“They were excellent sitters who clearly love dogs. They took time for a premeeting to understand my dog before accepting the book. My dog looked relaxed in their backyard and enjoyed playtime. Bokdol came back in great shape. I’ll definitely leave him with them again!”
“Trisha took wonderful care of my 8 y.o. Lab. He came home from a 3 night stay very happy and seemed like he had a nice time in her home. Great communication, easy pickup/dropoff, sent pics etc. Will use her again!”
“So happy to have Susan watch our 2 Boston Terrier’s. We were in contact before and during their stay, she sent photos and nightly updates which I appreciated. She has many walking trails near her well kept home and a small outside area that the dogs loved to sun bathe. I would definitely trust Susan with our dogs next time we need help!”
“I cannot recommend Monisa and David enough! We boarded our dog Charlie for two weeks with them, and he was treated like family. Monisa and David were incredibly communicative, they kept in touch with us frequently, sending updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. It was very obvious Charlie enjoyed being with them ! He appeared happy and healthy upon our return . We will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for my dog, Friday. I was worried about how anxious my dog would get during Halloween, but she made sure he was comfortable and in a quiet space. I really appreciate her updates and the videos of our dogs playing together. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
“Mary was a phenomenal cat boarder! We’d never boarded our cats before and Mary allayed all our worries. She is very knowledgeable and experienced with cats and has a wonderful space set up for the ones she’s boarding. We received multiple, thoughtful updates and pictures on the cats each day and Mary reached out when there was information about their care that we had forgotten to provide. She also went above and beyond spending time hanging out and playing with them. We highly recommend Mary and will certainly rebook with her the next time we need to board our cats!”
“I had something come up at the last minute and Jie couldn’t have been more accommodating. She and her family took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated (with photos) every step of the way. Highest grade.”
“Returning customer! Teddy was absolutely thrilled to be reunited with Lauren. It was like seeing an old friend. We had a peace of mind being away from Teddy and Lauren gave us regular updates on how he was doing throughout the day. He might just be back for another stay over!”
“Svetlana and her husband were amazing once again! We felt so at ease knowing Mocha was staying with them. They truly loved on her as if she was their own which made us so happy! We got frequent updates and Mocha came back rested and happy.”
“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“Peter took excellent care of my dog while I was away! I received great photos and could tell he was in wonderful hands. He returned home happy, healthy, and exhausted from all of the fun he was having. I would highly recommend him!”
“My 5-month-old puppy had a fantastic time during her stay. She made a lot of puppy friends, and Marina & Anwar treated her with excellent care, treating her like one of their own. As it was our first time leaving our puppy, they made us feel at ease by consistently sharing pictures and videos. I plan on booking with them again and would suggest their services to others.”
“Very caring and attentive. Multiple pictures and short videos throughout the 2-week stay that were comforting to see. Speaking with Hong throughout the process was very easy and put my worries to rest. By pre-screening for temperament, Hong ensured that any other dogs being boarded (4 at most) would get along. I would recommend using Hong to anyone who wants a loving home and caring babysitter for their furry friend.”
“We had almost given up on Rover until we found Shipra! She and her entire family are such genuine dog lovers. They made our Penny feel like part of their family & addressed our concerns ahead of time. Penny’s 11+ yrs and had experienced separation anxiety in the past but not anymore! A big ‘Thank you” to the entire family & hopefully we will being seeing you again.”
“Lili and Matt did such a wonderful job watching our pooch. A+! Lili provided us with photos and video updates. Gave our dog (Koa) so much care and attention. I would definitely use them again. Thank you Lili & Matt.”
“Cindy took Dante on last minute and was super communicative. She gave him genuine care and love and that means so much to me and my pup, since he gets social anxiety. The photos she sent were PRECIOUS. So grateful to have found Cindy! She even sent detailed updates about how well he was eating and proactively asked if he had any health issues.”

“We had a great experience with Johnason. He followed all our instructions carefully and sent regular updates. Our cat was well cared for, and we really appreciated his reliability and kindness. Thank you”
“I’ve left my sweet boy with Pashmina twice and every time I feel confident he’s going to have a great time. He gets along well with her cat and Pashmina shares many pictures and videos during his stay so that I know how my cat is doing and feel comfortable. Whenever I go out of town, I plan to book with Pashmina.”
“Ayla was a great sitter! She was prompt and took good care of Gus while we were away. He was well fed and had nice company. We would love to have Ayla watch our cat again in the future.”
