“Adriana and Cameron were amazing with our little pug Leia! Being that this was the first time we left her with a non family member, we were anxious. We received multiple check-ins and pictures which put us at ease. They were also so accommodating with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely book in the future. It looked like Leia had a blast!!!”
“Truly amazing! My 2 year old lab is what we call “socially awkward”. She’s very friendly with people but can be timid and shy with other dogs. However, she really thrived while staying with Madison and her husband. I cannot thank them enough for all of the photos and updates of our girl while we were away for the fourth of July weekend. We knew she was in great hands and taken well care of. We definitely will be rebooking for future trips. Thank you!”
“This was my first time using Rover in addition to having someone I didn’t know watch my dog and I have to say I had a great experience. Makayla was a dream to find, she had great communication, sent me updates and photos and genuinely cared for my Baloo. I knew as soon as I met her Baloo was going to be in good hands and you can tell how much she loves animals. I will absolutely use her again and can’t recommend enough.”
“Cheryl did an excellent job of keeping me up to date on my baby and a full review of his experience when I picked him up. It’s clear Cheryl cares about your pet as well as you hope. My dog was challenging for her and she did the work to make him as calm as she could until I returned. I’ll take my dog back to her when I need care again. Thanks Cheryl.”
“Cosmo has been with Dustin and his family four times now and he always loves it! He comes home happy and properly worn out from all the great play time. We can’t imagine taking him anywhere else.”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“Whitney is an absolute gem!!! Parker was instantly cozy staying with Whitney while I traveled out of town. Whitney sent me photos of Parker and she even offer to pick/drop him off ! Super convenient!!! I’m definitely reaching out to Whitney again and would highly recommend her ?”
“Amber and the family made Cali feel like a member of the family. From the start the technique used to introduce her dogs To Cali was great. Received daily updates and photos. Already have a couple more stays booked.”
“This is the best experience we had in Rover so far..Scott and Ping are very caring and attentive -the perfect pawrents ..they sent us constant updates,pics,videos ,our babies were taken care of as their own..we didn’t have to worry at all while we were away!Our babies seemed healthy and happy and absolutely loved their new friends..made us very assured and stressfree..theres no complaint at all and this is the best we could ask for..THANK YOU SO MUCH!??”
“Mark was amazing with my dog, Ollie, for the long weekend he had him. He sent photos of him cuddling on the couch and laying out in the sun, my dog’s two favorite things to do so I knew he was in good hands. When I picked up Ollie up he was happy and healthy. Mark was also very responsive, communicative and understanding throughout Ollies stay. Really couldn’t recommend him enough.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Savannah is fantastic! I have three dogs, and she took wonderful care of all three while I was gone. Savannah is very responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with. She kept me updated with photos daily. The dogs were so happy when I came to get them, and they settled very quickly when they got home - always a sign that they were well exercised and loved. She also has a great backyard for dogs. I would highly recommend Savannah to care for your dog(s)!”
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Was able to get my dogs, Nova and Chowie, in last minute and couldn’t be happier! I got lots of photo updates, and they looked like they were having the best time. They almost didn’t want to leave, lol. Definitely recommend!”
“Carolina is a such a wonderful sitter, her care and attention is evident from the initial messages to drop off, all throughout the stay and pick up. I would highly recommend her to care for your pup.”
“So great! Jess was welcoming, patient, and obviously has such good experience with dogs. Her communication was timely and consistent, and she cared for our puppy like one of her own. Additionally, her fur baby, Stroopy, was such a wonderful playmate! Looking forward to more family getaways with the knowledge that our pup will be comfortable and loved. Thank you!”
“So kind to our pups and made it so easy to coordinate. Super fast response times and sent lots of pics while the pups were with them. They even sent them home with cute bandanas that we will cherish always. Amazing care takers!”

“Kaitlyn did a great job taking care of our 2 cats over the holiday weekend. She was communicative and it looked like the cats had a fun time hanging out with her. Will book again ?”
“Andrea is my go to sitter when I need help with my 2 pups when I'm not around. It's hard to find people you can trust so it's puts my mind at ease knowing Andrea will show up and love on them.”
“Loren was so great and helpful while we were traveling! She was responsive the entire time we were gone and she gave our kitty the meds she needs every day. She gave them treats and looked after them with lots of care, we will absolutely contact her again should the need arise :)”
“From the start Shelby and Dalton made us feel so comfortable leaving our lil fur babies in their care. They came to our place 2x a day. This was our first time doing this and they will be the only sitters we go with. They were amazing with jinx and pumpkin, so much that our lil anxious rescues started going up to her on day 2! She sent pictures every visit with updates on them. We can’t say enough great things about them.”
