“We highly recommend Jessica !!! Our pup Mila stayed with Jessica and her lovely family for 4 nights. Jessica is extremely accommodating & flexible every step of the process. Jessica sends regular updates and photos. Mila was so well cared for and loved. I didn’t worry for one minute while she was in Jessicas care as she is so attentive and thinks of every detail. We will definitely be rebooking with Jessica again soon. 😊”
About: I have a remote job for a tech company which means that your dog will never be left alone and can go outside or play with me whenever they like. I can easily adapt when I walk them based on their usual routines from early mornings till late evening, as well as multiple times a day. I want to dog sit mainly because I work remotely, my partner Alex works full time in Rugby so most of the day I am alone so I would adore some dog company! I would one day love to have a dog of my own, but as I have recently finished my Masters degree, started my career and bought a house that is still a few years away. My family dog Amber lives with my parents so I miss her terribly! Every dog I would look after would get the same love and care I would give her. I also spend a lot of time with my boyfriend’s family’s three Jack Russels, and having grown up in a village full of dogs who we often looked after growing up, I am very comfortable with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels including the really high energy ones. My home is in a quiet village with a fully dog proofed garden (chicken wire has been nailed to the open fence) that overlooks the fields. There is a dog park opposite where the dog can also be let of the lead for a good run around, as well as lots of good walks nearby. Even though I am new to this app I am setting my years of experience to when my family first got Amber which was 10 years ago as I have been looking after her so much in that time, as well as looking after different dogs in the village for either the day or for a week at a time. As I work remotely I can take my breaks and lunch whenever is needed for your dog. I am up early morning a few hours before work if they need a good walk in there as well. I have a fenced garden and can keep watch of them at all times to make sure they are safe and happy. I can adapt their living based on what they have at home: I can put a baby gate up if they are usually not allowed upstairs, or allow them or not onto furniture depending on your preferences as well. I also have a dog seatbelt for the car if they prefer to go to a certain park or need to be driven anywhere for any reason.
“Emily was lovely and so kind to Dali, she definitely understands the dog world :) her two lovely pups are so cute as well and special thanks to her daugter Elizabeth for having fun time with Dali :) lovely to meet them!”
“Rey and Suki (huskies) have just spent a full day/night with Angela. Both dogs made themselves at home the moment they stepped through the door and I felt very comfortable and at ease leaving them both. We received lots of lovely photos and updates throughout the day of what they were up to. I will definitely be asking Angela to look after the dogs again in the very near future 🐾❤️🐾”
“Emily was excellent, great communication sending us photos and updates. She really put us at ease about leaving our dog for the first time with a sitter. We will definitely be using Emily again and lola loved her time there.”
“Fantastic stay! Joe has been fantastic from first contact. Really easy contact amd arrangements. Joe has been so accommodating and my dog, Pinkman, clearly loves staying there! Joe sent lovely photos and videos of our dog very happy in his stay, playing and snoozing like a home from home.”
“My boy Everest stayed with Alice and her partner for one night and quickly became buddies with Alice’s dog Winston. They took great care of my 7 month old puppy and we’ll most definitely be using Alice again. Thanks so much for treating Everest like your own!”
“We left our Golden Retriever Bertie with Kristy for a couple days while traveling and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Communication was great, Bertie was very well looked after and had lots of fun with Teddy. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time using Craig and it was an amazing experience. I felt at ease leaving rose with them and getting updates while we were away was really nice. She seemed to enjoy her little holiday to playing with the 2 boys. Thanks again for watching our girl”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Emily and Paul. This was the first time we’d ever left our dog, Zulu, with anyone, so we were naturally a little anxious. From the very beginning they were fantastic, even taking the time to meet us beforehand so we could get to know them and introduce Zulu to them and their own dog. Throughout his stay they kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear they genuinely cared about making sure Zulu felt comfortable, settled and happy, and they did everything they could to make the whole experience as stress free as possible for both him and us. We came home with a very happy dog and couldn’t be more grateful for the care they gave him. We’d recommend Emily and Paul without hesitation and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both for looking after Zulu so well!”
About: My wife and I both grew up with dogs, we've had our own for over 3 years now. We've been sitting dogs via rover for over two years now. We like to take our dogs for a long morning walk, around 5km and a shorter afternoon walk to make sure they're well exercised. My partner and I work mostly remote, there is always one of us at home so we are very flexible with sitting and walking dogs. We have a dog of our own, we always like to have a short introduction first to ensure they get on (we haven't had any rejections yet!). We always walk the dogs at least twice a day: a long walk in the morning and a shorter walk in the afternoon. We have a fenced garden with lawn area for the dogs to sunbath and run around in.
“We would give six gold stars if we could! Duchess loves her holidays with Bobbie and Gary, who go above and beyond to make their canine guests feel at home, comfortable, and safe. We're lucky to have found them.”

