“Alex and Daniel were wonderful to work with! They kindly gave us updates on our dog while she was with them and it really seemed like she warmed up to them quickly. We are so greatful to have met them and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
“Natalia and Edward were wonderful with my dog, Olly! From the start, they were kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Olly in their care. Throughout the week, they sent me regular updates and lots of cute pictures, which I really appreciated, it was so nice to see how happy he looked. They clearly took great care of him and made sure he got plenty of attention and love. When I picked him up, he was calm, content, and clearly had a great time. I’m so grateful for the care they gave him and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Natalia and Edward to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters!”

Great thanks for your flexibility on our drop off and pick up time when our plane was late! I especially loved that Marcel slept with your mom and ignored the bed. He had a wonderful team to care for him. I will definitely use your services again. Thanks again❤️🙏🤗”

“Cal and Keely were fantastic! They really went the extra mile to make our dogs feel comfortable. This was their first time staying with people they didn't know, so we weren't sure how they would react. But we were quickly reassured when we viewed the photos and videos of the dogs playing and cuddling that Cal and Kelly texted us. They made it very easy and even helped us navigate the Rover website when we had to add an extra day. We'll be recommending Cal and Kelly to our friends at the dog park.”
“Our dogs seemed to have had a wonderful time at Kamille’s! They made new friends and got lots of attention, and I was so appreciative of Kamille’s communication and photos and videos! Very happy with the experience!”

Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”
“Our 13 yo pitbull loved her stay with Christian! She is very communicative, sent us photos, and made sure she got all her meds. Would leave our pup with her again.”

“Halle is an angel on earth. I was out of town for a week and she stayed with my adult cat and two kittens… she sent frequent updates, took exceptionally amazing care of the three boys, and left my place in perfect shape… I just can’t say enough good things about Halle, and I’m so glad she was available! Looking forward to hopefully having a chance to use her services again.”
“Karrah took excellent care of my cat Otis while I was away for a few days. Otis warmed up to her quickly and she sent me great updates with pictures. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for cat sitting!”
“Michael did a wonderful job with my really shy cat and made me feel more comfortable leaving her for a holiday. He kept me updated, sent pictures, and adjusted when I made requests. No last minute issues or surprises coming home - I’ll definitely rebook him in the future.”
“Leo was patient with my shy senior cat, who slowly warmed up to him over the two weeks and happily accepted pets from Leo by the end. He did a great job of keeping Smokey’s food and water replenished, as well as making sure Smokey took his evening meds. I would be happy to book Leo for future cat sitting needs.”
“Kim took the time to learn about my cat’s personality and how to care for him. It looked like my cat had the time of his life during Kim’s well-documented visits. I am so happy we reached out to Kim for cat-sitting! I highly recommend her and would gladly book again!!”
“Larquana took such great care of our two cats during our family vacation. She spent quality time with them during each visit giving them pets and playing with their toys.”
“Dana was an excellent cat sitter. She was punctual and responsive, and took great care of my senior cat by feeding her, setting up the auto feeder, and cleaning up litter. Dana was also gracious in accommodating a last minute change in my travel plans.”
“Jason was wonderful. He was communicative, went above and beyond (like offering to pick up more food when I miscounted and didn't leave enough cans of food), and was generally lovely to correspond with. Me and my cats wholeheartedly endorse!”
“Brianna was super communicative, took lots of photos of our cat, and provided very detailed updates about what was going on while we were away. She is AWESOME - strong recommend!”
“Rounida is consistently fantastic. She is clearly a cat lover and it shows in her care for my kitties. I have a big multi-cat household and she meets all my kitties where they are, gives the social ones some snuggles and lets the anti-social ones do their own thing. I am always confident when Rounida is looking after my cats, I know they are in amazing hands.”
“Drew is a fantastic sitter! We have used him before for drop-ins and he provided such great care that we booked him again for our most recent vacation. Yet again, he provided above and beyond for our cats. I very highly recommend him!”
“Sophie was great with my two senior guinea pigs! In addition to normal care she administered meds and was detail-oriented, letting me know when one of the meds was running low. Will be booking with her again!”
“Our cat Charlie came back to us happy and relaxed after staying with Rachael. I was nervous about boarding him but she updated us daily with pictures which gave us peace of mind while we were away for a couple of days. I know he was well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Megan was amazing!!! This was my first time leaving my 5 month old kitten alone and Megan took such good care of him. There were lots of pictures, which really helped me feel better about being away, and it was clear how much Milo loved Megan. Will absolutely use Megan in the future and highly suggest you do too!”

