“Amiee was great, from the first meeting to actually booking the stay. Marley was a little nervous at first, Amiee was very patient with Marley as she soon calmed down and began to settle in. Amiee was flexible with her time very accommodating, communicated with me via text and pics. Marley was cared for just like her own, there was plenty of room for her to run and play around the yard. Yes! I would recommend and rebook with Amiee anytime.”
“Kristi is phenomenal! She took my babies in last minute. She gave them their own huge room with a ginormous cat tree. They were extremely comfortable and had no stress whatsoever. She cared for them as I would, I have no doubt they were comfortable in their home away from home. I never worried about their food or their environment. I would most certainly recommend her and use her again a million times over. Thank you for everything Kristi!!!”
“I left my fur baby with Christopher and Sore for the weekend and after making my reservation, I realized that I had forgotten about my flight being at the Atlanta airport and the hour difference, so needless to say I had move my drop off time up.They were completely accommodating. Once meeting Sore I felt completely at ease, leaving cowboy with them.. I received updates, with pictures every day to see my boy was doing fine. I definitely would rely on their service again in the future..”
“Madison was absolutely AMAZING with Harley. He was loved, well cared for and extremely happy with her and her family. Madison took great care to keep me posted on how Harley was doing. The daily pictures, videos and contact was excellent and gave me great peace while I was on a two-week trip without him. I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”
“Holly watched our little 8 month old schnauzer for 3 days. Our pup hadn't been around any dogs or people and we thought she might be a handful. Holly took great care of her and made her feel like it was her home away from home. We will definitely use Holly again when the need arises and highly recommend her as a dog sitter !”
“Lesley is amazing! My dachshund, Elli, had the best time with her. Her dog Scarlett is the sweetest, they cuddled the whole time. Lesley gave me so many updates and has a perfect setup.”
About: I’ve had dogs throughout my entire life, but currently I have a 7 year old golden retriever I treat like my child! I’ve always trained all of my dogs myself and participated in many safety training classes regarding training. I am currently in graduate school and unemployed, so mostly it’s just me and my golden at home most days, so I have plenty of spare time to help in your pet’s care! I am open to boarding and house sitting, but also happy to do drop-ins or just walks! I have a big fenced in yard and a sweet golden who loves making new friends to keep your pup company! I have plenty of room to crate your dog if needed.
“If you are looking for the best person/place for your fur baby look no further! I don’t think I will ever go to anyone else unless Jessica is unavailable. She was awesome with our 11 month old German Shepherd. He came home so happy and I could tell he had an amazing staycation! She communicated with me throughout the stay. She even sent pics! Amazing amazing amazing!!!!”
About: If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and bring a level of professionalism and medical awareness most sitters simply don’t have, I’m your person. As a registered nurse, I’m trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior, respond calmly in emergencies, and confidently administer medications or follow detailed care plans. I’m also a proud dog mom to two golden retrievers, so I understand firsthand the energy, affection, and attention dogs need to truly thrive—not just get by. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds with different temperaments and needs, and I helped foster six puppies in high school, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. Your dog won’t just be supervised—they’ll be genuinely cared for, understood, and treated like family in a safe, loving environment you can feel completely confident about. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because as a nurse, I only work three days a week, which gives me four full days dedicated to being home and fully present. On my days off, I have complete flexibility for walks, drop-ins, boarding, playtime, and sticking closely to your dog’s normal routine. Even on the days I do work, my schedule is predictable, allowing me to plan dependable care and maintain consistency. Nursing has made me highly organized and intentional with my time, so pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I thoughtfully plan for. Your pet would receive focused, reliable attention from someone whose schedule truly allows for it. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They receive structured playtime, regular potty breaks, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I’m mindful of maintaining their normal feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any medical needs, and as a nurse, I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Safety is always a priority, and I create a calm, supervised environment where dogs can feel secure and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding guidelines, medications, crate routines, or preferred walking routes. I spend quality time with them beyond the basics—playing, cuddling, and providing companionship—so they don’t just feel “checked on,” but genuinely cared for. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away.
“Ronda and her husband Dave are AMAZING! I have never left Lucie with anyone before and was nervous to do so but I could not have asked for a better sitter. Lucie has had some anxiety problems lately but she was so spoiled and loved throughout her stay. Ronda made sure to keep me up to date throughout her stay and sent a bunch of pictures of her being spoiled. I am definitely going to ronda again for boarding and doggy day care. I have no problem recommending her to ANYONE who needs a sitter. Thank you so much for making mine and Lucies first experience an enjoyable one.”
“David and his wife are the best! Upon meeting them we knew our dogs would be treated like family with them. We were gone for an entire week and left both dogs with David and knew they were there n good hands. I got pictures of them on the couch being spoiled all week long. Our pups are worn out, thanks David!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
“Cody was awesome! We did a meetup before boarding where we were able to have our dogs meet and chat. Cody was great about sending pictures and updating us on how our pet was doing. Upon pickup, we could really tell how much our dog enjoyed staying with Cody. I highly recommend him and will definitely book him again.”
“Did a great job with our crazy Milo! He watched Milo for the weekend while I was out of town and sent pictures and updates! He helped us out tremendously at the last minute by watching him for those few days! He also has a puppy that Milo seemed to thoroughly enjoy playing with!”
About: I currently work with a local rescue and have worked with rescues for two years now due to my love for animals! I foster dogs of any age as well. I am currently a stay at home mom so I would be able to spend endless amounts of time with your babies!! I have two small children as well who are well versed with dogs and are used to being around them. I have one furry baby of my own and almost always have a foster dog in my home as well. Your pet is welcome to stay in our home the same as they do in yours, whether that’s crated at night, on their dog bed, etc.
About: I have had multiple dogs for decades. Dogs just seem to love me. I guess it's because they can tell I love them so much. I'm really good at taking care of things for your dog. I love walking them and playing. I don't even mind picking up the poop. I'm currently working part-time as a house cleaner. So I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of fur babies. Evenings and weekends are almost always open. I treat all dogs with kindness and respect. I would want others to take care of my babies that way. I always double check the food and water. If there are extra things needed, I make sure to get those done as well.

