“Ms. Stacy THANK YOU!!! You were very informative with pictures and videos. My family and I were soo appreciative of your A1 customer service. Just with the initial conversation, you put my heart at ease knowing I would be leaving my precious Reign for a few days, but that she would be safe and loved. I somehow think Reign misses you lots and that boiled chicken lol. Again, thank you for your stellar service. You come highly recommended and we will rebook in the coming months!”
“I completely trust Madelyn to care for my dog Charlie. He loves her family and their dog Penny! Madelyn is great to communicate with and easy going. She kept me updated during Charlie’s stay and shared photos which allowed us to enjoy our trip with full confidence that our dog was well taken care of.”
“This was my first experience with Rover. We had a last minute opportunity to leave town for the weekend and unfortunately at a hotel and venue that were not pet friendly. Contacted Reymun on Thursday and he was able to take Sophie on Friday! We'd previously put her in a kennel once and it was clearly very stressful for her. While Reymun said he was open for long walks he also said he was cool with sitting on the couch watching TV. Sophie is older and sleeping through movies is her favorite pastime! We picked her up on Sunday relaxed and comfortable. Would recommend Reymun and if needed, I will contact him again!”
“Robert was fantastic with my pups. I had concerns about my 14 year old boy with weak hips but he did so well with Robert taking care of him. Robert sent me pictures every day and gave me daily reports that gave me peace of mind while I was away. I recommend Robert for an excellent boarding experience.”
“Richard was amazing with our Ginny girl! He did some great training with her and her recall has significantly improved. He took wonderful care of her and you could tell she was such a happy girl with him. Thank you Richard!”
“Sarah is amazing! She has taken Kaiser in twice now while we’ve been out of town and he has such a good time and well taken cared of. She consistently provides updates and pictures which is really nice too. I would highly recommend Sarah for watching your pup!”
“They took very good care of my dog! They sent me many videos/pictures of my dog! I felt very safe with leaving my dog there! I would definitely rebook if I could!”
About: I have owned or cared for my own dogs my entire life. Having lost my senior 'Stanley' last year I find myself longing for a dog's company and spirit. My own dogs have lived long lives - two for 18 years, one for 17 so I know how to give meds and care for their special needs. Stanley's petsitter recommended I try Rover - so here I am! I can come to your house, or bring your dog here to my 1/2 acre fenced in yard, with a dog door to the house and lots of time to share with your pet. I am retired and in Tallahassee or the vicinity walking or meeting up with friends. I have lots of free time to share with your pet. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in yard and a dog door to the house. I have a pool. I can come to your house if needed, or care for your dog here.
“This was a last minute booking; Colette was very accommodating. She sent daily photos of Reggie; he likes posing for the camera. Reggie had a great time and we’re looking forward to doing it again.”
“Ruger enjoyed his stay with Diana! He even ran back inside to give her a goodbye lick! I enjoyed getting pictures/updates of Ruger and how quickly Diana responded to my questions. Will stay again!”

About: I am a vet tech with 10 years of experience in the field. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I pet sit for friends and family and am happy to share my services with those in need. I love dogs and cats to my core. I work full time at a specialty vet clinic in town. I have Saturday, Sunday, and Monday off to spend time socializing with your pets. From 7-8:30 am on a typical work day will be spent getting pets ready for the day. Feeding breakfast, morning meditations if needed, play time in the fenced yard. Then from 12-1 will be when they are let out again during my lunch break. From 3-7 someone that lives in the house is home to check on the needs of the pets in the house. After 7 I will be home for dinner time, play time, and getting ready for bed. I have a spare bedroom dedicated for boarding pets. I have a play pen, and dog crates if needed. I have a fenced in yard. All my furniture in my house is pet friendly. I have dogs and cats that live in my home and are friendly with other dogs and cats. Also a meet and greet beforehand is always a good idea.
“Our dog loves staying with Melanie! She loves exploring the property. It's a fun vacation for her, and we have appreciated Melanie's communication and care for our fur kid. We will be using Melanie again!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats and even horses since the age of 9. From drop ins, dog walking, overnights and even puppy classes I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have potty trained, crate trained, and taught basic commands to both puppy and adult dogs. I have cared for senior dogs and have experience giving meds and care for post surgery/medical procedure. From the time I was a child I have loved being trusted to care for neighbors and friends animals while they were away. No animal is off limits as I love them all! I look forward to meeting and working with you and yours! I am currently staying at home while my husband works so my schedule is very open. Every day of the week is a possibility for drop ins or overnight care. I live in a home with plenty of space to crate your baby if they stay the night, ensuring their safety and ours. I currently own a 75lb goldendoodle who loves playing with other dogs. My neighborhood is incredibly dog friendly and is lined on a paved circle perfect for walking dogs. I usually do an AM and PM walk to allow dogs to potty, along with intermittently taking them out throughout the day. Most play time happens inside where there is a much lower risk of escape or overheating.
“Nilanie did a great job watching our dog, Lola, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent adorable photos everyday of our pup and provided consistent updates on how she was adjusting. Definitely recommend!”
“We left our puppy (well - almost a dog - 11 months) with Ain for 7 days. Ain took really good.care. Despite inclement weather - it rained near constantly for all the 7 days. Our pup has a lot of hair - Ain had to give him a bath twice. And she kept us constantly updated - sending us photos and messages. She is very calm, loving and caring!!”
“My 2 dogs looked like they had an absolute blast with Alicia, her fiancé and their dog Maddie! I got plenty of updates and pics of them throughout their stay and their adventures and fun. They got plenty of exercise and loving based on what their needs were. They made sure to do a meet n greet which was helpful to make sure their dog and mine would get along and Maddie was super sweet. Overall, absolutely will be using them again when I need a sitter again!”

