“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“Diane was fantastic with our girl! We really appreciated the photos and great care she took with our German shepherd and already have her booked for another trip we are taking soon.”
“Ruby watched my pup while I was away and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience! From the very first interaction, she was professional, friendly, and eager to ensure my boy felt comfortable and safe in my absence. Throughout the time I was away,, Ruby provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which made me feel at ease and reassured that my pet was being well cared for. I would highly recommend Ruby to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. I will certainly be booking again for my next trip!”
“Bear loved his time with Linda! He had a blast playing with the other dogs and running around the property, he came home so tired and so happy. His whole life he’s been terrified of the water but he felt so comfortable that he even jumped in the pond a few times for a swim! Linda sent us pictures and kept us updated the whole time we were gone, it really helped us relax a little more and felt so good to know he was in such great hands! We also really appreciate that they do not take on too many dogs at one time so we know that Bear is getting the attention he needs and likes. We will definitely be bringing Bear back here in the future. Thank you so much Linda for taking care of our boy!”
“Dante had a wonderful visit! He was so well taken care of; Kelsey kept me in the loop and sent me plenty of updates on his adventures. I love knowing he has a family that can give him all the love and treat him like their own. Will definitely reach back out for future trips.”
“Nicole and Jarrod have watched my pup several times and have always taken such great care of him. They are patient and kind, great communicators and I can tell that they genuinely care and treat Mac as part of the family. In addition, they are just awesome people. I feel really lucky that I found Nicole and family - can't recommend them highly enough!”
“Alexis's place is in a secluded and safe place with huge lawn and play area for dogs. She is extremely patient and kind with older dogs like ours and has shown willingness to go the extra mile caring for them. Hidden gem and definitely recommendable.”
“I received great feedback/updates throughout Kaiya's stay. I really appreciate Samantha spending so much time with my pup by taking her out into the wild (her great property) and the pond. Kaiya was also introduced to a horse on her property. Kaiya was really given a great experience and was looking back outside the windowwhen we departed. She may not have wanted to leave just yet. We will use Samantha's services again. Thanks Samantha!”
“We are glad we found Logan in town! We needed a petsitter for the weekend, and Logan was available! She was great, took them on walks, send pictures and updates! We’d definitely recommend her for anyone who is looking for a pet sitter. Thank you Logan for the great care of our pets!”
“Aron did a great job caring for our dog! He is so comfortable and calm around dogs and we appreciated that he wanted to meet our dog before committing to make sure he would be a good fit. Very caring and definitely has a way with dogs!”
About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I run a 501(c)(3) dog rescue, regularly transport dogs, care for puppies, seniors, and special-needs dogs, administer medications, work on basic training, leash manners, and provide structured, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule because animals are already a central part of my daily life. I work from home and plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, medications, enrichment, and individualized care. This flexibility allows me to be reliable, responsive, and fully present for each pet. I have 2 600+ feet plus areas for dogs to run and play. We have a building for them to sleep cozy, clean and safe.
“This was the first time our little dog was going to stay overnight in a new place. Pam was helpful and communicated how he was doing as the week progressed. She was so kind! Our dog was healthy and happy when we picked him up.”
“Amanda took care of our little senior pup for 10 days and I am so so appreciative of her care. From handling a minor vet care to even coming to check in on our two cats, I can’t thank her enough. Our little guy sure loves to stay with her and her doggies as well. Thank you so much!!”
“Abbie did a great job taking care of Ella-dog. Her communication was prompt and professional and most importantly Ella-dog had a great time. 10/10 would happily recommend to anyone.”

“Cynthia took good care of my kitten who alternates between needing play and lap naps. She’s very easy to coordinate with and was flexible in my changing schedule. I have no worry about the pets when I know she’s taking care of them. Thanks Cynthia!”
“Mikayla is great! Her communication is excellent, and she did a great job of giving one of our kitties his medication, which can be difficult. We are glad to have found her!”