“Tiana took such great care of my 2 kittens! I would definitely rebook. She is very communicative, responsive, and sent me many pictures, videos, and updates throughout their stay with her. I felt confident and comfortable knowing that my kitties were in a safe and happy place! Thank you Tiana!”
“Bailey was very good with our cats, she went above and beyond with plant care too. I’ll definitely approach her again when I have to leave home for extended periods of time. She’s punctual and dedicated, my cats love her too”
“Isabel was awesome. She took great care of our cat while we were away! She stayed in touch and took lots of pics for us. Our kitty was definitely in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely look to Isabel again in the future”
“This was my first time using Rover and I had a great experience - I will definitely use the service again and hopefully Anne will be available. Anne was great! Very responsive and and on time. She was patient with my shy cat and eventually he approached her and asked for pets.”
“Tianying is easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond. Our cat needs medicine daily for diabetes, and we came home to a happy cat with good blood sugar level”
“Paige is absolutely wonderful! We had never used a home-visiting pet sitter before, but Paige has made me wonder why we waited so long. She is diligent, communicative, timely, and responsive — everything you could hope for in a caregiver. Leaving my beloved elderly rabbit in someone else's hands is no small thing, but Paige gave me such peace of mind that I was actually able to relax and enjoy a trip away for the first time in years. From the very start, she came for a meet-and-greet, carefully reviewed our care instructions, and then followed our rabbit's routine to the letter. Every time she came by, she sent regular texts and photos to keep me updated and make sure she had everything right. That level of attention to detail is rare — and for a pet with specific needs, it makes all the difference. I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Jenarae was absolutely amazing! I had never used Rover before and she was kind enough to have a first meet visit with me here and went through the entire process step by step for me. She was patient and so loving to my cat! He typically doesn’t enjoy new people, but he loved Jenarae. It’s so great to be able to keep my cat in his normal environment and know that someone who truly cares about him is giving home love and attention while I’m away. Thank you so much Jenarae!”
About: My background working for a veterinarian and medical animal rescue enables me to provide quality care for cats of all ages. I love getting to know each of their personalities and always respect their boundaries. You can rely on me to provide peace of mind while you’re away as I have been a cat sitter for 10 years. I’m more than happy to provide updates, especially for those extended trips!
“Alison goes above and beyond when caring for your pets, home, and car. She's always been so reliable and I will continue to use her service as long as she's willing. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care. I also have experience with cats and other critters, and I currently have all three myself, so I understand their unique needs and behaviors. I’ve worked alongside professional dog trainers, which has helped me build strong handling skills and better understand training, behavior, and safety. In addition, I’ve volunteered with animal shelters, giving me experience with a wide variety of temperaments and situations. I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I offer open availability for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the day, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s schedule, I keep my calendar as up to date as possible as well marking any days I will not be available. For the comfort and safety of all pets, I provide care in your home rather than mine. I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or just giving extra love and attention, I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care as my own.
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for cats. I’ve cared for my own cats and many others, providing feeding, litter care, playtime, cuddles, and gentle, patient attention. I’m comfortable administering medication if needed and always make sure each cat feels safe and loved. I can care for your cat at your home so they can stay comfortable in their own space. Your furry friend will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away.
About: I started dogsitting around my neighborhood two years ago and my business has grown very organically since then, with my name spreading from client to client. I have only just decided to get rover to further expand my client base. I now have 13 people who call on me for trusted, in house pet care. As a full time college student, this is the perfect job for me. I have a very pet-sitting friendly schedule. With classes monday-friday 9-1, I have the whole rest of the day to stay in your home and hang out with your pets. I trained my family dog to be a very well behaved, rule following pet, so I know how to handle family pets who are also trained to have certain behaviors. I’m also very active so I will gladly take your dog for a long walk.

“Kim is amazing, her house is beautiful, her two dogs are very well behaved, and I could not be happier with her services! She is very professional (knows a lot about dog training), communicates nicely, and my dog was better behaved when I picked her up than when I dropped her off!”
About: I have cared for dogs since I was young and know how to keep them happy. I dog sit my friends and family’s pets at my home whenever I get the chance. I am free on the weekends and look forward to go on walks and play with Daisy and our guest puppy. On Friday I’m free starting at 3 PM . My 13 and 9 year old daughter and son love to play with dogs. I have a large, fenced, grassy backyard and a doggy door so your dog can play in my yard whenever they want. There are no objects or anything for your dog to step on or eat in my house or backyard - it’s perfectly safe and puppy proofed here!
