About: I have hands-on experience caring for senior dogs, energetic puppies, cats, fish, and bunnies. What sets me apart is my patience and genuine love for animals of all ages and needs. I’m comfortable with special care routines for seniors, basic puppy training, giving baths, administering simple medications, and keeping pets active and happy with plenty of playtime and walks. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — I love spending time with animals every day, whether it’s going for walks, playtime in the yard, or quiet cuddle time. I plan my schedule around giving pets the attention they need and deserve. I’m flexible and reliable, so I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s routine, whether that means early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feedings. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like a task — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, their safety and comfort always come first. I make sure the space is clean, secure, and free of anything that could be harmful. I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I build trust by giving pets lots of attention, keeping them calm and happy, and updating you regularly with photos and messages so you know they’re safe and loved. Whether I’m staying at your home or welcoming pets into mine, I treat them like my own — with care, patience, and a cozy environment where they can relax and feel at home.

“I highly recommend Julieta. I was out of town for 3 days and it was my first time to use drop in visits. My dog was well taken care of by her and she sent me pictures of my dog which gave me a huge relief. I definitely will let her take care of my dog when I’m gone next time.”

About: I am a pet owner myself and have a passion for animals and their well being. I have had a variety of dogs, cats, fish, and rodents my whole life and a lot of experience on how to care for them. I am comfortable walking, playing, feeding, taking care of disabled/elderly dogs and grooming your pets. One of my hobbies is hanging out with my dog, throwing the ball with her, taking her on hikes, bike rides, and swimming at the lake. I will be more than happy to do the same with yours if that is what they enjoy! I am a reliable, energetic, trustworthy, honest, and calm individual. I have plenty of extra time to spend caring for your pets. Please feel free to ask any other questions you may have about myself or my availability. I am looking forward to making new furry friends. :)
“Sarah did such a wonderful job with my cats. I realized how much they loved her when I saw them sitting at the front door waiting for when they thought it was her coming in. She followed my directions to a T and made sure I came home to a clean house which was much appreciated!”
