This is our second time leaving our pup with Julie and I didn’t worry for a second! She is always super accommodating and diligent with Luna’s needs and schedule; whether it’s her feeding schedule, allergy meds, or the never-ending pets my doodle will paw you to death for 😂 All of this was confirmed when she set me a picture of Luna, not in her crate where she goes in new places to feel safe, but curled up by Julie’s feet. I wouldn’t leave my dog with just anyone but I’d book Julie again in a heartbeat. 10/10

This was my first time leaving Sunshine with anyone. I was nervous about his overnight stay. Julie communicated with me during his stay. My detailed instructions for him were followed. She understood that he is my baby and she took good care of him. I would highly recommend her for your dogs.

10/10 — I cannot recommend Julie enough! This was my first time using Rover, and I was initially very hesitant to leave Luna with someone I didn’t know, especially because she struggles with separation anxiety after being rehomed later in life. Julie took the time to meet both me and Luna before our booking and even brought her own dog to make sure they got along well. When we dropped Luna off, Julie listened carefully to all of her care instructions and sent multiple daily updates and pictures that showed Luna having a great time. I wouldn’t leave Luna with just anyone, but I would absolutely book Julie again in a heartbeat!

We have left our 2 fur babies with Julie 3 times now. The environment is very clean and peaceful. There is a fully fenced backyard. Julie walks the dogs and there is always someone around checking on and interacting with the dogs. We have used many different boarding facilities in the past. This is the first place that we left them knowing that they are actually very happy and safe. If you need a safe place for your precious fur babies to stay, you will not be disappointed. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. I keep a peaceful home and stick to consistent routines for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and rest time. I’m home often on weekends and available to give plenty of supervision, companionship, and care. Whether your dog loves to play or prefers a quiet place to relax, I adjust to their needs.

Pets

A typical day

I’m very attentive, responsible, and detail-oriented. I follow instructions carefully and understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s normal routine. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels, senior dogs or dogs needing a slower pace. I can keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

I'm an old special education teacher who understands the various needs of each individual. I think it is safe to say the same can be true for dogs. I just need instructions on what your preferences are ahead of time.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