“Lisa visited before our trip away and made us feel very happy leaving Rhino in her care. She made sure we felt completely at ease with lovely photos and detail on her time with him. Really happy with the lovely service, hope we will be able to use Lisa again. When we arrived home he was also very happy and comfortable. Thank you.”

Yoshi is always happy when I see him, food and water is topped up and she even sees to my plant. I am very grateful to have such a great cat sitter to look after my precious boy when I'm away.”
“Sian was amazing, we are very grateful to her for taking such wonderful care of our two cats. She used the drop in logging and visit report features really well, so we felt really well informed, and her communication was excellent. When we got home the cats weren’t bothered, which must be a sign of how well looked after they felt 😂 thanks again Sian!”
About: I have always grown up with cats and have previously been relied on to look after their cats. I have currently have a cat named Bruno who I would say is slightly crazy and has prepared me for many scenarios
About: PLEASE NOTE: I am only offering boarding and day care in the dog owners home, in effect, I would also be house sitting for the dog owner. PLEASE NOTE: Unfortunately I don't drive and can only take requests from dog owners who live near a bus route or train station. I have always had an affinity with dogs; or rather they have an affinity with me! Dogs I have never met before always bound up to me and want to play! I have a very calm and patient personality which I think dogs pick up on. This in turn calms them and makes them feel comfortable. I am also an artist and a lover of the outdoors, which means I am always aware of my surroundings, taking in information that could inform my art as well as the surroundings the dog is in - I take my time whilst walking dogs as it's important for them to explore the environment they are most comfortable in - the outdoors. I work part-time so I will be able to work round people's individual needs. I will block off on my calendar when I am unavailable I always follow sitters specific instructions regarding how well their dogs are around other people, other dogs and stick to specific areas permitted by the owner.

My husband having rescued a feral kitten we also have experience in cats of a nervous and anxious disposition. Using medications and room scents etc to keep them calm.
About: 🐾 I have been around dogs my whole life 🐾 Our current dog is a Cockerpoo who we have had since being a puppy, so we are used to caring for dogs of all ages with their own needs and requirements. From playful pups to wise old tails, each furry friend brings a unique spark of joy!

About: I have experience of very large houses in the UK/USA and complex multi-pet sits along with medicines and would be sensitive to your dogs needs and optionally enjoy running which my dog-sit-dogs love about me. I have managed two huge black labs and even walked them at the same time. So energy/size is fine. We've also managed both very old dogs (with associated issues/meds) and rescue dogs (with their unique issues) and have references to that. I think it is a good match as I am home all the time (mostly retired). For a pet sit I am a HIIT sprinter which the dogs love as it is exciting to take them out and run about. For cats I like to hide small water bowls around the place as I find they enjoy the surprise. I'm part retired and a home worker; for play and security. I'm very physically active and enthusiastic about your pet getting out also each day. I'm part retired and a home worker; for play and security. I'm very physically active and enthusiastic about your pet getting out also each day.
About: I’ve had cats in the house as long as I can remember really!! I feel I’m a patient and trustworthy cat friend! I understand that some cats take time or need space but I love them no matter the personality!
About: I am 18 years old and have grown up with pets my whole life. I have access to a car and a full clean drivers license and therefore due to my love of animals decided a fun way to make some money before travelling with my friends next year would be to pet sit. I have pet sat in the past for friends, family and people who live in my village near bicester. I have previously looked after cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and dogs as well as having previously owned two hamsters and a labrador. I am confident around all animals and pets, big or small and I am currently at home doing temporary work and therefore am around and available to pet sit. I offer dog walks and home visits.