“Clara was amazing with our super energetic 10 month old puppy. She was very patient and took really good care of him. She was also very accommodating of my schedule and was willing to work around it. Guduchi looks forward to see his next stay with you.”
“This was our second experience with Susan in just a month—this time for daycare—and it confirmed everything we already felt about her. The moment Mochi’s paws touched the grass, she knew where she was. She sprinted to the front door, then to the garage looking for Susan, then back again—at one point even trying to crawl under the gate to get to her! It was hilarious, heart-melting, and such a clear sign of how special Susan is to her. Mochi absolutely adores her. At pickup, Mochi was happy to see me—but then ran right back to Susan for one last cuddle. It was priceless. Susan truly understands the perfect dog equation: a well-exercised + mentally stimulated + loved dog = a happy, content, and tired pup. Mochi was snoring the moment we got home! Whether you need daycare or an overnight stay, Susan is, without a doubt, the one.”
“My Siberian Husky has such a special bond with Fiona and her family! He runs to their door and is very impatient to go inside their house - his Tractive collar shows he gets hours of activity, and he always comes home tired and happy beyond what I could imagine. Definitely the best Rover we’ve ever had!”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs (and a few cats!) for about 10 years now. I always treat the pets I watch as if they were my own! I’m on the UCSC track and cross country team which means I’m pretty active, so if your pet loves long walks or runs, I’m all about it!! I’ll be available in Livermore this Summer from June 28-August 2nd **Boarding & Day Care: I have 2 cats at home so only cat-friendly dogs please! I’ll be available in Santa Cruz starting August 17th! I’m a college student, so during the school year (August-June), outside of going to class, I’m home most of the time! That means I have plenty of time to give your pet lots of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I just recently adopted 2 kittens and have been loving getting to learn the adorable quirks of cats, so I’d absolutely love to look after your cats as well ☺️ When I visit your pet in your home, I ensure all instructions are followed, everything is all cleaned up, and your pet is happy & loved!
“Leena is very nice and her home is setup perfectly to watch your fur babies. Her dog Prince is a sweet boy too. She provides walks, updates, pictures, and everything you can ask for from a sitter.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of our pup again, seems she’s warming up to you and the other pups. We appreciate your patience, and helping her work through the nerves. :) You are amazing! I love the continuous updates with photos/ videos! Great to see our girl running and having a good time.”
“Weiran did a wonderful job watching Mango. We felt completely at ease with Mango under her care. Grateful to have met a sitter that is attentive to Mango’s needs. Thank you Weiran!”
“We really enjoyed our experience with Qiyun and Benjamin! They were very communicative, gave updates, and my pup Yoshi clearly had a great time staying with them and got a lot of love and attention! We hope for Yoshi to stay with Qiyun and Benjamin again!”
“Krystal and Quinn are amazing dog sitters. They are so loving are caring. I will be using them for all my dog sitting needs going forward. They constantly text pictures and updates of your pet. Very reassuring to have. They are the best!”
“Phenomenally trustworthy and kind pet sitter. Our puppy doesn’t usually like when I’m not around but she was so excited to go see Ying that I’ll probably be moving forward with booking her weekly. Very communicative, responsible, and caring.”
“Could not ask for a better dog sitting family! Their house is very dog friendly! They took exceptional care of my very energetic 6 month old Aussie puppy!...could not be happier with them...strongly suggest!”
“We’re so happy we found Pamela! From our very first interaction, we had such a good feeling about her. Rex is a sensitive boy with separation anxiety, so we’re always a little nervous leaving him with someone new. But throughout his stay, we felt like he was in really good hands. Pamela sent us photo updates, which we absolutely loved, and it was so reassuring to see Rex having a good time. She was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which we really appreciated. When we picked Rex up, he was calm, happy, and not stressed at all. We’ve already booked several more stays with Pamela and are so glad we found someone we feel comfortable leaving Rex with. Highly recommend!! You’ll love her… but please don’t steal all of Rex’s future bookings! Haha 😂”

“Jenarae took care of our dog Ruby for 8 days and did an amazing job! Ruby was well taken care of and given lots of love (our cat Meg and our many fish were also given lots of attention and care). I received information each day about how Ruby was and what she was up to as well as lots of great pictures of her in action. I would highly recommend Jenarae for all your pet sitting needs.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting (no overnights), and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care all day (no overnights). I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.
