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!!!😊
Details: 1 pet • Dog • 8 - 14 days • Feeding • Baths

Could not recommend Julia more to anyone out there looking for a cat or pet sitter!! I have used her several times now, from week long trips to just a long weekend away and she is always willing and able to help out when I’ve needed her! She is extremely friendly and wonderful to work with, and even sends you photos of your pets upon each visit so you know they are doing okay in your absence! 😸 she even sticks around for awhile and makes sure to play with your pet so they feel a bit of stimulation during your time away! I could not recommend her more if you need a pet sitter! You will not be disappointed!

Julia watched my two beagles while I went on a weekend vacation. I dropped them off at her house. Her home is well taken care of (I wanted her to be my interior designer) and her dog Kia got along so well with my Beagles! She sent me so many cute photos of my dogs and they looked SO relaxed and happy. I could tell immediately she is an animal person! I would highly recommend using Julia as a pet sitter - I will definitely be using her again in the near future as I finally don’t feel ~as~ bad leaving my pets at home while on vacation!
