“Diego was fabulous with my shy, sweet Mona dog. I would bring her back again for another Harbin hotsprings visit. He lives super close! I appreciated all his thoughtful questions and prompt communications.”
“Brandi did an awesome job taking care of my dogs, Tucker and Katie. I was worried about Tucker because he can be a grumpy old man. But I had nothing to be worried about. Brandi was able to read him and know when he needed some time alone. Both dogs came home super tired from all the play that had. Brandi updated with lots and lots of pictures showing the dogs playing, gave them a Pupcup treat from Starbucks, and gave them dry baths before they came home. I would recommend Brandi, she has good systems in place for watching dogs. We would use her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Tommy, my family and recently moved to Clearlake from Santa Rosa. I work nights and am home during the days, but my wife is here when I'm not and can help out if needed. We are all animal lovers here and enjoy having dogs. Unfortunately our own doggies have passed away recently. We aren't looking to get our own again just yet but would love to watch yours for a bit. :) I usually work from 10:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. so I get home around 6:30 at which point I will let the dogs out for some yard time. My wife and son will be up around 7:00 and I know my son will be excited to go for a walk. My wife will be the caregiver until I wake up around 1:00 p.m. so one of us will be around at all times. We have a fenced fully fenced in yard and no other animals on the property, and there will always be someone here to take care of your pet.
“Virginia was SO sweet and took such good care of my dogo. It was his first time being left with someone other than me or family & he LOVED it. She sent updates every day & communicated very well when I had mentioned I was nervous leaving him. He acted like he didn’t wanna leave when I picked him up! Definitely recommend!”
“Kyle and his family took wonderful care of Koko! They took him on long walks and sent plenty of photo updates, which I really appreciated. They were even patient enough to spoon-feed Koko when he was being a picky eater. Kyle is very responsive and flexible with timing. I will definitely book with them again!”
About: From dogs and cats to squirrels, chickens, pigs, goats, kittens, hybrid wolves, tortoises, snakes, and birds, I have cared for many wonderful baby and adult animals. I currently work part time and am fairly flexible. Weekends are usually open. I can come to your house during the week in the morning and-or after 2pm. Geyserville, Healdsburg, Cloverdale. At my house, I have a fenced yard. My pets are easygoing and used to visiting friendly dogs and cats. I also have a kennel that can be used for small dogs or kittens.
“Tim did awesome with my puppy Bogie. I deal with anxiety and Tim helped keep me calm and not worrying by sending pictures and texting me how Bogie was doing. It was the first time I’ve left him with anyone. Bogie and Cali did great together. I think they might be missing each other a bit. lol. Definitely will book again when I need to leave Bogie.”
“We were able to get in with Lauren on pretty short notice. Her family was great with (my dog) Rooster. He has a past that can make him a little nervous and anti-social and they were very patient with him.”
“Words can’t even express how much we truly appreciate Michael and Casey! Talk about two people who love your pet as if it is their own. After having a terrible experience at a boarding facility, where we picked up our golden retriever who was severely ill and depressed, we were so worried about leaving him for our next vacation. From the first point of contact with Michael and Casey, we knew our dog would be in good hands. After 7 days in Hawaii, we came back to a happy, healthy and very loved dog. We just can’t thank them enough!”
“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Crystal! She took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent pictures on a regular basis and was quick to respond. She took him to Petco and was sweet enough to send him home with a treat. Her dog Rosie was a great playmate too. 5 stars!”
About: I provide individualized care for every dog, whether it’s playful energy for puppies or gentle attention for seniors. I’m experienced with training basics, medication administration, and building trust with anxious dogs. My goal is to keep every pup happy, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I plan my days around pet visits and walks, ensuring consistent feeding times, exercise, and companionship. Pet care is an important, dedicated part of my weekly schedule. Whether in my home or yours, I create a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for. I stick to their routines, provide exercise, and keep communication open with updates and photos.
“Karen was amazing!! It was a short notice and she welcomed Rascal with open arms. I had a fear of leaving g him with someone as he's a bit of a nipper. But Karen and Rascal got along from the beginning. She helped him out and trained him as well as made him feel comfy and at home. Will for sure work with Karen again on my next need to house Rascal. Thanks Karen!!!”
