About

For as long as I can remember, animals, especially dogs, have been my greatest joy. That love inspired me to start Paws First Pet Care, where my goal is to treat every pet like my own. I offer dog boarding, overnight sitting in clients’ homes, and dog walking, making sure your pets get the comfort, care, and attention they deserve, whether they’re at my home or in yours. I also care for cats, chickens, and other animals, so no family member is left out! With 5+ years of experience, I’m fully insured, bonded, and pet CPR certified, so you can feel confident your pets are in safe, loving hands. At Paws First Pet Care, your pets always come first🩷

Julia was SO accommodating. I am moving to the area and needed a dog sitter on short notice, and she was willing to get me out of a bind same-day. Her whole family is lovely and all took to taking care of my buddy immediately, and made me certain he'll be well-cared for. They even invited me to dinner! You could get worse care for your pets but I'm not sure you can get better. Julia and her family will take care of them as if they were their own.

Julia is a very kind and capable pet sitter who genuinely loves animals. My dogs and cat were very happy while I was away! She is professional and prompt when communicating which makes working with her easy and pleasant. I will definitely ask her to sit again.

Julia provided exceptional care for our chocolate lab, Rufus, during our vacation. As this was our first time boarding him, meeting Julia offered great reassurance that he would be well looked after. Her services are highly recommended for both vacation stays, and/or day play sessions. Your dog will return happy and in good health. We will certainly be utilizing Julia's services again for Rufus. Thank you, Julia!!!😊