“Andrew deserves more than 5 stars - We were gone during the severe cold snap that hit Tallahassee, and he not only set the spigots to dripping, he came back and checked them on the day when the pipes were temporarily frozen to either shut our water off or adjust them again. Our shy indoor cats are also responding to his visits - something that usually takes a couple of year - so he his working his magic on befriending them. In a nut shell, he has watched over our house and pets like they were his own. It is much appreciated.”
“Iomar took excellent care of our cat and guinea pigs! We received lots of adorable photos while we were away, and it was clear they were well taken care of. We would book again!”
About: In my childhood I had many cats and I have now had a dog for almost 8 years! I started dog sitting about 3 years ago for my neighbors and I really enjoy it. I have taken care of their dogs while they were on vacation and have also dropped in while they were working. I have been around pets my whole life and I love them! I love going on walks and playing with them and am very passionate about animal care. I currently work part time at a bakery but my schedule is pretty flexible around that. I do school mostly online so work is the only time I wouldn’t be with the pet! I occasionally work in afternoons, sometimes in the mornings. Contact me and I can work a shcedule out for you! I am very diligent about following instructions for your pet and I am respectful of both your space and the pet! I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.
“Madeleine was the best!! Booked last minute after boarding cancelled on me day before leaving on a trip. She was amazing!! From communication to timelines on check-ins, 10/10!! ❤️”
“Thank you so much Katie!! She was able to do a last minute drop in visit for my babies including a longer distance drive. she was very communicative and made sure that everything was taken care of.”
About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years. My mother has been a Rover sitter since I was a child and I have much experience with her going to help at clients houses. I have experience with dogs of all ages from birth to end of life, as well as cats. I am an avid animal lover and owner of exotic pets as well. I grew up on a homestead and have experience with many types of pets including livestock! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and invertebrates, I have experience with them all. I grew up with 10 dogs! My schedule is very open. I am currently post bachelors taking a break from school, as well as pursuing my degrees in Art and Anthropology. I have flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs, and I love to have detailed communication to make sure that we are always on the same page. As a sitter I am prepared to follow your pet's schedule and specific needs to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I would want to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure I have a clear grasp on their schedule and needs and follow them precisely. I am very detailed when it comes to directions for my own pets so I am prepared to give your babies the same care I want for mine. I have so much in depth experience with dogs growing up on a homestead, and many of those experiences involved emergencies. I know what signs to look for to make sure your dog is safe and healthy, and will always err on the side of complete caution. I have a strong respect for safety and health and want your dog to not only be taken care of but observed in depth to make sure they are getting everything they need from me. I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.
“Cher was a lifesaver in taking care of our cat, Princess over the holidays. She was quick to respond, accommodating, honest and kind. As stressful as it is for pet owners to leave their fur babies at home while on vacation, it is even more stressful on our pets. Cher's daily visit helped diminish that stress on our cat and us! We happily could tell that Princess was well taken care of when we returned home and would not hesitate to have Cher take care of our little lady again. Thank you, Cher!”
About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog lover with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I live in a house with 1.5 acres of land, including a large, fully fenced grassy yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. I currently have a German Shepherd and a Border Collie, so I’m very familiar with active and intelligent breeds. I also have a 3-year-old child who is very gentle and respectful with dogs, and all interactions are always supervised. I am mostly free after dropping my child off at daycare around 8 a.m., which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding dogs, giving oral medications, and following specific care routines. I truly love caring for dogs and treat every pup like part of my family—with lots of affection, patience, and cuddles. 💛 Please note: • I currently accept dogs under 12 years old • I prefer dogs that are house-trained Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to balance work and pet care effectively. My day usually starts after I drop my child off at daycare around 8:00 AM. From that point, I dedicate time to both my work responsibilities and caring for my pets. I treat every pet like family! Whether in my home or yours, I make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved. My care includes: • Following their feeding and medication schedules • Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free • Monitoring health and behavior closely • Maintaining clean and cozy spaces I provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Caroline came in clutch last minute and took great care of my baby. She made sure he was settled in before she left and came at the perfect time for his night-time potty break.”
“Taylor did a great job with my two cats. She communicated clearly, sent pictures, and dealt with some peculiar kitten behavior. Overall, I found her to be a reliable pet sitter and I would book again.”
“Theo is the best sitter we could have hoped for. He was punctual, attentive, and followed instructions to the letter. We were not worried our entire trip away from home and that's all thanks to Theo.”
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was about 10 years old. Throughout the years I have cared for my neighbors and family friends pets along side my own pups. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I plan my days so that walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise so their pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine, provide walks and playtime, keep food and water fresh, and make sure the home stays tidy. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owners are gone.
About: I have had dogs in my household since I was born, and I have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I have had two Golden Retrievers and a rescue from the animal shelter. I also have had guinea pigs and taken care of them for around 10 years. I have watched our neighbor's and my grandfather's dogs on multiple occasions. I am currently on summer break from my academic studies at Florida State University in Biomedical Engineering. I have quite a lot of traveling planned this summer and am looking for a flexible and enjoyable job to fill in my free time. I am quite familiar with dogs of all kinds. If anything would be required during a pet-sitting, I most likely have it in my place of residence (Crate, Treats, Leashes, Toys, etc.).