“I booked with Earl super last minute so I really appreciated him getting back to me and watching Norma. She stayed for one night and seemed very relaxed when I got her back which I thought was awesome. Earl sent me some photos of her during her stay to keep me updated. Will definitely book again :)”
“I was warried leaving my shy dog but Lynette's experience was so valuable. She shared how Moorea felt comfortable after we left text and sent photos throughout the day. She knew exactly what to do with a shy dog and this saves so much time. It was a great experience and will be booking our vacation soon. My dog loves big dog and her dog Tori was so well behaved and sweet around Moorea.”
About: I will spoil your dog with attention and provide you with complete peace of mind. You can rest assured that your dog is safe and happy and getting the care you specify (such as health needs or special diet) and the love your dog wants (games, walks, toys, treats, hugs, and other canine amusements). My work is part-time, online, and at my own pace, so I can easily shift my attention to your dog's needs for walks and playtime. I have a small fenced yard with artificial grass, and there is a large park at the end of the street, two or three small parks in the neighborhood, and a 2-mile trail to downtown. I have whatever a dog needs but ideally, pets should arrive with their own favorite "furniture," toys, and treats.
“Michelle is wonderful! Even though our dog is nervous in new situations, she made Callie feel welcomed and safe right away. Michelle was a great communicator before and during the stay. I won’t hesitate to book with Michelle again!!”

“Diego did a phenomenal job with our 3 cats while we were on a weekend trip! He sent updates and pictures on every visit and we could tell our kitties had a great time! They were happy and relaxed when we got home.”
About: Hi, I’m Karina. I’m fun, energetic and love to cuddle just like your pup! I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals, but by far my favorite were all the dogs we owned. I’ve had small cuddly dogs like maltipoos and little terrier mixes to large golden retrievers and springer spaniel border collie mixes. For the last 3 years I worked full-time with Bonehemian Wags, the premium dog care company based in Sebastopol. I specialized in pack walking, training and socialization, so there’s no need to worry that your beloved family member is in the right hands! I love to adventure and take my own two dogs out on long hikes or to the beach. My younger dog is a German short-haired pointer. If you don't know of the breed, they are full of energy...CONSTANTLY. You can be sure if your pup comes to stay with us, they will leave tired. Whether we go on a hike, take them into town with us for some socialization or explore our property here, they will not be bored. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions/concerns. I am already engaging and exercising our own dogs daily, so having yours tag along only adds to the fun. I have my two large dogs who are very friendly and obedient, so no bad behaviors will be passed on here. Our older dog tends to keep to himself but our younger gsp loves to make new friends and has yet to fail to convince another pup they won't have a good time playing together. Although my dogs are off leash most of the time, they are well trained in leash walking as well, which is a great way to introduce your dog to mine. We love to have fun and be silly around here, but above all like to keep our dogs safe. After all they are family! I’m currently spending my days working with dogs as much as I can. From walking to boarding, training and almost anything in between. Dogs are always on the schedule! I have a spacious fenced in yard and plenty of space in doors, as well as crates if your pup needs some space to themselves.
“Jacqueline did an amazing job watching after my two cats while I was away! She even helped with the bearded dragon while she was there to keep all my animals happy and healthy ❤️ I would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve taken early retirement and have a lot of time in my hands. I have been pet sitting for a client with four dogs, a chihuahua , two frenchies and occasionally a German shepherd in their home. I cook their food, and I am a great housecleaner so your space will be nice when you come back home. I will take loving care of your cat or dog, only one pet at a time unless they are from the same household. I do not have any pets of my own at this time, which allows me flexibility in my schedule to be able to pet sit. I look forward to taking care of your fur baby. I took early retirement, so I will be home with the pet all day and night for whatever is needed. I have experience with senior dogs and frenchies. I am clean and considerate and love to spend time with animals. Your pet will receive personal attention and care with affection. I look forward to taking care of your pets.
