“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“Oreo loves Christina. She is absolutely fantastic! She treated our dog, Oreo like family. He was so happy and well-cared for. Oreo is a picky eater but Christina is so patient to him and always makes sure that he will eat his food. We received daily photos and updates which gave us peace of mind while away. Highly recommend!!”
“One week ago, I'd never thought of leaving my dogs with someone, but today I can whole-heartedly recommend it! Amelia and her lovely family made my Border Collie babies feel at-home and safe even when I was thousands of miles away. Her thoughtful attention-to-detail and frequent Pupdates (with photos!) made my withdrawal from them much easier (and I'm sure they were having so much fun with Daisy that they forgot to miss me :) 100 per cent recommend and will definitely book again next time I have to leave them in town! Thank you so much, Amelia, God Bless you and yours <3”
“Lisa was a great sitter! We got lots of pictures, videos and updates. Our dog had so much outdoor playtime and other dog friends to play with. This is a great house where he got lots of attention from everyone in the family. We will definitely Use for booking again. Thank you, Lisa!”
“We were very happy with Amy. Our dogs seemed to have a great time. Next day our one dog was moping around cause she missed the yard and her little friend. Amy was just great. She has a very sweet personality and loves your dog like her own two. We will use her services a lot in future days for day care and longer. I highly recommend her services.”
“Rebecca and Michael are pros. My dog came back better behaved and tired out in a good way after all the fun. I hope they let us board again. So very thankful!”
“Natalie was wonderful, a true dog lover, you can tell when animals "feel" an animal lover. Her children are as well and her Mom who helped. She was very communicative as well without any confusion. Very much appreciated! I would highly recommend!!”

“Denise went above and beyond when caring for my little poodle. She took care of her just like she would her own, and made sure she was at home and comfortable. I really enjoyed getting updates and pictures during her stay! Thank you again for the great care! 🙏🩷”
“Rachel did an amazing job looking after my dog over a 10-day vacation that I had. She was very communicative and supplied updates alongside pictures for the ease of any anxiety I would have leaving my baby in her care. She also asked if certain behaviors were normal or abnormal for my dog further allowing me to know she was really attentive to how he was behaving and what he needed. Would definitely book again!”