“Christopher is the best— So much availability, trustworthy, and my dog gets so excited when he comes to the door, like more excited than he ever gets for me to walk him! 100 stars”
“Paige was very responsive & accommodating with our last minute request, and took great care of our dog Kiara during her walk. She was very gentle with Kiara, & it was evident that Kiara loved her walk. Will definitely be booking Paige again!”
“It was my first time using Rover and I’m nervous how my pup will handle it. I’m happy that I found Anne, she’s excellent from the day we did a meet and greet until the end. Very reliable and would send me updates and photos! My pup had a great time with her and enjoyed his walks with Anne. Definitely recommends her if you’re close by!”
About: I raised my own Scottish Terrier from 2010 to 2022. I would walk Terry with other dogs around Lake Elizabeth anytime there was the sun in the sky I’m free anytime from 8am to 2pm. I typically go for a walk around 9am or 10am anyways throughout the week or weekends so I would love any doggy companion. I live in a brand new apartment complex by Lake Elizabeth in Fremont. I love going for daily walks and bringing dogs to the dog park or a ring around the lake!
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life. Influenced by my dad who loves rescuing dogs, I've brought home my fair share of strays. I love animals and currently have two cats at home. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments. I currently work as a vet assistant and I am studying to be an RVT. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week that I can care for your furry kids. I have two cats at home that can keep your pets company. The house is made safe by putting any harmful chemicals and materials in areas where they cant be messed with.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !
About: A Housesitter across North America for several years now, I have built a wealth of experience with a variety of animals and homes . I worked as a dog sitter and walker in NYC for five years, raised my own puppy from 8 weeks old. Then traveled to the West, housesitting my way across the country from VA to CA, OR and CO. I provide daily photo and video updates of your pets and can make framed prints available to order. I have had pets in the home since I was a child, including birds and hamsters as well as cats, kittens and dogs. I am currently looking for summer work, having worked as a Ski Instructor all winter in Arapahoe Basin. When housesitting, it is my principal job and priority. I do not currently offer care for a pet in my home, unless of course, they are happy living and traveling in my Class C motorhome.
“Isabel was great with my two large dogs! She took time out of her day to do a meet and greet and was very helpful in making sure the dogs were taken care of! Looking forward to booking more walks with her!”
About: Hello Rover Pleasanton! I am ready to help care for your furry family members. Happy to walk once or multiple times a day. And of course play time may be included. Special requests by you are not a problem and yes, I love giving treats and lots of hugs. About this sitter: Pleasure to meet you! My name is Lauren and I would be honored to care for your furry family member. I am a dog lover and past owner (recently passed away). As a responsible dog owner I know what it's like to feel anxious about my dog's safety and well being when I'm not at home. Between myself and Rover.com, I think you will find the perfect dog walker! I feel it is essential for dogs to have at minimum 3 walks per day. As a responsible driver, I would also be willing to take your dog to its favorite dog park or open space. I will of course provide you with photos, and text updates, and any other special requests you may have. I hope to meet you and your dog soon! Why I love dog waking: Walks gives us a chance to get outdoors for some fun in sun while we run/walk off some energy, get some exercise, and strengthen social skills. Meet my pets: I have no pets living in my house. My experience administering medication: I am comfortable administering oral and injected medications. I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your furry floofs! I am pleased to walk and play once, or multiple times a day. We can walk familiar routs, go to the dog park, or hike some trails. Treats will always given. I will always send photos upon pick up, walk/play time and alert you upon drop off. I also intend to keep them on a lead while on walks.

It was very obvious Charlie enjoyed being with them ! He appeared happy and healthy upon our return . We will absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Kimberly was a great sitter for my dog, Friday. I was worried about how anxious my dog would get during Halloween, but she made sure he was comfortable and in a quiet space. I really appreciate her updates and the videos of our dogs playing together. Thanks, Kimberly!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Fiona!! She kept me updated with regular tests about my pup, which gave me so much peace of mind, and she truly made him feel right at home! The moment I picked him up, I could tell he was so happy and comfortable in her care. It means everything to know your pup is in such great hands I highly recommend her!!”
“Returning customer! Teddy was absolutely thrilled to be reunited with Lauren. It was like seeing an old friend. We had a peace of mind being away from Teddy and Lauren gave us regular updates on how he was doing throughout the day. He might just be back for another stay over!”
“Svetlana and her husband were amazing once again! We felt so at ease knowing Mocha was staying with them. They truly loved on her as if she was their own which made us so happy! We got frequent updates and Mocha came back rested and happy.”
