About the Owner

Welcome to Second Home Boarding; a safe, loving place for your cats and dogs when they need to be away from their own homes!  My name is Julia Bianchi and I'm the owner of Second Home Boarding. In 2007, as an Animal Science major at Colorado State University, I took a job as a Veterinary Technician at a local small animal veterinary hospital.  I had no idea that taking that job would change my life and the way I view animals. Working in the veterinary field allowed me to learn  a great deal of  medical knowledge and helped me  to understand animals’ body language, to properly comfort animals in times of need, and to react to each pet’s personality differences. 
I knew that becoming a veterinarian was not my dream, but as I continued my career over the next 12 years as a veterinary technician and, then manager of a veterinary clinic, I developed the desire to take all of my knowledge and experience I had with dogs and cats and put those skills towards something that became my dream:, opening a boarding facility and daycare. I worked at several clinics that had boarding facilities  and had also seen how other boarding facilities were run when using them for my own pets. I felt that I could offer clients more for their pets, give better options to the animals while they were away from home, and help decrease stress that naturally occurs when pets are not with their owners. Understanding the minds of dogs and cats is so important when at boarding and daycare facilities,  and I feel I have been able to take that knowledge and create a superior experience for those pets. So many of us look at our pets as our children, and we want them to be cared for in the same way. Like a second home I want the best for your pet and look forward to the opportunity to give your loved one that feeling while they are  away from home.
