Pasadena Pet Sitters

I wanted to hire Julie to watch my two cats over Christmas because of her good Unilocal reviews so at the beginning of December, I sent her an email inquiring about holiday availability. Never heard back, so I sent another one three days later, this time through the contact form on her website. No response. By that point, I’d waited a week for a reply and it wasn’t worth it to me to pursue her by phone. I started contacting other local pet sitters and ended up hiring someone else who also had good reviews and actually emailed me back (super promptly) after my initial inquiry. I wanted to give this place a shot and I’m sure Julie is a great sitter… But from my non-​encounter with her, it seems like she lacks professionalism when it comes to following up with potential clients.

She has watched our cats a few times we have left town and always does a great job. She is really fast to respond and the cats are always well taken care of. Would absolutely recommend.

Julie is a fantastic pet-​sitter! I have called her a few times in the past couple of months every time I would go on a long trip. She is reliable, flexible, and will work with you with your & your pet’s needs. My cat is afraid of everything, but he seems to get along great with Julie. I worry sometimes with my cat home alone, but she replies to emails pretty fast with updates. She also makes sure that she leaves your home clean. I thought it was incredibly considerate of her to throw my cat’s litter outside, even if I didn’t mind her just throwing it in the trash can inside the apartment, so I always come home to a very clean, odorless room/​litter box. Highly recommended!

I have used Pasadena Pet Sitters twice while being out of town and both times were excellent! Julie is a wonderful person who happens to be great with my cats and really takes the time to care for them as I would. There is a consult beforehand so everyone is on the same page and any special requests can be discussed. I have received simple email updates during my trips (if requested) and Julie is always very responsive. A nice personal touch in business is always appreciated and the personal notes she leaves on the last day with how everything went is awesome! It’s such a blessing to have someone I trust to watch my pets and place when needed.
Don’t hesitate to contact Julie at PPS, you won’t regret it!

I will be calling Julie again! I have a friend who always cares for my cats when I’m out of town. She wasn’t available so I went on Unilocal and found PPS. The consult was easy and she proved to be a ‘cat whisper’ so I was at ease. And received a text with a picture during my trip. Julie was wonderful and thoughtful, leaving a little note about how they were while I was absent. Highly recommend!

Thank you, Unilocalers, for helping us find Julie! She is the absolute best! She helps us take care of our cute little rescue dog, whom we adopted in May, and who is now a member of our family. She comes every day when we are at work and school, takes him out for a walk, makes sure he is well cared for. Our dog loves her, and so do we! Very reasonable, very flexible, reliable and trustworthy! One cannot ask for a better pet sitter!

We needed to find someone to watch our cats while we went on vacation and we needed someone we could trust. Based on all the good reviews on here, we decided to give Julie a call.
Julie was very nice, timely and most importantly, she cares about all animals! She even sent us a message during our vacation to let us know how everything was going. When we got home, we found a lovely note telling us about her visits and how each day went.
I’m so glad we went with Julie! We will definitely call her again next time we need a pet sitter!

I usually have one of my friends take care of my cats when I go away but for long trips, I don’t like asking them for too much so I went in search of someone local and professional to cat sit. I’m so glad that I found Julie at Pasadena Pet Sitters!
Julie got back to me right away and scheduled a consult so that she knew how to get into the apartment and find the cat food and litter.
While we were gone, our front office gave Julie a hard time about getting our apartment key but she handled it well and our cats were taken care of. She even checked the mail while we were away.
After we got back, we found a note from Julie about everyday’s visit and how the cats were, what they were doing, who came out to play; it really reflected our cat’s personalities!

I’ve been using Julie since April and she’s just amazing. Crosby (my Basset Hound) absolutely loves her. She’s reliable, flexible, the absolute best prices, and she cares for Crosby as if he were her own. She sends me daily update text messages too. I would recommend her to anyone!

My four-​legged children and I really appreciate the great service Julie provides. My schedule is all over the place at times and Julie has been a dependable resource for getting my kids out for their walks and the occasional need for dinner service. We give her a 2 paws-​up rating!