“I couldn’t be happier with Adi & Pat’s care for Louie! They communicate well and clearly, they asked good questions to make sure they’d cover all the bases for Louie’s care, and provided regular updates and photos, which were greatly appreciated. Louie came home happy and relaxed after his stay and knowing he had a comfortable time is great peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for anyone looking for local sitters and I will certainly be rebooking for any future stays!”
“Antonio is very calm and has a lovely home for your fur baby to enjoy while staying there. Barklee came home exhausted which usually means he had lots of fun.”
“Chad and Regina were very accommodating and flexible in helping tend to my pup’s first dog sit. Feeling at ease to leave her in their good hands in the future!”
About: I used to be a manager at a dog shelter which I absolutely loved before moving to a new state. I’ve also grown up on a farm and handled all types of pets from goats, pigs, cows to dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish. I believe every animal deserves to be treated as family not just a pet. I am always home until 3pm when I leave for work, but when I am not home my partner is home. Someone will always be there to take care of your furry or scaly family and will never be left without someone even for a second. They will be welcomed with love, play, and kindness in my home. We will ensure nothing is around that will harm the animal whether it is cables, shoes, food, etc. we will always be around to ensure your pet is taken care of and in good health.
“Shantell was amazing with my pup Kiko. I really can’t recommend her enough. She is reliable, communicative, and accommodating. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially with my energetic pup.”
“I felt very confident my dog was being very well-looked after. Cassidy sent me frequent photos and updates and seemed very happy to have my dog. I will definitely contact Cassidy the next time I need daycare of boarding.”
“Shanilka was super responsive and understanding of my dog's needs!! She was very kind and prompt with pick up and drop off so I didn't have to wait long in the cold. Highly recommend!!”
“Fitz came home from her daycare stay with Amanda and Andrew so happy and ready for a nap! Amanda has been so easy to communicate with, and hosted us for a brief meet and greet before Fitz’s first stay. She asked lots of great questions about how to keep Fitz safe and happy, and drop-off/pick-up were a breeze. We so appreciate the peace of mind knowing our little girl is being treated like family. Amanda also sent pictures during the day so we could see our pup living her best life. We (and especially Fitz) can’t wait until next time!”
“Joey did a fantastic job to take great care of my 7-year-old labrador who had a bit of separation anxiety. I am so grateful with Joey to accept the last minute request after a brief meet up. I would love to use his services again and highly recommend him. Thanks again Joey for your flexibility and patience with Meimei!”

I understand that leaving your pet with someone new takes real trust. That's why I bring the same consistency, attention, and genuine affection to every visit that I'd want for my own dogs. Whether it's sticking to your pet's exact feeding schedule, handling medications with care, or simply making sure a shy pup feels safe and loved, I show up fully. Every pet and every owner is different. I pride myself on adapting to what works for your family, following your routines, and communicating openly so you never have to worry. Big or small, hyper or mellow, special needs or not, every dog and cat has a personality worth celebrating and I'm here for all of them. -Services 🚶 Dog Walking: Daily walks tailored to your dog's energy and pace.

