Hi there! My name is Iulia and my husband Alex and I are both working for Tech startups. We have cared for 100+ pups since 2019 and also volunteer at animal shelters. We love to cuddle with them and have extreme patience and give lots of attention, building trust to make them feel comfortable and happy. I will take care of your pet as well as do some obedience training. Our home is like a retreat for dogs - we have puzzles, Kongs, they play with our pups during the day, we go on long walks, at the dog park, hiking, to the beach. We also do obedience training daily so he might learn a trick or two when he comes back home. I have been working with dogs for 20+ years and I love it. I’m also a professional dog trainer and have taught my dog to pass the Canine Good Citizen and the Therapy Dog Certifications as well as other 3 certifications so maybe yours will come back to you knowing some additional tricks to try to impress you. I am also an animal shelter volunteer and frequent Rover pet parent (have been doing it for 6 years). We have taken care of dogs of all sizes and personality - from very energetic, to escape-artists, to very timid and dogs with separation anxiety. Got amazing feedback from their parents who all said their dog was “a changed pet”, “having their own vacation”, “learned and experienced so many new things”. We only take one dog at the time so be sure they will be showered with love and affection! My husband and I have two dogs of our own: a Collie and a Toller - they are our life! And we make them homemade food every day! We also work at home and have a very flexible schedule. We LOVE all animals so be sure your dog will not miss anything and will be showered with love and affection!!