“Natalie did a great job of taking care of my 3 pups and kitties while I was away for the weekend. She was very caring and communicative, and clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Paola took such good care of our 15 year old kitty! Our house looked spotless as well, which I know wasn’t luck. Our kitty tends to struggle with hairballs! Paola spent at least 30 minutes on each visit, playing with the kitty and chasing away her loneliness. It’s so comforting to know that someone truly cares for your pet while you’re away on a trip. That’s how we felt about Paola.”
About: Hello! Thank you for taking interest. I am an animal lover who is trying to make some extra money doing something I care about. I've been housesitting for about 4-5 years for mostly dogs and cats, but I have had the occasional snake or fish, even a pig once! I'm very excited to meet you and your pets!
“Jillian is so thoughtful and kind! I knew my little catdude was well taken care of and comfortable. She sent lots of vids and updates throughout and made sure he was well fed and had lots of treats. 10/10 experience!”
About: I’ve taken care and been around cats since I was little. I’m extremely in tune with their quirks and reading what they’re okay and not okay with. I’ve had 3 of my own cats, male and female. I know how to give oral medications and injections.
“Incredible dog sitter, We could not have been more happy! Nate was interested in all of our pets, You could tell he cared about them. We trust Nate to be at our home, he was timely and followed through on everything we asked him to do. Nate went above and beyond, he watched our animals in a storm and the house got cold so Nate brought his own space heater to warm the house. Nate even offered to do more than expected. Nate’s communication is excellent, telling us daily about each pet and We will definitely use Nate again!”
“Aspen provided consistent and thoughtful care. She communicated regularly and without being asked, brought in a package that was delivered a day early before I got home from my trip.”
About: I got my first cat at 16 years old and have had a connection to cats ever since! They're truly my preferred animal and spirit animal too. I have experience with deep cleaning litter boxes, observing their habits with the litter box, good at communicating with pet owners/giving updates, and great at playing with them as well.
“Having someone visit and feed the cat daily was a relief for us. Even though the cat didn’t make an appearance every day the food disappeared so we knew he was there. Just a bit shy and hid on Sheriane most days. This was much less stressful on Charcoal than going to a kennel. Sheriane checked in and kept us updated. 100% would use Rover and Sheriane again. Thank you”
“Anna took excellent care of Bubba while we were away for a weekend. We came home to a happy, well-fed cat. The photos were great and we could tell he had a great time when she stopped by. Would recommend Anna anytime! Thanks!”
About: I grew up around dogs my entire life, we’ve always had various pets in our household from bunnies, rats, ferrets to German Shepard’s, pit bulls and chihuahuas. I’m always home on the weekends, usually just chilling in bed watching movies, or go for a nice walk on the beach or in downtown. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! *Please do not book with me if your dog cannot be left alone during the day. I work from 6a-3p during the week and I have a small apartment so I cannot have them barking the entire time I’m gone. Thank you for understanding* I do work during the weekdays but I work close to my home so I can always come home on my lunch to give midday potty breaks if needed. I have a consistent schedule and am usually home by 3/4pm. Dogs are kept separated when I am not home and I also have 24/7 camera on my apartment so I can always keep an eye on the dogs when I’m not there.
“Thank you again Mel!! I booked on very short notice and was so happy to have care for our kitty Loki! Mel went above and beyond with updates, pictures, and care. Without reservation, I recommend Mel for all care needs!!”
“Kristen is so thoughtful and caring with our dogs! She allowed us the peace of mind to enjoy a day away, knowing that our fur babies were looked after. We especially loved that she sent us a video of the pups while we were gone. While getting to know us, Kristen spent a good amount of time with all of the dogs and me, and I felt confident right away with her capabilities. I will definitely use Kristen again!”

