“Beautiful people and home. They took great care of my elderly dog and sent me many updates. I am very grateful. Darby seemed very happy and healthy upon his return home. Thank you very much.”
“5 stars aren’t enough!! Emily and her family took such great care of brooks. I felt completely at ease and was worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us at pickup! Haha. Looking forward to his next stay over Christmas.”
“Luna had a wonderful time staying with Victoria's family and their two dogs. I think she was a little sad to go home! We enjoyed receiving the pictures and updates on our trip. Would happily recommend Victoria as a great sitter.”
“Jess was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her. My dog stayed for one week over the holidays .Dexter was treated like he was one of her babies, I got pictures daily and updates . I will definitely use her again! 😊😊”
“Ben took great care of our 8 month old Chocolate Lab, Willamena, while we were traveling for 7 days. He was very communicative, and send us plenty of pictures of their multiple walks per day, and even took her swimming in Point Pleasant! We loved all the updates, photos and videos. Willa had lots of fun with Ben's dogs as well. Ben was very flexible during pickup and dropoff, and we would be glad to leave Willa with him anytime!”
“We really appreciate Audrey and her expertise with dogs. Her experience shows with how she managed our hyperactive duck tolling retriever, Hudson. She is communicative, gives us plenty of video and photo updates on Hudson, and collaborates with us when it comes to necessary situations. She takes our dog out for lots of activities (fetch, swimming, exploring), plus she has 2 dogs of her own so our dog was never bored! We feel relieved knowing Hudson is in great hands and someone is caring for him while we’re away for our medical appointments. We highly recommend Audrey’s services!”
“Milissa took such great care of our dog Polly while we were away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. We really appreciated how she kept in touch throughout, sending us regular updates and adorable photos. It gave us total peace of mind. She also noticed that Polly had some extra energy and adjusted her walks to give her a bit more time and activity—something we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using Milissa again. Highly recommend!”
“My golden retriever Hudson really enjoyed hanging out with Gina and the few other dogs she was watching over. He loved running in the back yard so much that he didn't want to come back in at first; he would just sit on the back patio and look in at everyone. Hudson was vey excited to see me when I picked him up and I can say without any hesitation that we will utilize Gina's services again when the time comes for Hudson to be cared for. She really treats the dogs special. Thanks again Gina!!”
“Mark & Evangeline were awesome with Zimba. They took very good care of him for the 2 weeks that we were away, and made him a part of their family. They sent us daily updates with pictures and short videos. They gave Zimba his medication in a timely manner, and followed his regular routine. When we picked him up we noticed that he was happy and well taken care of. Mark & Evangeline are the best sitters we have had so far and I would highly recommend them. I will definitely keep Zimba with them in the future. Thank you Mark & Evangeline! 🥰”
“Colin was an absolute dream! Extremely personable and accommodating of all of our dog’s needs. He was very committed and engaged to providing great care for Pickles with daily activities. Thanks Colin!!!”
About: I’m a 37-year-old work from home professional who genuinely loves dogs and currently has a quiet, pet-free home. After losing my own last year due to old age, I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, but I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. Because I don’t have other pets and only accept one household at a time, your dog will receive my full attention in a calm environment. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering oral medications. My own dog lived with genetic IVDD, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle handling can be. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout the day. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention and stick to their normal routine. Your dog will be staying in my quiet, 1,400 sq. ft. apartment in Bedford. The building is small, well maintained, and located in a safe neighbourhood right next to a park, making it easy for regular walks and outdoor breaks. I’m on the second floor and right beside the stairwell, so we can head outside quickly without using elevators. I only care for one family’s pets at a time, so your dog will have a calm, comfortable environment during their stay.
“Megan is the best! Our big dog George has an amazing time there with their dog, Sunny. We’ve had multiple stays now and it’s always a good experience, we get lots of photos and we feel like they love George like their own!”