“I highly recommend Lily to anyone looking for a sitter. She is very kind and friendly with dogs. Our dog is anxious in new places. Lily clearly understood her nature and took excellent care of her. This is the second time leaving our dog with her and our dog loves Lily. She sends daily updates with pictures which helped us be at ease and enjoy our vacation. Lily is the best and is one of my go to dog sitters.”
“My 5-month-old puppy had a fantastic time during her stay. She made a lot of puppy friends, and Marina & Anwar treated her with excellent care, treating her like one of their own. As it was our first time leaving our puppy, they made us feel at ease by consistently sharing pictures and videos. I plan on booking with them again and would suggest their services to others.”
“Very caring and attentive. Multiple pictures and short videos throughout the 2-week stay that were comforting to see. Speaking with Hong throughout the process was very easy and put my worries to rest. By pre-screening for temperament, Hong ensured that any other dogs being boarded (4 at most) would get along. I would recommend using Hong to anyone who wants a loving home and caring babysitter for their furry friend.”
“Cindy took Dante on last minute and was super communicative. She gave him genuine care and love and that means so much to me and my pup, since he gets social anxiety. The photos she sent were PRECIOUS. So grateful to have found Cindy! She even sent detailed updates about how well he was eating and proactively asked if he had any health issues.”
“Carolyn is truly incredible. From the moment Maverick—our 10-month-old pup—met her, she brought a sense of calm and command that he immediately responded to. He’s still young and was working through some anxiousness and fears of the unknown, and I honestly wasn’t sure how he would adjust while we were away. Over the six days he spent with her, his confidence transformed 100%. He went from whining and pacing to actually falling asleep on the short car ride home—a clear sign that the time he spent with Carolyn and the new habits she gently instilled helped him let go of so many worries. She gave him exactly what he needed: plenty of walks, car rides, and thoughtful trips to places with people to safely help him face his fears. These were things I didn’t think we could—or even should—do yet, but she handled everything with such expertise and intuition. I even learned a lot from this little trip. We’ve already decided she’s our primary caregiver whenever we’re out of town—maybe even for casual visits, because Maverick absolutely loved it there. Carolyn is amazing, and we’re so grateful to have found her.”
“Nina and Tony were absolutely incredible with our dog, Rain. From the moment we left for our trip, they made us feel completely at ease. They went above and beyond in every way possible, especially with their communication. We received frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and so many pictures and videos that we never had to wonder how Rain was doing. Finding someone you trust with your dog is difficult, but Nina and Tony exceeded every expectation we had. We came home to a happy pup! We would trust Nina and Tony with Rain again without a second thought. They are simply the best. Thank you soooooooooo much!”
“Daisy did an amazing job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. From the moment we picked them up, we could tell they had a great time-they came home happy, sleepy (LOL), and clearly well-loved. They got plenty of play time with Daisy's kids and their dog, which made it feel like a true family environment. Knowing our dogs were treated like part of the family meant everything to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Thank you so much Daisy and family for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and would absolutely book again!”
“The family clearly loves dogs and their dog Prince is true to his name. He buddied up with our lab so quickly at the meet and greet and they played the entire time. Our dog was so excited to visit after that one meeting. It’s clear they have been doing this a long time and we will definitely be going back !”
“Fang took great care of our dog Aspen during her weekend stay. She is very responsive and flexible and sent many updates with pictures and videos during her stay. Thank you so much for taking great care of our pup! Will definitely book again in the future 😊”
“Evelyn was amazing! I was a little nervous leaving Gracie with someone new, but she instantly put my mind at ease. She kept Gracie busy with tons of walks and fun adventures—and the photos she sent showed just how happy and loved Gracie was the whole time! It made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing my pup was in such great hands. I’m so grateful for the care Evelyn gave her & will definitely be using her again!”
“April and Josh did an amazing job taking care of my GermanShepard-Husky Stella. They sent me many photos and videos of how she was doing. My dog is usually very uncomfortable when I am away but she quickly adjusted to staying with them and their very sweet golden named Boba. I would highly recommend them”
“Thanks for taking excellent care of my dog, Friday while he was recovering from a leg injury. I loved all the pictures and updates. You were great at communicating and following all my extensive instructions 😅 and also were super flexible and helpful during a stressful period. You also really cared about my dog's well being, taking him on sniffing walks and car rides and playing games with him to keep him entertained. I would 100% recommend you both to other dog parents! Thank you!”