“Alexis was amazing and very communicative! I had never used Rover before and she made it really easy to check in on my cats while I was away. She sent the most adorable photos of my cats and I’m shocked at how quickly they warmed up to her. My cats are usually super shy but they even let her give belly rubs. High praise from my cats and high praise from me. Will definitely utilize her again next time we’re away!”
About: With 13 years of cat care experience, I am deeply familiar with feline behavior across all life stages. From the high energy of raising kittens to the delicate, specialized needs of senior cats, I handle every personality with patience. I am fully confident administering medications in various forms and view routine tasks like deep-cleaning litter boxes as a breeze. Whether your cat craves engaging playtime and mental stimulation or simply needs a calm, reassuring presence while you are away, I adapt completely to their comfort level.
“Maureen came to my place when I had to be away for an overnight trip. She took AMAZING care of my kitty Edmund by making sure he took his meds. She came armed with cat treats and a pill popper. I love how prepared she came. She is an experienced animal sitter and I will definitely book her again.”
“Stephanie took care of my cat, including giving medicine, at my apartment while I was away. She communicated before and after arrival, as well as upon leaving my place. She also shared a few pictures. I would definitely invite her to house sit again. Thank you!”
“Lara did an excellent job taking care of my two 🐈 .She was always on time and very reliable, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the regular updates she provided after each visit—it was reassuring to know how my cats were doing and that they were in good hands. She was attentive, caring, and clearly experienced with pets. My cats were well taken care of, and I could tell they were comfortable with her. I would definitely recommend Lara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and responsible pet sitter!”
“Amber took excellent care of our senior cat. Rusty needs daily injections and Amber was able to give him this medication without any stress to him. I would recommend Amber without hesitation and will rebook in future.”

“First time using Rover or any doggie day care. I felt comfortable with them even before I booked the appointment. They took the time to answer all my questions. Via messages. Promptly I will add. The day of our visit Cameron greeted us at my car, asked a few more questions, as did I. I felt like a mom dropping her kid @ school for the 1st time. He eased my mind and sent videos and pictures of my girl enjoying herself. Definitely will be a repeat customer.”
“Shelby and Dalton are the best! They are so responsive and accommodating!! Literally lifesavers, I work really long hours and my husband, who usually watches our dog during the day, had to travel for work last minute. Shelby and Dalton agreed to watch my pup on one of my long days and were so understanding and flexible when I had to pick her up later in the evening - truly I don’t know what I would’ve done without them! They treated her as if she were their own and she LOVED playing with their sweet pup and cuddling with one of the cats, and I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day. I couldn’t recommend them enough, I will definitely be taking her back to hangout and play with her new best friends!”
“Saddaf is so sweet and quick to respond. She really helped out when I was in a pinch for a day sitter. Her timely coordination made me feel at ease and my dog felt comfortable right away.”
“Madison & Moses are awesome! So easy to communicate with and both have a great, calm energy that was perfect for helping my shy, anxious, rescue pittie feel right at home. It’s clear they’re both well-versed in dog behavior and I appreciate that they met my dog right where she was at. They had no issues giving her the time, space and patience needed to open up in her own time - it made all the difference. Thankful to have found them!”
“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”
“I can tell our pup Mochi had a great time with Christina and her fiance, They took him out on a few walks, and gave him lots of attention! Great communication and sent us lots of pictures!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many animals. We have raised our girls with many pets including: chickens, bunnies, several foster and adopted dogs, and rescuing cats that would have been euthanized to live on our farm. We have 1 acre of fully fenced yard in a cozy community. We recently had to put down our sweet pit bull and are looking to opening up our homes to care for others pets at this time. We have a lot of love to give and would appreciate your consideration. I work from home so I am available all day and night excluding of course picking up kids and family activities. We have 4 daughters, 2 of which have graduated high school and in college, 1 going into high school and a 9 year old. They have all had extensive experience with many animals and been involved with agriculture in their middle and high schools. We presently have 2 cats (one of which is fully outdoor and one that comes in at night to sleep). We understand that many individuals have cats that are fully indoor and we have ample space, beds and furniture for your cat to feel comfortable. We are also BIG dog people and missing our sweet pit bull. We have a great neighborhood for taking walks, a 1 acre fully fenced yard for running and playing in. We will keep all cats indoors at all times. We will have any animals that stay with us in our home at night and have dogs go out frequently to play.
“Eden is so sweet and takes great care of my fur babies. She constantly updates me with photos and videos. She is also very understanding about last minute changes. I will definitely book with her again!”