About: Caring for cats has always been a joy for me. I’ve spent years looking after them at home and have come to truly appreciate their unique personalities. Cats may be known for their independence, but they also have a deep need for affection and companionship—on their own terms, of course! I understand how to respect a cat's space while also recognizing those sweet moments when they want to cuddle, play, or simply sit nearby. From keeping their litter box clean to making sure they’re eating well and feeling secure, I provide the calm, attentive care that helps cats feel at ease in their own environment. Whether your kitty is shy or a total lap cat, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away.
“Siarra was great. She checked on our two older cats over a weekend for us. Spent time with them, emptying litter boxes, feeding them and sending us some good pictures. I would definitely recommend her, and I’m sure we will use her again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own cat Sophie, for about 2 years now. I treat her like a princess and clean up after her every day. She’s become so healthy over the years, she was the runt of a litter so I had to put a lot of more time into her.
“Christine is the best!!! I found her to be exactly the person I was hoping for as she is smart, kind, gentle, and knowledgeable. What a treasure. I had no worries at all. She is my person for future needs with my poodles.”
“Lauren is honestly the best! I went out of town and she came by once a day to care for my cat Pepper for nine days! She went above and beyond taking pictures with her and playing with her and taking videos and sending them to me and giving me my daily check-ins, in addition to just the normal feeding and changing her litter box. Pepper loved her time with Lauren and I honestly think Pepper has been missing her since she is gone because she played with her so much. She is so mellow, so sweet, so friendly, so reliable and responsible, and I knew pepper was in the best of hands when I was a 6 hour plane ride away! I absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for sure!”
About: My first pet at the age of 5 was a cat, my best friend, Lenard. Followed by Lizzy and another from her first litter named Chaos! I have a soft spot for senior cats. I'll happily provide whatever care they need, sitting and feeding by hand, cleaning the spots they just can't manage or simply letting them take a nap on my chest.
About: I’ve taken care of cats for over 15 years and have volunteered with the Humane Society and several rescues. I’m comfortable with all personalities, including shy or anxious cats. Since I work remotely, I’m home throughout the day to provide consistent care, attention, and a low-stress environment.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for 30 years. I have two Pittbull mixes , one boxer Pitt and one Pitt bulldog. The Pitt Bull Dog has intervertebral disk disease and used my training in occupational therapy and massage and did physical therapy with him myself so he could use his back legs again, after being paralyzed and needing a wheelchair. He’s now able to walk without his wheelchair. I’ve also taken pittbull training classes with them and am knowledgeable about training cues. I currently work as a distribution sales executive, and work from home, so have free time in the afternoons and weekends. I have a baby and two dogs of my own and would still be able to take some time to visit other dogs in my area. I can check on pets during the day or while clients are on vacation . I can take them on walks, let them out in the yard, play fetch , feed them , snuggle them, and even give medicine.
“This is my first time with a sitter, and I was a bit anxious considering my fur-baby does not like being alone for long. Laura was wonderful! She kept me updated and sent me pictures as well. Will definitely have her as a sitter again! Thank you!”

“Diego was absolutely fantastic with my 13lb girl. He took time to meet her and learn about her personality and let her get adjusted. He asked a lot of important questions about her and is an extremely professional and sensitive care giver. By the end of her time with him, she allowed him to pick her up, which is a huge sign of trust for her. I would recommend Diego to any pet owner looking for someone to trust with their precious non-humans.”

But, I also have rescued and raised 2 cats, an exotic parrot, tortoise, turtle, possums, tarantula, rats and mice, ferret, hermit crabs, and fresh and saltwater aquariums.

I believe that all pets should be loved and cared for with the utmost respect. Your pet will be cherished.
“Very professional and understands the individual personality of each dog. He did very well with my nervous Husky, and they were besties in no time. I highly recommend and will continue to trust Tim with Marley and Murphy.”
