“Gregory was an amazing sitter. He went above and beyond to make sure Scout was not only safe, but happy. He took her on walks and to visit his mom. She got to make new doggy friends and sleep on his couch. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”
“All I can say is Wow! Everything was perfect with Sylvia and her pup Finn! The dogs got along so well and the yard is shaded and green. I got pictures during the stay and my dog, Deschutes was stretched out on the carpet with a face of contentment. Just what a dog owner wants to see!”
“Janice was an excellent sitter. My dog had a an unforeseen medical issue and Janice volunteered to take my dog to the veterinary clinic which was above and beyond expectations. Janice sent updates throughout the days my dog was in her care via pictures and short videos. I highly recommend Janice.”
“Erin was the best! She took great care of our dog. She was always super responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. Would for sure let her watch our dog again!”
“Olesia and her husband are truly the best people we’ve ever met when it comes to finding someone we can trust with our cat, GG. Per usual, she sends us pictures and videos leaving us relaxed. She is attentive, considerate, and overall a great human being! Thank you for all that you do for our family!!”
“Nancy was an outstanding dog sitter for Zoey! From the moment I booked with her, she was incredibly communicative and made the entire process easy and stress free. Throughout Zoey’s stay, Nancy sent frequent updates, photos, and messages so I always knew how she was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zoey was in such caring and capable hands. I could tell Nancy genuinely cared about her and treated her like one her own. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter.”
“I'm glad I found Michael and Patricia. Josie felt at ease with them right away so it made me feel good about leaving her with them. They are a wonderful couple who really care about dogs. I rarely go out of town, but if I ever need a sitter for Josie in the future, they'd be the ones I'd book a stay with.”
“Alesya was great with my little guy and truly made us both so comfortable with his first boarding experience! She kept me informed along the way and it’s very clear she truly cares about the pups she watches!”
“Highly recommend! Oliver was taken on multiple long walks daily and I could tell when I picked him up he enjoyed his time. I received lots of pictures, videos and updates during his stay. Nadezhda and her beautiful family are so kind and helpful and I could tell they all really love dogs. 💙”
“Julia and her family took great care of Ellie and she had many special experiences while staying with her. Ellie had other play time, sensory experiences, and time other dogs. Julia was a great communicator, sent daily updates, and was attentive to Ellie’s needs. We will definitely board with Julia again!”
“I was pretty nervous leaving our boys with anyone as they can be overwhelming to some. Jena and her whole family were wonderful and I could not be happier with how everything went. The boys were relaxed and happy at pick up and when they got home. Will definitely use Jena again!”
“Galady was fantastic! We would rebook her again when needed and highly recommend her thanks to her outstanding communication and wonderful care for our dog, Chico!”
“Johnna took care of Walt again for a longer stay and she shared such amazing updates, pictures, and videos especially of Walt socializing! I can tell Walt had such a great time. Thanks so much again!”

“Khylei was amazing- my cats were very well taken care of, and my less shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello. I had so much peace of mind knowing that my cats were so well taken care of.”
“The dogs were at first meeting defensive which is natural. Within minutes they relaxed and were comfortable with Tylyn. Nice pictures were taken everyday, the yard was cleaned up and she did a little extra watering. I was very comfortable with her dropping in for a total of nine days.”

About: I have over eight years of dedicated hands-on experience, having cared for pets of all ages and backgrounds since I was 12 years old. Growing up surrounding myself with animals and pet care taught me how to read animal body language, build fast trust, and adapt to each animal's unique personality. My current schedule allows me to offer excellent flexibility and dedicated time for pet care. I work part-time at my church, which leaves me with plenty of open availability throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Following Their Routine: I stick strictly to the daily schedule you set for feeding, exercise, play, and bedtime. Keeping their normal routine minimizes stress while you are away. Respecting Your Space: I treat your home with total respect, keeping common areas clean, securing doors and gates, and ensuring everything is left exactly as you left it. Constant Updates & Photos: You will receive regular check-ins, photos, and updates during every visit or overnight stay so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: From eight years old, I’ve always had cats in my life one way or another. Patches was my first cat. I loved her very much. Since then, I’ve become a student pilot and I still continue to watch cats to save up for school :) Let me know what I can do for you!
