Personalized Pet Services for your Precious Paws

Welcome to Precious Paws

Hey there! I'm Julia, and I’ve been fortunate enough to turn my lifelong love for animals into a career I’m truly passionate about. With over eight years of professional pet care experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with all kinds of animals—big, small, furry, and scaly. But my journey with animals started long before that. My first dog actually joined our family just before I was born, so you could say I was destined to be an animal lover!

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Therapeutic Horsemanship from SUNY Cobleskill, where I had the privilege of studying under Dr. Stephen Mackenzie. My background in therapeutic horsemanship has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior and care, which I bring into everything I do. I’m also certified in pet first aid and CPR, and I’m currently working on earning my professional dog training certification.

Whether it’s taking a dog for a hike, caring for barn animals, or just spending time with your pets while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your furry (or feathery, or scaly) friends!

Dog Hiking

Give your dog the adventure they crave with an invigorating hike! Designed to be both mentally and physically stimulating, the hikes are tailored to your dog’s needs and energy level. Whether it’s a 30-minute leisurely walk through the woods, a 60-minute trek exploring new trails, or an extended adventure, your pup will return happy, tired, and ready for some well-deserved rest. Let’s hit the trail and make some tails wag!
Starting at $35
Drop-in Services

Need a quick check-in for your pet while you’re out? My 30-minute drop-in service is the perfect solution! Whether your dog needs a midday potty break, your cat craves a little attention, or your reptile just needs a check on their habitat, I’ve got it covered. I’ll pop by, give them some love, freshen up their water, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable—so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet’s in great hands, even when you’re away!
Starting at $25
Barn Sitting

Leave your barn and its residents in expert hands while you’re away! Whether it's chickens, horses, goats, pigs, or any of your barnyard friends, we’re here to make sure they’re well-fed, comfortable, and happy. From mucking stalls to collecting eggs, I'll handle it all with the same care and attention you would give. Relax knowing your barn and animals are in caring, experienced hands until you’re back!

Overnight Sitting

When you’re away, there’s nothing like the comfort of home for your pets—and that’s where I come in! My overnight pet sitting service means your furry (or scaly) family members get to stay in their own familiar surroundings while receiving love and attention. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, a bedtime routine, or just having someone there through the night, we’ll be by their side to ensure they feel safe, loved, and totally at ease until you return. Sleep easy knowing your pets are in caring, experienced hands!
Starting at $70/per night
Enrichment Services

Keep your pet’s mind sharp and their tail wagging with our exciting enrichment sessions! I use mental stimulation activities like treat sniffing games, snuffle mats, and energizing hikes to engage your pet's senses and challenge their brain. Whether it’s a clever pup or a curious kitty, I tailor each session to suit their interests and needs, making sure they stay entertained, happy, and mentally stimulated. Let’s turn playtime into a brain-boosting adventure your pet will love!