“Nicole and Jarrod are great, they always send lots of pictures and my pup always comes back tired and is excited to see them again. I can feel good about leaving my baby with them”
About: Hi, we are Molly, Massimo and Zali. We've had dogs in our families and had taken care of pets of all kinds since we were kids. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on us to walk, feed and care for their pets of all shapes & sizes. We use positive reinforcement for training and pride ourselves on having trained Zali & other dogs basic commands, to walk both on & off leash, plus some fun party tricks. Our favorite “trick” is to ring a bell to go outside. On rainy days, we play hide & seek games with toys & treats around the house to make sure we’re all still getting plenty of stimulation. We’re still unsure who’s more entertained, us or the dogs, when they’re are searching for their reward ;) We are enthusiastic hosts & look forward to meeting you & your pup! We work from home and begin each day with a good romp in our big back yard and a long neighborhood walk. Our yard has plenty of shade and running water. Doggos and humans alike love it here 💓🐶 We live on a 2 acre fully fenced lot and have a sweet, 5 year old female boxer mix that will keep your dog company. She happily shares her toys; playing with other doggo friends & sunny naps are some of her favorite pastimes. While she is a large and playful dog, she is able to match any dogs level of excitement and play.
“Shout to Stephen for providing responsive and professional care to my 4yo labradoodle Gracie. Stephen is patient and kind to Gracie and all her personalities, so we rely on him for weekly daycare which involves early drop offs, updates throughout care, and late pickups. Stephen responds quickly and is happy to help so hit him up for inquiries.”
“What a great environment for my dog. The backyard is a dog's dream, especially if your pup likes to run. Yolanda was very accommodating when I was delayed and kept me informed of how Beau was doing during his stay. I would highly recommend Yolanda and her Doggy Day Care.”
“Sienna provided a quick response to my booking request, and was willing to take my dog on short notice. She has a large yard, and clean pet friendly home for him to enjoy during his stay. I have complete confidence in her ability to take care of my pet, and I look forward to booking with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working as a professional dog sitter, and I genuinely love what I do. Taking care of animals isn’t just a job for me—it’s a passion. Each dog I care for has their own unique personality, and I truly enjoy getting to know them, understanding their needs, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it’s going for long walks, playing in the yard, or just curling up together for some quiet time, I always strive to create a comforting and fun environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and always treat every pet as if they were my own. It brings me so much joy to know that I can give pet parents peace of mind, knowing their furry family members are in caring hands. I have a very open schedule, which is very flexible. If you book me to work with your animal, I will be on time, and I am very reliable. When I dog sit, I make sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for in their own home. I stick to their regular routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from the owner. I give them lots of attention, affection, and ensure they feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for.
About: As a cattle dog owner, I'd like to think I have a special set of skills for crazy babies. I have always had rescues and fosters in my home. I have been fortunate to work with foster pets from the Caribbean and Mexico as well, each of these often came with health issues. I have experience with pregnant dogs and cats as well! If you are interested in having your pet stay over, know I have a very friendly dog. She has both experienced having guests and foster pets in the house as well. Tolerant and obedient. I have multiple rooms and baby gates for separation and quiet time. In general, I am a very active and outdoorsy person! So i am happy to take the pets out to the trails or the lake! I live on 10 quiet acres with a fenced yard. There is ample space to play outside or be kept safe and warm inside. I work from home 90% of the days so I can provide full time oversight and care. I also work a job where I can take the dogs with me if you approve! I am fortunate to work from home. I have the ability to provide care all day and night for your pet! I walk each morning and evening and have the option to take your pet out for a walk or a play on the property in both fenced and unfenced areas. I have an older dog who is very arthritic so I am used to caring for the elderly animals as well. Pets in my home have their own room if needed. I have plenty of space for crates. I have a large gated deck and live on 10 acres on a quiet road. My own pets walk daily with me along my road which works well for easy elder dog walks as it is shady even in the summer. It also can provide great training ground as there is little traffic. For the high energy babies, we can play fetch or take to the trails nearby. I have always had rescue pitties so I am comfortable with big cuddly babies. I adopted a cattle dog pup who had clinical anxiety which has taught me how to care for highly intelligent, high energy dogs as well. Treats, love, and confidence makes for a happy dog!