“Rita our border terrier enjoyed her stay with Annabelle. Annabelle was reliable and responsive in her contacts, and allowed us a quick preliminary visit to help settle Rita. We had photos of her stay and Rita was looked after as if their own. Thank you so much.”
“Thank you so much Alex for looking after Rufus! Alex kept in regular contact with me throughout the day with pupdates (?). I am a o appreciative of being able to leave our dog with someone who is clearly incredibly caring and left me knowing that Rufus was in very safe hands. Rufus was so happy that he wasn’t that fussed to see me when I picked him up ? 10/10 thanks Alex and see you soon ?”

“Isabella took really good care of my rescue Golden Retriever. He was a bit shy the first day but went in full happy energetic mode the next day.

Even though the stay ended up being shorter than planned because the dogs didn’t quite get along, she handled everything with kindness, empathy, and great communication. I really appreciated how thoughtful and caring she was, and it’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. Thank you so much, Alice!”
“Amanda has looked after my dog (Ethel 9 months) several times now as day care and is a star. Each time my dog has left the car excitedly wagging her tail on the way to her house and has zoomed in eagerly. She always has a lovely walk and enjoys spending time with Amanda’s chihuahuas playing around. When booking she is quick to respond and takes an active interest in the needs of the dog. During the day, Amanda sends photos and updates which helps make me feel reassured that Ethel is having a great day.”

“I cannot recommend Emily highly enough! From the moment she met Gatsby, it was clear she has a genuine gift for working with dogs. Her expertise as both a walker and trainer has been transformative for us. Emily's professionalism is matched only by her warmth and dedication. She treats Gatsby like her own, and you can see the bond they've developed. Every walk is an adventure, and Gatsby comes home happy, exercised, and content. What truly sets Emily apart is her communication. She provides regular updates, shares photos, and genuinely cares about Gatsby's wellbeing and progress. I have complete peace of mind knowing he's in her capable hands. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog as much as you do while providing exceptional care and training, Emily is the one. Gatsby and I are so grateful to have found her!”
About: I have been walking and looking after pets for the last 4 years or so. I really enjoying walking dogs, spending time with them and learning about their different personalities. I’m well equipped for dogs with behavioural issues. I have 2 dogs and a cat aswell as Guinea pigs and hamsters previously. I have it listed on here that I don’t own any dogs, this is because they are not currently living at the home in London and are at my mum house in Oxfordshire. I can look after senior dogs and can administer medication. My schedule can be quite flexible however I am dipping in and out of shifts and different places. I am however mostly available. I am taking a year out before going to Bristol next September I live near big fields and also have sufficient land so will take the pet on multiple walks a day. I have 2 dogs at home, a 4 year old female cocker spaniel and a 1 year old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.

