We had two last minute cancellations for sitters the week (and two days) before we were supposed to leave and she responded immediately to my request and stepped up in a big way, came over the night I initially reached out on Rover and we felt at ease right away. She took such good care of our dog, who was already a bit on edge from having just moved. She followed directions perfectly and went up and beyond with getting him active and great communication the entire trip. I can’t recommend her enough and will be definitely booking again in the future! Thanks again Kaylyn!!!”