“Elizabeth has become one of my cats' favorite people in the time she has taken care of them. They are happy to see her, and best of all, well-taken-care-of. She has great attention to detail, and is an excellent communicator. I would use her for my fur-babies any time; I can't recommend her enough.”

About: I first fell in love with cats when I was a little girl. I have a pit bull and Labrador , and the rest is history. I believe my calm demeanor puts most cats at ease, even the ones I have been told are shy around new people. Even though I grew up with dogs, cats now have a special place in my heart and I adore caring for them. I now have my own cat thanks to the Cat Distribution System named shadow
“Sarina was incredible! She was so thoughtful! I never dreamed I'd be able to find someone who took their pet-sitting job as serious as she does! She sent me very in-depth updates after each visit, as well as pictures of their interractions together. She told me how he responded to each of his various toys, what she did to engage him and how he responded, and some funny anecdotes about his overall silliness! I felt very well informed during my entire trip away. I will DEFINITELY be rebooking with Sarina! I was able to feel at ease even though I was miles away from my baby. I'm so glad I found her!!”

About: With over a decade of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and sizes, I bring a calm, reliable presence your pup can trust. I’ve spent the last 3 years training dogs and currently foster for GSP Rescue in the Southeast—successfully placing pups in loving homes. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, structure, or a little extra patience, I’ve got you covered! I currently work a flexible schedule where I can block off specific times if needed. My husband is home during the week and gone several weekends, but when we are in town we both love to take the pups on rides in the car (if they enjoy it). We love to get out and walk or take Remy for a drive to get coffee and pup cups. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac with peaceful neighbors. We have a completely fenced in yard with about .3 acres of area to sniff and dig. (yes, we let them dig) We love to spoil with cuddles and toys and treats. Structure time with toys and training time will always be a part of our care too. I have 3+ years training our dog and believe in short training sessions regardless of knowledge level.