Julie is freakin’ amazing!
It was Friday and I was getting ready to go across the country for Christmas with the family on Monday. One of my poor cats had to be rushed to the ER that night and unfortunately needed to have some extra attention while I was gone. I contacted Julie last minute and she was at my house the next day to talk with me and meet the cats. She had no problem giving my cat medication and making sure there was food/​water for all of them.
The really nice added thing is she gave me updates throughout the week to let me know the cats were doing fine and the medication was being taken well. She also offered to fetch more medication if needed.
Finding a good sitter can be stressful, but I assure you that Julie is the best in Pasadena. I will be definitely be using her services again for future trips.

My dogs and I LOVE Julie! I have a big English Bulldog and a tiny Maltese. I hate to leave them at any time because like any dog owner, were so attached to them and treat them like our children. We are so glad to have found Julie, and just like all her other Unilocal reviews, we trust that she will care for our dogs as if they were her own. She always updates us by text every day, and even took out our trash with the doggy poo! Best of all, I love coming home to her letter that she leaves on the kitchen table with how the sitting went overall. Its people like her that make taking a chance and trusting others, so worth it. Thank you so much Julie!

I don’t normally write reviews but I have to for Julie. She is the best! My cat is well taken care of when I’m out of town. She feeds her, plays with her and will even clean her litter box and check your mail! Prices are very decent and will text you everyday about the visit and when u come home will leave sweet messages about what your pet did while you were gone. So glad I found her!

Julie is fantastic. She is the perfect combination of professional and warm. When she came to meet our chihuahua she was calm, listened to his (and our) needs, and we could tell he like her instantly. She leaves notes after each visit, which are always fun to read. She is also really flexible and accommodating. I highly recommend her. Rates are reasonable too!

Julie is great! We had her cat-​sit while we were on a long trip out of town. She was attentive, left notes about her visits and our kitty seemed to love her. Five stars all around. We will be forever clients!

Best pet-​sitter ever. Julie is fantastic — professional, prompt, thorough, and really loves animals. Our cat is kind of shy at first, but came out of her shell pretty quickly during our consultation with Julie. I loved receiving the text updates about our cat, as well as a written review when we returned. Highly recommend her for your pets! We feel lucky to have a go-​to we can trust with ours.

Julie was absolutely amazing!
We went away for the weekend and gave her a call on Tuesday for service starting Thursday. Julie did a consult and met our two cats that same day. She took copious notes about everything, obviously where the food and litter was, but even how the cats like to be petted. She was patient and even waited around until the shy cat came out to say hello.
When we were gone, we received text messages every day on how the cats were doing. Julie will even water your plants and check your mail for you!
After we got back, we found a note from Julie about every day’s visit and how the cats were, what they were doing, who came out to play, etc…
Don’t be fooled by her low prices, she is definitely the best pet sitter we’ve ever had.

The other reviews here are all about dogs, so for you cat owners — Julie is just as great with felines! I have three cats with very different personalities and needs, and she did a wonderful job taking care of them while I was out of town last month. She even remembers which toys are preferred by which cat, and sent me detailed emails every day updating me on how they were doing, so I didn’t worry. Plus my house was immaculate when I returned home. I definitely recommend her and plan to use her again.

Julie is great with dogs and other pets. She is reliable and really cares about your pet. She provides total peace of mind.

When I moved to Pasadena from Napa, the thing I was most broken hearted about was having to leave my pet sitter. I have to travel for business, and with her, when I traveled I was never worried about my dogs or cats. I knew she was reliable, that they would get walked, etc.
It took me a year but I finally found Julie at Pasadena Pet Sitters. She is everything the Napa sitter was, and much more. She is always there, on the dime. Even my neighbors comment on this. They get walked, they get talked to, they have company, and predictability. And they really are watched over.
Julie stays in touch with me when I’m away, tells me about what they are up to, silly things they’ve done, etc. — which I love. It makes me feel still connected to them. I’ve never had a pet sitter do this before.
But more than that, I have seen my dogs with her. My dogs don’t just love her. They are IN LOVE with her. They practically do somersaults when they see her walking up the walkway. She comes in and sits down on the floor and they climb all over her, tails wagging so hard they are practically hitting their faces. The look on their faces when she is around tell me everything I need to know.
