Pet care is a big part of my daily routine, and I love every moment of it! With plenty of time in my schedule, I make caring for my own large-breed pup a top priority, which means I'm fully prepared to give the same attention and dedication to other pets, too. I enjoy creating a routine that includes plenty of walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. Whether it’s for daily walks or in-home sitting, I’m flexible and ready to provide consistent, loving care whenever it's needed.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are always my top priorities. Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well-cared for. I keep spaces pet-friendly and hazard-free, and I’m careful with their routines and boundaries to make them feel at home. I provide plenty of walks, playtime, and any specialized care they need to stay happy and healthy. Most importantly, I approach every interaction with patience and positivity, so pets and owners alike can trust they're in good hands.

Information Julio C. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know about your dog’s routine, medical needs, favorite toys, and any behavioral quirks — like leash reactivity, separation anxiety, or food guarding. I’m patient and adaptable, but I always want to be prepared so I can make your dog feel safe, understood, and cared for right away.

A typical day

A typical day with your pup includes a nice walk around the neighborhood, a stop to sniff every pole, and some playtime indoors or outside. I like to keep things fun and active but chill — we’ll follow your dog’s vibe, whether that’s fetch in the yard or lounging on the couch after a walk. Every dog is different, and I adjust based on their personality.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with large breeds, along with the care and love I put into every dog’s well-being. As the owner of a 120-pound gentle giant, I understand the unique needs of large dogs, from handling strong leashes to providing plenty of exercise, patience, and affection. I grew up with big dogs, so I’m well-versed in their care, temperaments, and quirks. I treat each dog I sit or walk with the same love and attention I give my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether it's puppies, seniors, or anything in between, I'm here to give them the care they deserve.

Julio was super great with my two pups. He was attentive and provided me with updates, which is super appreciated!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my Bernese puppy Rocco! Julio took amazing care of him while I was away, keeping me updated with photos and messages so I never had to worry. Rocco came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved the time spent with him. It’s not easy finding someone you trust with your pup, but Julio is truly reliable, caring, and great with dogs. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible and attentive pet sitter!