“Heather will be our go-to cat sitter from here on out. Right after moving to St. Augustine, we had a pre planned wedding in Europe for 2 weeks. Heather did everything we asked and so much more, even watering our plants and adding to the fish tank reservoir, which was beyond appreciated—our home has a lot of life in it! She sent photos of both of our babies each visit, gave a good summary of how they’re doing and how the visit went, and even swept up for us. Thank you, thank you, thank you. On the last day, one of our babies locked herself in the restroom, and as soon as I saw it on camera, I texted Heather and she was at the house within 15 minutes. Look no further—Heather is the best!!”
“5/5 – Absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish! 🌟 Molly was an absolute gem as our cat and house sitter. From the moment we met for the meet & greet, she came across as so professional, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — she instantly put our minds at ease. She asked all the right questions, took detailed notes, and made us feel completely confident leaving our home and our shy boy, Black Fury, in her hands. During the sit, she went above and beyond in every way. Black Fury (who normally hides from anyone new for days) warmed up to her beautifully — I still can’t quite believe it! We received lovely regular updates with little stories about their day, which meant the world to us while we were away. Our home was looked after with such care, everything was spotless, and it honestly felt like Molly was just another member of the household. We are so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy, kind, and capable. It was truly a pleasure having her in our home, and we would welcome her back with open arms in a heartbeat. We’re already looking forward to booking her again next time we travel! Thank you so much, Molly — you’re the best! 🐾🏡”
“Renee was once again awesome. My cat, Juice, is very comfortable with her and she’s gives all the right details when filling out the reports at the end of every visit. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
“It was my first time using Rover so I was nervous leaving Chester for a week. It was reassuring getting all the photos and updates and Sam was quick to respond. I could tell Chester was well taken care of and was in great hands! I would definitely use Sam again to watch Chester!”
“My smart lock was not working and Ariana contacted me immediately to figure out how to resolve the issue to ensure my dog was taken care of. She is so considerate and an excellent sitter.”
About: I have worked at a doggy boarding and daycare facility for eight years. I have been managing for three of those eight years. I have cared for numerous breeds and dogs of all ages. I do have a soft spot for elderly dogs, but do love walking and playing with younger, energetic dogs as well. As a result of my years of experience, I am capable of giving all forms of medication, making meals (dry, canned, homemade, raw, etc), and I have worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments. I have started this little business because I have seen how much happier pets are when they are cozy at home compared to a boarding facility, especially if they are prone to anxiety when they are away from home. I, myself, own a corgi named Clancy. He is a very happy little boy. I am off from my other job from Wednesday afternoon to Saturday. I have appointments every other Thursday from 11 to 1:30, but aside from that, I'm free. Walking and drop-ins work best for my schedule as they are the most flexible jobs offered here. I will walk your dogs wherever you feel comfortable. If they have a beloved route, I will keep them on it. During drop-ins, I will adhere to any instructions you have. At my place of work, I follow food and care instructions (that always vary) daily.
“Briana was super attentive with my cats, one of which requires daily SubQ fluids! She gave detailed notes for each visit, and plenty of pictures (my favorite part). My cats were well taken care of! I could not recommend her more.”
About: Through volunteer work with a cat rescue organization, I’ve provided hands-on care for stray and highly timid cats. Working with both rescue cats and my own has given me a strong understanding of cat behavior, routines, and body language. I’ve been around cats since I was a baby and currently have three of my own. I’ve also cared for cats with special needs who required daily oral medication, so I’m familiar with medication administration. Keeping litter boxes clean is second nature, and I pay close attention to routines, behavior changes, litter box habits, and all the small details that help keep cats healthy, comfortable, and stress-free.
About: I’ve volunteered several summers in row washing kennels and food bowls playing with the kittens and post them on social media to help get them adopted. I have two dogs of my own and have taken care of multiple animals at once. I can and will gladly work any day and I will care for your furry family as if they are my own. Your furry friends are safe in my care! I take my dog for regular walks and to the groomers I brush him daily and make sure he is comfortable in his harness and leash. I am able to effectively use commands that your dog is used to. And can give tips are effective ways of to teach commands and keeping them safe and happy.
About: I have been around cats my whole life. We had some as kids and as my own family has grown. I have helped with fostering. My kids and I know how to help and meet the needs of cats. We help with friends and family and even outdoor cats.
About: I provide calm, attentive and reliable care for dogs of all breeds, sizes and ages — including puppies, seniors and dogs who need a slower, more grounded presence. I currently care for five dogs of my own, all with different personalities and needs, so I’m very comfortable managing routines, walks, feeding schedules, medications and individual care. I pay close attention to a dog’s emotional state and adjust pace, structure and energy accordingly. My approach is steady and respectful. Dogs tend to settle quickly with me and many clients tell me their dogs are calmer and happier after our walks. I prioritize safety, communication and consistency and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to be flexible with scheduling. I plan my days to ensure dogs receive consistent attention, exercise, and care without rushing. I prioritize safety, clear routines, and calm handling at all times. I follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leashes, and pay close attention to each dog’s comfort, behavior, and surroundings, whether in my home or theirs.
About: Although I started as a dog person, I fell in love with cats when I started cat-sitting for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old. now, I have two cats that live with me (Oliver and Zelda) and another cat (Bailey) that lives with my best friend (we have shared custody). I’m an expert in cleaning litter boxes, feeding, tiring out cats with playtime, and administering medications (pills and topicals, not trained in injections). I have taught all three of my cats fetch so your furbaby may want to play when you get back home!
“Gillian is wonderful. I have used Gillian services 2x’s to drop in for my cat. Although my cat can never be found because he is so afraid of humans. Gillian drops in to give him some wet food & to make sure he is eating & drinking. I would definitely have Gillian look after my cat again.”

“Pepper went back a second time to visit her new friends. She was visibly excited to see them. I’m very happy to have found a place she is comfortable in. Thanks Lisa & Charlie. See you next time!”
“Rachel was a wonderful dog sitter for Rosie. My dog played all day with her dog and got a lot of exercise. She communicated with me throughout the day to give me updates about my dog. She made me feel comfortable having her as a person my dog will love to go see in the future visits”
“I am so grateful to have found Mariana to take care of my dog Bentley. She is a fantastic, caring and loving person and Bentley had a wonderful, fun, and safe time with Mariana. While I was out on vacation, Mariana took care of Bentley so professional and so sweet. I will leave Bentley again with Mariana without a doubt. Thank you.”

