“Best experience for both Whiskey and his hoomans. A stress free experience as they kept me updated with photos and videos. They even bought a toy for Whiskey to play with. Thank you very much. Hopefully you guys liked Whiskey too and accept to care for him in future.”
“Cindy and her family are very kind and caring and these are the type of dog carers you want to leave your furry kids with when you’re away and can’t bring them along so 2 thumbs up for this family stay”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessie and Joseph. From the very first meeting, it was clear how much they genuinely care for animals. Throughout the time they cared for him, I received regular updates, photos, and little notes about how his day was going. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was not only being well looked after, but also loved and entertained. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and truly passionate about dogs, I highly recommend Jessie and Joseph.They treat your pup like family, and that’s the best gift a pet parent could ask for.”
“We boarded our dog with Hao for a week and had a great experience. Hao and his family are true dog lovers; they treated our dog like their own. He sent us regular updates with pictures and videos, kept our dog active, and made sure he was well cared for the whole time. It gave us real peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Hao to anyone looking for a safe and loving home for their pet. Thanks again, Hao, for your care and attention!”
“Liz is a fantastic sitter that kept us up to date on our Mochi's first time away from home! Mochi had such a wonderful and stress-free experience that she came home calm and relaxed. We will definitely use Liz's services for our next vacation. Thank you Liz!!”
“Berlin had a fantastic weekend with Francine. This is the first time we left Berlin with Francine . She is truly amazing Petsitter. Grateful that she accepted my last minute request to board Berlin. All I can say is she is great with pets . Highly recommend Francine”
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Yuxi! This is the third time we've entrusted her with our dog, Miku, and each time has been an absolute delight. Yuxi treats Miku like her own, providing so much love, care, and attention. We always receive regular updates and photos, which gives us such peace of mind while we're away. Miku is always happy and well taken care of when we return, and we can tell she feels right at home with Yuxi. We're already looking forward to the next time and wouldn't hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone in need of a loving, responsible dog sitter. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“Sarah was very sweet and welcoming to our Neo. She kept us informed and updated us regularly. Be it about his walks or play. We welcomed the pics she sent. Sarah was very involved and Neo came home a happy content boy. Thank you Sarah. We will happily leave Neo with Sarah again!”
“Bones very communicative. Sent photos and videos of how my pup was doing. Sent photos saying it was walk time but they were in the backyard. Molly was well looked after overall and I think if I would use butter again I would use Bo as then Molly would know him and not be as afraid. My dog has some abandonment issues and this would help build trust.”
“Another successful visit with Charmaine. This time our dog stayed overnight for 2 nights. Charmaine is attentive and caring. I received many pictures and videos of Kiki’s stay. Charmaine’s dog Luna is a wonderful companion. Kiki got at least 4 walks a day plus lots of play time. Kiki is looking forward to his next visit.”
“Samantha gave us tons of updates and treated our dogs like her own. We felt greatly reassured that the dogs were in good hands with her, and her family. We would definitely rebook with Samantha”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Coco! We really appreciated the updates and could tell Coco was happy and well loved. We would definitely book again if needed!”
“If you are in the Scarborough area and looking for dog-sitters that will treat your pooch(es) like their own, you must book with Jacky and Yunn. I highly recommend them! They have a lovely and cozy home in Scarborough and took such great care of our Timmie while my family and I were out of the country. Yunn communicated with me at least 5 times a day, sending photos and videos as requested. They were also very accommodating for the drop-off and pick-up time. Jacky and Yunn, thank you so much for taking care of Timmie during our time away. We will book you guys again if there's another opportunity :)”
“Angela was very caring and attentive towards Turbo. She was great with communicating always responded very fast. Angela also sent pictures of Turbo throughout his stay so I can feel relax on my vacation.”
“Diana is the sweetest caregiver, she truly loves dogs and was awesome to my sweet girl Domino again. This was a repeat stay to which I was confident would go very well for both. Diana even teared up as we left, clearly indicating her genuine love for my dog. I appreciate Diana & her family’s hospitality and kindness to my fur baby so much! Thank you again for taking such great care of Domino! 🐶💖🐾”
“Emily and her family is very compensating and understanding. They took great care of my dog! I definitely recommend Emily for anybody seeking a caring and lovely dog sitter! We will definitely book with Emily again.”
“Amy is an outstanding sitter! She's just amazing. She is super prompt and communicative. She picked up adi and dropped her off. She took care of adi so well giving me regular updates and has genuine concern for Adi. We also got delayed due to unforseen circumstances and Amy was veey understanding. I wouls definitely trust Amy with Adi next time and we're lucky we found her ❤️❤️ thank you Amy!”
“Ka Ying watched Louie for two days while we were away - she sent pictures and updates throughout the day. Followed all the eating instructions and gave Louie multiple walks. Louie came home himself and in perfect condition! I would recommend her and would use her again next time. Thank you, Ka Ying!”