About: As a husband and wife team, your pet gets double the love and supervision. We’re attentive, patient, and committed to following your pet’s routine the best we can to make them feel comfortable, just like at home My wife Sore works from home, so she’s here most days. You can be at peace knowing your pet(s) will get lots of attention, cuddles, potty breaks, and playtime! We have a big fenced yard for security and a nice deck for sunbathing! There’s plenty of room for exercise, if your pup enjoys the outdoors.
About: My Boarding Policies: I want every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me, so these guidelines help keep things running smoothly for everyone. 💬 Meet & Greet I always do a quick meet & greet for new clients so I can get to know your pup’s personality and make sure we’re a great fit! I will need an emergency contact and vet reference. (Last minute bookings happen, I am willing to work around this for this purpose, just reach out to me) 💉 Health & Vaccinations For everyone’s safety, all dogs should be up to date on rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella. Please also make sure your pup is free of fleas/ticks and not showing signs of illness. ⏰ Drop-Off & Pick-Up I’m flexible, but I try to keep drop-offs and pick-ups within agreed time windows so the day stays smooth and predictable for the dogs. If you’re running late, no worries — just let me know! If at any point I can not get ahold of you, this will result in me reaching out to Rover Support or possibly Animal Control (depending on the situation) 🍽️ Food, Treats & Supplies Please bring enough food for the whole stay, plus any medication with simple instructions. If anything unexpected comes up, I’ll let you know right away. 🐾 Behavior & Comfort I welcome all sorts of personalities! I just ask that pups are: Friendly with people and other dogs Able to be crated or safely separated if needed Not showing aggression If your dog has any quirks (anxiety, chewing, reactivity, etc.), please share — it helps me give them the best care. 🩺 Safety First If a true emergency happens, I’ll contact you immediately and may take your dog to the vet if needed. Owners are responsible for any vet costs. 📸 Updates I love sending photos! Expect at least one update per day — or more if you’d like. Just tell me your preference. 📅 Cancellations & Holidays I follow Rover’s cancellation policy and keep things fair, but holiday bookings may fill up fast, so early scheduling helps! I loved animals for as long as I can remember, and pets have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and ages — from bouncy puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who just need a little extra love and patience. When your pet is with me, I’ll treat them like family. I enjoy long walks, playtime in the yard, and plenty of snuggles on the couch. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether they’re energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they deserve. I provide full-time dog care, including doggy daycare, boarding, drop-ins, and walks. When doing Drop ins or walks, if you are outside of a 5 mile radius, a small fee will have to be added for the distance traveled. Each day starts with morning walks and potty breaks, followed by supervised playtime and socialization. Midday is quiet time for rest and meals, with afternoon walks, and play. Evenings include dinner, potty breaks, and calm activities to help dogs wind down. Overnight, I monitor boarding dogs to ensure they’re safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, secure, and loving environment where your furry friend can feel at home. All interactions are supervised, and I make sure playtime is safe and stress-free. I follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, medications, or routines to ensure your pet’s well-being. I believe trust is earned, which is why I maintain open communication with owners throughout their pet’s stay or visit. You’ll receive updates, photos, and messages so you can see how your pet is doing in real-time. My home is pet-friendly, calm, and structured, offering plenty of space for exercise, rest, and fun. I strive to create a positive experience that leaves your pet happy, healthy, and eager to come back.

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our family. My Experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for friends and families. I love animals and have over a decade of experience in caring for dogs, cats, horses, mules, donkey's and pigs. Now I just have my two dogs but the are like our family. I have 5 years experience caring for elderly dog (my own) that needed special care and medications. I am currently not working any other jobs at this time and will have plenty of time to spend with you sweet fur baby or babies. I have a fenced in back yard with 2 of my own fur babies. I love spending time with them in the back yard, going for walks and playing fetch. I live close to a nature trail with a lake and love to take the dogs for walks there. We love that outside time. Inside I have room to play with toys and chill with your buddies.
“I would like to give her a rating of more than five stars. Even after taking care of my rambunctious puppy, she described her as "sweet." Moreover—despite it being our very first meeting—she listened earnestly to my various requests. She is a truly trustworthy person.”
About: I have taken care of my dog for all 8 years of his life except a little time spent with my parents. I have also watched friends dogs and family friends dogs. I am currently in school at Wallace state TWTh with the occasional Friday. So I am available Friday-Monday most of the day and TWTh after 3/3:30 I am well aware with crating. Picking up poop or any other pet messes is no problem for me at all. I love all dogs big or small and love to play
“Sarah was wonderful! She responded promptly and her home was perfect for Moose. She has a fenced yard, which I know Moose loved. He must have played with the other puppers a lot, because he slept the entire 5 hour drive back home. Thank you so much! Will definitely rebook if we are ever back in the area :)”
About: Hi! I’m Jenn — a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. I have two fur babies of my own — Moxxi, a sweet lab mix, and Obi, a gentle Staffordshire terrier mix — both rescues with big hearts and friendly personalities. I offer boarding and daycare in my home so your pets can feel safe, loved, and relaxed in their own familiar space. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and can tailor visits around your pet’s unique routine. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, medication, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll be there to care for them like one of my own. You’ll receive regular photo updates and quick responses while you’re away — I know how important peace of mind is when it comes to our furry family members. If your pet has special needs, training cues, or specific routines, I’m happy to follow them closely to help your pet feel at ease. Your fur baby will be treated with patience, love, and a little extra spoiling 🐾 My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent care throughout the day. I’m available for potty breaks, walks, check-ins, and overnight stays depending on what your pet needs. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent, their environment calm, and their safety top of mind. I always follow your instructions closely — whether it’s feeding, medications, potty breaks, or playtime — and make sure doors, gates, and crates are secure before I leave. I approach each pet with patience, respect, and lots of love, tuning into their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I aim to create a peaceful, predictable experience that helps them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. You’ll also receive regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing — because trust and communication matter just as much as belly rubs. 🐶💛
About: I have had many dogs and cats over the years and love them immensely. They are my babies . I will care for your pets just like they are my very own. I love their personalities and the bonds we make. I am happy to be able to give a family peace of mind when they have to be away. My husband of 30 years and I are empty nesters now and he is my pet “backup” person. He enjoys them as much as I do and if he needs to pop in to cover one of my visits we will communicate that. All my clients end up being part of the family! I love getting updates and enjoy all my time with them! I owned a small business for 20 years and my two children are away at college now. I enjoy doing Rover and showing care to other peoples pets. It has helped fill the time with their absence and my clients are also my babies. I currently have a 5 yr old dog and a senior dog in my home. My long time cat passed away last fall. I can do daily checks on pets in your home and dog walk.

