He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”

Syed K.
“Syed is amazing with animals, big or small. He’s an incredibly calming presence and he’s personally helped me with multiple rover clients. As a member of the VCU crew team, he’s very active and wakes up early every morning (and i mean EARLY). Lazy is not in his vocabulary—Syed is legitimately one of the most active people i know. His love for animals is very apparent and any dog would be lucky to have him as a caretaker :)”