If you prefer to meet in person, there is a $25 fee for up to 30 minutes. I treat every pet and every home as if they were my own. I cannot wait to meet your furry family member! I currently work remotely, which allows me to provide consistent supervision, flexible scheduling, and attentive, personalized care for pets with diverse needs and routines. Because I am home throughout the day, I’m able to closely monitor behavior, maintain feeding and medication schedules, and provide regular potty breaks, playtime, and enrichment. This flexibility is especially beneficial for puppies, senior pets, or animals with anxiety or medical needs who require extra attention and reassurance. My schedule allows me to be fully present, responsive, and committed to creating a calm, structured, and loving environment. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication in every home. I carefully follow each pet’s established schedule, feeding instructions, and behavioral guidelines. In my clients’ homes, I respect their space while ensuring pets feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. I monitor for any changes in behavior, keep areas clean and hazard-free, and provide regular updates with photos. My goal is to create a calm, structured, and loving atmosphere where pets feel safe, trusted, and well cared for at all times.
“Josefa took special care of Indy and treated him with lots of love! She was very quick at responding to me and sent lots of pictures. I would definitely book again with her!”
About: I have my darling golden English cocker spaniel who just turned 9 and I am a huge dog person. I see them as actual babies. I’m a college student on summer vacation, so I have a lot of free time to walk and take care of a lot of dogs Keeping an eye on them, I’m very observant of certain objects or foods or anything dangerous and I love to keep dogs engaged and happy.

As a home based pet sitter, I’m available all day to give your pet the attention they crave. I’ll play, cuddle, and follow any special requests or dietary needs you have. Plus, we have experience caring for senior dogs, teaching tricks and basic commands, ensuring your pet has a fun and enriching time.

She’s available throughout the day to walk and play with your pet. Our weekends are also flexible ensuring your pet is always cared for while with me. While we live in an apartment, there are plenty of areas to walk your pet. We are 5 minutes down the street from a lovely dog park where, if permitted, we’d happily take your pet to run and play.
About: I'm a small dog (shitzu) mama for over 9 years as well as dog-sitting small dogs for friends for over 20 years. If you want someone to pamper your pooch, I'm your person! I work from home so can be pretty flexible with dog walks, check-ins and more. I love nothing more than having dogs in the house while I work! I have a fenced back yard and a very friendly small dog (shitzu) who gets on with all hoomans and dogs! I can crate your dog and keep them on separate floors at night if you prefer too.
About: I'm a lifelong dog owner/lover who is also about a year and a half into learning how to be a cat mom. It's a pretty tight competition between my 8yo son and my 6yo beagle as to who loves dogs more. I work from home so if your pet doesn't like to be alone, that is not a problem. Walks and brushings are daily activities. Since the animals are allowed on the furniture the daily brushing is a must. Our cat has asthma and uses a daily inhaler, so if your pet also has medical issues/needs, they will fit right in. I've been petsitting for years for friends and family and would love to host your loved one as well. I work from home and occasionally have meetings or appointments during the day, so regular walks and lots of attention are easily managed. I also work for myself, so I have the ability to set my schedule. My backyard is fenced in, so unexpected potty needs or sunbathing are always accommodated. No space or piece of furniture is off limits to pets in my home.
“I normally don’t leave reviews, but it’s my sincere pleasure to sing Anna’s praises. I had a recurring daycare booking for my Irish Setter two days a week, and Anna was wonderful. Anna was reliable, kind, and clearly loves dogs. My dog was always excited to see her and came home happy and well cared for. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I’m so grateful we found her and would happily recommend Anna to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter. Five Stars all around!!”