“Very reliable and responsible. Clearly very knowledgeable about animals and would definitely have Katie back any time. She took the time to write out her visit summary and I loved the photos. Thanks!”
“Junior was well cared for. We are very happy to have found someone so reliable and caring to have looked after him while we were gone for a couple days. We will definitely use Donna again to care for our “son” again! Thank you Donna!!”
“Emma is awesome ! For a first time user on this app , she made everything easy and had great communication the entire time . Emma definitely went above and beyond in caring for my black lab Lucy in which we look forward to booking with her again soon !”
“Audriana was awesome again! She took great care of our dog, and went above and beyond by spending extra time with him and even picked up the house some during the check ins. Highly recommend!”
“We used this app for the first time and got so lucky to find Patti! She immediately made us feel at ease upon our first meeting and our dog loved her right away. She even was able to eventually pet our 12 year old cat who is a really big scaredy cat with new people. She was able to do exactly what we needed with our pets while we were away and we did not have to worry one bit. Loved all the pics and comments every day as well. Can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our fur babies! ??”
About: I’ve loved and felt a connection to cats since I was two years old on my family farm. The first cat of my own, Baby, was a Siamese ragdoll cat who lived to be 18. My cat now is named Zelda, she’s a domestic shorthair tuxedo cat. I always joke and say if I was any animal, I’d be a cat!
“Olesia and her husband are truly the best people we’ve ever met when it comes to finding someone we can trust with our cat, GG. Per usual, she sends us pictures and videos leaving us relaxed. She is attentive, considerate, and overall a great human being! Thank you for all that you do for our family!!”
“Lindsey and her family are awesome. I’m so happy I found her on Rover. My cat Olivia loves them! I hate leaving her but she’s always in a much better mood when I get home so I know she loves their company!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An Epic Doggie Adventure with Tammie – A Five-Star Tale of Tail-Wagging Joy In a world where trustworthy dog sitters are as rare as a unicorn at a dog park, one woman stands above the rest. Her name… is Tammie. Her mission… to turn ordinary dog-sitting into extraordinary canine adventures. And lucky for us, my sweet Sugar got to be the star. Sugar—my spunky, snow-white cockapoo with the heart of a lioness—was welcomed into Tammie’s home like royalty. Not only did she find a second family, she found a whole pack. Tammie's four dogs became her instant crew. The kind of squad you’d want backing you up on a Pixar-style rescue mission. But this isn’t just about tail wags and playtime. It’s about love. Tammie didn’t just watch Sugar—she cared for her. She cleaned Sugar’s eyes gently with a warm cloth while petting her. She let her hang out with her sweet kids. She gave me a full “report card” so detailed, it felt like a scene straight out of a Wes Anderson film: 6 pees. 1 poop. 8 water breaks. That’s dedication. That’s data. That’s love. Tammie gets what it means to be a dog parent. She lives it—traveling with her own four pups, creating a home that feels more like a dog-friendly dreamscape than just another house. She’s not just a sitter. She’s a director of happiness, orchestrating a beautiful symphony of barks, belly rubs, and tail wags. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, craft their stay into a heartwarming mini-movie, and send them home with a sparkle in their eyes… look no further. Sugar can’t wait for the sequel. 🐾”
“Victoria was absolutely awesome! I had a last minute booking and she accepted and literally saved the day. My rescue was super scared at first and I was worried about leaving him. Within 30 minutes she sent me pictures of him having the time of his life! He was really happy to return the next visit as well. Victoria provided plenty of pictures and a video of Kratos during his stay. I will most definitely bring using Victoria in the future for Kratos.”
“Yelyzaveta was fantastic! She was responsive, easy to communicate with, and clearly cared for my dog. I appreciated the detailed report on all activities throughout the day. Highly recommend!”
