Dog Enthusiast in Haight-Ashbury

Pet care experience

I LOVE animals of all shapes and sizes, but ever since I was a toddler I always asked for a dog for Christmas. Much to my dismay, I never got one....that is until I adopted my Border Collie, Elliott, from the local shelter while attending university. And let me tell you, it was the BEST decision I ever made! In addition to Elliott, I also have a Corgi/Basset Hound mix named Winston. While they are the rulers of this household, they love when puppy friends come to visit! My apartment is the perfect place to host new pups, as it has a fenced in patio/yard, as well as easy access to Golden Gate Park. If necessary, I am well adept at providing medicine, bandaging wounds, bathing, and trimming nails. I understand that leaving your dog in a stranger's care can be worrisome, but I guarantee your pup will be treated with love and affection while in my charge! ** While I love animals, this is not my full time gig. I work the traditional hours of 9-5, meaning I would not be able to do much during business hours. If your pup is already used to a situation like this, then great! If not, no worries and I hope we can work something out so they're comfortable. I am available most weekends full time though.

As a first time Rover user I was nervous to leave my dog with someone that I didn't know! But after reading Julie's reviews I decided to leave my dog with her! She was GREAT and even sent a few pictures of my dog throughout his stay! And as a bonus, she has two sweet dogs of her own so he got to play with them while I was gone! Einstein came back super happy and I will def leave Einstein with her again!

Julie was amazing! She took great care of my dog, Gus. She was very responsive, and accommodated my last minute timing changes. She also sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay, which gave me a peace of mind during my move. I told Julie that my dog has seperation anxiety, and she tried out experiments to see what would Make it better. She didn't need to, but it showed that she truly cared about Gus' wellbeing. I'm really happy, and will definitely come back to Julie whenever I need help dog sitting.

Julie has always watched my pups and did a great job. She knows all the standard things to watch for and followed everything we had asked. She really cares about the wellbeing of our dogs and I would recommend her to watch yours!

What is their schedule? How do they do when left home alone? Do they have any weird habits or quirks? Any medical conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions? Do they get along with other dogs? Are they okay when meeting new people?

A typical day

Golden Gate Park is just a few steps from my house, as well as the Panhandle green space. If you dog likes to run, even better, because I enjoy a good jog and/or hike. There will always be lots of ball throwing, rope pulling, and treats to be had.