About: My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is not just cared for, but cared for with genuine love. I’ve been caring for pets for years and truly treat every dog or cat like part of the family. From playful puppies with endless energy to sweet senior pets who need extra patience and gentle handling, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. What sets me apart is my attentive, personalized approach — I don’t just “watch” pets, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I understand how important routines are, whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medications, or keeping up with daily walks and playtime. I work from home, which means your pet will never feel “left alone” during the day. My flexible schedule allows me to give plenty of attention, walks, and play breaks throughout the day — not just morning and evening check-ins. I also share my life with Barkley, my friendly dog who loves having new buddies around. He’s a great companion for pets who enjoy company, playtime, or just having another dog to nap near. Together, we make sure your pet feels safe, entertained, and part of the family. Whether it’s sticking to feeding routines, long walks, or snuggle breaks between meetings, caring for pets is a natural part of my daily rhythm — not something I squeeze in. Your pup will have the best of both worlds here — space to run, play, and explore, plus all the comforts of a loving home. We live on an acre of land with large fenced dog runs, so pets can enjoy plenty of safe outdoor time. Whether your dog loves to zoom around, sniff every corner, or just lounge in the sun, there’s room for it all. Inside, pets are treated like family. I make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and included in the daily routine. Walks, play sessions, and cuddle time are built into the day, and I keep a close eye to make sure everyone is safe and happy. With my own dog, Barkley, as a friendly companion, visiting pups usually settle in quickly and feel right at home.
“Aron has been so excellent with my 9 month old Malinois! She comes home exhausted and is always excited to be there. He’s very attentive and puts up with my paranoid-dog-mom “how’s she doing?” texts every so often 😂 highly recommend!”
About: I have been a dog owner all my life and have had cats as well. I treat all animals like they are my own babies. I am currently a stay at home mom so what ever the pup or cat needs, I will be here to make sure it is cared for in the best way possible. I have a house with a fenced in backyard. I have a small dog myself and can be here for them all day. I can walk around my beautiful neighborhood and show love and care.
“My dog seemed very happy here and I got several updates throughout the day on how he was doing!! Very pleased with the doggy day care service and looking forward to future visits!”
“Katya provided a safe, comfortable, happy play stay for our 20-month-old golden retriever. Mattie loved playing with Dewi and Mishka! Katya's calm demeanor put our girl at ease right away. You can tell that she is a dog lover who understands how to take charge while still having fun. Definitely will use her services in the future!”
“Danielle is so great with our little Chi mix, Margeaux. She treats her & loves her as if she were a member of her own family. Sends photo updates daily and is flexible with dtop-off and pick-up times. My puppy always leaves her home having had lots of exercise and attention. It's so nice to be able to go to work knowing my furry little one will be happy and kept safe for the day. I highly recommend her! :)”
About: I grew up on a large family farm with all kinds of animals. We recently had two senior Shih Tzu's that each had their own special needs. After the loss, we are ready to open our home to new pups! We love all dogs and animals of all kinds. Our property is a large 3 acres. Our large backyard is fenced. We enjoy hiking and long walks. My husband works from home so there's someone always here for potty breaks, snuggles and treats. We do have one friendly, easygoing cat. Your dog must be comfortable around cats. We are happy to give medications or whatever special needs that you might require. My husband works from home and we are generally homebody people. I work about 32 hours a work. I am usually at work at 10 am and home by 5:30 pm. Our cat is self-sufficient and has his own bathroom space with his automatic food feeder and litter box. This limits dogs from being cat box curious.
“Louisa was very accommodating about drop-off and pick-up. She sent photo updates throughout the day and it was clear that our dog, Stella, had a wonderful day playing with resident dog Jin. Lots of space to run and play on their convenient property near Nevada City.”