Feel free to message me if you’re ever looking for someone to care for your pups for the day/overnight - I’d be happy to help! 😊 I have a friendly pup of my own who is sweet, calm, and easygoing.

“Wing was wonderful to work with and easy to communicate with. She was great with Ryder, and he seemed to take to her right away. Thanks so much for your service and going above and beyond. I hope to reach out again during my next travels.”

About: I genuinely love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Even though I don’t currently have my own pet, I have always been the person my friends trust to watch their pets. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors. I usually go for walks during the day, so taking a dog for a walk or visiting a pet fits perfectly into my schedule I am patient, attentive, and detail-oriented. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet like my own.💗
About: I will treat your babies as if they were my own, send you lots of pics. I am a reliable, caring person who is trustworthy! Would love to work with you :) I love both cats and dogs and have been caring for animal for over 8 years. I will do my best to make both you and your pet feel at ease under my care. I’m an active person so can take your baby on runs, hikes, outings if you like! We can discuss this further. Please message me if you would like to learn more. I work at the big 5 bank in capital markets so I am professional and a hardworker. I’m family oriented and currently working from home so I will be able to tend to their needs.
“As a nervous pet-parent, I couldn’t be more blessed to have found Vanessa to look after my dog when I’m away. Her impressive experience and love of animals showed during our meet and greet and when she looked after our little guy. He adores her! I’ve already rebooked her for our next trip away and I’m reassured having her look after him.”
About: Hello I’m Seray! I’ve been taking care of cats for years. I have experience with kittens, young cats and senior cats. I am comfortable administering medication and injections. I’ve been working at animal shelter for years and have tremendous medical and behavioural knowledge. I’m also an expert at dealing with under-socialized, over-aroused and fear aggressive cats. If you need help in any of these areas, consider me as your cat sitter!
About: What truly sets me apart is my background as a rescue pet parent. I understand that not every pet is 'plug and play', some need extra patience, a calm voice, and time to decompress. My experience has taught me how to read subtle body language and handle pets that may be shy, anxious, or have specific triggers. Additionally, as a working professional with a steady 9 to 5, I bring a high level of organization and reliability to my sittings. I am not someone who will flake or show up late; I treat your pet's schedule with the same respect I give my own career. You can expect detailed updates, photos from every walk, and a sitter who is deeply committed to maintaining your pet's existing routine and home security. Pet care is a dedicated part of my morning and evening routine. Because I work a consistent 9 to 5 schedule, I offer highly reliable and 'on the clock' care that pets thrive on. On Weekdays: I am available for early morning walks or check-ins before 8:30 AM, and I am fully dedicated to pet care starting at 5:30 PM for evening walks, feedings, and playtime. For house-sitting clients, your pet will have my full company throughout the evening and overnight. On Weekends: My schedule is completely open! I use Saturdays and Sundays for longer walks, adventure trail visits in the Markham area, and extended playtime. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. When walking or visiting your home, I ensure all doors and gates are securely locked behind me and double-check leashes and harnesses before heading out. I am always vigilant of my surroundings to avoid high-stress situations or unfriendly off-leash dogs. Having cared for a rescue pet, I am very comfortable managing specialized instructions, from strict feeding schedules to administering medication. I believe in clear communication and will provide frequent photo updates and notes so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for in their own comfortable environment. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect and every pet as if they were my own family
“Christy was absolutely amazing! She followed every single instruction very carefully and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She took such great care of my cat and was very attentive and responsible throughout. I could tell my cat was comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciate her effort and kindness — I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Thank you so much for picking me and share your cute family with me. I only accept 1 fur friend or 2 from the same family each time so I can put all my attention on him/her.

