“Betsy was very loving with my dog, Lucy! She communicated with me the entire time I was away, which I really appreciated! Her dog Frida, is now Lucy's new best friend. Betsy has a nice fenced backyard that the dogs were able to run and play out there. She also sent me picture updates and I could tell that Lucy felt right at home. I HIGHLY recommend Betsy and Frida as your next Rover option!”
“Stephanie and Elizabeth B. have been sitting for our Yorker mix for several years! I can’t say enough good things about their loving care they consistently provide for him!! They are very attentive to his routine, medications, and diet. They are great communicators and send frequent photos and videos when we are gone for vacations. It is such a relief to not worry about our special little one! Plus he is always so super excited every time he sees them ! I highly recommend Stephanie and Elizabeth for your precious pets care☺️”
“Eve was great with our pittie! He can be a nervous guy, but she was patient with him and he came home happy and healthy. Eve also noticed some hot spots on his feet and gave me a recommendation on how to treat them - truly above and beyond what we expected :)”
“Michelle is wonderful. My dogs were very well cared for during their stay with her. She is a great communicator and a very caring sitter. My dogs and I look forward to benefiting from her generosity in the future.”
“Jewel was so kind and detailed taking all the info I had for Luna since she is Diabetic and on special diet. Has a fenced in yard and walks the dogs. She brought out her two precious little princesses to meet Luna and they were so adorable. Her detailed text with pics of Luna’s daily events made my day. Thank you so much Jewel. I can see Luna was super relaxed since picking her up and her usual cry whining just didn't happen. It usually takes her three days to get chill again when I leave her. Thank you and your pups for her great stay away from home. 💖 You were the perfect pick for Luna.”
“I think Sammie will hope we go on vacation more often! He was so well taken care of- I felt he was treated like part of the family. Plus, he had the bonus of a playmate to spend his days with. It certainly made our time away more enjoyable, since we didn't worry about him. Thank you so much for the great attention and care. We will absolutely request you again!”
“I am so grateful for Elisa and the amazing care she gave our dog! She’s reliable, kind, and clearly love animals. Our pup was happy, safe, and well-loved. We’d definitely trust them again and highly recommend their services!”
“Lisbeth is amazing! She took care of my two elderly cats-one of which is insulin dependent- neither of them have ever been boarded before. They took to her quickly and without issues. She made sure to give us daily updates and pictures too. We will be bringing them back to her in the future when needed.”
“Eddy had the best time with Viktoryia and her family! I received daily updates and pictures of Eddy which was awesome! I will definitely be booking with Viktoryia again when we travel!”
“This was my second time using Abigail to care for Nina, and once again she did a wonderful job. She is reliable, communicative, and very attentive to Nina’s routine and care needs. I really appreciate the updates she provides and the extra care she takes to make sure Nina is comfortable while I’m away. Nina clearly feels comfortable with her, which means a lot to me. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Nina is in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Abigail and will gladly continue using her in the future.”
“Beth was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of Thor and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him and treated him like part of her own family. Thor came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We truly appreciate her kindness, reliability, and excellent communication. We would be delighted to book with Beth again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Kym & Glen took such great care of my Frankie! They both have great personalities and communicated well with me during my dogs stay. I could hardly get Frankie to come back home with me he had so much fun!”
“Karlee was very easy to work with and great at communicating. My pup felt comfortable with her right away and I could tell by her other pup that she was good with dogs and knew what he needed. She sent me pictures and videos at least once a day making me feel very secure. I will def book again!”
“We could not be happier with the treatment Skipper received from Olga. She sent us daily pix and he looked so happy. When we picked him up he was clean and frisky. We will use Olga absolutely.”
“Audrey and Karson were very kind and welcoming to our Golden girl and excellent with prompt communication. They sent regular photos of her which really helped a lot to know she was doing well with them. Overall, it was an excellent experience w and made it easier for us to be apart from her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her board with them again!”
“They took very good care of our two dogs. We were kept updated on how they were doing. The fenced in backyard was great for the dogs as they normally don’t get to run around. Definitely will rebook for future times.”
“Audrey and Joseph are always the first place I check when I need a sitter! They do a great job of making my pup feel welcome and send daily photos. Trust them 100% with my fur baby.”

