“Our dog loves her time with Mitzi and Kliff's pack! It's always so sweet to get all the great pictures of all the adventures they have together! Thanks so much!”
“Steve and his family were amazing! They took care of our dog Walter and he had the best time with them. We received updates and photos throughout the weekend and a little drawing of Walter to take home! Highly recommend Steve and will send Walter back again soon!”
“This was our second stay with Nicole and Craig. Not only does their family provide love and care for our precious Shibas, but they are patient with their quirks and persistent food hunting! Thank you Nicole, Craig, and your boys for keeping Winnie and Rocky safe and loved while we are away!”
“Curtis goes above and beyond as a dogsitter! He went out of his way to help move my booking when my plans changed, took my dog on loads of walks and dog park trips that my dog absolutely loved, and gave me fantastic updates in the form of cute and incredibly thorough reports. Curtis has a great attention to detail and ensures that your dog gets excellent care. I can’t recommend Curtis enough!”
“By all accounts Maple had a great time with Fred! I enjoyed the pictures and could tell she was in a dog lovers home! Peace of mind, while out of town, is priceless.”
“Barney absolutely loved his mini vacation at Megan’s. She sent a ton of pics throughout the day of Barney and Bos having a blast. Megan and her husband tired Barney out as he took a big nap once we got home. Megan is an excellent Rover choice and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Golden, Arvada, and Denver area in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter ?”
“Couldn’t be happier with Delane! Responded very quickly, was extremely considerate and accommodating and most importantly my dog had an amazing time! Was super comforting knowing my pup was safe and having a great time. Could not recommend Delane more!”
“Emma was amazing with Curry! Her dogs even taught him how to howl 🥰 she included many photos and videos and Curry misses being there already, we can tell!! She will be our new go to sitter for him.”
“My pup always loves his time with Misty, she is very attentive and provides great updates. Her family and pups are great friends with my dog and they get along great. My pup doesn't want to come home at the end of the stay, which I think is the best indicator that he has a great stay every time he is with Misty.”
“Tom took great care of my reactive dog and made sure he got lots of attention and exercise! He always responded quickly, followed instructions/ requests, and he sent lots of pictures during the stay.”
“Shanik took such great care of our Aussie Shepherd -- she was communicative, prompt, sent photos along the way, overall just made sure our fur baby was safe & happy! Will definitely use her again! Thank you, Shanik!”
“Georgia was so wonderful with our dogs. She took such great care understanding & accommodating their individual needs and behaviors. I would not hesitate in asking Georgia to watch Rosie & Daisy again. It’s nice being able to relax while away, knowing they’re in her care. The picture & video updates were great as well!”
“Paul and Delia were wonderful. They sent lots of pics of our pup and kept in great communication. They even groomed her on the house and were accommodating when our flight was delayed. We appreciate their care and kindness!”
“John and Lynn are the best rover sitters for our little pup Lexi! We always go on our trips knowing she is in such great, loving hands. They love her like she is their own and she is definitely spoiled with them! We always appreciate the photos and easy communication. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Barbara was so sweet and kind to Leia. She let Leia explore her house and her yard (which Leia loves) and took care of her. Leia loved her time with Barbara and another dog Barbara was sitting. Barbara also constantly kept us updated with pictures. Leia had the best time in Colorado at Barbara's place.”
“Sehwa and Adam were so great with my dog. They were flexible on timing and took great care of our older dog. They paid attention to her picky eating and somewhat limited mobility with her advanced age. Thank you!”

“We love Robyn! She takes wonderful care of our babies, and we will be hiring her more often, now that we have a trusted sitter in the area. She’s communicative, thorough, loves all animals and puts in the extra effort. Traveling is so much easier when you have someone you can rely on. Thank you Robyn!”
“Emma took GREAT care of my cat while I was out of town. She played with him, got him fed, dealt with his littler and was on time - very reliable! My cat is very particular but he loved emma so I think she must be a pet whisperer :) Highly recommended Emma for any of your pet sitting needs and will be using Emma next time my little guy needs a visit!”
