Julia

Hello, my name is Julia and I'd love to help care for your pet whilst you're away in what ever capacity they may require. I'm an artist that creates kinetic sculptures and animated work. I spend most of my time working on my practice and portfolio in my studio in Coburg which, as it's on my own terms and times, can be flexible to accommodate all sorts of pet schedules and requirements. I also work in an art store a few days a week which is the only extended period of time I'd ever leave your precious pet.

I have been abodeless and pet sitting successfully for the last six months and still love it. Its incredibly rewarding to gain the trust of your pet over the course of the pet sit. I've cared for dogs: Border-collie; Staffy X; Labrador Kelpie X; pugs; cavalier and cats: anxious; curious and adventurous; kittens and wiser in years. I love getting to see each of their indivual quirks and personalities and learn much from them as I go.

Being a local has its perks. If you're looking for a regular familiar face for your pet to feel safe and structured with I will admit i enjoy returning. Especially important for any anxious pet to minimise the upset of your absence. Also, having a base with my studio and established friendships in Melbourne I can lean on inbetween pets means you can feel rest assured I'm only there as long as you need me.