About: Updated: 2/16/2026 - I home sit (for overnights) at my home in Citrus Heights on almost an acre for clients who need dog sitting up to 2 dogs or 1 dog and 1 in house cat (spayed or neutered). I only sit one client at a time with one or two pets so I can give them full attention as I am retired.. Cats will be in outdoor cat condo under carport at this time. I don’t book out farther than 90 days. Additionally, I do drop-in's from 9 am to 5 pm daily. NOTE: I home care dogs in Citrus Heights (near Antelope & Sunrise). I've owned a couple of pure breed German Shepherds and a few rescue German Shepherds, a Golden Retriever, and a medium mix dog. I've taken some doggie training classes. There are two other adults who live with me (dog lovers). Non-smoking house. Dogs are provided Britta filtered water. Let me know your dog's preferences for playtime... Frisbee, ball toss, tug toys, etc. for overnights (please provide the food). Look forward to meeting your sweet dogs. I do walk about around my large backyard on leash if you prefer your dog to keep up with walking training. It's a bit like a track in the backyard. Cats will be outdoor under a structured carport in a cat condo (with litter box access). I'll update you wtih daily photos. I can’t accept Pit Bulls, Doberman Pinchers, or Rottweilers for insurance reasons. I'm retired and looking forward to have dog guests. If you vacation during the summer months this will work well for you. In the house is great too. All my dogs have been indoor dogs. I have a fenced yard that can be divided and fenced for smaller dogs too. It's a big property and dogs can be contained in smaller areas if you prefer. See pictures.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes my whole life. I truly love anyone’s animal like my own because I know what it’s like to worry about your pet when they are away. When they’re hanging out with me, you can expect lots of pictures, games of fetch in the backyard, and as many snuggles as possible. I prioritize the owners peace of mind. I have experience administering daily medications, with some pets being on multiple medications at different times of day. Rest assured, your pet will a place to call their second home when staying with me. I am home full time, your pet will experience my full attention all day. I prioritize a daily routine in my own life, and work hard to make sure your pet stays in theirs as well. My yard is fully fenced in and even my escape artist husky is safe and secure in the backyard. They will always be under my direct supervision when in the backyard. There are lots of toys to play with in the backyard, even an outdoor bed if they prefer to relax.
“Lucas was amazing with my puppy, Nala! He was incredibly welcoming from the start and made sure she was comfortable and cared for the entire time she stayed with him and Ferguson. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and pays attention to their individual needs. Nala came home happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great experience. I also appreciated the updates and the peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. I would absolutely trust Lucas again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Olesia was wonderful. We dropped off our dog for around 6 hours and she was very communicative. She sent lots of photos and our dog was very happy to stay with her. Would definitely use Olesia again!”

“I was so grateful that my sweet baby girl was able to enjoy long walks by the creek, and make some new friends at her new Pup Sitter’s house. Lindsay and her husband were beyond kind, encouraging, communicative and attentive to my pup. She was great at sending pictures, updates, and noting her observations when my pup would do silly things. Thank you again for keeping my baby girl safe and giving her lots of loves and scratches!”

About: Currently 8 months pregnant and I am a stay at home mom. In the process of moving so I don’t have a backyard until end of June but can’t wait to be able to offer that space for dogs in the future!! I love to help and can do a feeding and some light grooming if needed! My 4 year old is always with me so I can only host a dog that is good with children and not aggressive. I’m a stay at home mom so I can provide a lot of potty breaks and attention to your pets! I have a 4 year old daughter that loves cats and dogs and has lots of energy so adding an animal to our routine is very easy. I’m always very respectful of your place. I know the trust that must be involved to let someone into your home and I don’t want to ruin that trust!

