About

Hi, I’m Jules, the founder of Redwoods and Waves. I have over seven years of experience as a counselor in San Francisco, along with many years as a pet sitter and dog walker. I’ve always loved understanding and helping both people and animals, learning their unique pasts, behaviors, personalities, and routines, and how they adapt, what makes them feel comfortable, and what helps them thrive in the present. Over time, I noticed dogs experience the same benefits of nature as humans, which inspired me to start the group hikes. I now have openings for Tuesday and Thursday, and will be buckling a mix of large and small doggies in my Subaru Crosstrek and taking them to the redwoods or by the bay.

Currently, I’m in school and on the path to becoming a therapist. My counseling background shapes how I show up with animals in a patient, observant, and respectful way, which is especially important when caring for pets who cannot tell us what they need in words.

Whether it is a check-in at home or a scenic hike through the redwoods, I make sure your pet feels happy, engaged, and well cared for. I am also a longtime artist and love sending thoughtful, cute photos of your pets while you are away.