“Thanks for sending so many photos and videos! They (including Luna 😝) did a wonderful job taking care of Cashew again. They also helped document her play and rest times which I appreciated a lot!”
“Thank you for watching my ol' senior, hard of hearing, and anxious dog today. I appreciate it! I knew he would be in good hands and I enjoyed a day of appointments with peace of mind. Thank you Jin! All the best”
“Liz was fantastic. We got pictures throughout the day and prompt responses any time we checked in. Our pup loved her too and was always excited to see Liz in the morning when we dropped her off!”
“Absolutely Amazing ! They took such great care of Diesel I almost thought he wouldn't want to come home . Leaving your dog with anyone is scary but I promise you Shaira & Kevin make it SO easy ! they provide such efficient and great care . We will be back !”
“Rosco and Romeo had a wonderful time. Xintian was very courteous and even accommodated our last minute request for pet drop off due to some changes in our plans. Highly recommend and will definitely use again! She sent us photo updates on the dogs as well which was really comforting.”
“Carmen was incredible caring with ice! We needed last minute day care for him, and he was recovering from a leg injury as well. Carmen was so understanding, responsive and thoughtful with Ice - it gave us peace of mind the whole time he was with her. Will definitely consider Carmen for any future Pet care!!”
“Po had a great time at Francine's! She was accommodating and responsive to messages. Po is usually wary of strangers at first, but he didn't bark at her (a bonus!) and was good with her. Her dog was super helpful at welcoming Po and making him less nervous.”
“Heidi is awesome. This is the 1st time using the app, Heidi walked us through her process which made us feel very comfortable, she took notes of Nova's needs, she sent regular pictures, videos and updates on Nova's stay. I will highly recommend Heidi to anyone.”
“Winnie and Pete are fantastic and so kind and caring I had no qualms leaving Odie with them. I absolutely know my sensitive baby is in the best hands. Thank you both for taking such good care of Odie💜💙🐩”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs for over 2 years and run a full pet-loving household of my own — a Border Collie puppy, a Siberian Forest Cat, and a British Shorthair. Raising a high-energy puppy means I'm comfortable with leash work, crate routines, and active breeds, and I'm patient and gentle with seniors who need a slower pace. I can give oral medication, handle nail trims and brushing, and I make my own healthy dehydrator treats. I'm also fully bilingual in English and Mandarin. I work from home full-time, so pet care isn't squeezed into spare time — it's my main focus all day, every day of the week. Your pet is rarely left alone for long. I keep consistent feeding, walking, and play times, and I'm happy to do up to 4 walks a day plus regular backyard play. Because I'm flexible and always home, I can easily match my routine to your pet's normal schedule rather than forcing them into a new one. Safety is the first thing I set up. I have pet gates on the stairs of every floor, so cats and dogs are kept completely separate and never mix. Boarding cats stay upstairs, where each family's cat gets their own private, dog-free room, while dogs stay on the main floor and in a fully fenced, escape-proof backyard. I currently board cats already, I monitor every guest's appetite, litter, energy, and mood daily, and I can give oral medication exactly on schedule.
“I was so happy with Kelly's approach to my very anxious and shy dog, Doug. I have been looking for an overnight solution for Doug for when we go away - and I've found her to be too anxious in big camp environments. I thought I'd try out a dog daycare day with Kelly to see how Doug would do. Kelly was really generous with her time. We had an initial phone call, where I provided a bunch of background information on Doug. It was clear from that phone call that Kelly just really understands dogs. She took the time to find a day in her schedule that had a few dogs that would be a good fit for Doug without being overwhelming. On the day of daycare, Kelly took time to allow Doug to meet all the dogs. When Doug was still a little anxious during the day, Kelly took her on a walk to help her feel a little less anxious. She also played ball with Doug to help her warm up. (Doug is relentless with ball, so I'm sure it was a bit relentless for Kelly..:) It was amazing to see how all the dogs just listen to Kelly - with her calm and gentle approach. I'll book more daycare with Kelly and will for sure have Doug stay with her the next time we go away. Thanks Kelly!”
“Ollie loved his time in Tiffany’s care. Noodle was a perfect match for Ollie’s energy they looked like best friends with all the playing they enjoyed throughout the day. Tiffany was very considerate in listening to our specific requests and considerations for watching Ollie. She was very patient and ensured that Ollie got the attention he needed throughout the day. She also shared photos and videos frequently to update us on how Ollie was.”
“Emily & Ling took wonderful care of my dog, Ebi! It’s clear they truly love dogs and treated her with so much care. Before the stay, they took the time to do a meet-and-greet, which was really helpful and reassuring. Communication was fast and easy, and we received photo and video updates throughout the day. Ebi is an anxious dog, so I’m always a bit nervous about leaving her with a sitter, but Emily & Ling made the entire process worry-free. We’d love to bring Ebi back for future stays. Thank you for taking such great care of her!”
“I had my dog, Mori, spend the day with Joseph and Jessie for daycare, and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. It was such a relief to entrust Mori to someone who clearly cares. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive caregiver for their pet!”
About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine passion for animals. Whether it's energetic puppies who need extra playtime and consistency, adult pets who enjoy routine, or senior pets who require a gentler approach and extra attention, I adapt my care to each pet's individual needs. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, and updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their families. I'm retired and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Having pets in my home fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always a priority, and being home most of the day means I can give them the care and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a retired sitter who is home most of the time, I can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's property, ensuring pets receive consistent care in a familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and receiving the love and attention they deserve while they're away.
About: am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to frequent traveling, it's sadly not the right time for me. I love having the opportunity through Rover. Any and all instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! I am currently working on part time.so I will have plenty of time to stay with pups! I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays just booking with me first. Thank you! I have fenced yard, and in front of my house is a park. Very convenient to walk pups! Twice a day for dogs walking is minimum!