“Stacey was wonderful, she was willing to work with our needy kitties. She put in so much effort to make sure she was able to do my cats asthma inhaler. Absolutely would recommend Stacey, especially if you have specific needs for your pets!”
“Andie was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond while watching my two kitties. I could not be more grateful and happy that I booked with her, one thousand percent recommend!!!”
“Caroline was the best cat sitter for our elderly cat!! She was so responsive, kind, and sent constant updates throughout the day. I could tell from the photos that our cat, who is normally pretty shy, was super thrilled to see her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I’ve always had dogs, whether it was our family dog or taking care of our neighbors and friends, etc. I have taken my dog to many training classes, gaining the knowledge and learning the proper ways to walk, treat, and discipline dogs. I have such a huge heart when it comes to dogs and I’m hoping I can share the love and get the honor to walk dogs in my area and give them the extra love that they deserve! I currently work from home, so as long as I am aware in advance, I can walk dogs at any hour of the day! I’m an early riser so an early morning walk is always available on my schedule:) Since I’ve owned dogs for so long, I am aware of the safety precautions that come with the heat, how other dogs can be aggressive, and the safety that comes with taking care of them.
About: I’ve raised cats since I can literally remember. I grew up in the country, so there were a lot of barn cats around the property, and I remember just always being drawn to the cats. Nothing has changed as now I have 2 of my own little angel girls being spoiled and running my home. Cats have such unique personalities and their trust means SO much since they are not as easy to win over as dogs.
About: I am patient, dependable, and genuinely love working with dogs. I’ve volunteered many times at an animal shelter caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors dogs. I’ve also spend years walking and caring for my own dogs as well as dogs for my family and friends. I provide safe, great communication, and photo updates so you feel confident your dog is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally in my routine. As a college student with a part time job, I have a flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, weekends, holidays, and even early mornings or late evenings. I’m very active, so dog walks are something I genuinely enjoy. I have reliable transportation, accept both regular and one time bookings, and can often accommodate same day request. Whether it’s a long walk, a rainy day, or extra playtime, I’m happy to give your dog the care and attention they deserve. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect as my own. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications (with food), and any special instructions. Before I leave, I’ll make sure your dog is comfortable, has fresh water, and everything is secure. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Since I was little I have always had pets. Started with two dogs, then bunny rabbits, cats, and more dogs! Around 2012 is when we were down to 1 dog and 1 rabbit and decided we were going to work with a local shelter and be foster parents to make sure these pups found a great home and were trained and nourished before the went. We have fostered from puppies to a few years old of all different kinds of dogs. With having pets all my life and my sister being a vet to give me advice, I feel that I am capable of being a reliable caregiver to your pets as well! I currently just moved to Florida to complete my degree in physician assistant studies. This is will be the most difficult thing I have ever done and will not have time for a full time job. Being able to provide times that I am available is extremely convenient for my grueling schedule of graduate school. I am available all week days just about until school starts and I get a routine down. I think its a great idea to take dogs on as many walks as much as possible to socialize when they can. Taking them for walks or even to a park/fenced in field is a great way I like to take care of my pup. All I ask is that you let me know if they are good with other animals.