“Deanna is great!! Ellie had a wonderful time and even though this was Ellie’s first time with a sitter, we knew Deanna was right for us as soon as we met her 💕”
“We had a great experience with Shawna and family. They were very attentive, provided regular updates/pictures, and were flexible with pickup/dropoff. We were able to enjoy our vacation without the usual guilt because we knew our dog was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“We had our two dogs stay overnight with Akshata and we were extremely pleased with our experience. She replied quickly to any of my questions or concerns, updated us on how dogs settled in to her home and provided pics before I even enquired. She was also extremely amicable and flexible with our drop off of dogs. I felt reassured that our dogs’ safety and well being was taken care of during their stay! Thanks Akshata!”

“We used Rover for the first time this past weekend, and were able to book Alaina at the last minute to look after our feline crew - and how lucky we were! Alaina was fantastic. She was kind, friendly and a breeze to communicate with, and took such great care of our cats. She sent lots of pictures during her drop-in visits, took care of the litter and gave our cats lots of love and attention. Even our very skittish cat came out and gave her kisses. We were very happy with Alaina and would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”

I would be glad to recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter especially with cats with extra needs. Thanks Danny B. very much for your time and effort.”

“Maleficent was in very good spirits and it looked like she had a lot of fun with Ocean. Ocean did a very good job making sure she was fed and got bathroom breaks and everything else in between :)”
“Cleah was absolutely fantastic! Not only did she do a great job of taking care of my three kitties, she was also exceedingly flexible when a friend needed a place to stay for a few days and I offered up my apartment. This level of flexibility and professionalism was appreciated around this time of year. Communication was great, I never felt nervous about how the kitties were doing, she did a great job handling my cats interesting diet needs, and sent loves of photos of the fur babies. If I could give 6/5 stars I would :)”

“We were very nervous about leaving our 11 week old puppy for the 1st time with a sitter. I am so happy that we found Sara, she was great with our pup, and we left there feeling very secure with our choice. She sent us an update picture and little note that Maddie had done her business had a drink and was having a great time finding sticks in her garden. Maddie was a happy puppy when we picked her up. I would not hesitate to book with Sara again.”

“Megan was great! My Wife and I went to our daughter's graduation at Del and needed someone to take care of our 8 month old Siberian Husky, Eva. We are from a long distance away and were worried about who we could trust with Eva. After careful consideration, we decided to ask Megan as she would take Eva in her home, she has a beautiful dog of her own, and she has a good area to take the dogs outdoors. All day long Megan kept us very well update (with pictures) on how Eva was doing. I would definitely recommend Megan to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Also, Megan's dog is awsome! I would offer to take her anytime if Megan needed a sitter if she was in our area. Thank you Megan”
About: I have had dogs all my life. My last two dogs were rescues that moved three countries with me and were my world. I cared for them from puppies through their golden years. Experienced at dog walking and giving medication and a safe place for your pet to sleep. Have taken care of others dogs in my home while their owners are away as dogs deserve a vacation too, filled with walks in the park to play with other dogs, tail wags, and snuggles at home. From October I shall be working a hybrid job with 3 days in the office and two at home. Depending on the care you are looking for, your dog(s) will be walked in the morning and the evening and for those days I am working at home, there will be extra playtime midday. If you are looking for a long weekend away, I am happy to discuss shifting my schedule (given enough notice) to make sure that a long weekend away works for both you and your pet(s). I provide pet sitting/boarding within my home with meals and walks provided and a safe place for your dog to lay their head. If you are local, I am also happy to provide dog walking services.
“Cookie had a great time with Larissa and always came back tired and relaxed from the fun she had with the other dogs excercising and playing. 100% will rebook with Larissa again in the future! Thank you Larissa!”
About: I had a 10 year old Sheltie who passed away on December 27th 2024. Since then we have added a puppy to our home. It would be nice to have a playmate for her during the day. I would love to continue dog sitting for those who need a sitter during the day or on specific weekends. I have cat as well who gets along with dogs. I work from home every day and will be able to take your dog for walks throughout the day. A small to medium size dog is preferable with a mild temperament. I’m available to dog sit anytime during the week between 7 am and 7 pm. A drop off between these time is preferable along with a meal if required. Treats are provided . 😀 I live in a townhouse with a small backyard however I do 2 walks for at least 20 minutes each walk. To keep an eye on your dog I will be on the same floor of the house during sitting hours.