About: I’ve grown up haveing all types of dogs and animals dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, ferrets. I love all types of animals and really enjoy working with dogs. I have worked with dogs rescues in Los Angeles and foster a lot of dogs from all ages. I have worked training a lot of dogs for not pulling on leashes to being fully off leash dogs. I am safe with reactive dogs and specialize in strong breeds. Keeping dogs safe and allowing them to make good choices is my top priority. I have trained with top trainers with my own dogs and work with balanced dog practices. Structures and rules lead to Great dogs and treats along the way. Learning what makes each dog tick and connections are so important. Each dog is so special and giving them the world even if it’s just one pee break and a cuddle is the best feeling. I am currently in town for the next 2 months due to my full time job on hiatus. I am fully available and pretty flexible. If my service area doesn’t cover you please send me a message rates can be adjusted to include travel further. Safely is my top priority with dogs. Keeping a dog safe with a new person is so important. Deleting on what the dog is accustomed to i use Leashes and slip leads , Ecollars, prong collars whatever the client wants and what works best to get the dogs and clients needs met. Can take the dog out by the house or out to a lake for swimming and ball throwing. I am very aware of my environment to keep the dog safe from others and feel a private area is best for dogs while under my care. I have a even tempered 2 year old playful dogs as well that may join the adventure once I feel comfortable with your dogs and them knowing me.

About: I love being with all animals and especially older and disabled animals.

I can also share many reviews from other platforms upon request. I am always available to help you out with your fur babies anytime! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. Everyday, any time. A typical day for dog care is a 1-2 hr walk/hike in the morning, chill/snack/play, and then one more 1 hr walk in the evening. We go to a different location for each walk! I will follow all directions given in writing on how to care best for your sweet baby. I can do walks, playtime, exercise, training, massage and reiki and anything else needed!

I want to clarify during our visit if you need care at the 2-hour, 4-hour, or 6-hour interval beyond the overnight stay of 7 pm to 7 am. Communication is key! I will send daily pictures or updates. For best prevention, talking about the details with the owner and ground rules produces the best results. Topics will include where the pet feels most comfortable such a calm spaces or crating procedures. I make sure to go over emergency contacts and preferred clinics. Also, I keep a clean environment that ensures the safety of pets for food handling.
“Nate is up for the challenge! We had been on the road for 5 hours and needed someone to walk our dog while we went to an appointment. While two others passed on the extended period, Nate signed up to walk him for 2 hours. He was very professional in the fact that even though most would have brought their own dog to this event, he showed up alone and even provided the transportation to the trail. Dalton returned happy and exercised after their four mile walk! Thanks Nate!”
About: Some of my earliest memories are of taking care of Queensland Heeler puppies in my outdoor playhouse. My parents were breeders & ever since then I’ve had a very special connection to dogs! I have taken care of many different types of furry friends from puppies to seniors, from chihuahuas to Belgian Malinois. I have also fostered rescues in my home from time to time. All while having two dogs myself! Looking to build a relationship with a few clients who need their pups walked daily/ boarded while they are away at work or vacation. I am a new stay at home mom so my schedule is very open & flexible! I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for your pet and mine to run and play! I can also provide a crate in a spare bedroom for your pet if they need their own space. I am also very big on walks, me and my dogs go on a walk everyday! Plenty of treats & pets will be provided as well as updates & photos to you!
About: I have taken care of various dogs through the years. All sizes and ages. Usually love to take them on long walks and hikes around my neighborhood. I’m available to walk in the morning and afternoon. I am also available to take in pets for an over weekend or in home care. I like to walk dogs as often as I can or on very long walks. I have a pretty spacious apartment so they can run around. I have a cat who is very friendly with other dogs.
About: I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have experience with a wide range of animals and personality types starting from a young age. I have a flexible schedule and can work from anywhere with decent internet, so your animals will benefit from an attentive, experienced carer who goes the extra mile to make sure they are safe and comfortable. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats, as well as farm animals. I can work with special medical needs or elderly pets.