About: I grew up around dogs. At just 10 years old, my mom involved me in dog sitting for a neighbor. I worked for her until I turned 18, cleaning kennels, walking the dogs, and dog sitting when she traveled. During college and afterward, I managed a dog care and senior dog shelter, dedicating my time to caring for the dogs. After work, I would walk the shelter dogs. I have two rescue dogs of my own and simply love being around animals. I love being around animals. I'm currently in between jobs and seeking new opportunities, but in the meantime, I would love to spend some quality time with animals. It really helps bring joy and comfort to my days. I live in the beautiful mountains with my two rescue dogs, who bring so much joy to my life. If the pet is staying at its home, it will enjoy cuddles and plenty of treats.
“It was easy to setup care for Meow with Danielle. She was also very easy to talk to and made sure Meow was well taken care of while we were away. She kept us updated and reached out if she had any questions. Thank you, Danielle!”
“Thank you so much again. I really appreciate that you got the bun some carrots and pee pads when we ran out! It also was really cool of you to drop in twice. We always hate leaving our animals, but I felt they were very well taken of.”
About: I’ve cared for friends dogs as well as my own. I make it a point to pay attention to every dog individually and accommodate for uniqueness. I know some overheat and get tired faster than others, some dogs suffer from chronic ailments, and some are extremely energetic. I’m here for all of it. I am currently a college graduate (Mines) so I pick up pet care opportunities full time while I search for a more permanent career field. I would love to visit your dogs to provide playtime and care, however I am not able to board or house them at my domaine.
About: I’ve taken care of kids and animals my whole life because I love providing love and care to all living things! I enjoy taking pets on walks, engaging them with their toys, and of course giving them some good pats and scratches :) I work remotely and have the flexibility in my schedule to match the routines you keep with your fur babies. Taking a break from work to go on a walk, play fetch, or give some pats & scratches is my favorite! Any pet in my care will be getting the VIP treatment where attention, playtime, and affection are concerned. I used to be a teacher, and from my time managing classes of over 35 middle schoolers and their art supplies, I am a very flexible, detail oriented person, who follows instructions closely which would translate well into specific care needs for any pet. You tell me what your pet needs and I will make it happen at a high quality!
About: I've been a dog owner for my entire life, and have taken care of family and friends' dogs for many years. I also have experience volunteering as a dog walker, as well as working at PetSmart in the grooming salon. I have interacted with and taken care of dogs at every size, age, and personality. I am able to walk dogs, as well as bathe them and administer medicine if needed. I am currently the owner of two 90+ lb dogs with vastly different personalities, so I am confident I can provide the best service possible for you :) I currently work a full-time job and am available in the early morning, and after 5pm during the week. I have open availability during the weekend, and will have more availability during the holidays when my job is closed. I also have the flexibility to work from home some weeks, so I’m able to house sit and work from someone else’s home to provide constant company for your dog. I have dealt with a range of personalities and needs from all kinds of dogs. I can manage walking dogs of all sizes, and have experience observing the body language of dogs to ensure they feel safe and secure during the time I spend with them. If needed, I can administer medicine and will be sure to provide undivided attention to them while they're in my care.
“Jinia saved us by being available for Oreo last minute and she is awesome! On time. Reliable and took care of our boy. Thank you so much and excited to be able to have you over again. 😻”
About: I have had dogs,cats,bunnies,chickens throughout my life. I know how to care for each one. I am a trusted and reliable handler with any family pet(s). Being a animal person is in my blood and I absolutely love it and enjoy caring for them. Currently I have a part time job. I also ride horses for friends that are away on trips. Together they don't pay my bills. Working with dogs and other animals for clients I have been thinking of doing for awhile now. It would be much appreciated to have you as my client and make this a career. I already have three dogs with me. Having any animals stay over at my house will not be an option at all. My dogs can be very wild and not the best behaved around new furry friends. For the safety of your pet and mine it would be best to dog sit over night at the clients home if preferred. Everything else is open.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10. I grew up with both and have always loved animals/pets! I'm very respectful and caring. I currently work full time as an accountant in Louisville, CO. I can work remote (anywhere) Friday. House sitting I can any time Fri - Sun. Dog walking I can 530 pm (I'm out right at 5) on Mon - Fri, and any time during the weekend! I of course will follow any instruction. Am fine walking, running with your dog. I'm also very comfortable if it's a dog not as friendly with others (in terms of walking etc).