About: I have experience with small, medium, large, and XL dogs! I've experienced leash aggression dogs as well. With that being said I can also watch reptiles! I have my own cats, toffee hognose, zero-bearded dragons, and a leopard gecko. As someone who has their own pets, I know the importance of knowing that your fur baby is cared for in your absence. Currently, I am a grad student at USAHS enrolled in the OTD program. I have class Monday-Friday but am not gone for longer than 3-4 hours a day. After classes your pet will be with me for the rest of the day so we will have a ton of time to play! Your pet will never go anywhere unsupervised, he/she will always be taken care of as if they were my own, they will be walked every potty break, they will be the only dog in the home too. The only times I will be gone is for classes/labs. I will stick to the rover times you've set through the app to ensure you feel safe with each visit. I'm more than happy to send pictures and videos for updates as well.
About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands. I work from home and manage a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I structure my routine to accommodate pet needs first—whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I am available for weekday and weekend bookings, including repeat schedules. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”

“We had such a great experience! This was a pretty last-minute booking while we were visiting St. Augustine, and she was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with from the start. Clara was well cared for and happy when we picked her up, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out for the day. Communication was smooth, and we really appreciated her flexibility—especially when we ended up running late due to traffic. She was very understanding and kind about it, which meant a lot. We would absolutely trust her with Clara again and highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable, compassionate care!”
“Lindsay is an absolute blessing when it comes to pup sitting. She is great with communication and updates throughout the day and treats your pup like her own. I feel confident and at ease when my pup is in her care.”
“Katie was wonderful with Bella! She took her on a walk, played with her, made sure she stayed entertained, and even gave her some nap time. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while Bella was in her care. Katie is so friendly, personable, and clearly loves what she does. Bella had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Katie’s care. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💕”

About: I've had pets, both cats and dogs for most of my life. For the last ten years, I've had a Great Pyrenees mix and her cat sister, and also have a spunky four year old male cat. All are incredibly friendly and social, and used to friends and family bringing their pets over all the time. I have a relatively large, two story, 4BR with office house with a fenced in yard in a private neighborhood located adjacent to Treaty Park and the dog park there. My dog is very social and has been going to dog parks regularly since she was a puppy with zero incidents. I work from home and am more than happy to have more furrballs running around the house, plus, my dog would love the company! Thanks! I have a fenced in yard in a private neighborhood with walking paths and no main road nearby, it is also directly adjacent to a large park with a dog park.
“Christina was amazing with Max! He was so happy, relaxed, and felt completely at home with her. It’s clear she truly cares for the fur babies she looks after, and Max was comfortable from the very start. I’d highly recommend Christina to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy.”

About: I’m dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I make it a priority to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they always have peace of mind while away. I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and genuinely cared for instead of treating them like “just another booking.” I’m also comfortable caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, including: * Puppies who need patience, consistency, potty breaks, and structure * Senior pets who may need slower walks, extra comfort, medication reminders, or gentle care * Shy or anxious pets who need time, calm energy, and reassurance * Active dogs who benefit from playtime, walks, and engagement I just moved from New Jersey to St. Augustine.

“I cannot speak highly enough about the fantastic dog walking service provided by William for my beloved Coco. As a dog owner, finding a reliable and caring walker is crucial, and William has exceeded all expectations!! From day one, William has been incredibly dependable. He has never missed a scheduled walk and always arrives on time, rain or shine. Knowing that Coco is in good hands gives me great peace of mind while I'm at work or school. Communication with William is seamless. He is always responsive to messages, and he proactively updates me on Coco's walks. I appreciate the occasional photos he sends – they brighten up my day and allow me to see Coco enjoying her time with him :) Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend William as a dog walker for any fur parent. His genuine love for dogs, combined with his professionalism and reliability, makes him an outstanding choice. Coco is in great hands with William, and I am grateful to have him as a trusted dog walker. Thank you, William, for providing such exceptional care and love to Coco on her walks!”