About: I grew up around animals of all kinds — dogs, cats, cows, pigs, and more — so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have two spoiled pups of my own, Milly and RJ, and I treat every pet in my care like family. One thing that sets me apart is that I’m a teacher, so during school breaks and summers I’m home throughout the day and able to provide plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. We also have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run and play. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, attentive, and communicative so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Since it’s summer break, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! We usually start the mornings slowly outside before it gets too warm, giving the dogs time to play, explore, and enjoy some fresh air. After breakfast, we spend time relaxing inside where the pups can nap, play, or follow me around while I read or get things done around the house. In the evenings, we head back outside for more playtime, walks, fetch, or whatever activities your dog enjoys most. I’m home throughout the day, so potty breaks, attention, and supervision are never a problem — your pet will get plenty of love and care all day long! 🐾 I will care for your pet like they’re one of my own! 🐾 I know how important routines and comfort are for animals, so I do my best to stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets in my home will receive lots of attention, love, supervision, and cuddles throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play, and pets are welcome to relax inside with me just like family. Treats are always given with owner permission, and I’m happy to accommodate any specific instructions or preferences to help your pet feel comfortable and happy while you’re away.

“Ainla was recommended by our vet. Our two year old dog Sonny is a bit anxious when meeting new people/animals so we didn’t know how his first Rover dayboarding would go. Well, we can report that it went very well! Ainla gave us regular updates and went above and beyond. Sonny will definitely go to her again! 5 stars!”

“I took my dog to Stacy for daycare and he had so much fun playing all day with the dogs there. He came home very happy and sleepy. From the videos she sent me during the day, you could tell how much she loved having him there, and how much he loved her as well. When I dropped him off, I saw she had many dogs of her own, including adorable puppies, and a few that she was watching. This is a great place to take your dog if they love socializing. I will be rebooking again and again for daycare and overnights.”
“Aylee was absolutely wonderful with Peaches! She accommodated us on very short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was incredibly communicative and friendly throughout the entire stay. We felt confident right away that Peaches was in great hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. We would recommend Aylee to anyone and are already looking forward to bringing Peaches back in the future!”