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“We have been traveling for a week and changing plans due to the lack of snow so we made a very last minute request and Emma was super flexible and communicative. She took great care of Minnie! Minnie can be anxious when away from home but was much calmer than usual when we picked her up. When Minnie needed space from Emma’s playful dogs, Emma gave Minnie her own space in the house. We got updates and photos during the day too. We highly recommend Emma and would use her again if we’re traveling in this area again.”
“Robyn was great. She was reliable, great with communication and took my dog for a long walk which I appreciated. I received many photo updates on how my dog was doing. It was fun to see him interacting with Robyn's dogs. I would use her services again when in the area.”
About: Your pet’s bespoke holiday, whilst you’re on holiday. Dog sitters for large breeds or elderly dogs at a 3 acre mountain property in an incredibly dog friendly environment . We take all dogs but specialize in older or extra large breeds. We work from home but are mainly on sabbatical working the land outdoors. Our clients’ dogs become family and look forward to meeting you! I’m on a work break working on my land and home fixes with my husband who just moved over from the UK. We are technology founders and a data scientist . I have 3/4 of an acre fences and 2.5 acres at 9500 ft at the end of a cul de sac with little vehicle traffic
“We are very pleased to have found Chris. He was great with our senior dog who can have some anxiety with new places. Chris communicated well and is very kind. Zeke looks forward to his next visit!”
“Shanik and family are wonderful pet hosts. Mila loved to spend the days with them. She was happy to play ball outside in the snow for her first time. Shanik took care of Mila while my family and I were out skiing. Mila felt like she was home! Thank you!”
“Katrina was a fantastic sitter for Snow! Snow has anxiety and can’t be left alone so Katrina watched Snow while we were at an event. Snow was happy, safe, and content and had another pup around too. Definitely recommend her!”
About: Dogs in our house are part of the family. We are a mother & son (age 14) combo with 2 dogs in the house (friendly, sweet spayed females). We have been loving and caring for dogs since we were both little, providing the best care for our price and will make your dog feel like it's at home! We have a fully fenced-in large yard and dog door. If you crate your dog, we have one in the house so that you don't have to bring yours. You can certainly bring your own dog bed, but we also have one that your pup can utilize. We also have stuffs, toys, leashes & bowls, so don't fret if you forget anything. Your furry-buddy is allowed to cuddle on the couch with us or wherever they find comfort. If the weather permits and your dog is accustomed to going to the dog park, they can join us on trips to play. We have both gone through dog training programs, most recently Ted Terroux. Clean house, well cared-for, loving home. ***** Please reach out if you need a date that shows as "unavailable" as we might be able to make a special accommodation for your dog & past clients. ***** As a teacher & student, we are on summer break and have lots of availability. During the school year, we work and go to school during the week. We are able to go home mid-day for potty breaks. We we home on weekends and during breaks (Spring Break, Summer, Fall Breaks & Winter Breaks). We have several "regular" clients that have a proven track record with our dogs.... Thus, we are able to board mid-week *if* your dog is COOL (plays well, non-destructive, low flight risk), and knows how to use a doggie door. So, please send us a message as we are often available for other dates not made public on the calendar. We look forward to getting to know you and your fur baby! We have a great record of caring for our dogs and we will be able to safely and reliably take care and keep your dog safe and happy in a comfortable and clean home. We typically feed our dogs in the morning and evening, but can accommodate your pups needs. Our home is very clean and well taken care of. There is a main level in which we hang out with great room, office and kitchen. The dogs have free-roam of the main level which has laminate flooring, but covered with carpet squares as one of our dogs does not like walking on hardwood floors. So, it is mostly carpeted for her comfort. We have a large sectional in which we allow dogs to snuggle with us while watching TV. The LARGE yard is mostly grass, some mulch/landscaped trees & shrubs, with concrete patio in which we spend a lot of time dining and reading. We pick up poop DAILY. During the evening, if you request your dog could be crated in the bedroom in which one of us is sleeping as dogs are pack animals and they don't like being separated from the pack. We keep them close to us. But, we want to keep everyone safe, so the crate is available (optional) for their safety as well as ours/our pets. But again, they are slumbering in the same room with us.
