Hi there :) My name is Julia, I'm 31, and I'm a big animal lover!
I have had animals in my life since I was very young, and my interest in training them (as well as caring for them) has greatly increased over the years. I have experience in looking after dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and horses. I have a particular interest in training dogs both in behaviour and agility. I have a good understanding in reading an animal’s body language and knowing how to respond to it, whether in the home or out on a walk.
I currently don't have a pet of my own but I do have a family dog which I helped train from a puppy who I often visit (the border collie in the photos).
I offer home visits, pet sitting, and dog walks (which can range from 30-60mins, dependant on the dog's needs). I am a very active person and enjoy walks in the countryside - you can be sure that your dog will have a lovely walk :) I also have experience in looking after unwell animals and giving medications, and I spent a week in a veterinary surgery for work experience.
I really enjoy looking after other people’s pets - it’s a privilege and a joy, and I treat them just as I would treat my own; with a lot of love, care, and respect. I understand the concern you may feel about being away from your beloved pets, so I'll be more than happy to send you photos and updates on how they're getting on.
I am based in the Meadowbank area of Edinburgh and at the moment can only take bookings nearby (within a 2 mile range) unless it's a house sit, so please only contact me if you stay nearby.
(Please note, there is a 19% Pawshake charge that is taken off my fee for every booking - I have included this in the pay rates).
If you have any questions please do get in touch!
Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope that I will hear from you and meet your lovely pets soon :)
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Would highly recommend Julia, our dogs seemed very happy when we returned home.
Julia takes great care of our cats and kindly sends pictures of what they're up to while we're away!