“My little man Brady absolutely loved his time with Lucy and Stella. Huge thanks to Taylor and Andrew I can’t say enough good things! Being able to be absent without the stress of his well being is priceless. This was our first time using Rover and couldn’t be happier. We will absolutely be back sooner than later!”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around pets, caring for them with love and dedication. After my own dog, Techa, passed away, I realized I still have so much love to give, even if I’m not quite ready to adopt again. That became part of my own journey with pets, and it’s why I opened my home to welcome and care for other families’ dogs. I don’t just stay home with them, I take them out, observe them closely, and tune into what they need and what makes them feel happy and safe. I have a natural intuition with dogs and pay close attention to their behavior and energy so they feel understood and comfortable. I also love sending lots of photos and videos so you can feel connected and at ease while you’re away, just like I would want for my own dog. . Be prepared for some cute photo bombing! Because I work remotely, your dog will have constant companionship, care, and lots of love throughout the day. I’m available for weekends and extended stays, and I always send daily photo and video updates for peace of mind. I have a fenced yard with a small garden, and there are no other animals in the house, so your pet will receive my full attention. I believe animals need daily outings to stay healthy and happy, so I offer at least two walks a day, either short or long depending on their needs. Playtime and affection are also essential parts of my care routine. If I care for your pet at their home, I make sure to follow their regular routine, so they feel comfortable and secure in their own environment. I also send daily photos and videos to owners so they can relax knowing their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for
About: Growing up I have always had dogs on the property and consider them part of the family. I believe a well trained dog is loved by its owner. I am an animal lover who want to help those who have a hard time with placement. I enjoy spending time with other people's pets because I am unable to have one for myself at this time. I am currently retired so I have time to spend with them daily. I can take them to parks, beach, lakes, etc. Depends on breed and how active they are. I have aquariums, reptiles and my extended family has dogs that I am frequently around. I have had exotic, elderly, injured and sick pets in my care. I foster for the Humane Society periodically and adjust my home according to the pets needs.
“I’m Very Happy with Ben & Luke they are awsome sitters 💙My LEXI gets excited knowing she’s going with her friends 🙌🏼once Lexi is with them they send Very cute 🥰 pictures of her and she looks super happy !!! I HIGHLY Recommend them!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼”
About: I am a pediatric physical therapist by day and aspiring stay at home dog mom all the time. I have two little furry monsters of my own, a rescue tripod and a pointer mix. I take them all over hiking, to the beach, to the park, and they would love the company of your little furry friends too! My dogs get free range of my house and yard when I’m home and a large open living area when I’m gone. I’ve had dogs all my life and love all of them, big or small. I’ve taught my dogs some tricks and continually work on reward based training for better behavior and obedience if you are interested in that during my time with your pup! Someone is usually home or in and out every day. We wake up early for breakfast and to play and go on walks. On weekends when we are home all day we like to go on adventures and the dogs have free reign of the yard all day, but we can also keep yours more contained if they are a flight risk! I have a fenced yard to play outside and we will go on walks in the neighborhood. My dogs like to meet new friends. At my house they are allowed on the furniture
About: Hi! I'm new to the Rover app, but I'm not new to caring for animals. I've always had a natural connection with animals and they seem to gravitate toward me wherever I go. I’m a stay at home mom of a 3 and 5 year old so I am always home and always active and my fiance is home while I run errands. We have a decent size fenced yard where your animal can get some energy out while staying safe. I truly believe animals are family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own child. I'm highly communicative, reliable, and genuinely empathetic. I pay close attention to each pet's unique personality and needs, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or just having a calm companion, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. That's why I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos, videos, and messages throughout each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy those special moments even while you're apart. If you're a busy family looking for a dependable dog walker or pet sitter who will treat your pet with patience, kindness, and lots of love, I'd be honored to help. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend! I am a mom of two girls. I have a flexible schedule and I’m willing to do whatever’s necessary to make sure your pet is taken care of. I’m a hair stylist on weekends and I love when people bring their dogs to their appointments. Rover is great way for me to play with animals, get some exercise, and make some extra income. Just message me 😊 I make sure the dog goes outside to use the bathroom . Make sure the food and water bowl is always fresh and full. Engage and play with your pet. Chill, lay down, and watch tv together. I absolutely love playing tug of war with dogs so make sure to pack that toy in their overnight bag LOL. If I were to come to your house I would let you know exactly when I enter and when I leave and give you updates on your pet .

I can easily crate if desired as well.

“Andrea was absolutely fantastic! Very responsive during the initial process and always on time. Our dog loved her and we will definitely contact her for our future dog sitting needs.”