“First time using Rover! Brittany was awesome.

Excellent in every way! I will use Brittany again!! She is very responsible, trustworthy and competent.”
About: I’m an animal lover and enthusiast who has grown up taking care of all types of pets and worked in the veterinary medicine industry since I was 17 years old. I’m comfortable with pets of all kinds, and because of my job I am comfortable administering medication of all types, including injections. I’m also very willing to work with the more “troublesome” pets. I’m currently in school getting my veterinary technician certification and need help making some extra money on the side. I hope you consider me to take care of and love your fur babies❤️ I currently work part time at a vet clinic and my Classes are usually done by early afternoon so I will have more than enough time to take care of your fur babies as needed. With my working background I am comfortable with any food restrictions, medications, walking, crating, and care your pet may need to be happy and comfortable. I will make sure to give meds, food, and specific care instructions extra attention as needed.
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for over a decade, and in animal rescue before that. I grew up in a household with an array of pets- birds, rodents, fish, dogs, cats, rabbits- and have had dogs, cats, and a chicken on my own. Even in college, I had a pet fish because I missed having a critter companion! I love senior pets (the oldies are the goodies), pets with disabilities, one eye, no teeth, etc. I provide pet sitting in your home (no overnights), so your pets can stay where they are most comfortable! I am conscious about locking up your home, sending an update and/or photo of your pet, and following your instructions for your pet’s care. I can let dogs out in your own yard, or we can take a walk around the block. I will spend some time cuddling or playing with your cats (if they like company!). **Feel free to message me with any questions if there is something missing on my profile, or if you would like to verify specific dates or pet care services. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I am typically available over holidays and weekends. I can accommodate once a day visits, and sometimes can come by twice a day. I double check that all pets are accounted for prior to leaving your home - and will notify you if I did not see a pet during my visit. Since cats are super adept at hiding, I like to know their typical hangout spots before you leave so that I can look for them there. I verify that I have secured my entrance/exit points and will send photos or videos locking up so that you can also share this peace of mind.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. Growing up, I was the go-to person in my family for all things animal care. In 2019, I adopted the first animal of my own, a Goldendoodle named Cooper. After adopting him my love for animals grew tenfold and I decided animal care is my passion. Since then we have also adopted a Poodle named Callie and two tabby cats named Oliver & Kevin. The love I have for these animals is just indescribable and it’s what made me want to dive into pet care and make this my everyday job. Animals are my true passion and I dream of one day owning my own boarding and daycare facility.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I don’t just “watch” your pets—I care for them like they’re my own. With years of hands-on pet sitting experience, I focus on building real trust with both pets and their owners so you can feel confident while you’re away. I’ve trained several puppies and understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need, and I also have experience caring for senior pets and their specific needs—whether that’s slower routines, extra comfort, or medication reminders. I pay attention to the little things—your pet’s habits, personality, and favorite routines—so they feel safe, loved, and right at home. My goal is simple: spoiled pets and completely stress-free owners. I’m currently building my life coaching business, which only requires about 2–3 hours of work per day—and it’s all done from my laptop. Because of this, I’m home and available most of the time, which allows me to give your pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m available for drop-ins, boarding, house sitting, and overnight care as needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, I have a fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play safely and get fresh air. I also have an extremely loving 3-year-old cat who is very friendly, gentle, and used to being around other animals. I tailor care to each pet’s needs and personality. For larger dogs who need extra exercise and stimulation, I provide fun, exercise-based games and active playtime to keep them happy and engaged. For smaller dogs—or pets who simply want more affection—I’m always happy to slow things down with snuggles, lap time, and relaxing together (TV time included!). If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I make sure to follow their normal routines closely so they feel safe, secure, and stress-free while you’re away. My goal is to create a loving, calm environment wherever your pet is staying.