“We were visiting Nova Scotia from NE Ohio. We were staying in Amherst Shore but visiting the Halifax area and Peggy’s Cove for a day. We couldn’t leave the pup in the camper for that long but needed somewhere for him for a few hours while we went to the Maritime museum. Everything worked out perfectly from drop off to pick up. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Emily and he seemed very happy and comfortable when we picked him up. If we are ever back in the area would definitely consider leaving him with her again.”
About: My love for dogs goes well beyond my memory. I have had several dogs of my own and often cared for and walked dogs for neighbours, family and friends when they travel or while at work etc. I also frequently volunteered at a veterinary clinic for several years. I am a university student with predominantly asynchronous online classes and therefore I am able to devote a large portion of my time to caring for your pet. I have a good enough space for them to roam as well as a patio where they can hang and get some fresh air. I live within walking distance from two park which I am sure they will most definitely enjoy should you feel comfortable with that. I will also most definitely update you with picture and videos so you don’t miss them too much!
“Gavin and Alex were so easy to deal with and took great care of my little Sammy. Their communication was quick and they kept me updated on how he was doing with them. They clearly love animals as Sammy took to them quickly! The second day he was jumping at their door to get in! 5 star service for sure. I would not hesitate to book with them again!”
“Natalia was amazing with my dog, Robin, who takes a while to warm up and can be very nervous bc of her past. Natalia was communicative all day, and spoiled Robin, who looked so happy in the photos I received. She has a calm, intentional presence and I knew Robin was in good hands. I highly recommend her.”
“Being a dog mom it was a big step trusting someone to look after Solo however Ben gave frequent updates through video and pictures which meant the world and put my mind at rest. Ben is very loving and caring towards my dog and would recommend him to others looking for someone yo care for their dog.”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs throughout my life, and am currently the proud owner of an 8-year-old beagle, Stella. She's very friendly with lots of friends and playmates, so our home is well adapted to four-legged visitors and guests :) I'm a freelance translator who works from home, with a flexible schedule and generally light workload, leaving me plenty of time to look after other dogs besides my own, including long walks and fun outings to the park. I have a great set-up to board dogs in my home: I live with my dog (8-y.o.) and cat (10-y.o.) in a bright, clean suite with a nice balcony in a very pet-friendly apartment complex in the North End of Halifax. There's a semi-private courtyard out front where dogs like to congregate and socialize, I'm in a very walkable neighborhood close to downtown, the Commons and the waterfront, and I have a safe, reliable car that I use to take my dog and others on fun outings to the park (Point Pleasant Park is a favorite destination). In addition, I'm certified in Pet First Aid by St. John Ambulance (Oct. 29, 2023 - certificate available for viewing in photos).
About: I’ve loved animals from a young age and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including a puppy, several cats, and even fish both as a child and as an adult. This has helped me understand the different needs and behaviors of animals—from energetic dogs to independent cats and the consistency required for maintaining a healthy aquarium. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient with puppies and can help reinforce basic routines, and I’m equally comfortable with cats, respecting their space while still giving them attention and care. My experience with fish has also made me detail-oriented when it comes to feeding schedules, cleanliness, and maintaining a stable environment—skills that carry over into all types of pet care. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following each pet’s routine closely. I also keep owners updated so they have peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I treat every pet like family and focus on creating a stress-free, happy environment for them. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority in my schedule. I plan my day to ensure I have dedicated time for feeding, walks, playtime, and general care, so pets receive consistent attention and are never rushed. I’m comfortable incorporating morning and evening routines, as well as check-ins during the day if needed. Whether it’s taking dogs out for walks, spending time playing, or ensuring cats and other pets are fed and comfortable, I make sure their routine is followed closely. I treat pet care as an important and enjoyable part of my routine, not just an extra task. I provide a safe, calm, and pet-friendly environment in my home where pets can feel comfortable and well cared for. I make sure they have a dedicated space to rest, access to fresh water, and a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and relaxation. I take time to understand each pet’s habits and preferences so I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible. For dogs, this includes regular walks, playtime, and attention. For cats, I ensure a quiet, comfortable space while also giving them interaction on their terms. I’m also experienced in caring for fish, maintaining feeding schedules and a clean, stable environment. Pets are always supervised, and I focus on creating a stress-free atmosphere where they feel safe and at ease. I keep the home clean and organized and provide updates to owners so they know their pets are happy and in good hands. Overall, I treat every pet like family and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and comfort throughout their stay.
