“We are so thankful we found Juli on Rover. We especially appreciate her daily updates about our pups when we boarded them with her for the first time for 5 days. Lots of outdoor time for them as well as some cozy lounging time indoors. She genuinely learns about their personalities and adjusts to their needs. Thank you Juli for treating our fur babies so kindly. They’ll be back!”

“Tobi is great with dogs! We left our two miniature pups with her for 3 days and she sent pics daily. She also kept me in the loop of their quirks and activities. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my babies. I'm definitely leaving them with Tobi the next time we travel. I highly recommend her!”
