Paco left and came back a very happy dog! When i picked him up after his stay, he seemed more than comfortable at Julies house, ready to play. He was clearly loved and entertained as we could tell in the pictures we received during his stay. I am more than relieved that paco and i have found a sweet and perfect place for doggy boarding.

I wanted to share my experience with Rover.com as it was a wonderful experience with Julie! Like most pet owners, one always gets anxious when they have to go away and can't bring their pet. I've never encountered this problem in the past as my parents would often watch my dog when I went away, but as it turned out, they were going away at the same time and so, I had to come up with a solution. Even though I had many friends nearby, they had their own busy schedules, some with younger children, some with pets, others with no pets because of allergies and so, I really didn't want to burden any of them in anyway when kennels are made for such occasions. It was only for 3 days (Friday thru Sunday), but I honestly never left an animal at a kennel as I've read some bad experiences by people in the past, varying from neglect to catching things from other dogs and so on, and on top of that, my crazy girl (a red fawn jindo, not an easy breed, but mine is very well trained) liked to run around the yard, play and loved to be one on one with people so, I really needed someone who connected with dogs that way. Heard of Julie through a friend and so we arranged to meet at her place and to see if they connected. My dog sniffed around, had all the signs of looking comfortable and at ease, met Julie and immediately sniffed her hand, started wagging her tail and stayed close to her with tail wagging and ears up. Very good signs and I think it was on the 3rd or 4th, checking out the yard and back to us, she lied down in front of Julie and offered up her belly so, that's really good as you know as a sign of feeling safe. Left a few of her favorite toys, dog bed, leash and harness, along with a few treats and food for those days I would be gone. When I came back to get her on Sunday night, she was happy to see me (jump, hugs, licks, wiggle waggles), but then grabbed her toy and did that, "This is is my space" thing, getting in her bed and looking like she wanted to stay another night or two, lol. Btw, this was earlier this year and before she got connected with Rover.com, but this looks like a really great concept and so, with that, if you are looking for a person to dog sit for you, I highly recommend Julie!