About: Hello I’m a dedicated, honest, and reliable pet sitter/walker. I have loved animals my whole life, my family has always had multiple dogs at a time. I was 16 when I started working at a doggy day care (called stay and play dog care), where I got to work around no less than 15 dogs at a time and I absolutely loved it. I was in charge of walking, feeding, training, playing and occasionally staying the night with them. I have the ability to walk up to 8 dogs at one. I left that job for schooling to become a Certified Veterinary Assistant, I am currently working in the veterinary field but I would love to pet sit in my free time. I have crates and a fenced yard for any time dogs will have to be left alone but I try my best not to leave them while they are in my care. I will care for your pet like one of my own. I am currently home full time so I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets while they’re in my care! While your pets are in my home they will have lots of toys to play with as well as fresh water in several different locations. I do recommend that you bring the food your pet is used to as the less change the better for your animals stress levels.
“Gary watched my nervous little pup while work was being done at my place. My pup doesn’t warm up to everyone but he loved Gary and spent the whole time in his lap. Gary clearly loves dogs and was very caring with my special guy.”
“I 100% recommend Crystal and Rosie! I contacted her last minute asking her to watch my pitbull Lucy. Crystal scheduled a meet and greet the very next morning. Lucy instantly fell in love with both Crystal and Rosie. Crystal sent me updates a few times a day to make me feel comfortable. Lucy cant wait to go back!”
“Very nice sitter. Has great size fenced in yard. Very friendly and accommodating (wasn't sure what time I would be picking up Sophia but was no problem). Highly recommend & will use again if available.”
“Brandi is fantastic! My dog enjoys being at her house and I leave her knowing she is in fully competent hands. My dog has some better behaviors she needs to learn and Brandi always has tips to help me with training her to be a good girl. I’m so happy to have found Brandi.”
About: I love animals. I’m compassionate, caring, dependable, honest and sincere. I’ve been around dogs all of my life. I’m a mom of two boys, a caregiver and I also have two dogs of my own. Before starting a family, I volunteered at local animal shelters and worked at the Marin Humane Society for almost a year as an animal care technician. Also, my older son is studying to become a vet tech and has a lot of personal experience with dogs and cats himself.I believe that pets are an integral part of the family and should be treated as such. You can count on me to provide the best service for your pet. Have a “ pawsitively” wonderful day! I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I work as a direct support professional for a group home for disabled women in Windsor. I have a split shift schedule, and have Fridays and Sundays off. It’s only about a ten minute commute to work across town. I also volunteer at an animal sanctuary once a week. I have extensive experience with animals. I have a fenced yard and a one level home. I no longer have two small dogs of my own, a Jack Russel/chihuahua mix and a shitzu/maltese/bichon mix +, one passed away in October and the other in January of this year from old age. I treat each pet I care for as if they were my own. With love , compassion, patience and attention to detail and safety.

“Deborah is great! My pups were in good hands and she really enjoyed them. They had smiles on their faces and wagging tails when I got there to pick them up. I cannot recommend her more. Definitely would do repeat business with her again.”
About: I have co existed with dogs my entire life, and began dog walking and dog sitting regularly nearly 10 years ago. I also have spent numerous years working for a local dog boarding facility.

About: I have experience in working as a kennel technician for Clearlake, Californias animal hospital and I have pet sit/ house watched and dog walked since my adolescent years. :) I truly enjoy meeting new animals to care for, building family/ friend relationships and helping my community with their pet care and needs. :D I have had many animals in my life, I currently do not have any at the moment. It’s a pleasure to enjoy the companionship and accompany any and all of the clients (owners) animals service requests through the Rover app. Please feel free to ask me anything about my pet care experience! I am able to do drop-ins and weekends. I love having a good idea of a routine for each animal I care for. It gives me a good idea of their needs, what they want and expect of me! I care for them with nothing but love. I offer about any services. Please do ask and share details for the basic or extensive care you desire and wish for your pets needs and everyday lifestyle and living essentials.
