“Kept my dog over Christmas and New Years (12 days) and did such a wonder job. They even worked with me to add 2 nights when i was having issues with flight. I got multiple pictures each day and they are very responsive when I text. I would recommend them to anyone. My dog always comes back happy.”
“We just love having Dustin and his family take care of our Boston terrier when we go out of town. They are very conscientious and communicate clearly which makes it much easier to go on vacations. They keep us from missing Bosco too much by sending notes and pictures 1-2 times a day. They obviously love dogs and it shows.”
“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!”
“Taylor and Andrew took great care of our dogs. They sent plenty of pictures and updates about how they were doing, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable sitter!”
“Our first time boarding our dog and using Rover and great experience with both. Madison and Moses were wonderful to work with - quick to reply and patient in answering all our questions. The regular updates and pictures were reassuring. We got him back in good health and spirits. Bonus, he has been more chill interacting with his neighborhood crew of prupet pals. We plan to use again!”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
“Cheryl was so great! She provided daily updates on Vega's stay, provided so much fun and enrichment with puzzles and toys. You can definitely tell she cares deeply about the dogs under her care.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“We're so grateful to have found Linda to care for our Bodhi. She's so loving and sweet with him, and we know that his every need is being tended to. We love the photos and updates that she sends, and the fact that he cries when it's time to go home shows us that he loves her right back!”
“Cerita is my go to dog and cat sitter. She treats all of my fur babies with so much love and makes them feel completely at home. I especially appreciate the extra care she gives my senior cat, she’s very attentive when it comes to giving him his insulin.”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“Savanah was so caring to our 16 year old dog, Zulu. Unfortunately, our senior dog requires extra attention due to his dementia and separation anxiety. Savanah showed compassion and made every effort to care for Zulu and make him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Savanah for everything! We really appreciate it.”
“Whitney could not be any sweeter or more energetic, and her family could not be any more precious! Thank you for taking such great care of Molly, she had a blast staying with you guys:)”

“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.”
“Kaitlyn was awesome. So flexible, and she had great communication. I also messed up on something and she was super understanding. Will definitely rebook with her on our next trip.”
“We first met Mariela last year but ended up changing our plans when our cat got sick. Now, a year later, he is doing great and we need to head out of town. I reached back out and she remembered us! Because our cat needs an insulin shot twice daily, she came over to learn how to give the shot and then came another day to practice giving the shot. Mariela communicates well and always let us know when she was on her way. She did great and we headed out of town. She always checked in on time and sent us 4-5 pictures from every visit. I can’t express enough how much we all enjoyed the photos of our cat! She gave clear written reports from each visit. We already booked for this Saturday and will be booking another time soon. We highly recommend Mariela!”
About: Although I've never had the pleasure of owning my own cat, pretty much everyone else that I know has (which is great for me). I've spent the past couple years cat sitting for friends and enjoyed every second of it. I've grown used to playful nips and scratches just as I've learned about cat personalities. Some cats need to be by you at all times, while others don't even care that you're there - both just as fun to visit! I like adapting to each cat as I get to know them and figuring out their favorite scratching spots, their preferences on if I should pretend I'm not there, and how silly they sound when they get super vocal. I'm big on communication and will quickly and openly work with you to ensure your cat has a puuurrfect experience (sorry). Feel free to reach out with questions or concerns!
About: I have many years of cat experience under my belt. I've taken care of all different ages cats from a playful kitten to a calm senior kitty. Whether it be from my own personal pets, rescues, or working in Vet Med. I'm also very experienced with spicy kitties as well and do not mind giving them the care they need!
“Loren was able to make time to quickly pass by and make sure my cats can survive my absence for a week. Unfortunately I was cancelled on by a different sitter and Loren saved the day! Thank you.”
About: While I don’t have professional cat sitting experience, I’ve lived with cats and have hands on experience caring for them. I’m comfortable feeding cats, keeping their litter boxes clean, playing with them, and making sure they have a safe, comfortable environment. I’m patient, gentle, and happy to give cats the attention and care they need.
“Maureen is an exceptional cat whisperer! She demonstrated an impressive attention to detail in caring for my beloved feline friend. Throughout my trip, I was delighted to receive numerous photos of them enjoying their time together, which truly put my mind at ease. Thanks to her, I could fully concentrate on my activities without a moment of worry.”
“Michelle was amazing! She was super attentive and clearly cared so much about my pets. She kept me updated and sent the cutest pictures, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. I could tell my babies were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter :)”
“Shelby and Dalton took care of our 2 very shy, very aloof semi-feral cats. They followed the routine we had set up for them, and provided daily feedback and pictures! We would not hesitate to recommend them to others, or to have them back to cat-sit again.”
“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.”
“Alexis responded very quickly to messages and was very flexible. She went above and beyond to check our cat's automatic feeder. Both of the cats were having a great time in the photos she sent. Would highly recommend!”

