Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure animals are kept safely inside when I come and go. Leashes are a must if fences aren't provided. When walking I am always on the lookout for "triggers" and do my best to avoid a stressful situation for my clients.

Information Julie S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there are any behavioral or health issues. It goes a long way into understanding a pet's personality. I also like to know how many treats they can have while I visit.

A typical day

I like hide treats for cats to hunt around the house after I leave. As for dogs I try to let them sniff as much as they want. It is important not to rush them.

Pet care experience

I treat other's pets like they are my own! I have an indoor cat and am very particular about her care. Your pets wouldn't be any different. I will do other duties as asked like water plants, fill bird feeders, bring in mail etc. I house/pet sat a lot during college. I got out of it because of a full time job and household responsibilities. After many years in the work grind I have decided to slow things down a little bit and do things that I enjoy. I enjoy being around animals. My routine for pet care is food, bathroom break, play. Lots of play. I am very straight forward in my communication and will ask questions if things aren't clear to me.

Julie was very thorough and did a great job with Ronan and learning all his quirky habits. She definitely understands cats well and I would use her again and recommend her!

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.
