“Harley is simply awesome. We have two elderly, special-needs dogs, and because of this, we haven't left for a vacation trip in years. A worker at the vet's office recommended Harley, so I contacted her and she came to meet our pair. Harley's demeanor is calm and compassionate. She has lots of experience with animals, including those taking medications. Of course I was still worried about taking the trip, but Harley is a great communicator who texted information and photos while we were gone for 3 days/nights. It was a huge relief to see Pippi and Boone bonding with Harley. She loved them like they were her own. I highly recommend her.”
About: I've cared for pets at a boarding facility and have even assisted with grooming and walking at a shelter for some time. It's a pleasure to provide the best care for my clients beloved pets! I have full availability weekdays and weekends! I have lots of time for walks, care and playtime. I also will be available to take dogs to the nearby dog park upon request. I have decent sized front & backyard. I have 4 friendly cats. I also have an older female dog who is spayed and well behaved. She can be kept separated from other pets, but is not typically aggressive toward cats or other dogs.

Hayward pet parents share their Rover experiences
Harley took great care of our animals while we were away. It is always very hard for me to trust my dogs to another's care. However, immediately after meeting her, I felt my dogs were in very good hands, Our flight home was delayed and Harley offered to stay longer just so the dogs weren't left alone. I thought that was very sweet. The next time I travel, I won't hesitate to book with Harley again.
