I rest easy on vacation knowing that my dog is having her own vaction when she is with Pam. I assure you, you will not find a more loving, responsible, and compassionate caregiver on this site.”

Placitas pet parents share their Rover experiences
Fantastic dog sitter/house sitter/person! We were so glad to have found Diana. She was wonderful with our older dog and with our way too talkative and demanding Australian Kelpie. Anyone who puts up with him is great! She sent lots of updates/photos/info and we felt totally comfortable turning our house and pooches over to her. She gets 5+ stars!