About: Growing up, I've always had animals in the house. Cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs, bearded dragons— you name it. I've done pet setting during high school, and now that I'm going to college soon, I'd love to help take care of people's pets again! I have the most experience working with cats and dogs, as I have 4 cats and recently had an elder dog for many years. I've volunteered at the humane society for fostering, so I can take care of kittens as well if needed. I have a very open schedule since I just recently graduated. I'm available to come over and check on pets between 9am-9pm any day of the week. I have open availability for house sitting as well, but for more info please feel free to contact me! I always make sure the pets are healthy and happy whenever I see them. I can clean up any messes or accidents they may have made, and I can give medicine in their food or orally. If your pet is a little skittish at first, it's not a problem! I'll let them come to me at their own pace so they won't get scared, and I'll be sure to offer plenty of treats as well.
About: As an animal lover and pet owner myself, I have had the joy of caring for cats and dogs for many years. I have experience in feeding, walking, and caring for young and old pets, and in doing so I have earned the trust in neighbors, friends, and family. I am excited to bring the same care to you and your pets! I am currently staying at home and caring for my son, so my schedule is pretty open for the time of day that is needed. I care for pets by checking up on them for whatever is needed. If they need to be walked, checked on, or in need of some love. I love animals and would do anything that they need to thrive!
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember, and wouldn’t have it any other way. They are the charm of any home!! I would be honored to watch your pet. I currently work from home and have three dogs myself. All very loved and get along great with other animals, including cats!! I am home all day every day and the dogs thrive when we have a guest pet. My house is set up to where I can divide the animals and they’d still be comfortable. I also have a very large 2 acre lot that is completely fenced in.
About: I've been around animals my whole life, and love them dearly. I watch out for them like they are my own kids. I'm trustworthy and hard-working. I've lived with cats, hamsters, horses, a Golden Retriever, a Dalmatian (with pups!), and several mixed breed and smaller dogs throughout the years; and am looking forward to calling your little BFF a friend of mine too! I am a 42 year old mother of three. My eldest daughter is 22, my son is 17, and my youngest daughter is 1 and a half. I've been doing Rover on the side for several years now, and have met all kinds of pets. I'm always glad to be able to help families out while they're away by taking care of their dear furry friends. Originally from Middle Tennessee, my family and I recently moved to St Augustine, Florida, and are still trying to get established. Love the area very much, and hope to spend the rest of our lives here. I'm currently only doing drop-in visits for dogs as I had fleas brought in a couple of times that were passed onto other dogs. I'm sorry that I can't offer that service anymore, but I don't want to go through that again. I am also glad to keep (or do drop-in visits) for cats, rodents, and birds for a lower rate...also drop-ins for livestock, with the rate depending on the job. Dinosaurs are a little extra ;o) I just had a new baby and am on a leave of absence from my job with Metro Schools. I am available most any time for drop-in visits and walks. I will follow your instructions for their feeding and/or care and take the same precautions for their safety as I would take with my own pets.
“I used Adrienne when i was injured and couldnt take my pup for a walk. She's great with my little dog who gets separation anxiety when he leaves for his walks.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for my own German Shepherd, along with my Goldendoodle. Through owning and caring for large, high-energy dogs, I've developed a strong understanding of the exercise, structure, patience, and attention they need to thrive. I'm also a Rover customer myself. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and communicative when leaving your pets in someone else's care. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I have experience with large dog breeds, high-energy dogs, puppies, and multi-dog households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and following specific care instructions to help maintain your pet's normal routine. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care during walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays. My goal is always to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while giving you peace of mind when you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to getting to know your furry family members! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As I currently work from home and I’m an dog owner, I'm used to structuring my day around walks, exercise, feeding schedules, playtime, and providing consistent care and attention. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets fits naturally into my lifestyle. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priorities are safety, consistency, and making your pet feel comfortable while you're away. I take the time to learn your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the structure they're used to. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and home. I treat every home with respect, keep pets securely leashed or contained as instructed, and pay close attention to their behavior and well-being. I'm experienced with large and high-energy dogs and understand the importance of safe handling, exercise, and supervision. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay informed and have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire visit or stay.
About: I am a physical therapy student looking to make alittle money during this time. I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I am a proud cat and dog mom of a 6-year-old black lab that I have raised since she was a puppy and a 3-year-old cat. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I end up with more time on my hands than I know what to do with. This is great because I can then play and walk your fur babies when they need it. I enjoy walking my dog outside and when my cat likes to go on walks he tend to join as well. I make sure that harnesses or collars are appropriately put on to ensure safe and fun walking. If you are in need of a bath for your dog, I am available to do that as well. I am not a professional, but I have experience in bathing and drying, labs, boykin spinals, and labrodoodles. I currently have my own professional pet drying machine as well for quicker drying.
About: I have cared for pets since birth coming from an animal loving family. It is my upmost belief that our furry friends are apart of our family so they deserve to be treated with the upmost love and care. I am an 8.5 year United States Navy veteran. I set aside time daily to have the opportunity to care for pets in need of care. I currently do not have any other pets in home so I am destined to have my full undivided focus on your extended family member/ members.
About: I've been an animal lover ever since I was a kid, so much so that I wanted to be a vet at the age of 5. I grew up with animals in the house (dogs, cats, and fish) and started taking care of them as soon as I was old enough. aside from nannying, my first job was dog walking/sitting and to this day it is still something I enjoy doing. I have 15+ years of experience in dog walking, feeding, safety, and administering medication (pills and topicals, not trained in injections). I love all breeds and am a highly active individual so I hope your furbaby is ready to play! My schedule is mostly open. I’m unavailable on weekdays from 9 am to 1 pm but could potentially squeeze in a quick visit from 8:30-9 if needed. My weekday afternoons and evenings are mostly open. Weekends are usually pretty open as well! I do travel about once a month, but I will be sure to reach out ahead of time and/or block it out in the app. Your pet's safety is my top priority while they’re in my care and I will treat them as if they are my own. that being said, they will have my full attention throughout our visit. in addition, I love taking pictures of the animals I care for so I will be sending updates!

