Your dog is going to love me!
Pet care experience
I love caring for dogs and I'm really very good at it! I do Rover because I love to, not because I have to. This isn't just a way to generate income. I get so much out of hosting dogs. Because being boarded can be stressful for your baby, I know smooth transition and integration into my home is critical. I carefully watch what makes your dog comfortable and trusting of their new temporary home. I don't rush them; they guide me depending on their individual needs. When you leave your baby with me you know you won't have to worry that s/he will be put to the side, ignored or worse, simply kenneled until you pick them up. I brush, cuddle, play and specialize in Pup Naps (please don't tell my wife that Naps HAVE to be in the Human Bed, ok?) While not a dog trainer, I reinforce healthy dog habits and will work with your specific needs. I'm a personal trainer by trade and fit enough to engage active dogs. Run? Sure! Tug-of-War? Ok! Beach romps? Of course! Nap? What, are you kidding me? Heck yeah! I stringently follow your care instructions for your dog(s). I have a lot of experience: ♡Administering medications multiple times a day ♡Adhering to special diets. ♤Caring for profoundly blind and/or deaf dogs ♡Disabled dogs, including paralysis ♡Manual manipulation of bladder/bowels to encourage elimination (as instructed by owner) ♡Separation anxiety ♡Integrating dogs with other canine guests & my own doggos. ♡Love BONUS: I LOVE fetch and endlessly throwing the Ball!

julia was excelleny Lucca loved the TLC
Julia spoils our little dog more than we do. I'm surprised that she still wants to come home to us after Julia pampers her with attention, treats, walks, and so much love. our dog is older and takes medication multiple times a day and can be very nervous in new environments. Julia has done a great job with all of her needs, especially making sure she feels comfortable and as settled in as possible. we're so glad to have found a place where she feels so loved while we are away...
We just had our first dogsitting visit with Julia yesterday. Fonzie was pampered and treated like a family member. Julia was very kind and considerate to Fonzie's separation anxiety and didn't mind having him stuck to her hip (sometimes literally!) If it's true that a tired dog is a happy dog, then Fonzie was quite content because he was super tired/sleepy after we picked him up. Julia is very experienced with dogs and just genuinely loves animals of all kinds. We will definitely be re-booking in the future!
Julia was amazing! She requested a meet and greet with Lou that went wonderfully. Meeting her before hand allowed Lou to gain a sense of her space really helped later on when we dropped him off. The day we left Lou with Julia, she had other dogs boarded as well. She spent ample time ensuring that Lou had time to meet each other dog friend and allowed us to stay and watch the interactions as well. I left obviously feeling sad to spend a few days away from our dog but felt so much comfort in knowing Lou was staying with someone who genuinely loved him! She sent me updates each day and even sent photos throughout the time we were gone. If I messaged Julia asking a question she was so quick in responding! During pick up, she sent our little guy home with a toy that he fell in love with at her house. He still plays with it daily and I truly think he loved staying at her house!

I only host dogs under <15lbs. I strongly prefer female dogs but will accept well mannered, mellow males.
A typical day
We beach! We hike! We take long neighborhood walks! We play! We cuddle! We brush and love and kiss and snuggle! I've yet to have an unhappy doggo with me. They become family while they are with me and they stay in my heart when they leave.
