Every Pet Deserves Great Care
Not every pet care provider looks after the smaller and more unusual members of the family, but Julia genuinely loves all animals. Whether you have rabbits in the garden, a bearded dragon in the living room, tropical fish that need their daily feed, or guinea pigs who squeak the moment they hear a fridge door, Boonies Paws has you covered. Julia provides home visits for all types of pets, so your animals stay in their own environment where they feel safe and settled.
When you go away, finding someone you trust with an exotic or small pet can be tricky. Friends and family often aren't confident handling reptiles or knowing the details of a specific feeding routine. Julia takes the time to learn exactly what each pet needs before you leave. She'll follow your instructions to the letter — from the right temperature settings for a vivarium to the correct portion of pellets for your rabbits — and she's always happy to ask questions rather than guess.
Julia will visit your home once or twice a day, depending on your pet's needs. During each visit, she'll handle feeding, fresh water, spot cleaning of enclosures or hutches, and check that your pets are healthy and behaving normally. If anything seems off, she'll let you know straight away. She treats every animal with the same patience and care she would give her own, and she understands that these pets are just as much a part of the family as any dog or cat.
Boonies Paws is fully insured and Julia is police checked, so you can relax knowing your home and pets are in safe hands.
