We are an American family living in Ireland with a very sweet 1-year old Goldendoodle.  We were very apprehensive about leaving her for an extended stay while we visited family in California over the holidays.  I found Aideen through the friend of a friend of a friend and thank goodness the network is alive and well – we could not have been happier with the situation.   Clover had an amazing stay and we received regular updates and photos – it really erased any apprehension and guilt we had about being away.  We took Clover back for a visit and she had a very happy reunion with Aideen and her family.  And we have planned our next trip! Thank you, Aideen.