“Billy had the best time with Nicole and Christoph! Thank you for making him feel so at home and treating him like part of the family. He came home every day so happy and tired.”
“Alicia braved taking on our 4 month old Boxer. He had a blast while we got to go white water rafting. He loved hanging out with her dog Gogi (who is so sweet!) and seemed sad to leave. Highly recommend!”
“Brian was quick and thorough with communication, checked with the details I provided, took lots of pictures and Bruce was happy and tired when I picked him up! Will definitely be booking with him again!”
About: Hi! We are Kati and Mitch, a work from home couple living with our pack in the mountains. We’ve owned and raised dogs of all shapes and attitudes and sizes, so our experience covers most ground! Our 14 year old dog is a pit who was very reactive in his prime, teaching us a lot about how to handle reactive dogs safely, but now as a sleepy senior, he’s taught us more about senior dog care. We raised our second dog from a puppy, so she taught us so much about the adorable havoc that puppies can bring! Our newest is a rescue, who was a street dog in Texas. She was very skittish and is still people-shy, so we’ve learned a lot about how to approach wary dogs, and how to break those naughty habits she learned on the streets! We love our pack so much, and we’d love to use our knowledge to love yours too! We both work from home 100% of the time, so we are home all day if you need a daycare or want to board, your pup will rarely be left alone if ever! Our schedules are flexible enough that we can easily fit in multiple drop in visits or daily walks too. We have a fully fenced in yard, a little over half an acre. Our two younger dogs would love to play with a new friend, but will also give space if yours isn’t into the rough and tumble! Our dogs are all allowed on the furniture, one sleeps in bed with us. They are the center of our attention all day, yours will be no different! :)
“Josie was AMAZING!! Our anxious 4 year old lab has the best time and Josie made sure she was comfortable the entire time. Excellent communication before, during and after our dog’s time with her. Can’t recommend her highly enough! Thank you Josie!!”
About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I also have extensive animal care experience from past roles working at AZA zoos. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust and provide the kind of care that works best for them. I’m patient, kind and compassionate, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m also very active and happy to provide plenty of walks, exercise and playtime for dogs who need it. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, affectionate or independent, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated and care for them as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide dogs with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, along with regular bathroom breaks, walks, playtime and exercise. Because I’m home, dogs in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can easily adapt my schedule to their normal feeding, medication and activity routines. I genuinely enjoy having a dog by my side while I work and making sure they feel comfortable, engaged and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, bathroom breaks and any household rules. I provide plenty of attention, exercise and playtime while also respecting when a pet needs quiet time or space. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the property, and I make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also provide regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and receiving patient, compassionate care.
About: Looking to fill the house with furry friends since my golden of 13 years recently passed and I’m really not ready for a permanent pet just yet. My home is set up for dogs under 100lb. Dogs have direct access to a fenced yard through a secure doggy door so they can come in and out as they please. I always have fresh water on the main level, upstairs room, and back patio. The back yard has a medium sized lawn area, large covered patio, and dog house. I’ve had experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and have a very pet-safe home. I have a flexible job that allows me to bring a dog if I’m going into the office. I do have work a couple days a week that requires I leave the house for up to 5 or 6 hours sometimes so having a dog that is ok to have the run of the house for a bit is preferred but this can be worked around as well. I have a pet cam in the house so I can check on them if I’m away. I plan to do dog sitting for a while until I decide it’s time for a new best friend. My job is pretty flexible. I can work from home most of the time so I can pay a lot of attention to your pet. I have a dog friendly home with doggy door access to a large covered patio and fenced yard. Dogs can come and go as they please through the door.
About: I learned pet care from an early age from a dog loving family and then worked with the humane society and spent time with professional trainers. I am a retired school teacher with lots of free time! I love talking brisk, long walks with caninne companions and seeing mature up close. I live in a beautiful condo in Genesee. There is a ton of outdoor space and easy acces to trails. Great for dogs and humans.