“Tracy is a wonderful caretaker. This was Rosie’s first time with her. Tracy really focused on my dog, and spent time with her to make sure was happy and having fun. She left me a lot of updates to reassure me throughout the day. I know my dog was well taken care of and had fun at her home.”
“One week ago, I'd never thought of leaving my dogs with someone, but today I can whole-heartedly recommend it! Amelia and her lovely family made my Border Collie babies feel at-home and safe even when I was thousands of miles away. Her thoughtful attention-to-detail and frequent Pupdates (with photos!) made my withdrawal from them much easier (and I'm sure they were having so much fun with Daisy that they forgot to miss me :) 100 per cent recommend and will definitely book again next time I have to leave them in town! Thank you so much, Amelia, God Bless you and yours <3”

“Rachel did an amazing job looking after my dog over a 10-day vacation that I had. She was very communicative and supplied updates alongside pictures for the ease of any anxiety I would have leaving my baby in her care. She also asked if certain behaviors were normal or abnormal for my dog further allowing me to know she was really attentive to how he was behaving and what he needed. Would definitely book again!”
“I would love to say she was horrible so no one books her when I need her…lol. But the truth is; she is absolutely amazing. Took such good care of my furbaby. Nellie is great with communication too and sent me picture updates which I really appreciated. Since this was my first time leaving my pup with someone. I am absolutely only using her is possible.”
About: I’ve had dogs all of my life and started professionally pet sitting about 10 years ago when I retired. I have a fenced yard and can also walk your dogs throughout in my neighborhood if it’s under 50 lbs (for safety reasons). I’m 75 and am home during the day to cuddle your furry babies! Most days, I’ll go out to run errands or go to the gym. I like to take a walk in the morning by myself around my neighborhood. I’m at home the rest of the day usually unless I have an appointment. I have a fenced backyard and a screened in porch. I don’t require a crate for your dog or cat as long as they are potty trained.
“Roseanna takes amazing care of our fur babies! She keeps us updated with messages and photos and makes sure they stay active and engaged. When we got home, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for, which says it all. We had total peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!”
“Lisa Ann was a wonderful vacation mom to Kali. She did everything as promiced and understood all our concerns with Kali and big dogs. The daily Kali pictures showed she was having a good, safe time. I look forward to booking again in Lisa Ann in the future.”
