Hi my name is Julia Tinker. I grew up in Western Loudoun County and moved to Winchester City in October 2021. I have been pet sitting informally for the past 30 years. My animal magnetism and love for animals became apparent at a very young age. Growing up in the country I had a menagerie of animals ranging from cats and dogs to llamas. I was their caretaker, vet and mommy. I began doing odd pet sitting jobs for friends and neighbors when I was old enough to ride my bike to the far end of the village where I lived. In middle school, I began volunteering with the Loudoun 4-H Therapeutic Handicapped Riding Foundation. In 2000, I was Junior Leader of the 4-H Loudoun Llama Lovers Club.

With a lifelong passion for helping people, a love for animals and the desire to own my own business I decided that I would put my passion for people and my love for animals together and start my own pet sitting business. With much research and thought I began a professional pet sitting business in 2009. I am anxious to put my animal magnetism to work for you and am ready and able to pet sit for you and your beloved pets.

I am a member of Pet Sitters International, National Capital Area Pet Sitters Network, Pet Sitters Association and Professional United Pet Sitters. In February 2009, I completed the in-depth Certified Professional Pet Sitters Certification Program through Pet Sitters International.