About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. Ever since I was a little girl I would bring home injured or stray animals to care for. I've raised an assortment of pets from parakeets, cats, fish, bunnies, chickens, ducks, and many dogs. Our dogs are like our children to us. It's our goal to provide the very best life we could possibly give them with lots of love, structure, exercise, a good healthy diet, and medical attention when required. Any animal that comes in our presence will experience the same treatment. I work full-time remotely. While we don't have a yard per se, we live in the mountains bumped up against BLM land with lots of hiking trails and areas to walk. Our dogs get exercised daily on the trails surrounding our home. With my at-home work schedule, I have the flexibility to take walks for my breaks and lunch hour and to get up and take care of things as needed through out the day. We get up early and go outside immediately so our dogs can relieve themselves then we go in and have breakfast. After breakfast, I start work while the dogs tend to relax on the bed behind me. I will take them out to potty again on my first break then on my lunch hour, we go for a walk through the forest behind the house. They get another potty break on my second break and then another short walk after I sign out of work for the day in the evening time. We free-feed our dogs but if we have other dogs in the house we will adjust the feeding and schedule to the visiting dog(s). We are normally in bed around 10 pm and our dogs are fully on our schedule for sleeping. If we need to step out for a bit, our dogs are good being left alone in the house but we do have a crate if needed for dogs that aren't good being left alone.
About: I have been petsitting since 2014, as of recently taking a break from my full time corporate job.

Happy to take long walks if needed. Your pup is also welcome to stay in my home if you’d prefer as long they are ok with other dogs/cats! Open availability, full time care. If housesitting I’m happy to spend majority of day with your pets, however will need to leave a few hours of day to take care of my own. I have a fully fenced in wooded yard and two of my own dogs who are ready to play. They are supervised at all times if outside.

I always look forward to building a trusting relationship and continuing care for your fury family member(s) whenever you may need it. I prefer interviewing before hand so I can get to know you and your pet(s), and, of course, so that you feel can comfortable with me. I am very flexible with my schedule and reliable all around. Love for your pets will always be a top priority of mine- that’s a given. This is something that excites me, as animal rights/connection is one of my greatest (if not the greatest) passions. Please contact me and you can expect a quick reply! Pet care will be and always is my first priority. Besides this, I’m currently working a separate very part-time job and in college online until the end of summer- I am very open and available as of now. No matter the location, I care for all animals the same. As far as what I can do for your family (as of now), I am available to come care for your pets at your home, where I’ll follow any instructions and precautions you provide just as I would my own. I am available to come take your baby(babies) on walks when you may need, feedings, or just some love in your absence, of course!!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10. I grew up with both and have always loved animals/pets! I'm very respectful and caring. I currently work full time as an accountant in Louisville, CO. I can work remote (anywhere) Friday. House sitting I can any time Fri - Sun. Dog walking I can 530 pm (I'm out right at 5) on Mon - Fri, and any time during the weekend! I of course will follow any instruction. Am fine walking, running with your dog. I'm also very comfortable if it's a dog not as friendly with others (in terms of walking etc).
About: I have had dogs,cats,bunnies,chickens throughout my life. I know how to care for each one. I am a trusted and reliable handler with any family pet(s). Being a animal person is in my blood and I absolutely love it and enjoy caring for them. Currently I have a part time job. I also ride horses for friends that are away on trips. Together they don't pay my bills. Working with dogs and other animals for clients I have been thinking of doing for awhile now. It would be much appreciated to have you as my client and make this a career. I already have three dogs with me. Having any animals stay over at my house will not be an option at all. My dogs can be very wild and not the best behaved around new furry friends. For the safety of your pet and mine it would be best to dog sit over night at the clients home if preferred. Everything else is open.