About: (my prices listed are negotiable, every situation is different, so please still feel free to message me, and we can work something out)I LOVE Animals, I'm an Animal Activist, I'm a Vegetarian, I'm always the girl who pulls over to chase a loose dog, let them stay with me until I find their owner, I keep cat food in my car to feed stray cats..animals are just my life. Aside from my 10 month old angel. I'm married and have 2 cats, but they won't be a problem, there's plenty of space for them to be in, when I have your pets over. I'm very trustworthy, I have a clean background, I have a valid Driver's License and car. I am doing this, because I could really use the extra money. And this is perfect for me, animals are my passion. I'd love to watch your babies, while you're at work, so they don't have to be home alone all day. Although any service works for me.

I am also very diligent about safety and will do my best to keep an eye on your pet the whole time. I will clean any messes that may be made and check locks before leaving every time. I always make it a habit to check for food, water, any potential messes, and locks every visit.
About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog lover with over 7 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I live in a house with 1.5 acres of land, including a large, fully fenced grassy yard where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. I currently have a German Shepherd and a Border Collie, so I’m very familiar with active and intelligent breeds. I also have a 3-year-old child who is very gentle and respectful with dogs, and all interactions are always supervised. I am mostly free after dropping my child off at daycare around 8 a.m., which allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. I’m comfortable feeding dogs, giving oral medications, and following specific care routines. I truly love caring for dogs and treat every pup like part of my family—with lots of affection, patience, and cuddles. 💛 Please note: • I currently accept dogs under 12 years old • I prefer dogs that are house-trained Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to balance work and pet care effectively. My day usually starts after I drop my child off at daycare around 8:00 AM. From that point, I dedicate time to both my work responsibilities and caring for my pets. I treat every pet like family! Whether in my home or yours, I make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved. My care includes: • Following their feeding and medication schedules • Daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Keeping them safe, comfortable, and stress-free • Monitoring health and behavior closely • Maintaining clean and cozy spaces I provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“First walk with Katie and a very active and shy Lagotto! She did awesome. I love how she tried to work with him and his leash needs and practiced discernment around other dogs. Caper came back smiling and she now napping. Couldn’t ask for more and I look forward to establishing a consistent relationship with her”
About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years. My mother has been a Rover sitter since I was a child and I have much experience with her going to help at clients houses. I have experience with dogs of all ages from birth to end of life, as well as cats. I am an avid animal lover and owner of exotic pets as well. I grew up on a homestead and have experience with many types of pets including livestock! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and invertebrates, I have experience with them all. I grew up with 10 dogs! My schedule is very open. I am currently post bachelors taking a break from school, as well as pursuing my degrees in Art and Anthropology. I have flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs, and I love to have detailed communication to make sure that we are always on the same page. As a sitter I am prepared to follow your pet's schedule and specific needs to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I would want to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure I have a clear grasp on their schedule and needs and follow them precisely. I am very detailed when it comes to directions for my own pets so I am prepared to give your babies the same care I want for mine. I have so much in depth experience with dogs growing up on a homestead, and many of those experiences involved emergencies. I know what signs to look for to make sure your dog is safe and healthy, and will always err on the side of complete caution. I have a strong respect for safety and health and want your dog to not only be taken care of but observed in depth to make sure they are getting everything they need from me. I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for family for years now and figured it’s time to branch out the business. I live alone, have a large back yard and a nice park nearby my house. I would pet sit at times when I am available to and take on pets in a manner that makes logistical sense for me and my schedule. I check on them and look for any signs of obvious discomfort or distress. Make sure they have time to use the bathroom/clean litter box and water. Most animals will try and communicate to you what they need, so it’s good to follow the routines they have at home and interpret what they need and at what time.
About: Dogs have always been a passion of mine. I find joy in being able to care for another being - especially dogs. I just recently fostered a 10 week old puppy this year, he has now found his furever home. Am comfortable with every dog! ❤️ I have a pretty laid back job that will allow me to leave when needed to walk/take care of dogs etc. Mostly available for long walkings at night I am easy to learn your specific schedules and practices with your dogs. I understand that there are certain ways people like their home and animals to collaborate.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. I currently have a one-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer of my own, so I’m very familiar with providing plenty of exercise, attention, and consistent care to keep active dogs happy and healthy. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring new scents, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and provide you with peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I’m committed to learning each pet’s unique routine and needs. I provide my own dog with a safe, clean, and loving environment. I prioritize daily exercise, enrichment, supervision, and keeping a consistent routine. I’ll provide the same attentive care and attention to every pet I take care of!
“Jordyn took great care of my girl, who was super anxious to spend the night without mommy. Jordyn spent extra time to comfort her which was greatly appreciated. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I've cared for furry friends since I could walk. My family raised me in an environment where caring for animals was a form of education, and one I'm happy to share every day. I own a business that operates in a seasonal fashion. This affords me the opportunity to be available where most aren't. Whether that be for day visits and walks, or night time check ins. My home is great for dogs. My old boy loves company. He's very gentle. I have access to walking trails as well. I am happy to accommodate for kennel trained or non-kennel trained.