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.
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.
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 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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I have 35+ years of animal care experience. My animal care journey started with taking care of rabbits, chickens, horses, geese and my own pet fish, birds, gerbils, cats and dogs. I have a flexible schedule allowing for me to care for your pet day or night! I look forward to hearing from you and scheduling our first meet and greet, free of charge! I have two dogs in my home. They have 24/7 access to the fenced in yard for potty breaks and play time. I take boarders only after a meet and greet with my personal dogs to ensure a good fit for all!
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs cats reptiles since I was 10 years old Friends Neighbors , family they have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets especially if they need a long walk or a run I have experience from puppies to senior dogs and handling medication. I’m currently not working at the moment so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m mostly available all days certain Saturdays and Sundays after 3:00 pm I have a fenced yard with 3 friendly dogs I take on walks they can keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed or handle any special medication if needed
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
“Loki seems like he had a great time at his daycare! He fell asleep as soon as he got in the car to go home so I know he got a good amount of playtime. Barbra responded in timely manner and was able to accommodate us with our last minute booking request. Great care and service!”
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: I've had a lifelong passion for working with dogs and cats, and I've spent the past eight years dedicated to the pet industry. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from puppies to seniors. Whether it's feeding, potty walks, playtime, or grooming, I have extensive experience and a deep love for caring for furry friends. I’m excited to share my expertise with your pet! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine as I have an open schedule and am not working full-time elsewhere. This allows me to provide flexible and attentive care to your pet, ensuring they get the attention, playtime, and routine they need throughout the day! In my home, I create a comfortable, pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel safe and relaxed. I ensure they have plenty of space to play, rest, and enjoy their time with me. I also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure their routine stays consistent.

I provide plenty of attention, love, and care while ensuring your home remains safe and tidy. My goal is to offer a stress-free experience for both you and your pet!
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.
“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: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes, I bring a calm, confident, and compassionate approach to every animal I meet.

Whether your pet needs extra patience, playtime, or just a steady presence while you're away, I’m here to help. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze into a busy day - it is my day. As a professional pet sitter, your pet’s needs come first on my schedule. My flexible hours mean they get consistent, focused attention, love, and care from morning to night. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure and relaxed. I’ll follow their routine, provide lots of attention, and take your dog on their favorite walk or outing. I will keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you are away, even if you’re only gone for a day or half day.