About: I’ve been house and pet sitting for two years, caring for the home and animals of family and friends who trust me with what matters most to them. That trust is something I take seriously - every client I’ve worked with has told me their house was cleaner when I left than when they went away, and their pets were happier for having me around. What sets me apart: I treat your house like it’s mine to protect, not just occupy. Dishes clean, surfaces wiped, everything put back where it belongs - you’ll come back to a space that feels cared for and not just sat in. I keep your pets routine exactly as they know. Feeding times, walk schedules, medication, bedtime habits - I stick to it precisely, because I know animals feel safest when nothing changes. I have real experience with a wide range of pets and needs. I’ve cared for Labs, show dogs, dogs on medication schedules, and senior dogs, along with senior cats and cats on special diets. I’m comfortable handling medication administration, mobility needs, and extra attention older or health conscious pets require - nothing catches me off guard. I’m a life long animal person, not just a sitter. In have two cats of my own, so I understand pet behavior and needs firsthand - from routine care to reading the subtle cues that tell you something’s off. I come with a track record, not just promises. Two years of repeat sits with the same families and friends means I have real references who can speak consistency, trustworthiness, and care. Whether it’s a weekend or an extended trip, I’ll treat your home and pets like they’re my own responsibility to protect - because to me, they are. I'm home for the summer from college with no other job commitments, so pet care is my main focus during this time. That means I have flexible, wide-open availability throughout the day and week — including weekdays, weekends, and extended stretches for house sitting. Since I don't have a 9-to-5 pulling me away, I can be fully present with your pets rather than squeezing in visits between other obligations. Whether it's a quick daily check-in or a multi-day house sit, I have the time and attention to give your cats a consistent, calm routine while you're away. Whether I'm in your home or out on a walk, safety and consistency come first — pets feel most comfortable when their environment feels calm and predictable, so that's what I aim to create every time. In Your Home (Drop-Ins & House Sitting): I treat every home like it's not my own to take liberties with, but exactly as it was entrusted to me. That means: Following your instructions to the letter — feeding amounts, medication schedules, house rules (furniture, gates, closed doors) are treated as non-negotiable, not suggestions. Keeping doors and gates secured at all times, especially during entry and exit, so there's no risk of an escape. Doing a quick safety scan on arrival — checking that nothing's been knocked over, chewed, or left in a place that could be a hazard, and that food/water bowls are clean and full. Keeping cleaning supplies, medications, and anything toxic out of reach, and letting you know right away if I notice something that could pose a risk (an unlatched cabinet, a chewed cord, etc.). For house sitting specifically, maintaining your home's normal security — lights on a sensible schedule, doors locked, and treating your space with full respect and privacy. Sending photo/video updates so you can see, not just hear, that your pet is safe and settled. On Walks: A secure leash-and-collar (or harness) check before we ever step outside — I don't take a pet out the door until I've confirmed the gear is snug and secure. Sticking to routes I know well, so I can anticipate things like busy intersections, off-leash dogs, or construction — and adjusting the pace or path if something feels unsafe. Carrying water on hot days and watching closely for signs of overheating, fatigue, or discomfort. Keeping a firm, calm hold and clear boundaries around other dogs or people, so your pet never feels put in an unpredictable situation. Immediate check-ins with you if anything unexpected happens — an injury, an unusual reaction, anything out of the ordinary — rather than waiting until the visit is over. Building Trust: For every new pet, I take the first visit slow: letting them approach me on their own terms, learning their specific cues (what makes them anxious, what makes them relax), and following any introduction routine you'd like. I'd rather spend a little extra time earning a pet's trust up front than rush into handling that makes them uncomfortable. That calm, structured approach is really the foundation of everything I do — pets do best when they know exactly what to expect from the humans around them, and that's exactly what I aim to provide.