About: Hi, I’m Lucy - a reliable and experienced dog lover based in Charlbury 🐾 I provide a calm, home-from-home environment for dogs, where they are treated like part of the family. I live in a spacious home on the edge of Charlbury, surrounded by beautiful countryside walks, and I have a very flexible schedule so your dog will get plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up around my dad’s work as a police dog handler and trainer, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve also raised my own dogs from puppies and have experience with senior dogs, so I understand the different needs they may have. At home currently, I have two friendly and well-socialised dogs: • Kobe, a 5 year old cockapoo, who is calm, gentle, and very relaxed • Ovie, a 1 year old toy poodle, who is playful, friendly, and loves other dogs Both are great with other dogs and have spent plenty of time around dogs of all sizes, ages and many different temperaments. Your dog will be cared for in a relaxed household setting, with: • Daily walks (morning and afternoon) • Lots of attention and companionship throughout the day • Comfortable and flexible sleeping arrangements (crates available if preferred) • The option to socialise or have their own space if needed We also have a secure patio garden and a fully sectioned home, so I can easily adapt the environment depending on your dog’s needs and personality. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages to give you peace of mind. I’d love to meet you and your dog so feel free to get in touch! 🐶🩷 I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give dogs plenty of time, attention, and supervision throughout the day. My own dogs are walked every morning and at least once again in the afternoon, with a mix of longer countryside walks and shorter outings depending on their needs. Dogs staying with me are included in this routine and are rarely left alone or can be supervised at all times if required, making this ideal for dogs who enjoy company and a home environment. I provide a safe, calm, and home-from-home environment where dogs are treated as part of the family. I live in a spacious home with plenty of room to relax, and I can easily section areas of the house if a dog needs their own space. I have two very friendly, well-socialised dogs, and I always introduce dogs carefully to make sure everyone is comfortable. We have a secure patio garden for outdoor time, and we’re surrounded by beautiful countryside walks. Dogs are walked at least twice daily, with a mix of longer and shorter walks depending on their needs. I’m happy to walk dogs on or off lead (with owner consent), depending on their recall, temperament, and what they’re used to. All walks are done with safety as the top priority. I also have access to nearby secure dog fields, which are a great option for safe, enclosed off-lead exercise and playtime, particularly for dogs who enjoy more freedom or need a secure space for a good run around. I have experience with dogs of all ages and temperaments, and I’m confident adapting care to suit each dog’s individual needs. Crates can be provided if preferred. We also have a very calm, elderly cat who keeps to himself and has his own space away from the dogs. I’m always happy to provide regular updates, photos, and messages so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
About: Hi, I'm Kirstie, thank you for looking at my profile! I have owned animals my whole life, we are definitely a family of animal lovers! At the moment we have eight cats, Joey, Lacie, Dynamo, Kurt, Saxon, Mini Big, Ginge and Gus, two long haired and the rest short haired. They all have their own unique personalities, but mostly have one thing in common, they love a fuss and a cuddle! We do have one cat who has her 'boundaries' and so I am used to those cats who prefer their own space! I could think of nothing better than spending my days getting to fuss over lots of different animals, cats are my first love but I have a soft spot for all animals 🥰 This is my full time job so I have plenty of availability! I work to their routine, in every way. They become family to me! I work to you and your pets routine, feeding times, walk times, where they sleep etc. Pets prefer to stay in their own homes, and I will do everything I can to make sure they feel at home with me.
About: Finding someone you trust with your pets isn’t always easy. especially if your dog is reactive, nervous, or has behavioural challenges. As someone who owns a reactive dog myself, I truly understand how difficult it can be to find someone you feel comfortable leaving them with. The worry, the guilt, and the fear that they’ll be misunderstood is something I’ve experienced too. That’s why one of my favourite parts of pet sitting is building a genuine relationship with both you and your pet. I love taking the time to earn your pet’s trust, learn their personality, and create a bond where they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. At the same time, I want you to feel just as confident, knowing your pet is being cared for by someone who genuinely understands and treats them like family. Whether your pet is reactive, nervous, full of confidence, or somewhere in between, I always adapt my care to suit their individual needs. Every pet deserves patience, kindness, and understanding. Thank you for trusting me with your four-legged family members and I can’t wait to meet you all. i am currently coming out of a kennel job to try and fulfill my dream of having my own walking and sitting business, i would love to be the one you pick and trust i am knowledgeable on all breeds and behaviours, working with anxious, aggressive and resource guarding dogs at work, my dog at home is also people and dog reactive so i know the struggle of taking them on walks or trying to get care
About: I have looked after people's animals for as long as I can remember. Feeding them, walking them, changing their bedding when needed :) I will love your animals like I love my own!

I have always had animals in the house and can't wait to meet yours 🥰 I am currently home educating my daughter which means I can be available for you and your furry family night and day :) just let me know! I will make sure your animals are always safe and secure with me. I am happy to take them on walks, feed them or even just sit and give them some company.