“We are just thrilled with the care Leo's reliability, kindness, and the care he shows for our dog. I happened to be home when he came by yesterday, and saw that he removed his shoes when he came in. Our family doesn't wear shoes in the house and we have a tray next to the door for shoes, but we never ask or expect guests to remove theirs. Leo is so considerate and observant that he did this on his own. I think this speaks volumes about him. We feel very fortunate to have him caring for Jake.”
“Jonathan was great with our recently adopted dog that gave him a hard time. He was calm, patient and adapted to the situation as needed, communicating well along the way.”
“Michael did a great job taking care of our dog! She immediately took to him and was nice and tired after good long walks. Very communicative and easy to work with!”
About: I’ve trained and taken care of dogs since I was 15(now 32). Have experience with puppy and senior as well as medical needs. Apollo is my 2.5 year old lab who is incredibly friendly to people and animals. Great walking partner! Please let me know if your dog is not good with other dogs. I currently work full time remotely. I’m mostly available on the weekends and week days after 4pm but can sneak out for lunch visits and walks. With experience and genuine care, I offer a safe, structured, and dependable environment where your pets can relax, play, and feel completely at home as well as a great play partner with Apollo.
“Victor was great! We needed a Rover at the last minute during the holiday season and he was available. He met up with us the same day to go over everything and communicated the entire time we were out of town. We came back to a very happy dog! We can’t thank him enough and will definitely try to book again if he’s available.”
About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.
“Carmen was great. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking and pivot when needed. We agreed on walks so to ensure her current guest dog’s needs were also met. I really appreciate her promptness and how well she took care of Oreo! Will use her again and recommend to others. Thanks Carmen!”
About: I am excited to help take care of your fur baby! I am available for dog walks and drop-in visits. I have been a dog lover all my life. I know many of the dogs in the neighborhood and often find dogs running to me in excitement wanting to meet me. Caring for dogs has always brought be a lot of joy! I grew up with a yellow Labrador retriever as a kid. As an adult, once I was able to afford a dog, my then boyfriend (now husband) and I adopted our dog Hazel, a sweet 50 pound foxhound, from a local rescue organization. I have worked hard to train her well. She has had several medical issues over the years, so I have learned how to effectively handle medications, vet visits, post-op care, and recovery. While I am new to Rover, I have helped care for dogs for years for other family members and friends. I have helped care for many different kinds of dogs from a tiny Maltepoo to a large 70 pound mixed breed dog. I have dog sat regularly for my parents’ beagle, a friend’s boxer mix, and my mother in-law’s miniature German spitz that looks a bit like a Pomeranian. I have also walked many other kinds of dogs including a miniature dachshund and a large mixed breed dog that was mostly lab, pit bull, and husky. Most of the dogs I have cared for are under 50 pounds, and given my size, I am most comfortable with small and medium size dogs unless they are already very good on a leash and not reactive outside. I am very comfortable helping with dog walks, meal time, medications if needed so long as instructions are clear, and play time. Until mid-August, I have lots of availability for dog walks and drop-in care during the week and on weekends except for a couple weekends when I will be traveling. After August 16, I will have more limited availability but generally be available for dog walks or drop-ins on Saturday afternoons and/or Sundays. I always make a point of coming prepared and learning about the dog ahead of time to make sure I know what he or she needs and likes. I talk to the owner to get a sense of what the dog can and cannot eat, what if any medication they take and the dosage, how they interact with other dogs, how they interact with other animals, how they interact with people, and what they do and don’t like. Dogs have personalities like we do, so it’s important to know this ahead of time as best as possible to avoid putting dogs in uncomfortable or potentially dangerous situations. For example, some dogs are very social with other dogs, love daycare or dog parks, and just love to play. Others, like my dog, absolutely hate dog parks and are often skittish around other dogs they don’t know, but love meeting people. Still others may be a bit reactive to certain triggers like certain sounds or smells or other animals that don’t know. The more I learn in advance, the better. It is very important to take the time to build trust with pets and to make them feel safe and loved. I always let a new dog approach me first and pay close attention to their body language. I try to meet them on their level as well. Once I gain their trust, which usually comes fairly quickly, then I can safely play with them and walk them. When out on a walk, I never walk dogs off leash unless in a fully fenced yard or park. The only exception to this is a dog I own and know is trained very well and has exceptional recall even in highly distracting environments. Since our area is fairly urban with lots of distractions, cars, bikes, and other animals, I generally do not think it is safe for a dog to be off leash outside. I also prefer to bring treats on walks and have a mix of training treats and high value treats to help condition the dog to good behavior and keep them focused if there is a risky distraction they need to avoid such as a reactive dog or a stray cat. I clicker trained my dog and find this to be pretty effective. However, I follow the lead of the owner with their training methods and the terms they use for certain commands to make sure the dog feels confident and safe. It is worth noting though that I do not and will not use coercive or negative reinforcement methods such as prong or shock collars, hitting, or yelling at a dog. These methods are ineffective, cruel to the dog, and in many cases they actually worsen stress, aggression, and reactivity in dogs. When on a walk I am very cognizant of hazards to avoid like chicken bones, pesticides on lawns, glass, traffic, animals the dog may chase, etc. I generally do not read or text on my phone while walking so I can focus on the dog and making sure both of us are safe. This is especially the case for larger dogs, since I am only 5 feet tall. Ultimately, when I am caring for a dog as a dog walker or dropping in for a visit, that is the dog’s time. I get a sense of what they like and follow their lead so they enjoy their time. Hounds often like nothing better than to sniff everything outside. Dachshunds usually love to run and make noise. Retrievers often can play fetch for hours. Shepherds and herding breads like border collies sometimes like nothing more than to show off how smart and athletic they are or to herd a group.
About: During the Covid-19 pandemic, I pet sat and walked dogs full time providing care to puppies, elderly, and special needs pups. I have cared for many different dog breeds and am skilled at meeting their energy level and curating visits individualized to each pup! I have experience administering medications, and working with pups who are vision/hearing impaired. I am currently working a split schedule, so I have availability for visits early in the morning, midday, and evenings that I would love to fill with some animal bonding time! I just recently moved to the area, and miss my old pet care clients! So I would like to rebuild pet care back into my schedule! I will be diligent and follow instructions given by pet parents! I prefer to walk dogs on a harness as it is safer when walking, as it’s hard to break or slip out of.
“Larquana was awesome with our high energy dog Milo. She was timely, sent me updates and photos of Milo looking extremely happy during their time together, and ensured to put all of Milo’s items back in their place which was very helpful and sweet. We will definitely be calling Larquana again.”
“Sandi was able to step in for me in an emergency situation and I could not have been more grateful. It’s clear that Sandi is an experienced dog walker in the area and knows just where to take the dogs so they can play and have fun. Thank you Sandi!”
“Danielle is prompt, reliable and generally all around great with my dog. I am always at ease knowing she will be the one to care for my dog. When my dog was acting distraught- Danielle was able to go early in the day and help her. It really eased my mind when I was at work and couldn’t get back in time.”
“This was the first time I booked Natalia to walk my pup. She was very easy to coordinate with and sent me a couple of photos of their walk. I would definitely book her again.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have always valued spending time with and caring for them. I still walk, feed, play with, and love my two family dogs, although I am not the primary caretaker. Recently, I adopted my own cat whom I feed and play with daily, change her litter box, etc. I am not able to care for my own dog right now, as I’m very busy with dental school and do not feel ready for one, but I want many of my own in the future and cannot wait to care for your dog(s)!! I’m currently on summer break until mid-August, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets! During the semester, I’ll still be available on weekends. I will make sure to provide your pets with the best care possible, whether it’s for a walk or a longer stay. I plan to offer the best care depending on the situation!
About: I have grown up with a family that took in rescue dogs. As a result, I have a lot of experience walking dogs, cleaning up after them, and bonding with them. I also want to do this job because I love dogs and do not have one of my own! ;) I follow the pet owner's instructions carefully. I provide the pet with TONS of attention, grooming, petting. Typically, pet owners have a specific amount of food to provide the dog, I follow that instruction. I also pay attention to the regimen and recommendations provided by the owner. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to the pets I care for. I prioritize their needs, ensuring they receive regular walks, playtime, and affection. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they feel comfortable and safe by providing a welcoming environment. I have designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing, and I maintain a clean and organized space. I follow the pet's regular routine as closely as possible to minimize any stress or anxiety. In my client's home, I respect their space and privacy while focusing on the pet's needs. I follow the owner's instructions meticulously, whether it's feeding schedules, medication administration, or specific exercise routines. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and secure, especially when the owners are away for an extended period.