“Wing Shan is a very excellent sitter for your dogs 🐶 and cats 😺. She is a good communicator and really knows how to do her job well. My dog, Caeser, is enjoying his weekly walks with her ❤️”
About: My journey started as a volunteer at dog and cat shelters before I have any pets myself. I’ve cared for pets as a foster, TrustedHousesitter, and a cat mom for over 4 years. I also grew up with my grandma’s dogs, so I’m familiar with both cats and dogs of different personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to create a calm, loving, and consistent environment while you’re away. I work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows for regular feeding, playtime, and cuddles - or quiet companionship if that’s what they prefer. I live in a spacious townhouse that’s clean, quiet, and pet-safe, perfect for boarding or drop-in visits. If I’m staying at your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect and care I give my own space, ensuring your pet feels comfortable in a familiar environment.
“Bernice was great! First time using Rover and she was flexible and easy to communicate with. She invited Zack and I to come and meet her outside her place so we could meet her dog Gala before they went off together. Zack had not eaten that morning and Bernice was kind enough to spoil him by hand feeding him! -I think both were entertained for the day! I have no hesitation in recommending Bernice look after your pet.”
“We could tell when we met her that Dana absolutely loves dogs. She was undeterred when we told her that our 10-year-old Aussie is highly energetic and does not always respond well to other dogs. She showed up reliably every day during the week we were gone, taking him on the full hour walk and even including her children on a couple of outings. The routes we took were varied and we really felt our little guy was getting a chance to work out his endless energy. We highly recommend her.”
“Thank you so much again, both of you 🙏 For helping walk Caeser tonight! It was great meeting Fuji as well 🐾🥰 I'm sure they both had fun and will definitely book with you again in the future!”

About: I primarily focus on cat care and have hands-on experience taking care of my own cat. I understand daily routines such as feeding, litter cleaning, and interactive play. I am patient, gentle, and attentive to a cat’s behavior and comfort level. I am experienced with playful and curious cats, and I always ensure interactions are safe and stress-free. I prefer working with cats to provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel secure and well cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I am able to dedicate consistent time to caring for cats throughout the day. I can provide regular check-ins, feeding, playtime, and attention based on your cat’s routine. I maintain a very clean and hygienic environment. I vacuum daily and clean the litter box at least twice a day to ensure comfort and cleanliness. I also provide regular grooming care, including cleaning around the eyes and face, wiping paws, and maintaining overall hygiene. I pay close attention to small details to keep cats comfortable and well cared for. When needed, I use pet-safe natural insect repellent before outdoor exposure and keep up with routine parasite prevention to protect against fleas and ticks.
“Pawsitively Perfect: A Five-Star Dog Walking Experience I can't speak highly enough of Dan and the outstanding service he provided. As a dedicated dog owner, finding a reliable and trustworthy dog walker was of utmost importance to me, and I am delighted to say that Dan exceeded all expectations. Dan goes beyond the basics, ensuring my dog not only gets the exercise they need but also enjoys mental stimulation and positive interactions.