About: I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own! Your dog or cat’s comfort, happiness and sense of security are always my top priority. I have tons of experience dealing with my own anxious pup - my goal is to make every moment a positive and stress-free experience. I also have my certificate in canine first-aid through Maritime Dog First-Aid Hiking Safety Course. I’m currently working full-time throughout the week at home. My schedule is flexible so I am able to dedicate lots of walk times for your pup! My weekends are spent outside exploring, or just relaxing at home. I have a fenced in yard that my own dog is obsessed with! I have a large crate if you prefer your dog be crated throughout their stay, but I’m open to doing whatever is best for you and your dogs peace of mind.

“Claire is so great with Sunny! She tailors Sunny’s walks to meet her slow pace and lets her take in all the sniffs (Sunny’s favourite part of a walk). Claire is beyond kind, caring and flexible. She truly loves all the pets she looks after. Everyone in my neighborhood knows Claire and always comments what a great companion for Sunny during the day when I have to leave her for a long period of time.”
“Giulia was able to help us out and walk Newton. She was great to deal with, talk too and seemed very knowledgeable. She was professional, left a good report and sent lots of pictures! Thanks again Giulia.”
About: Not every dog loves the world around them—and that’s okay. I have a special interest in working with reactive, anxious, and fearful dogs. My own dog, Otis, has taught me just how much patience, understanding, and thoughtful handling can help dogs feel safer on walks. I understand how stressful it can be to trust someone else with a dog who needs extra support, and my goal is to provide calm, safe, low-stress walks where your dog can feel comfortable and successful. I am comfortable walking dogs who bark, lunge, need extra space, or find the outside world overwhelming. Every dog is an individual, so I tailor each walk to their needs—whether that means choosing quieter routes, giving plenty of distance from triggers, taking sniff breaks, or simply moving at a pace that keeps them regulated. My focus is on positive, calm handling, reading canine body language, and setting dogs up for success. If you're looking for someone who understands reactive dogs and can keep walks safe and low-stress, I’m happy to help. If you’re hoping to work toward calmer walks over time, we can talk about your goals and whether that’s something I can support. I work full time at a vet clinic as a Veterinary Assistant, I am available in the mornings and evenings to do drop in visits - and am able to offer dog walking a few days per week. My house has a lot of structure, and low stress vibe. Balanced energy and clear expectations help a dog to be at peace and help with anxiety and insecurities. Depending on the animals needs I try to find enriching activities that will offer the highest reward, my pup loves to sniff so we do scent work and food scattering in the back yard.
About: Hey I’m Courtney. I’m a mama to a Boston terrier. I always had a dog growing up and I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I could remember. (Both small and large / seniors, puppies) I currently work part time so I have lots of availability. I can pet sit at your house or mine , drop in for feedings or take them for walks. I know how hard it is to leave your baby with someone new but I will take care of them as my own and keep you updated along the way. The safety of your dog is my Number one priority.
About: I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs of family, friends and neighbours, as well as two cats of my own. I’ve cared for pets through long-term stays as well as check-ins while owners are at work. One unique thing about me is that I am in pharmacy school, meaning I have knowledge and comfortability surrounding medications. I would love to get to know your pets! Please reach out if you have any questions. I currently work from home, with availability throughout the day and most evenings. Working remotely means my schedule is quite flexible allowing me to offer frequent potty breaks, playtime, or simply companionship throughout the day. While I’m unable to board pets in my apartment, I’m happy to travel to your home and visit nearby parks and neighbourhood walking routes to keep your pet active and in their familiar environment.

