Julie’s Pampered Pet

Julie is great — responsible, reliable and caring. Everything you would want in a cat sitter. Highly recommended.

Julie took care of my cats for a week while I was in Ireland. They were happy and the litter clean when I got home. I highly recommend Julie, she is so nice!
Thanks Julie!

«Oh…, you’re back. Well that was quick.»
… our orange cat (seemingly) said as he walked down the stairs to greet the sounds of the opening door. He sniffed us for a second then walked away, unaffected by our return from a week long trip.
Normally when we get back from vacation, our cats are in serious need of immediate affection. Head butts, pitiful meows, and the need to climb up on us, or just plain sulking with eyes that say, «why did you do this to me?» are more common.
Not this time. Our grey cat didn’t even come downstairs. Now that’s a sign that they’ve gotten all the attention and affection they needed while we’re gone. And that is definitely because of Julie. We are serious cat lovers and have found someone who treats our cats even better than we do.
I wish I could give more stars. So do our cats.

You can’t go wrong using Julie. She’s reliable, conscientious, knowledgeable and capable. She’s been sitting for out two cats, now 19 years old, for about seven years. I have never known her not to be available (or have a reliable back-​up) or to fail to show. It’s obvious that this lady loves the animals in her charge. Whenever we come back there’s always a note from her telling us anything that we might need to know or just telling us that everything went well.
A week or so ago, the «welcome home» note pointed out some symptoms that the boys were showing that we should have noted ourselves but hadn’t. As a result they went straight to the vet and are now getting treatment for chronic renal failure. Julie extended their lives and improved the quality of their last months with her note. For that we owe her far more than her fees will ever cover.
I recommend her without reservation.

Our first experience with Julie went very well — from promptly responding to my first inquiry to coming by for a get-​acquainted session to taking care of my two cats over Thanksgiving (often a busy time for pet-​sitters). We especially appreciated her taking on an extra duty at the last minute — we hadn’t asked her to pick up our mail, but then suddenly needed it for an unexpected delivery, and she got it done. We recommend Julie highly!

I wanted to updated my review on Julie’s Pampered Pet Care because we continue to be so pleased with her services. She has been our go to pet sitter and dog walker since we moved to the Bay Area in 2008 and we have had nothing but great experiences. We have left our dogs in her care for vacations, emergency trips home, evenings out on the town, work events, etc. etc.; you name it and Julie is there to provide backup support for us. So, if you’re in the market for a friendly, reliable and trust worthy pet care provider, Julie is the perfect choice.

I have been using Julie as a catsitter since 2004. She is professional, wonderful, and reliable. For longer trips she has taken care of smaller household items for me. I just love knowing that my boys are taken care of while I’m away, and that someone I really trust is watching them.
My cats are getting old and Julie is a wonderful resource on geriatric pets! She is well experienced and very knowledgable. She is well versed on different pet ailments and an expert at administering medicine. She doesn’t even complain about cleaning up after an old, semi-​senile cat.
I highly, highly recommend Julie for your pet care.

i love julie! she’s a sweet lady who obviously loves what she does and it shows. i have 2 asshole wiener dogs, and she wasn’t put off by their assholery. julie will walk your dogs, give them their meds, feed them, give them love, and clean up any mishaps that may occur while you’re out. she will give you updates via text, which i really enjoy. julie also has this great british accent, so it almost seems cute when she tells you that one of your dogs «sprinkled» a wee bit (pun intended) on the floor.

my fiancée and i have depended on julie for several years, our airedale elliott is so incredibly happy to have such a great friend. i also can attribute to all of the wonderful comments i have read posted here, and would add that she has followed us to a couple neighborhoods in the city. it is no exaggeration to say that our pup is exhausted when we get home. julie also has not forgotten elliott for the holidays, his dirty rotten kitty has outlasted many other toys. thanks julie.

Julie has been taking care of Bianca, my cat, for the past 6 years and she’s a GEM! She’s so reliable and so punctual and so trustworthy and so incredibly professional. Not to mention — she’s a super nice person!
As with so many of us animal owners, our pets are like our children and thus, the person who cares for our pets must be the BEST and that is who Julie is.
When I travel, Julie texts me with updates about Bianca. She lets me know how Bianca is doing and how the day went. If my trips get cut short or extend a day — Julie is fine with the changes either way.
I just can’t be more grateful to Julie for taking such good care of Bianca. Without hesitation — I highly recommend Julie.

Julie has been my pet sitter since I moved to San Francisco in 2005 when I found her through Pet Sitters International – where I have found all of my excellent petsitters over the past ten or so years. She is extremely trustworthy, efficient, affable, and professional. She is also one of the most reasonably priced pet sitters in the city. I never worry when my cat is under her care. She’s bailed me out on several occasions when I’ve been my absent-​minded self and called her after I’ve already abandoned the poor kitty alone at home. By far, the best testament to her value is that on the rare occasion I’ve been home when Julie has visited, my 16 year-​old cat has jumped from my lap and run straight to her.