About: The Universe Cat Distribution System gave my Maine Coon when she was 4 years old. She is 13 now. She is the master of RBF and is affectionately known as KittyB***Cakes by friends and family. I grew up with dogs but when she came into my life, I discovered how much I needed continuous (sometimes forced) kitty snuggles and realized that the connection made with a cat is one of respect and love, not the up the butt attention seeking love that dogs give. I love to spend time staring at the unseen monsters in the corners of the room with them, just as much as I love watching the kamikaze flying kitty kicks fueled by catnip and zoomies. Even the most scaredycat friends are best friends. Ill make sure that your cat is well cared for!
About: If you have a puppy or a dog that needs a little extra help getting down the basics of sit, wait, leave it, come, or has trouble walking on the leash; i am your doggy savior! I do all my walks using the lose leash method, meaning the dog is more in "heel" then pulling or trailing behind. I love walking on hiking paths and trails as well as city and community walks. I always bring treats, water, and poop bags on my walks! I have an Australian labradoodle, Kingsley who is my service dog and loves other dogs! If you're interested in socializing your pup can have a playdate, he is a great friend. I can fully handle dogs of all sizes and ages and will follow all instructions left by you. I am trustworthy, reliable, and time and have a car, so I will be able to get to you, no problem. I work from home and love animals! Happy to play, train, and walk dogs. I have been pet sitting for 11 years and am very honest and loyal. I care for pets in clients home, walk, playtime, and offer puppy training. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with animal and supporting families. Please reach out if this seems to be a good fit :)
“Julie was fabulous. She dropped in to check on my kitty. Made sure she was good and fed. She also sent me pic. She even brought in our front door deliveries. Definitely recommend Julie.”
“Elisa met my expectations and more! We did an meet and greet and right off the bat I knew she was the right one. My cats have a new friend and so do I! Thank you for the love you gave to them!”
About: I have had dogs the entirety of my life, so I grew up knowing how to care for animals. I have had experiences with a variety of animals and breeds. I am currently a part time college student with a relatively flexible schedule. I am often available in the middle of the day and evenings. I prioritize building trust, so my time with pets and respect there personal space. I enjoy running around and playing with higher energy pets but I get along with any energetic level. I know how to maintain obedience without being harsh, and I make sure to carefully follow what the owners say.
“We brought our 4 month old Sharpei with us on vacation and wanted to spend the day at an amusement park with our human kids. We couldn’t leave him alone all day, but luckily we found Andrea on Rover.”
About: I have a natural understanding for animals! I have my whole life. This is the first time in a long time I have been without a pet. My wife and I currently co host airbnb properties which allows us to have a flexible schedule within reason. I also drive uber and lyft which brings me all over Sarasota. We treat everyone's pet and home as if it were our own. Your pet will become part of our family and feel loved just as if you never left.

