About: My name is Julia and I am 22 years old, I work part-time at a pet store and have a very flexible schedule, so I have a lot of free time! I'm also in school currently for Wildlife Management and Conservation! I have 2 guinea pigs named Mocha and Maple, they're both a little over a year, so I am open to pet sitting any exotic babies if needed as well! I currently work part-time, but I am available every day except for Sundays unless it's after 6! I would be happy to discuss what would work best for you! My schedule may change around a bit because of school, but it has been pretty consistent the past few months, so it wouldn't be too much of a change!

They're very helpful for me to remember everything, and it can also help give you a peace of mind as well. I care for them like they're my own!
About: Back in 2022 I had one girl ask if I can watch her dog and I told her of course I love dogs and then after that I had so many more people asked me after I told them that I watch dogs and cats and ever since then I absolutely loved what I did. Seeing different types of pets with different personalities made me love it more. So I work throughout the week and I wanted to start only on the weekends first just to get myself through the door but maybe in the future I can make this a full time job Mostly a lot of the animals I took care of I got to be apart of there homes all of them so I got to stay over take care of them play with them take them on long walks feed them and just show them lots and lots of love and attention cause that’s what they need. Every animal is different so whatever the client tells me I will follow instructions through and I love to send lots of pictures of there animals to clients to let them know they are safe and in good hands

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