We do at least one walk a day weather permitting and if we are unable to go outside we play fetch indoors and do brain stimulating activities.

“Amiee was great, from the first meeting to actually booking the stay. Marley was a little nervous at first, Amiee was very patient with Marley as she soon calmed down and began to settle in. Amiee was flexible with her time very accommodating, communicated with me via text and pics. Marley was cared for just like her own, there was plenty of room for her to run and play around the yard. Yes! I would recommend and rebook with Amiee anytime.”
“Kristi is phenomenal! She took my babies in last minute. She gave them their own huge room with a ginormous cat tree. They were extremely comfortable and had no stress whatsoever. She cared for them as I would, I have no doubt they were comfortable in their home away from home. I never worried about their food or their environment. I would most certainly recommend her and use her again a million times over. Thank you for everything Kristi!!!”

I highly recommend Madison, and she will be seeing Harley again when I am not able to take him with me. What joy to have found her!”

About: If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and bring a level of professionalism and medical awareness most sitters simply don’t have, I’m your person. As a registered nurse, I’m trained to recognize subtle changes in behavior, respond calmly in emergencies, and confidently administer medications or follow detailed care plans. I’m also a proud dog mom to two golden retrievers, so I understand firsthand the energy, affection, and attention dogs need to truly thrive—not just get by. I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds with different temperaments and needs, and I helped foster six puppies in high school, which sparked my lifelong passion for animal care. Your dog won’t just be supervised—they’ll be genuinely cared for, understood, and treated like family in a safe, loving environment you can feel completely confident about. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because as a nurse, I only work three days a week, which gives me four full days dedicated to being home and fully present. On my days off, I have complete flexibility for walks, drop-ins, boarding, playtime, and sticking closely to your dog’s normal routine. Even on the days I do work, my schedule is predictable, allowing me to plan dependable care and maintain consistency. Nursing has made me highly organized and intentional with my time, so pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I thoughtfully plan for. Your pet would receive focused, reliable attention from someone whose schedule truly allows for it. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. They receive structured playtime, regular potty breaks, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I’m mindful of maintaining their normal feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any medical needs, and as a nurse, I’m comfortable administering medications and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. Safety is always a priority, and I create a calm, supervised environment where dogs can feel secure and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions closely, whether that includes specific feeding guidelines, medications, crate routines, or preferred walking routes. I spend quality time with them beyond the basics—playing, cuddling, and providing companionship—so they don’t just feel “checked on,” but genuinely cared for. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away.
“Ronda and her husband Dave are AMAZING! I have never left Lucie with anyone before and was nervous to do so but I could not have asked for a better sitter. Lucie has had some anxiety problems lately but she was so spoiled and loved throughout her stay. Ronda made sure to keep me up to date throughout her stay and sent a bunch of pictures of her being spoiled. I am definitely going to ronda again for boarding and doggy day care. I have no problem recommending her to ANYONE who needs a sitter. Thank you so much for making mine and Lucies first experience an enjoyable one.”
“David and his wife are the best! Upon meeting them we knew our dogs would be treated like family with them. We were gone for an entire week and left both dogs with David and knew they were there n good hands. I got pictures of them on the couch being spoiled all week long. Our pups are worn out, thanks David!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child! From growing up with them, to helping friends and family, to fostering for shelters and rescues! I work full time, but do have allotted time to run home to let pets out/feed! My boyfriend is also a huge help to filling any gaps! I ensure all pets receive the best care! From food choice (if not provided), to toys, to play time w/ my pups (if wanted)! I provide a safe but fun environment!
“Cody was awesome! We did a meetup before boarding where we were able to have our dogs meet and chat. Cody was great about sending pictures and updating us on how our pet was doing. Upon pickup, we could really tell how much our dog enjoyed staying with Cody. I highly recommend him and will definitely book him again.”
“Did a great job with our crazy Milo! He watched Milo for the weekend while I was out of town and sent pictures and updates! He helped us out tremendously at the last minute by watching him for those few days! He also has a puppy that Milo seemed to thoroughly enjoy playing with!”