“Betsy is awesome. Thank you so much for watching Zoey so we could spend a couple days at the beach, without worrying if we left her alone at our rental! Highly recommend. A++++”
“SO MANY GOOD THINGS I COULD SAY!!! My boyfriend and I look at our two dogs, Hope (almost 2) and Zeus (3 months), like they are children. Our girl Hope can be an escape artist at times and is very active, so we have a collar for her with gps and tracking of her steps. With that being said, in the past I have not re-used some people off rover because Hope simply would not move the entire time!!! At Donnas, Hope and Zeus both ran and ran (after all I could tell). And had an absolute blast. Her yard is fenced in so no dog could get out, even our little lunatics. She knows so much about dogs I have never felt so confident with leaving our babies with someone before. Hope and Zeus will be back!! Truly a gem!”
“Michelle is super nice. We felt comfortable leaving Mazy in her care. Mazy had a day of fun I know this because she has been sleeping for 3 hours since we picked her up. Would definitely use her again”
“Adela was easy to work with and made our dog, Nala, very comfortable. Nala has separation anxiety and is usually very wound up and hyper when we pick her up from a sitter. This wasn't the case after her time with Adela. She was calm and didn't seem stressed at all. Nala didn't demonstrate any separation anxiety the second day we left her with Adela, which is uncommon for her, even with people she knows and likes.”
About: My hubby and I are home and pet sitters for folks on LBK and surrounding areas. We LOVE some pups to play/spend time with when sitting pet-friendly condos and are also able to come stay with your pet in your home. We will play inside and outside, go for walks, use their family/familiar commands, snacks, food, and naps. Will follow any needed structure requested; example: if you do not allow your dog on furniture, I will follow suit. I offer overnight stays as well as daytime care, a la cart services as needed. I am currently at home each day so have plenty of time to play with and care for pups. I would enjoy the companionship myself as well! We are home and pet sitters and travel often. Although we tend to travel to the same places (clients) each year, our boarding availability depends on the condo we are sitting at the time and it's pet rules. If I cannot board your pup in at my place, I can usually come to you or provide daily drop-ins.
“Our miniature dachshund "Monty" went to Olga for daycare a couple of times. He liked her very much and was well cared for by Olga and her family. Unfortunately we aren't able to book her anymore cause we just moved. We wish Olga and her family the very best.”
“Charlie awas very responsive, and accommodating. His wife took Halo for a walk as soon as we arrived. Charlie sent pictures and updates on Halo. I would definitely recommend them.”
“I believe our boys have found their new best friend! We have a couple of rescues and one of them is high energy, high anxiety. We really needed someone who could help him become more comfortable around other dogs—needed lots of patience! Tara is an answer to a prayer! We had two meet and greets with her dog, and we just picked them up from their first day of daycare. They did great and we are so happy to recommend Tara!”
About: I have loved animals my entire life and have been helping care for pets since I was young. I am comfortable feeding, walking, playing with, and providing basic care for both dogs and cats. I am dependable and committed to keeping pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and will follow all instructions carefully. I also have experience administering oral medications and insulin injections to pets, making me comfortable caring for animals with special medical needs. As a responsible college student pursuing a career in healthcare, I am determined to ensure that every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I provide regular updates and will treat your pets like my own. I'm a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and of course playtime. I'll make sure your baby will receive exactly what they need while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will carefully follow your pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special instructions or requests you provide (even if they’re a bit strange 😁). I will always make sure your babies have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of love and attention. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you know your baby is happy and well cared for.
“Gina was amazing with my pup nova. Her home was so cozy and clean. She was so well taken care of and had plenty of toys to play with. Her doodles were also the best companion for my nova to play with. Definitely will book with again!”
“Anu is fantastic! Taz loves seeing her and playing with Izzy. She keeps us informed of how Taz is doing, sends a few pictures and we feel very comfortable leaving Taz with her. Taz has separation anxiety, but has displayed none of it when he goes with Anu. Very happy and have booked Anu several times in the coming weeks.”
“I contacted Justin on the same day that I was in need of his doggie daycare services. Justin was wonderful with my baby Cargo. He was extremely patient with me. He met every need that Cargo needed as well as taking care of all my requests or concerns. He brought cargo to the dog park twice and sent me pictures. If and when I go back to Longboat Key, Florida I will contact Justin to take care of my Cargo again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl. I simply adore pets of any kind. If given the chance with your fur baby, I will treat them like my own. I currently live on the island of Longboat Key full time so this makes it perfect for individuals who work or are snowbirds and need a sitter only during certain months. I have a fully fenced in property and love to be outside and having fun with your pet. I also travel to your home too, if needed.
“There are no words to express our gratitude. We are not from the area, were on a weekend getaway and requested pet sitting last minute. Hadassah was very flexible and accommodating. She picked up and dropped off our dog per our requests. She even gave him a bath. Thanks to Hadassah we were able to enjoy our weekend!”
About: Experienced pet sitter. Quiet home so that your pet will feel comfortable. I am home most days so they can also won’t be alone and get 100% attention.