About: I have taken care of dogs from all ages, from walks, playtime, feedings, and meds. I can do it all for your special pups ! I am a university student and have the summer semester off. Looking to give my time to friendly animals and their owners any time ! I make sure to give timed meds to my dog everyday and keep an eye on areas of house that she is not allowed in.
About: 🐾 Animal Experience I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, including dogs and cats. In my home country, I was actively involved in rescuing and caring for animals in need, helping them recover, rehabilitate, and find safety and comfort again. Through this experience, I have learned how to handle animals with different temperaments, ages, and emotional needs, from shy and anxious pets to very active and social ones. I developed a strong sense of patience, observation, and calm energy when working with animals. This long-term experience has given me the ability to quickly understand each pet’s behavior and respond in a way that makes them feel safe, respected, and cared for. As I am home full-time, I can adapt my daily routine to each dog's individual needs, providing constant companionship, supervision, and personalized care throughout their stay. Mornings: We start the day with a safe, supervised walk around the neighborhood, followed by breakfast and some time to settle in comfortably. During the day: I stay home throughout the day, so dogs are never left alone for long periods. They enjoy supervised playtime in our fully fenced private backyard, along with plenty of indoor companionship, relaxation, and personalized attention. I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for according to their usual routine. Afternoons and evenings: We go for a second walk to help them burn energy and maintain a balanced routine. Afterward, they can relax and enjoy family time indoors. I also send daily photo and video updates so owners can stay connected and have peace of mind while they are away. My Home & Care Policy To provide a safe, calm, and stress-free environment, I only accept dogs. My home features a fully fenced private backyard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time under supervision. We are a quiet, family-oriented household with a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment. My husband is a veterinarian, which reflects our family's love and respect for animals; however, I am the primary caregiver and personally responsible for the daily care and attention of every dog in my home. My goal is for every guest to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and truly at home during their stay. 🐾❤️ 🐾 Safety, Trust & Environment The safety and well-being of every pet is my top priority. I provide a calm, structured, and closely supervised environment where pets are never left unattended and always feel protected and cared for. Trust is built through consistency, patience, and attention to detail. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, routines, and comfort levels so they feel secure and relaxed during their stay. I also offer a clean, smoke-free, and environmentally friendly home with access to a private fenced green yard and nearby parks. This allows pets to enjoy fresh air, nature, and safe outdoor stimulation in a controlled and responsible way. My goal is to create a peaceful balance between safety, trust, and a healthy environment where pets can feel at home, calm, and happy.
About: I've always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine passion for animals. Whether it's energetic puppies who need extra playtime and consistency, adult pets who enjoy routine, or senior pets who require a gentler approach and extra attention, I adapt my care to each pet's individual needs. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, and updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a stress-free, positive experience for both pets and their families. I'm retired and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to provide pets with plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Because I have a flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate feeding times, walks, play sessions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Having pets in my home fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always a priority, and being home most of the day means I can give them the care and attention they deserve. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a retired sitter who is home most of the time, I can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet's routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions provided by the owner. In a client's home, I respect both the pet's routine and the owner's property, ensuring pets receive consistent care in a familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and receiving the love and attention they deserve while they're away.

“Bones very communicative. Sent photos and videos of how my pup was doing. Sent photos saying it was walk time but they were in the backyard. Molly was well looked after overall and I think if I would use butter again I would use Bo as then Molly would know him and not be as afraid. My dog has some abandonment issues and this would help build trust.”

Yue kept me updated with messages and adorable photos, and it was clear Ella was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the entire time. It’s not always easy leaving your pet with someone else, but Yue made the whole experience stress-free. She was attentive, responsible, and truly treated Ella like her own.

Lylle took exceptional care of Alpha, regularly sending me photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Lylle made the whole process effortless.

“Tiffany took amazing care of our dog Levi while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, she was incredibly caring, attentive, and thoughtful. We started with a meet and greet, which went great — Levi and her dog Noodle instantly hit it off. It was clear right away they were going to have a great time together! During Levi’s stay, Tiffany sent multiple updates every day with photos and videos of Levi playing and hanging out with Noodle. I never once had to wonder how he was doing or ask for updates because Tiffany was always proactive about keeping us in the loop. It was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was. She also took the time to understand Levi’s routine before his stay. Levi needs quiet time after meals to protect his stomach, and Tiffany made sure he had proper rest instead of playtime. She even separated Levi and Noodle into different rooms during nap times to make sure he could relax properly. That level of care and attention really meant a lot to us. We’re so grateful for the love and care Levi received, and we would absolutely trust Tiffany to watch him again. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah, was phenomenal with our dog Cassie. She is kind, gentle and very accommodating. Sent many photos of Cassie during her stay. Always prompt on communication and keeping me in the loop at all times. I loved that Sarah was very honest in her feed back. It was an added bonus that the whole family loved Cassie and made her a part of their home and family.”