About: From 14 I was volunteering at animal shelters taking care of cats and dogs. I’ve had my own bearded dragons, lizards, hamsters, and cats. I also took care of horses when I was younger as well! I have always found pleasure in pet care. I am excited to see what I can do for you! :) I love walking, playing, and being with animals. Let me know your schedule and what I can do for you and we can work something out :) The prices on my profile are general and are flexible :) It’s a sparkle of genuine care and love in my day for me! I have always loved caring for animals I will always make time for it. I allow them to have a safe space for attention and lots of play time! I make sure that all animals have water available at all times and food is distributed as instructed. I make sure they don’t ever feel alone :)
About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had dogs my entire life, and being around animals has never felt like a job—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. Beyond my love for animals, I’ve spent nearly 30 years working in clients’ homes as a remodeling contractor, which has taught me the importance of reliability, respect, and treating every home with care. When you leave your pet with me, you’re choosing someone who will care for them with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own family. I’ve also cared for chickens and am comfortable with backyard flocks, so if you have feathered family members, they’re in good hands too. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and maintain your pet’s normal routine. When I’m caring for your pet, they have my full attention, and I’ll make sure they receive the exercise, affection, and care they deserve while keeping you updated with photos and messages. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll carefully follow your instructions to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding, walks, medications, and any special needs. I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision, along with regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: Hi there! My name is Halle, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for cats and dogs of all kinds. I’ve worked as a team lead at a cat boarding facility, where I handled everything from giving medications (including insulin, oral, and topical medications) to making sure each kitty had a clean, cozy space and plenty of playtime and affection. I’ve also been a trusted pet sitter for both long and short-term stays, cared for large and small dogs (including walking, feeding, administering meds, and play), and even provided overnight care. I’m comfortable with shy pets, senior pets, and those who need a little extra TLC. I currently have a flexible part-time work schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets throughout the day. I’m generally available for: • Morning, midday, and evening drop-ins or walks • Weekend visits and stays • Holiday bookings (with advance notice) I can easily crate your animal if requested. I will stay within your preferred walking area if needed. And have no problem working with any size of animal.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs for 8 years and truly love spending time with pets. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’ll treat your pets like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other pet-care needs. I’m reliable with scheduling and will make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort and will follow their normal routines and your specific instructions. I’m respectful of your home, keep pets supervised, and provide a calm, clean, and loving environment. I’ll treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I have been an animal lover, and owner, my whole life as well as a volunteer when possible over the last 20 years. I have patience and a genuine love for animals, their safety and happiness. I take my reputation very seriously. I work for myself as a Newborn Care Specialist and Sleep Trainer. So I make my own schedule and therefore have flexibility to incorporate pet care into my schedule. I will always respect your home and your animals. I'm there to provide a service and I take pride in the work that I do. I will follow instructions/directions, communicate and be there for your pet as much or as little as they need/want me.
“Jennifer does great attempting to walk my very particular dog. She frequently gets anxious and Jennifer adapts well and plays with her to help get her moving around. I also really appreciate the details she provides about the walk.”
About: Always had dogs in my life! Enjoy their company and personalities. My pooch would love to have a walking buddy but if your baby is not comfortable around other dogs, I have no issue spending quality time with them! Looking to exercise with new friends! I work full time but having scheduled walks would help motivate me to get my day started early. Can’t wait to meet some new friends! My pooch has many toys that remain untouched!… she has bully sticks, dental chews and the fat I trim from chuck roast gets broiled for crispy guilty snacks. She gets strawberries, blueberries and sardines for more extra treats. Yeah, you could say spoiled…

About: Since childhood, I grew up in a small village where there were many stray dogs and cats that I would always bring home. This is where my unconditional love for animals began. I have more than 10 years of experience with animals. To me, home is where your family and your little four-legged friend are. I have a big and kind heart, and I am ready to share my love not only with my own little pet but also to fill the hearts of other small dogs with my love. At the moment, I spend most of my time at home since I am not working, and I would be happy to be a nanny for your pet 24/7, 7 days a week. I have a friendly little dog at home, a miniature poodle named Chanel. She is ready to share her toys and pads, haha, and more. We also love walking and visiting the dog park near our home. We would be happy to show your pet our favorite spots during our walks together.
About: I have grown up with both dogs and cats. My family would normally have at least 3 pets in the home at a time. My family owned smaller dogs, usually under 30lbs. I currently own a shiba inu and a Siamese cat. My shiba inu is a very shy and reserve dog, which has made her more dog aggressive. So, I have experience with dogs that require more patience and attention. For the summer I will have an open schedule. I will start school in the fall (Late August) and I will have reduced availability, but can be available on weekends. I will keep my calendar updated with any changes. I am flexible to your fur baby’s needs. I am happy to go on walks (long or short), playing fetch, or for any cats playing with their favorite toys. If they need water or food, I can provide help with that as well.