“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!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I can remember. From feeding my extended family’s pet to walking dogs and staying over night as an adult. Pet care is always a part of my daily routine. I have 2 indoor cats and 2 stray cats that come everyday to eat and lay around. I can easily make time to tend to other pets I tend to other pets with love attention, make them at ease as it can be a stressful time for pets when human parents are away from home.
“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!!”
“Our neighbor has been a client of Annalisa for a while and gave her the strongest of recommendations. We needed an emergency sitter, and she came through! Top nothc and great with our pup!”
About: Hi there! I’ve cared for animals of all ages in households with multiple cats and dogs, also including exotic pets. I grew up with a pet husky and miniature poodle, and have experience walking dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I work in the morning/ early afternoon as a Barista ~20 hours a week. I am generally free early morning (before 8am), and afternoon-nighttime. I am off ~3 days a week (usually between Monday-Thursday) during which I can give extra time and attention to pet care. I have years of experience caring for and walking all kinds of dogs and am very attentive to the emotions and needs of each animal.
About: I'm very accustomed to all kinds of dogs! From pups to elderly dogs, small to large I'm the right guy for the job. I've raised all 3 of my dogs from puppies along with helping friends with theirs. I have tons of experience in cleaning and keeping them busy so I am more then happy to help with watching pups! I also have experience with elderly dogs that require medical treatment, as long as I get a detailed explanation on the steps to help I'll be able to follow them perfectly. I also live with very large dogs so I have all the experience with how to handle them no problem. I'm currently on summer break so I have plenty of time to look over your pets! I am very willing to work weekends, weekdays, and holidays. I have 2 very friendly dogs while my third is pretty territorial so while I can make sure your dogs are safe and acclimate them to the others, I feel it would be best to stay at your house.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have raised and helped raise multiple dogs from puppyhood, with experience across all sizes and energy levels. I’m confident caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors who may need extra patience and structure. What sets me apart is real-world experience and reliability. I provide calm, attentive care and make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available for dog walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. This flexibility enables me to provide dependable, attentive, and consistent care for your pets while accommodating scheduled visits as needed. At this time, I offer dog walking and drop-in visit services. I focus on providing safe, attentive, and enjoyable care while following each dog’s individual routine, energy level, and specific needs. My goal is to make every visit a positive and comfortable experience for both you and your pet.
“Alexis was awesome and very responsive as I contacted her the day before. She took great pictures of Mika and will ask for her. This is my first time using Rover and overall experience was great. Will be using her in the future again!”

“Kept my dog over Christmas and New Years (12 days) and did such a wonder job. They even worked with me to add 2 nights when i was having issues with flight. I got multiple pictures each day and they are very responsive when I text. I would recommend them to anyone. My dog always comes back happy.”
“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!”
“Taylor and Andrew took great care of our dogs. They sent plenty of pictures and updates about how they were doing, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable sitter!”
“Our first time boarding our dog and using Rover and great experience with both. Madison and Moses were wonderful to work with - quick to reply and patient in answering all our questions. The regular updates and pictures were reassuring. We got him back in good health and spirits. Bonus, he has been more chill interacting with his neighborhood crew of prupet pals. We plan to use again!”
“I needed a sitter at the last minute at Ashley did an amazing job of communicating and being flexible and understanding when plans changed or issues arose that needed to to be addressed. She made me feel comfortable and always prioritized my pet's health and safety. I'm so thrilled I found her and will definitely be a return customer the nex time I'm in need of petcare. Do not hesitate to request her services!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Cerita is my go to dog and cat sitter. She treats all of my fur babies with so much love and makes them feel completely at home. I especially appreciate the extra care she gives my senior cat, she’s very attentive when it comes to giving him his insulin.”
“Rippley and Biscuit loved Kaitlin and Verle! I was so happy to see how relaxed my reactive and senior puppers were at a new location. The pictures they sent me of the dogs in full potato mode assured me that they felt right at home.”
“Savanah was so caring to our 16 year old dog, Zulu. Unfortunately, our senior dog requires extra attention due to his dementia and separation anxiety. Savanah showed compassion and made every effort to care for Zulu and make him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you, Savanah for everything! We really appreciate it.”
“Emma was amazing with our dogs! She sent us daily updates and plenty of pictures and videos. She even spent extra time to work with one of our dogs to get him comfortable with walking on tile (which he was always terrified of before). Highly recommend! She will definitely be our go to from now on.”
“My pups are well taken care of by Bailey and her girls. They get tons of attention and I feel very comfortable leaving them whenever I need to skip town. The communication and nightly messages with pictures are a plus!”
“Barbra and her girls wonderful! This was our dog's first time staying overnight with them and they were so patient and understanding while he warmed up to staying in a new place. They made him feel welcome and gave him lots of love and attention. Thank you, Barbra!”
“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!”
“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.”