About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10 years old, and over the years, it's become second nature to me. I have hands-on experience with both small breed dogs and cats, and I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just some quiet cuddles, I know how to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m also very attentive to pets’ bathroom cues and routines—an important part of keeping them healthy and happy. Currently, I have a pug and a labrador at home, so I’m very familiar with both the playful energy of larger dogs and the special care smaller breeds often require. Your furry friend will be in loving, experienced hands! As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility and time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine—I’m able to provide regular check-ins, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions without any rush. Because I’m home most of the time, your pets won’t be left alone for long stretches. I can easily adapt to their schedule, whether that means early morning feedings, midday walks, or keeping them company during the quieter parts of the day. My flexible work setup allows me to be present, responsive, and fully committed to your pet’s comfort and well-being. At my home, your pet will feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a fully fenced yard, which is perfect for dogs to run, play, and get their exercise in a secure space. Whether it’s a quick potty break or some time to burn off energy, they’ll have room to move around freely and safely. Inside, I have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or just need a quiet, cozy space to relax. I always make sure pets feel at ease, whether they prefer lounging indoors, exploring the yard, or snuggling up for some one-on-one attention. Your pet will be treated like part of the family in a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment.
“Laura is getting to know Yogee and also getting better at walking him. He is a energetic puppy and needs a good well paced walk. She is very patient with him which is lovely as he is slowly adapting to her. I hope to have her walk Yogee more in the future. She was very helpful and even started using the Rover cards. She is a really nice person.”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life and have over 15 years of experience caring for them. I’ve also volunteered with the Humane Society and multiple rescues, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I work remotely, which means I’m home and available to give pets lots of attention, care, and playtime.

I’m able to accommodate walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins as needed, and I’m flexible with scheduling to fit your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daytime care, overnights, or extended stays, I’m able to provide a reliable and low-stress environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment and always follow each pet’s routine closely.

About: I am a kind, reliable, loving college student who loves spending time with furry friends. I have two dogs of my own and have had a few felines as well in my household. I have volunteered at animal shelters and shadowed veterinarian hospitals and I learned I rather spend time having fun with animals and taking care of them in a surrounding that is most comfortable for them. I am honest and value honesty and integrity as well as family. Our pets are a part of our family and I know from experience it can be hard leaving them home alone for a week or couple of hours. I am here to make that easier by relieving the stress of the unkown of what is happening with your pet at home by being with them and taking excellent care of them. I am available week days and weekend to sit, walk or visit your furry friends from 6am-8pm which give me plenty of time to play and make sure your pets are taken care of. While taking care of your furry friends I make sure that they are safe and follow any instructions left by you to keep them happy and safe.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of dogs for 30 years. I have two Pittbull mixes , one boxer Pitt and one Pitt bulldog. The Pitt Bull Dog has intervertebral disk disease and used my training in occupational therapy and massage and did physical therapy with him myself so he could use his back legs again, after being paralyzed and needing a wheelchair. He’s now able to walk without his wheelchair. I’ve also taken pittbull training classes with them and am knowledgeable about training cues. I currently work as a distribution sales executive, and work from home, so have free time in the afternoons and weekends. I have a baby and two dogs of my own and would still be able to take some time to visit other dogs in my area. I can check on pets during the day or while clients are on vacation . I can take them on walks, let them out in the yard, play fetch , feed them , snuggle them, and even give medicine.

“Diego was fabulous with my shy, sweet Mona dog. I would bring her back again for another Harbin hotsprings visit. He lives super close! I appreciated all his thoughtful questions and prompt communications.”
“Brandi did an awesome job taking care of my dogs, Tucker and Katie. I was worried about Tucker because he can be a grumpy old man. But I had nothing to be worried about. Brandi was able to read him and know when he needed some time alone. Both dogs came home super tired from all the play that had. Brandi updated with lots and lots of pictures showing the dogs playing, gave them a Pupcup treat from Starbucks, and gave them dry baths before they came home. I would recommend Brandi, she has good systems in place for watching dogs. We would use her again!”
“Virginia was SO sweet and took such good care of my dogo. It was his first time being left with someone other than me or family & he LOVED it. She sent updates every day & communicated very well when I had mentioned I was nervous leaving him. He acted like he didn’t wanna leave when I picked him up! Definitely recommend!”