“My dog Juni can be pretty anxious but liked Bernadette from the moment she met her. I know Juni is not the easiest dog to walk but Bernadette was great! I booked her for reoccurring walks every week day for 8ish weeks. Would highly recommend :)”
About: I had a black lab growing up and I would take care of him! I also care for my friend’s dogs every now and then! I currently work for myself at home so I am very flexible on timing for walks! I could even be available day of if needed. I have my shared apartment to bring the dogs. Preferably I wouldn’t bring the dogs inside my own home but happy to walk them or care for them at your home.
“Lindsey is absolutely fabulous. I feel very lucky to have found her. She's been watching and walking my two Ridgebacks for six months and they get so excited to see her it's great to know they are in good hands.”

“Gregory was an amazing sitter. He went above and beyond to make sure Scout was not only safe, but happy. He took her on walks and to visit his mom. She got to make new doggy friends and sleep on his couch. We will definitely be using him again in the future.”
“All I can say is Wow! Everything was perfect with Sylvia and her pup Finn! The dogs got along so well and the yard is shaded and green. I got pictures during the stay and my dog, Deschutes was stretched out on the carpet with a face of contentment. Just what a dog owner wants to see!”
“Janice was an excellent sitter. My dog had a an unforeseen medical issue and Janice volunteered to take my dog to the veterinary clinic which was above and beyond expectations. Janice sent updates throughout the days my dog was in her care via pictures and short videos. I highly recommend Janice.”
“Erin was the best! She took great care of our dog. She was always super responsive and gave daily updates with pictures. Would for sure let her watch our dog again!”
“Nancy was an outstanding dog sitter for Zoey! From the moment I booked with her, she was incredibly communicative and made the entire process easy and stress free. Throughout Zoey’s stay, Nancy sent frequent updates, photos, and messages so I always knew how she was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zoey was in such caring and capable hands. I could tell Nancy genuinely cared about her and treated her like one her own. I would absolutely book with Nancy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter.”

“Julia and her family took great care of Ellie and she had many special experiences while staying with her. Ellie had other play time, sensory experiences, and time other dogs. Julia was a great communicator, sent daily updates, and was attentive to Ellie’s needs. We will definitely board with Julia again!”
“I was pretty nervous leaving our boys with anyone as they can be overwhelming to some. Jena and her whole family were wonderful and I could not be happier with how everything went. The boys were relaxed and happy at pick up and when they got home. Will definitely use Jena again!”

“Great sitter for our little fur pup! Had great communucation, always updated us daily, and gave plenty of pictures to see what our little rascal was up to. Followed any extra instructions given, and gave our dog the attention needed while dealing with a family emergency. Will definitely be using again, and couldn’t recommend more!!! A+++”
“Dave is AMAZING! 110% recommend. You can tell he's such a dog lover, and his yard and dogs are so sweet, socialized, and I know my pup had such a great time with them. Dave sent several videos giving updates throughout the stay, and when I came to pick up, I showed up to a freshly bathed pup as a nice surprise :) 10/10 recommend, will definitely be a returning customer!”
“This was my very first time using the Rover app, and Nicole completely exceeded my expectations! I was super nervous to leave my dog, but Nicole was so professional, warm, and attentive. The daily updates, photos & videos showed my dog was happy, fed, and perfectly cared for. If you want absolute peace of mind while you travel, hire her! 🫱🏼🫲🏽😊 I’ll definitely be bringing Milo back & I’m glad the boys got along so well 🥰!!”
“We left our little dog with Lucy while we were out of town for a week. Lucy took great care of him and was very communicative with photos and daily updates. She clearly cares about each individual dog she looks after and gives them the care they need. We would absolutely leave our dog with her again.”