About: What Sets Me Apart 🐾 I’ve spent years working closely with animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, reptiles, and more. 🧒🐶 For nearly a decade, I ran the summer camp at my local Humane Society, caring for animals daily and teaching kids how to do the same. 🐕🦺 I’ve raised dogs my whole life and once cared for seven huskies—from newborn pups to seniors. 😺 I have plenty of experience with cats, including shy ones, playful ones, and those who need extra patience. What sets me apart is my mix of hands-on experience, dependability, and a calm, respectful approach to each pet’s personality.

I make sure doors, gates, and anything hazardous are secure, and I take the time to build trust with each pet so they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. 🐾
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other large and small animals since I was 10.

Neighbors, friends and family have always relied on me anytime any day of the week to care for their furry friends. I am currently working with Rover full time so I will have time to play with your pets any time of the day with no worries that they will get the care they deserve. although I live in a apartment, I am more happy to take her for a friend for a long enjoyable walk or hike so they get the enrichment they need.

Most play time happens inside where there is a much lower risk of escape or overheating.

“I completely trust Madelyn to care for my dog Charlie. He loves her family and their dog Penny! Madelyn is great to communicate with and easy going. She kept me updated during Charlie’s stay and shared photos which allowed us to enjoy our trip with full confidence that our dog was well taken care of.”
“This was my first experience with Rover. We had a last minute opportunity to leave town for the weekend and unfortunately at a hotel and venue that were not pet friendly. Contacted Reymun on Thursday and he was able to take Sophie on Friday! We'd previously put her in a kennel once and it was clearly very stressful for her. While Reymun said he was open for long walks he also said he was cool with sitting on the couch watching TV. Sophie is older and sleeping through movies is her favorite pastime! We picked her up on Sunday relaxed and comfortable. Would recommend Reymun and if needed, I will contact him again!”
“Robert was fantastic with my pups. I had concerns about my 14 year old boy with weak hips but he did so well with Robert taking care of him. Robert sent me pictures every day and gave me daily reports that gave me peace of mind while I was away. I recommend Robert for an excellent boarding experience.”
“Richard was amazing with our Ginny girl! He did some great training with her and her recall has significantly improved. He took wonderful care of her and you could tell she was such a happy girl with him. Thank you Richard!”
“Sarah is amazing! She has taken Kaiser in twice now while we’ve been out of town and he has such a good time and well taken cared of. She consistently provides updates and pictures which is really nice too. I would highly recommend Sarah for watching your pup!”
“They took very good care of my dog! They sent me many videos/pictures of my dog! I felt very safe with leaving my dog there! I would definitely rebook if I could!”
“This was a last minute booking; Colette was very accommodating. She sent daily photos of Reggie; he likes posing for the camera. Reggie had a great time and we’re looking forward to doing it again.”

“Nilanie did a great job watching our dog, Lola, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent adorable photos everyday of our pup and provided consistent updates on how she was adjusting. Definitely recommend!”
“We left our puppy (well - almost a dog - 11 months) with Ain for 7 days. Ain took really good.care. Despite inclement weather - it rained near constantly for all the 7 days. Our pup has a lot of hair - Ain had to give him a bath twice. And she kept us constantly updated - sending us photos and messages. She is very calm, loving and caring!!”
“My 2 dogs looked like they had an absolute blast with Alicia, her fiancé and their dog Maddie! I got plenty of updates and pics of them throughout their stay and their adventures and fun. They got plenty of exercise and loving based on what their needs were. They made sure to do a meet n greet which was helpful to make sure their dog and mine would get along and Maddie was super sweet. Overall, absolutely will be using them again when I need a sitter again!”

“Grachel was very friendly and extremely reliable! I was super comfortable leaving Bella because of her knowledge and experience in caring for dogs. I'm pleased to say that Grachel treated my fur baby like her own and I have no doubt that she treats all her stays the same. Plus Grachel has the sweetest dog Lucy who got along well with Bella and kept her company during her stay, so she wasn't to lonely. I'll be using her services again in the future.”