About: From dogs and cats to squirrels, chickens, pigs, goats, kittens, hybrid wolves, tortoises, snakes, and birds, I have cared for many wonderful baby and adult animals. I currently work part time and am fairly flexible. Weekends are usually open. I can come to your house during the week in the morning and-or after 2pm. Geyserville, Healdsburg, Cloverdale. At my house, I have a fenced yard. My pets are easygoing and used to visiting friendly dogs and cats. I also have a kennel that can be used for small dogs or kittens.
“Tim did awesome with my puppy Bogie. I deal with anxiety and Tim helped keep me calm and not worrying by sending pictures and texting me how Bogie was doing. It was the first time I’ve left him with anyone. Bogie and Cali did great together. I think they might be missing each other a bit. lol. Definitely will book again when I need to leave Bogie.”
“We were able to get in with Lauren on pretty short notice. Her family was great with (my dog) Rooster. He has a past that can make him a little nervous and anti-social and they were very patient with him.”
“Susan was an amazing caretaker for Ryder this past weekend! She took him on several fun walks and made it feel like a little vacation for him. We loved receiving her updates and adorable photos throughout his stay. Ryder was clearly very well cared for, and we would absolutely love to have Susan help with him again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Crystal! She took great care of my dog while I was away. She sent pictures on a regular basis and was quick to respond. She took him to Petco and was sweet enough to send him home with a treat. Her dog Rosie was a great playmate too. 5 stars!”
“Karen was amazing!! It was a short notice and she welcomed Rascal with open arms. I had a fear of leaving g him with someone as he's a bit of a nipper. But Karen and Rascal got along from the beginning. She helped him out and trained him as well as made him feel comfy and at home. Will for sure work with Karen again on my next need to house Rascal. Thanks Karen!!!”
“I booked with Earl super last minute so I really appreciated him getting back to me and watching Norma. She stayed for one night and seemed very relaxed when I got her back which I thought was awesome. Earl sent me some photos of her during her stay to keep me updated. Will definitely book again :)”
“I was warried leaving my shy dog but Lynette's experience was so valuable. She shared how Moorea felt comfortable after we left text and sent photos throughout the day. She knew exactly what to do with a shy dog and this saves so much time. It was a great experience and will be booking our vacation soon. My dog loves big dog and her dog Tori was so well behaved and sweet around Moorea.”
About: I will spoil your dog with attention and provide you with complete peace of mind. You can rest assured that your dog is safe and happy and getting the care you specify (such as health needs or special diet) and the love your dog wants (games, walks, toys, treats, hugs, and other canine amusements). My work is part-time, online, and at my own pace, so I can easily shift my attention to your dog's needs for walks and playtime. I have a small fenced yard with artificial grass, and there is a large park at the end of the street, two or three small parks in the neighborhood, and a 2-mile trail to downtown. I have whatever a dog needs but ideally, pets should arrive with their own favorite "furniture," toys, and treats.

“Roxy had a grand time— we know this because of all the videos Debby shared each day and because Roxy at first refused to leave when we picked her up. Outstanding dog person in every way!”
About: I have always had a love of all animals from small to big. I love to be around dogs and play as much as I can. While in my care, I will take the dogs for an active walk and then let them run around the dog park for an hour. Sometimes longer if they are having a lot of fun. It's a solo walk right now but I have walked two at a time in the past. There are other times where I will just take them to the park and run them around and then walk back home. While in the home they will be showered in love and fun play time. Followed by more love and any snacks that you leave for your furry kids.
“Sarah was great to work with! She went out of her way to bring our bernadoodle (Berkeley) to our wedding 15 minutes away so that she could be the ring bearer! Highly recommended Sarah and will use her anytime we are up in Sonoma!”
“We had a dog care need come up with two weeks notice and Sheila was able to help us out. This was our first time using Rover for a sitter or boarding and Sheila (with her husband) made Rory feel at home. She got her cuddles, scritches, treats and a big yard to run after the ball. I loved the updates and pictures of Rory enjoying her weekend doggy getaway.”
“My dog and her dog Lou got along great. When we did our meet and greet I could see how she was spot on with how they would get along. It was great getting videos and feed back throughout her stay. She knew exactly what I was worried about and knew to let me know how things were going. We have two more stays booked and feel at ease knowing that I don't have to worry.”