Whether it’s puppy training or cozying up with a senior buddy, every moment is filled with wagging tails and slobbery kisses! 🐶❤️ During the week, I work from home, which means I'm super flexible! 🐶✨ Check out my availability calendar to see when I can hang out with your adorable doggie! 🐾 We have a decent sized garden, so there’s plenty of space for your doggie to have zoomies! 🐕💨 Our dog, Arthur the Cockerpoo, is super friendly with other dogs and loves to play. Bring your fur baby over for some tail-wagging fun! 🐾
About: With a heart full of passion for animals and extensive pet sitting experience, I bring a unique touch to caregiving. Each tail, purr, or chirp is met with genuine joy and personalised attention, ensuring your pets not only receive care but also companionship that sets my services apart. Your furry family members deserve the utmost love and I'm here to deliver just that. While working night shifts , I am flexible throughout the day to fit your pets needs. My days off from work are usually Mondays and Tuesdays. Providing an stress-free environment for your pets is my top priority. By caring for them in the familiarity of their own home, I ensure a seamless routine, minimising anxiety. From cozy nap spots to favourite play areas, I tailor my care to match their preference. This approach not only maintains their well-being but also fosters a sense of security, making their time away from you as comfortable happy as possible.
About: I have had dogs as family pets all my life. I have learnt and read a lot about dog training and dog care. I have experience with little dogs and medium to large dogs. I work from home all week and have a flexible schedule meaning that I can be about all day to look after you lovely dogs. Good long walk every day (breed depending), taken out regularly into the garden, for play & loo breaks. They will be watched closely in the garden.

Plus I am a very active guy alot of energy and I feel dog walking / animal sitting would be a great job as looking after animals can be really rewarding and great fun too. Plus I always put 100% in to what I do and I'm a very organised and punctual guy as well as self motivated too and I always throught about doing this sort of job and feel that it is the right time to go for it as I do enjoy it and look forward to something I enjoy . I'm am currently working part-time but still have plenty of time to look after your pets and it's one of the best things I really enjoy meeting and looking after new animals but I always make my weekly routine fit around things I offer many services such as boarding, pop in's and walks and I would care for any pet as if they were my own as looking after animals is a great and really enjoy it Pet care fits into my daily/weekly routine as I am looking after dogs through out the year and I try and give them the best visit possible. So they will wanna come back again and again. I have a fenced garden, which is lovely with plenty of space. Plus I make sure I have all information I need to take care of them properly in there stay at the house or so I can look after them at their house.