About: I offer calm, attentive care for pets, with a steady presence that helps animals feel safe and settled. • Experienced with dog walking, feeding, and drop-in care • Calm, attentive, and intuitive with animals of all temperaments • Comfortable with routines, medications, and special needs • Reliable and respectful in both short visits and extended care Over the past several years, I’ve immersed myself in house and pet sitting, earning a reputation for reliability, cleanliness, discretion, and a calm, responsible presence. I’m often entrusted with extended and live-in care, and I take stewardship of both pets and home seriously. I’ve cared for a wide range of animals and situations, including long-term dog sitting for a couple over several years, from weekend trips to multi-week stays. Before a period of travel abroad, they even flew me to Portland to care for their dogs, Sana and Osa, and their cat Ninja during a three-week wedding trip to Mexico. Sana required extra sensitivity and daily car rides to a quiet cemetery to avoid overstimulation, which I was happy to accommodate. I’ve also house- and pet-sat for a senior couple, caring for two cats, two chickens, and managing a daily bird-feeding system for local avian visitors who were dear companions to the homeowner. In another sit, I tended to a rescue crow and her two cat companions for a full month while the owners were in India studying Vedic astrology. In many of these situations, I’ve also been responsible for watering plants, collecting mail, maintaining routines, and simply being a reassuring human presence in the home—keeping things running smoothly, lights on, and the house clearly lived-in while owners are away. I’m very comfortable accommodating unique requests and supporting both pets and homes with care and respect. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be present and adapt my day around your pets’ needs. I’m able to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, and companionship, and I’m open to coordinating routines that support your pet’s comfort and wellbeing. I provide care in my clients’ homes, maintaining their pets’ normal routines and environment. I focus on calm, attentive presence, safety, and clear communication. I’m comfortable administering medication, managing feeding and exercise, and keeping the home clean, secure, and lived-in while you’re away. I treat each home and animal with respect, discretion, and care.

I love getting out of the house and exploring new neighborhoods and areas especially during Spring and summer. We have resided in Nevada County for decades! We don’t dog board due to having too many household members and pets already, but in your home they are taken care of exactly how they should be. With compassion and love.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of fostering several dogs and caring for many different breeds. I’ve dog-sat for multiple clients and have references available to vouch for my care. In addition to pet sitting, I worked at a kennel for two years where I cared for over 25 dogs, handling everything from basic kennel duties, veterinary care, and some light dog training. I’m passionate about understanding each dog’s unique needs and making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. Whether it’s a walk, a visit, or extended pet sitting, I’m here to ensure your dog gets the love and attention they deserve. Spending time with animals is truly what makes me happiest, and I’m committed to giving your pets the best care possible! I currently have a very open schedule, and am available at all times. If your pup can’t be left alone I can work around your needed schedule Your dogs will receive plenty of love and ample outdoor time. I want to make sure they’re happy and healthy while you’re away, and follow your pups daily routine so they don’t even realize you’re gone. I’m well-versed in handling any emergency that may come up, with extensive experience in managing various medical situations. I’ve cared for dogs with health conditions and am fully equipped to handle their needs. When pet sitting, I’ll make sure to accommodate both you and your dog’s specific requirements, following all guidelines to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.
About: I have been a dog lover my whole life. I have a wonderfully trained chi who is truly the light of my life. I love teaching dogs new tricks, challenging their mind and getting them great exercise! I know that above all, love and patience is the best training tool. I believe that dogs have feelings and as humans in charge of our furry friends we must be sensitive at all times to their individual needs. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!!

“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“Diane was fantastic with our girl! We really appreciated the photos and great care she took with our German shepherd and already have her booked for another trip we are taking soon.”
“Bear loved his time with Linda! He had a blast playing with the other dogs and running around the property, he came home so tired and so happy. His whole life he’s been terrified of the water but he felt so comfortable that he even jumped in the pond a few times for a swim! Linda sent us pictures and kept us updated the whole time we were gone, it really helped us relax a little more and felt so good to know he was in such great hands! We also really appreciate that they do not take on too many dogs at one time so we know that Bear is getting the attention he needs and likes. We will definitely be bringing Bear back here in the future. Thank you so much Linda for taking care of our boy!”

“I received great feedback/updates throughout Kaiya's stay. I really appreciate Samantha spending so much time with my pup by taking her out into the wild (her great property) and the pond. Kaiya was also introduced to a horse on her property. Kaiya was really given a great experience and was looking back outside the windowwhen we departed. She may not have wanted to leave just yet. We will use Samantha's services again. Thanks Samantha!”