About: I have had my own dog, Bear, for 10 years. He’s a highly excitable beagle-dachshund mix! As a university student, I’m always looking to give back to my community in the summers. I’d love to help out my fellow pet-lovers by ensuring their dog gets their needs exceeded while feeling comfortable and loved. With a flexible schedule and calm demeanour, I can help unload the stresses of life by giving your dog the care they deserve🐾 From July-August I have a highly flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily life as a student since my summer-job has come to a close and school does not begin until September. I can help at those difficult times when both work and your dog need attention at once. I will always take the time to learn the precautions you have set up for your dog, whether that be fencing, gates, crates, or a designated play area. You can trust me to respect any special requests as I understand the needs dogs sometimes require. My own dog is on daily medication and requires mobility assistance for stairs.
About: Being around dogs comes naturally to me as my family always kept family dogs as well as fostered. I am familiar and comfortable with a variety of large breed dogs, including those I've lived with: Aussie, German/Husky mixes, Komondor, Great Pyrs and female am staffs. I am currently raising and training my own puppy, Pretzel. We have attended several professional training courses together and his training is going very well. At these sessions I was also introduced to first aid measures for dogs, which I hope to never need but I am glad to know. I have a home in Sackville with a very large, fenced yard and am looking for clients in my area. I also like to make healthy dog food toppers and treats in my spare time! I have taken some time off from my full-time job to enjoy my new home and spend more time with Pretzel. I ran a restaurant for five years alongside my mum, and am now savouring some me-time. My schedule is very flexible. I will follow all instructions given for drop-in visits and walks. I would like to get to know your dog and become familiar with his/her environment, and ensure that your animal feels comfortable with me

“Ilana was great! We were traveling in an RV caravan and she met us all at our campground and she met with all of the dogs and their owners and the following day she showed back up to walk all of our dogs! She did a great job while we were all away on an excursion!”

About: I have grown up with puppies and dogs in my family and my own household. I have been around small and large dogs. Having a 66lb dog myself, it has allowed me to learn the ways of training a larger dog but I have also taken care of puppies and cats. I also have a 11 year old black cat named Arthur who happens to be diabetic. (Please note: dogs and cats are separated in the home for doggy daycare) I am available mornings, afternoons or evenings for your fur babies. Please let me know your preference for times and preference for duration of visits. I have a fully fenced yard, A/C, and heat in the home, if needed, and my own dog who likes to play with other dogs. I am also familiar with the vets and animal hospital in the area. We can work together to develop a schedule for your dog or cat.
About: Hey! My name is Shanny, and I have a passion for animals, especially dogs. I currently have 2 dogs of my own, a 5 y/o black lab named Jayda and a 6 y/o shepherd collie mix named Lyla. I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life. I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for over a year where I learned boarding, med administration, and how to keep control of a 30+ group of dogs. I’ve taken pet CPR. I’ve also been dog sitting for the last 10 years. I’m currently only offering in-home boarding from my home. 3-4 night max unless agreed upon otherwise. I currently work part time as a Designer mainly in the evenings and on weekends from home, so I am available at all times during the week. Boarding available on weekdays and weekends. I have 2 dogs that love to make new friends to share their large fenced in yard with. When I meet with a new dog, I first like to come to the home for a soft introduction, and then start with a neighborhood walk. If off-leash hikes are a service you would require, I always take a new dog on a solo hike to insure recall is successful.

“Beautiful people and home. They took great care of my elderly dog and sent me many updates. I am very grateful. Darby seemed very happy and healthy upon his return home. Thank you very much.”
“5 stars aren’t enough!! Emily and her family took such great care of brooks. I felt completely at ease and was worried he wouldn’t want to come home with us at pickup! Haha. Looking forward to his next stay over Christmas.”
“Luna had a wonderful time staying with Victoria's family and their two dogs. I think she was a little sad to go home! We enjoyed receiving the pictures and updates on our trip. Would happily recommend Victoria as a great sitter.”