“Natalia and Edward were wonderful with my dog, Olly! From the start, they were kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Olly in their care. Throughout the week, they sent me regular updates and lots of cute pictures, which I really appreciated, it was so nice to see how happy he looked. They clearly took great care of him and made sure he got plenty of attention and love. When I picked him up, he was calm, content, and clearly had a great time. I’m so grateful for the care they gave him and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Natalia and Edward to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters!”
“Marcel came back to me well loved and cared for by Shanilka and her family! Marcel was very relaxed at returning home. Thank you for the pictures that you sent. Great thanks for your flexibility on our drop off and pick up time when our plane was late! I especially loved that Marcel slept with your mom and ignored the bed. He had a wonderful team to care for him. I will definitely use your services again. Thanks again❤️🙏🤗”
“Aashna and Sidhanth were great! They’re were very responsive and accommodating when I had to adjust the schedule. They sent pictures and updates twice a day. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Cal and Keely were fantastic! They really went the extra mile to make our dogs feel comfortable. This was their first time staying with people they didn't know, so we weren't sure how they would react. But we were quickly reassured when we viewed the photos and videos of the dogs playing and cuddling that Cal and Kelly texted us. They made it very easy and even helped us navigate the Rover website when we had to add an extra day. We'll be recommending Cal and Kelly to our friends at the dog park.”
“Our dogs seemed to have had a wonderful time at Kamille’s! They made new friends and got lots of attention, and I was so appreciative of Kamille’s communication and photos and videos! Very happy with the experience!”