“I’ve booked Loren for a few walks and a game of fetch for my dog. She has great communication and is very responsive. I appreciate her professionalism and reliability. She has shown that I can count on her. Kona has a blast! Thanks Loren!”
“My family and I highly recommend Alexis and Adam as dog walkers! They walked my two German Shepherd mixes early in the morning for 16 consecutive days for an hour each while we were on vacation. Always on time, always submitting report cards with photos and the route they walked. On top of that, my dogs, who are rescues with shyness or aggression toward strangers AND severe dog reactivity on walks, LOVED Lex and Adam! As a professional dog trainer and walker myself, I’m extremely careful with people who interact with my dogs, and Lex and Adam exceeded my expectations! It’s clear to me that they take caring for their clients’ dogs seriously and both are extremely nice and personable. Thank you Lex and Adam!!”
“María has been really patient with my girls. Tessa gets very anxious and barks and María met with us twice to allow her time to warm up. María is excellent with updates and we look forward to having her stay with the girls overnight.”
“Alexis walked my dogs twice on short notice and did a wonderful job! Her updates included the cutest pictures I instantly shared with everyone and Poppy and Snoopy looked super happy! I would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had animals all of my life and I love meeting new fuzzy friends! I’ve had experience with all types of animals! I have two cats of my own and take care of them dog my sisters two cats and our family dog! I work for a senior care company but because it’s not super reliable in terms of a set schedule I’m looking to help pet parents whenever I can! I’m very reliable! My regular job is a in-home healthcare for seniors so I’m always in their homes cleaning their houses and stuff like that, as well as as if they have pets taken care of those as well. I care for all of my pet clients just like I with them. I respect the houses that I work in like they are my own!
About: For the past 14 years, my world revolved around my dog, Zuri. Sadly, she passed away in April, and while I’m not ready to welcome another dog into my life just yet, I realized how much I miss spending time with them. Caring for dogs has never felt like work to me. I’m naturally attentive, patient, and deeply attuned to animals. I tend to notice the little things; when a dog needs a slower pace, extra reassurance, more water, a sniff break, or simply someone calm to help them feel safe. Zuri taught me that every walk is the highlight of a dog’s day, not just another task to check off a list. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a gentler pace, I’ll care for them with the same love, presence, and respect I gave my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your best friend in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, understood, and genuinely loved while we’re together. I’m also available for boarding and overnight care, either in my home or yours. I’m home throughout the day, so your dog will have plenty of companionship and attention. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering medications when needed, and understanding that every dog has their own personality, pace, and emotional needs. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy being active, so dog walks fit naturally into my daily routine. Walking has been an important part of my own life for years, and after losing my beloved dog of 14 years a few months ago, spending time with dogs has become something that brings me joy and healing. I’m reliable, communicative, and committed to making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and attention they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big decision because I know what it’s feels like to love a dog like family. I always prioritize safety by following your dog’s routine, using secure leash handling, paying close attention to their body language, and adapting to their individual personality and energy level. Whether your dog is playful, shy, anxious, or a senior who needs a slower pace, I’ll care for them with patience, kindness, and respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“Amazing sitter! Super communicative and took such great care of my dog. My flight back to San Diego was delayed so I have to pick up my dog next morning. Hana was being super flexible with my schedule. Came home to a very happy pup—would 100% book again.”
“Adriana and Cameron were amazing with our little pug Leia! Being that this was the first time we left her with a non family member, we were anxious. We received multiple check-ins and pictures which put us at ease. They were also so accommodating with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely book in the future. It looked like Leia had a blast!!!”
“Truly amazing! My 2 year old lab is what we call “socially awkward”. She’s very friendly with people but can be timid and shy with other dogs. However, she really thrived while staying with Madison and her husband. I cannot thank them enough for all of the photos and updates of our girl while we were away for the fourth of July weekend. We knew she was in great hands and taken well care of. We definitely will be rebooking for future trips. Thank you!”