About: Hello pet parents! I hope you choose me to help care for your pets - I can't wait to meet them! I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I grew up with many varieties of animals among the years and numerous cats and dogs. I have always been a huge animal lover and can't wait until I have the property and space to home more friends! Until then, I am eager to meet others' animals and help take care of them and give them lots of love! The very first thing I have always done at new people's houses with animals is greet all of the animals. I am a highly energetic individual with a strong eye that seeks to pay attention to the needs of other beings. I am looking forward to hearing from you and your pets I make my own scheduled so I am highly flexible and available for caring for your pets! I have two cats and a fish that I give lots of love and attention daily - and looking forward to caring more for other animals too! I do not have a home space in which I am capable of taking in others animals currently, but I take care of the pets at the owners home this same way! First thing when I get home is to greet my pets and give them attention and love. I play for a little and then check to see the water bowl is full (and for my cats that the food is also - I know dogs are on a schedule). With dogs, I would regularly schedule times to take them out for walks - and make sure I match them for however they wanna walk! (Slow, adventurous, running a little faster) I make sure that I have plenty of plastic bags and treats to take with on the walk. I do not like to leave dogs alone for more than 2-4 hours. I love interacting with animals and giving them lots of attention!

“Our dog loves her time with Mitzi and Kliff's pack! It's always so sweet to get all the great pictures of all the adventures they have together! Thanks so much!”
“Steve and his family were amazing! They took care of our dog Walter and he had the best time with them. We received updates and photos throughout the weekend and a little drawing of Walter to take home! Highly recommend Steve and will send Walter back again soon!”
“By all accounts Maple had a great time with Fred! I enjoyed the pictures and could tell she was in a dog lovers home! Peace of mind, while out of town, is priceless.”
“Barney absolutely loved his mini vacation at Megan’s. She sent a ton of pics throughout the day of Barney and Bos having a blast. Megan and her husband tired Barney out as he took a big nap once we got home. Megan is an excellent Rover choice and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Golden, Arvada, and Denver area in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter ?”
“Emma was amazing with Curry! Her dogs even taught him how to howl 🥰 she included many photos and videos and Curry misses being there already, we can tell!! She will be our new go to sitter for him.”
“Tom took great care of my reactive dog and made sure he got lots of attention and exercise! He always responded quickly, followed instructions/ requests, and he sent lots of pictures during the stay.”
“Georgia was so wonderful with our dogs. She took such great care understanding & accommodating their individual needs and behaviors. I would not hesitate in asking Georgia to watch Rosie & Daisy again. It’s nice being able to relax while away, knowing they’re in her care. The picture & video updates were great as well!”
“Paul and Delia were wonderful. They sent lots of pics of our pup and kept in great communication. They even groomed her on the house and were accommodating when our flight was delayed. We appreciate their care and kindness!”
“John and Lynn are the best rover sitters for our little pup Lexi! We always go on our trips knowing she is in such great, loving hands. They love her like she is their own and she is definitely spoiled with them! We always appreciate the photos and easy communication. Can’t recommend them enough!”
“Barbara was so sweet and kind to Leia. She let Leia explore her house and her yard (which Leia loves) and took care of her. Leia loved her time with Barbara and another dog Barbara was sitting. Barbara also constantly kept us updated with pictures. Leia had the best time in Colorado at Barbara's place.”
“I was worried about Crystal staying overnight, but was she fine. I credit that to Jamie and the excellent care that she received from her. Will use her petsitting service again.”
“We are a consistent repeat customer with Steve and Susan. They are great dog sitters and we feel really good about leaving our dog with them. They play with him and take care of him as if he was their own. They are flexible and always take good care of our dog. Would 100% recommend!”
“For starters, Sarah was incredibly flexible as wildfires and snow impacted travel plans. Sarah was communicative, understanding and helpful. Koko is the sweetest dog and was a great play buddy for Nova who seemed to feel right at home, right away. I would highly recommend Sarah as a sitter for your pup, and I would love to have Nova stay with her in the future.”
“Kimberly was highly communicative, flexible, and showed my pup the love and care that we give her at home. I really appreciated the text updates and pictures and will certainly be boarding with her again. It was a great experience all around.”
“Angie was fantastic with both of my dogs, Nana and Wes! I dropped them off at her home, and the whole process was seamless. She has a calm, friendly energy that the dogs responded to right away, and I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her. Her fenced-in yard is a huge plus, and she kept me updated with great communication the entire time. So glad to have found someone I trust - highly recommend!”
