About me

A young woman with long dark hair sitting indoors, resting her hand on her head, looking at the camera with a gentle expression.

My name is Julia, and I will take care of your pets as if they were my own! I have a border collie named Leo that I’ve raised and trained since he was an 8 week old puppy, and I now exercise with him every day. As a second time dog owner, I’m comfortable with pets of any size, personality, and exercise level. I’m very passionate about animal care, and animals just seem to like me.

I’m currently working from home on my other business, so I can be flexible and available most days and nights. I grew up and still live in PV, so I know the area very well and can be available in a pinch. Growing up, I did ballet at PV Ballet and went to Peninsula High!

I know how to handle leashes, can crate train, and will be communicative throughout the care experience. I am great with reading dog body language and understand what they need from me. Your pet will always get one-on-one care, meaning that I never do group walks with unfamiliar dogs.

Walks (dogs only)

Personalized, one-on-one strolls tailored to your dog’s pace, personality, and routine. Whether it's a quick energy burn or a slow sniffari, your pup gets my full attention.

Day Sitting

Need someone to stay with your pup while you’re out for a brunch, appointment, or afternoon away? Day sitting is ideal for dogs who need a little extra company during the day — whether they’re recovering, anxious, or just love having a human around.

Overnight Sitting

Your pet stays in the comfort of their own home, and I stay with them overnight to maintain their routine, offer companionship, and provide a calm, familiar presence. This is a personalized 24-hour care window based on your pet’s specific needs.

What my clients say:

  • A cream-colored, curly-haired dog sitting on a dark-colored rug in front of a rust-colored sofa with a multicolored, striped quilt.

    As owners of a rescue pup with anxiety, we're always mindful about finding someone who makes Bogey feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Julia does all of this, and more. She is always super communicative—sending us updates and pictures throughout the day. Bogey loves Julia, and so do we! We couldn't recommend her enough if you're looking for a patient, caring person to care for your pet. She truly understands the unique needs of each animal and goes above and beyond to ensure they feel loved and secure.

  • A fluffy Pomeranian dog standing on a lush green lawn with hills and trees in the background under a clear blue sky.

    Julia was punctual and able to take care of Bearington’s needs and various vitamins. Every day we received pictures and updates. She even informed us of a leak which we were able to handle right away. She stayed till our flight landed and made sure he went out to the bathroom before leaving. Overall, she did a good job. Thanks Julia!

    Danielle, Rancho Palos Verdes

  • A small, fluffy, tan-colored dog with a curly coat on a walk, standing on a sidewalk next to a grassy area.

    Julia is wonderful! She is so sweet about taking care of our dog Lola. She consistently sends photos and updates throughout the day which is so reassuring and fun to see. We know Lola gets great care when she is here which means so much! Will continue to rebook her whenever we can!

    Gabriel, Torrance

  • A German Shepherd dog on a leash sitting on a paved sidewalk, looking up.

    Julia does an amazing job walking our 80+ lb German Shepherd, which is no cakewalk! Our dog is also aging and doesn’t always want to walk for a whole 30 mins, so Julia very sweetly played fetch with her for the remainder of the appointment. Highly recommend!