“Cerita and her family was absolutely phenomenal watching Cyrus. We had a sudden and heartbreaking family emergency—a reunion that ended in tragedy, which required a trip to the emergency room where my cell phone was stolen, leaving me with no immediate way to communicate with Cerita, and we even got a flat tire on the way home—and Cerita was a pillar of support and kindness throughout it all. She was incredibly understanding, flexible, and communicative, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a time of great stress and grief. She took wonderful care of Cyrus and provided constant, reassuring updates. We are so grateful for her compassion and highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and truly caring sitter. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts Cerita 🙏 ❤️ We are so grateful for you and appreciate you more then words could ever express 🌺”
“Todd and Bill were AMAZING! They took such great care of our dog and sent daily updates with photos and videos. This was the longest we had ever left our dog for a stay, but Todd and Bill made sure to ease our minds while we were away. It seems like our dog had a great time because he passed out on the couch almost as soon as we got home! They even washed a blanket we left for our dog to relax on, so it was fresh and clean when we got home. Their attention to detail was highly appreciated and we will definitely be using their services again in the future! Thank you again Todd and Bill, we really appreciated your care in taking care of our precious cargo :)”
“Christina did a great job taking care of my dog Dickens! She is a caring person and I know my dog was in good hands. Dickens has a lot of health issues and so I was apprehensive to leave him with someone new but she was careful to give him his medication and followed my instructions. She checked in with me to let me know he was doing well. I will definitely have Dickens visit with Christina again if she is available when I need a petsitter. I really appreciate that she took such good care of him and I know he did too! Thanks again Christina!”
“Autumn was absolutely outstanding with my Pups! One of them was rescued off the street 4 months ago and is very fearful around new people and places, but he had such an amazing time and didn't want to leave by the time we had to pick them up. They loved her so much that I honestly felt a little sad about taking them away from her. I feel like that just highlights how phenomenal she was. 10/5 stars!! Hope to be back next time!”
“Ami is the greatest sitter we have ever had on Rover . Not only did she book us at the last moment her care for Stella was more than I could ever imagined. I knew Ami was kind and caring when Stella and I first met her and I am very cautious about using just any sitter. Ami kept us updated with photos and brushed her fur while sitting. Stella actually came back looking better than before I took her to Ami! She is the best and will always be my choice of sitters.”
“Amber and the family made Cali feel like a member of the family. From the start the technique used to introduce her dogs To Cali was great. Received daily updates and photos. Already have a couple more stays booked.”
“Mark was amazing with my dog, Ollie, for the long weekend he had him. He sent photos of him cuddling on the couch and laying out in the sun, my dog’s two favorite things to do so I knew he was in good hands. When I picked up Ollie up he was happy and healthy. Mark was also very responsive, communicative and understanding throughout Ollies stay. Really couldn’t recommend him enough.”
“Terri is a true animal lover. She cared for my dog Lucy over the weekend. She took Lucy for plenty of walks and even took her to the lake a couple times. Baked her some dog treats and even sent her home with a batch. Plenty of pictures. We are very pleased.”
“Savannah is fantastic! I have three dogs, and she took wonderful care of all three while I was gone. Savannah is very responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with. She kept me updated with photos daily. The dogs were so happy when I came to get them, and they settled very quickly when they got home - always a sign that they were well exercised and loved. She also has a great backyard for dogs. I would highly recommend Savannah to care for your dog(s)!”
“Samantha is AMAZING! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She kept me updated while I was gone, sent pictures, and truly cared for my pup like her own. I felt at ease while away!”
“Super grateful for Jasmine! She took a last minute booking for our dog over the holiday weekend so we could visit family. Communication was great, and our dog came home happy and well cared for. Will definitely use them again in the future.”
“Carolina is a such a wonderful sitter, her care and attention is evident from the initial messages to drop off, all throughout the stay and pick up. I would highly recommend her to care for your pup.”
“So great! Jess was welcoming, patient, and obviously has such good experience with dogs. Her communication was timely and consistent, and she cared for our puppy like one of her own. Additionally, her fur baby, Stroopy, was such a wonderful playmate! Looking forward to more family getaways with the knowledge that our pup will be comfortable and loved. Thank you!”
About: My name is Tony, better known as Philly. I am a professional dog trainer and also provide boarding. I have always had animals in the house growing up, however, dogs have always been the closest to my heart. I love going to the dog park, beach, even an empty field to play fetch. I have various enrichment activities that will keep your pup occupied while in my care, as well as, a number of cots for those relaxing moments. I have 2 personal pups; Stella, a 7yro Blue Pit and Bagheera, a 2yro Cane Corso. Both are trained and love to play. Any further questions, please simply ask! I do this as a profession so I'm home often. Day starts at 6a for the pups. Potty breaks, breakfast, digestion, play, leash training and decompress/relax. Throughout their stay we go on various walks (group and individual), depending on the weather, we will hit the park for some leg stretching or a simple 2-5mi walk, which is more for my exercise 😅 I have an enclosed backyard with tug toys, flirt sticks, water bowls and various other treats and chew toys. I have a huge garage with industrial fans and industrial exhaust to regulate the room. Theres also a thermostat for added piece of mind.
“So kind to our pups and made it so easy to coordinate. Super fast response times and sent lots of pics while the pups were with them. They even sent them home with cute bandanas that we will cherish always. Amazing care takers!”