“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“Evan and his wife stepped in at the very last minute to take care of Kobi for the weekend - and not only did they agree, but they were so enthusiastic it felt like I was doing them a favor and not the other way around! Communication was great with check ins during the day and drop off/pick up went smoothly. So grateful to have found them!”
“Our 13 yo pitbull loved her stay with Christian! She is very communicative, sent us photos, and made sure she got all her meds. Would leave our pup with her again.”
“We are truly thankful to Michael for taking care of our dog while we traveled. She clearly had a great time and we appreciated the regular messages and photos of walks during her stay. Thanks Michael!”
“I genuinely cannot recommend McKinley enough! She is the sweetest, kindest, and most thoughtful sitter I could have ever asked for. From the moment I dropped Hamilton off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such amazing hands. She sent me daily photos and checked in throughout the day with updates on everything he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I’ve honestly never seen Hamilton happier. He looked so comfortable, loved, and genuinely excited to be there, I think he was actually a little sad to leave, lol. It was so obvious that McKinley treated him like he was her own, and that meant the world to me. If you’re looking for someone who will truly care for your pet, keep you updated, and go above and beyond, McKinley is the person to book. I would trust her with Hamilton again in a heartbeat and will absolutely be using her in the future. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their pet!”
“Austin and Majid took great care of our pup while we were away for a week. Our dog is a rescue with a history of some behavioral issues, and what drew us to them is that they were very comfortable and confident in taking care of pups with all kinds of temperaments. We appreciated the updates and felt great knowing she was safe and well-cared for.”
“Boarding my puppy with Amani went great! This was my dog Blob's first time boarding, so I really appreciated all of the photos and videos that Amani sent every day of naptime, playtime, and bathtime. Our pick-up and drop-off also went very smoothly and she kept me updated with how Blob was doing health-wise and potty training-wise. Overall a great experience and I highly recommend Amani.”
“My mutt Edna took to Brendan right away. No wonder ... he is gentle and affectionate with her and very dog-savvy (i.e. copes very well with her quirks)! Excellent communication, both in timeliness and content. We are looking forward to her next stay!”
“Rodrigo did a great job taking care of my sweet Frenchie, Bella. He sent me daily pictures and made sure to listen carefully to my care instructions. His own dog, Luna, was a great playmate to Bella and she came home happy and exhausted. I'd definitely use Rodrigo again!”
“Johanna is absolutely wonderful! Our sweet Millie has some extra needs and Johanna was so understanding and went above and beyond to make Millie comfortable in her home. We are so grateful to have found a reliable, kind, and understanding sitter!”
