later, when my cat passed, was it clear – but her distress at seeing my cat suffering was very moving. I highly recommend Julie!

Julie R. was our tenant. She often took care of our animals - (one dog, one cat, and six goats). She is a wonderful person and a fantastic animal sitter. Would recommend her to anyone looking for an animal caretaker.

Information Julie R. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs as long as they don't bite, I have cared for all types of breeds and love them all! I would like to know the hours they like to wake and times they need to be let out and fed as well as times and dosages of medications or any medical problems they may have. I am very good at treating animals for illnesses, this is my specialty! I also love old dogs, I find them very charming and sweet and I have a lot of patience for them! This pertains to dogs as well as any other species of animals!

A typical day

I love to hike in the mountains and on the beach, but also like to just stroll down the street if that is what the owner prefers. I am very flexible with this. I also like to do obedience training and work with the dogs if the owner prefers this as well. I have years of experience with both confirmation and obedience training and showing. I know some agility as well, so if you have the equipment, i can work with the dogs!