“We highly recommend Jessica !!! Our pup Mila stayed with Jessica and her lovely family for 4 nights. Jessica is extremely accommodating & flexible every step of the process. Jessica sends regular updates and photos. Mila was so well cared for and loved. I didn’t worry for one minute while she was in Jessicas care as she is so attentive and thinks of every detail. We will definitely be rebooking with Jessica again soon. 😊”
About: I have a remote job for a tech company which means that your dog will never be left alone and can go outside or play with me whenever they like. I can easily adapt when I walk them based on their usual routines from early mornings till late evening, as well as multiple times a day. I want to dog sit mainly because I work remotely, my partner Alex works full time in Rugby so most of the day I am alone so I would adore some dog company! I would one day love to have a dog of my own, but as I have recently finished my Masters degree, started my career and bought a house that is still a few years away. My family dog Amber lives with my parents so I miss her terribly! Every dog I would look after would get the same love and care I would give her. I also spend a lot of time with my boyfriend’s family’s three Jack Russels, and having grown up in a village full of dogs who we often looked after growing up, I am very comfortable with different breeds, temperaments and energy levels including the really high energy ones. My home is in a quiet village with a fully dog proofed garden (chicken wire has been nailed to the open fence) that overlooks the fields. There is a dog park opposite where the dog can also be let of the lead for a good run around, as well as lots of good walks nearby. Even though I am new to this app I am setting my years of experience to when my family first got Amber which was 10 years ago as I have been looking after her so much in that time, as well as looking after different dogs in the village for either the day or for a week at a time. As I work remotely I can take my breaks and lunch whenever is needed for your dog. I am up early morning a few hours before work if they need a good walk in there as well. I have a fenced garden and can keep watch of them at all times to make sure they are safe and happy. I can adapt their living based on what they have at home: I can put a baby gate up if they are usually not allowed upstairs, or allow them or not onto furniture depending on your preferences as well. I also have a dog seatbelt for the car if they prefer to go to a certain park or need to be driven anywhere for any reason.
“Rey and Suki (huskies) have just spent a full day/night with Angela. Both dogs made themselves at home the moment they stepped through the door and I felt very comfortable and at ease leaving them both. We received lots of lovely photos and updates throughout the day of what they were up to. I will definitely be asking Angela to look after the dogs again in the very near future 🐾❤️🐾”
“Emily was excellent, great communication sending us photos and updates. She really put us at ease about leaving our dog for the first time with a sitter. We will definitely be using Emily again and lola loved her time there.”
“Fantastic stay! Joe has been fantastic from first contact. Really easy contact amd arrangements. Joe has been so accommodating and my dog, Pinkman, clearly loves staying there! Joe sent lovely photos and videos of our dog very happy in his stay, playing and snoozing like a home from home.”
“We left our Golden Retriever Bertie with Kristy for a couple days while traveling and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Communication was great, Bertie was very well looked after and had lots of fun with Teddy. Highly recommended!”
“This was our first time using Craig and it was an amazing experience. I felt at ease leaving rose with them and getting updates while we were away was really nice. She seemed to enjoy her little holiday to playing with the 2 boys. Thanks again for watching our girl”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Emily and Paul. This was the first time we’d ever left our dog, Zulu, with anyone, so we were naturally a little anxious. From the very beginning they were fantastic, even taking the time to meet us beforehand so we could get to know them and introduce Zulu to them and their own dog. Throughout his stay they kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear they genuinely cared about making sure Zulu felt comfortable, settled and happy, and they did everything they could to make the whole experience as stress free as possible for both him and us. We came home with a very happy dog and couldn’t be more grateful for the care they gave him. We’d recommend Emily and Paul without hesitation and will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both for looking after Zulu so well!”
About: My wife and I both grew up with dogs, we've had our own for over 3 years now. We've been sitting dogs via rover for over two years now. We like to take our dogs for a long morning walk, around 5km and a shorter afternoon walk to make sure they're well exercised. My partner and I work mostly remote, there is always one of us at home so we are very flexible with sitting and walking dogs. We have a dog of our own, we always like to have a short introduction first to ensure they get on (we haven't had any rejections yet!). We always walk the dogs at least twice a day: a long walk in the morning and a shorter walk in the afternoon. We have a fenced garden with lawn area for the dogs to sunbath and run around in.
“We would give six gold stars if we could! Duchess loves her holidays with Bobbie and Gary, who go above and beyond to make their canine guests feel at home, comfortable, and safe. We're lucky to have found them.”
“Joanna was fantastic, very good communication and wonderful with our dog Moyo. Moyo is naturally quite nervous and Joanna handled this very well prioritising making him comfortable and at home. He has come home happy and more confident. She is flexible. Great sitter, thank you!”
“Our Pup Mila stayed with Samantha for 4 nights recently. Samantha is very warm and welcoming. Very knowledgeable about dogs with helpful advice. Attentive to Mila and all her needs. Samantha updates are amazing. A lot of videos and photos sent - which I really appreciate and enjoy receiving. Contact with Samantha was immediate. The whole process starting with a meet and greet is organised and accomodating. Mila settled well with Samantha and her lovely pack of pups. We will definitely book with Samantha again.”
“Thank you so much Klaudia for taking such great care of Stormy while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I really appreciate all the attention, care, and affection you gave him. Thanks again for everything, you've been wonderful, and I'm sure Stormy enjoyed his time with you! He will definitely return when we need to go away again.”
About: I have been walking and looking after pets for the last 4 years or so. I really enjoying walking dogs, spending time with them and learning about their different personalities. I’m well equipped for dogs with behavioural issues. I have 2 dogs and a cat aswell as Guinea pigs and hamsters previously. I have it listed on here that I don’t own any dogs, this is because they are not currently living at the home in London and are at my mum house in Oxfordshire. I can look after senior dogs and can administer medication. My schedule can be quite flexible however I am dipping in and out of shifts and different places. I am however mostly available. I am taking a year out before going to Bristol next September I live near big fields and also have sufficient land so will take the pet on multiple walks a day. I have 2 dogs at home, a 4 year old female cocker spaniel and a 1 year old female jack Russell puppy. They are both good with dogs and other animals.
“Betsy was in good hands with Silma and her family. They were patient and understanding and Betsy seemed happy and at ease! Communication was great. I wouldn't hesitate to leave her with Silma again.”