“Jess was absolutely amazing! I highly recommend her. My dog stayed for one week over the holidays .Dexter was treated like he was one of her babies, I got pictures daily and updates . I will definitely use her again! 😊😊”
“Ben took great care of our 8 month old Chocolate Lab, Willamena, while we were traveling for 7 days. He was very communicative, and send us plenty of pictures of their multiple walks per day, and even took her swimming in Point Pleasant! We loved all the updates, photos and videos. Willa had lots of fun with Ben's dogs as well. Ben was very flexible during pickup and dropoff, and we would be glad to leave Willa with him anytime!”
“We really appreciate Audrey and her expertise with dogs. Her experience shows with how she managed our hyperactive duck tolling retriever, Hudson. She is communicative, gives us plenty of video and photo updates on Hudson, and collaborates with us when it comes to necessary situations. She takes our dog out for lots of activities (fetch, swimming, exploring), plus she has 2 dogs of her own so our dog was never bored! We feel relieved knowing Hudson is in great hands and someone is caring for him while we’re away for our medical appointments. We highly recommend Audrey’s services!”
“Milissa took such great care of our dog Polly while we were away. She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. We really appreciated how she kept in touch throughout, sending us regular updates and adorable photos. It gave us total peace of mind. She also noticed that Polly had some extra energy and adjusted her walks to give her a bit more time and activity—something we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be using Milissa again. Highly recommend!”
“My golden retriever Hudson really enjoyed hanging out with Gina and the few other dogs she was watching over. He loved running in the back yard so much that he didn't want to come back in at first; he would just sit on the back patio and look in at everyone. Hudson was vey excited to see me when I picked him up and I can say without any hesitation that we will utilize Gina's services again when the time comes for Hudson to be cared for. She really treats the dogs special. Thanks again Gina!!”
“Mark & Evangeline were awesome with Zimba. They took very good care of him for the 2 weeks that we were away, and made him a part of their family. They sent us daily updates with pictures and short videos. They gave Zimba his medication in a timely manner, and followed his regular routine. When we picked him up we noticed that he was happy and well taken care of. Mark & Evangeline are the best sitters we have had so far and I would highly recommend them. I will definitely keep Zimba with them in the future. Thank you Mark & Evangeline! 🥰”
“Colin was an absolute dream! Extremely personable and accommodating of all of our dog’s needs. He was very committed and engaged to providing great care for Pickles with daily activities. Thanks Colin!!!”
About: I’m a 37-year-old work from home professional who genuinely loves dogs and currently has a quiet, pet-free home. After losing my own last year due to old age, I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, but I’d love the opportunity to care for yours. Because I don’t have other pets and only accept one household at a time, your dog will receive my full attention in a calm environment. I have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering oral medications. My own dog lived with genetic IVDD, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle handling can be. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and to give you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and am home throughout the day. This allows me to give your dog plenty of attention and stick to their normal routine. Your dog will be staying in my quiet, 1,400 sq. ft. apartment in Bedford. The building is small, well maintained, and located in a safe neighbourhood right next to a park, making it easy for regular walks and outdoor breaks. I’m on the second floor and right beside the stairwell, so we can head outside quickly without using elevators. I only care for one family’s pets at a time, so your dog will have a calm, comfortable environment during their stay.
“Megan is the best! Our big dog George has an amazing time there with their dog, Sunny. We’ve had multiple stays now and it’s always a good experience, we get lots of photos and we feel like they love George like their own!”
“Deanna is great!! Ellie had a wonderful time and even though this was Ellie’s first time with a sitter, we knew Deanna was right for us as soon as we met her 💕”
“Trish did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my senior dog. She was great at sending me daily pictures and updates. She was able to give all the medications with out issues and my dog got along with hers so well. I would 10 out of 10 recommend her for sitting and would use her again.”
“Absolutely wonderful !! I worked our of town for a week and left my dog with Kelly. She took great care of my dog with walking feeding and playing . She sent a couple pictures and was very easy to communicate with. No issues at all and if i have another trip out of town She will be first on my list to take care of my pooch ! If I could give 10 stars and 2 thumbs up I would”