“We left our puppy for the first time with Paul. We were put at ease as he sent us lots of pictures to see how her day was going. Your dog will have great care! We highly recommend him for your dog!”
About: I have provided outstanding pet care for over 25 years here in Florida as well as my home state of Maine. I have cared for birds, cats and dogs since I was a small child. I'm currently a dog Mom to a 5 year old miniature poodle. While I am an experienced dog sitter of all sizes, "Gracie" would prefer only small breeds in our home. Your pets needs are our top priority. Frequent potty breaks, meals and playtime are provided frequently. In the event I need to leave for brief periods, I have access to home surveillance on my smartphone. I reside in a safe neighborhood. My home is a one story single family home with a 4 Ft fenced in backyard. Dogs are never outside without supervision. Gracie, my poodle pup, loves chasing sticks and sunbathing. She would love to have a buddy to enjoy her favorite activities with. She loves all dogs but prefers those her own size. Ideally, 10-25 pounds. I utilize Arlo and Wyze, security apps, to monitor safety when I need to be away from home for short periods of time.

About: Since I can remember as a little girl, I’ve always had a passion & drive to take care of animals and really interact & get to know them.

Looking to try to get into this full time, but anything dealing with animals is my focus! My schedule is very open right now and i’m open to anytimes!

Anything you or your pet needs, please let me know and I definitely am so willing to make it happen! I care that your pet is comfortable and happy with me!!
“I really can’t say enough great things about Adela. My puppy Olive is my whole entire heart and I was initially very nervous to trust someone with her in any capacity. However, from my first interaction with Adela, I was immediately put at ease. She is incredibly kind, professional, reliable and not to mention Olive adores her. Can not recommend her more!”

About: I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, I always had at least two dogs in the house with me. My parents always instilled never ending love for the family pets into me and nothing make me more comfortable than a furry friend by my side. I also spent some time working for a dog boarding facility in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. While loving every minute of it, I would like to pursue that feeling again by working for Rover and taking excellent care of your furry friend. I work full-time at a local high school as a coach. My schedule is open in various slots in the day for dog care, and my job allows me to take care of any tasks I need to throughout the day as long as my work is not affected. I am usually off work by 5:30 pm and live just minutes away from work. I also do not work on weekends, so those days are full of opportunity. In your home, I will make sure the pets are safe and getting as much love, attention, and playtime as they deserve! When on walks, I will ensure they are a safe distance from vehicles and that they are cleaned up after.
About: I have experience working with elderly and sick dogs so I am used to administering medicine. I had two dogs before I moved out of my parents a teacup chihuahua and a mutt named buddy. Felipe is 13 and buddy is 6. I have experience working at a dog shelter in San Diego California when I was 13-14. I am open to all breeds and all sizes. Both of my dogs were from the spca so I’m used to untrained pups. I will treat your dog like they are my own. Trips to the dog park regularly if boarding and regular walks and attention. I am a piercer at a tattoo shop and my partner is a tattoo artist, we have revolving schedules. Usually the pup would only be left alone 1-2 hours at a time, when i go to work and he comes home right after i leave. We are both animal lovers so being on rover is a nice way from preventing us from getting our own dog. I do stay in apartment but we make sure to go on regular walks around the neighborhood. There is a small fenced in area i like to take them too as well.
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have 3. I have experience with small and big dogs, ranging from a yorkie to a golden retriever.

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority! I make sure your pets are always supervised, kept in a safe and clean environment, and cared for according to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable. I will gladly send pictures throughout the day if you want updates and see your pets!

You can be certain that contributing to the well-being of your furry companion is truly a passion of mine. I’m currently working part-time very close to my home, so I am available every morning, most days, & every evening for walks. Boarding at my home is available throughout the week & on the weekends. I have a big fenced in yard with plenty of room to play with my friendly doggo, Ellie. I am able to crate your pup if needed. My home provides lots of open space, a nice screened in Florida room, and multiple spots for sun-soaked naps! We are located within 15 minutes of SRQ Sarasota Bradenton airport.

About: Hello! My name is Bernadette. I am a 23 year old college student. Growing up, (even though my parents didn't appreciate it) I was the girl who would always bring home strays. I would either some how persuade my parents to keep the dog I found or would help place the dog into a nice loving home. Ever since I could remember, my family would have several dogs at a time... So now caring for them is second nature. When I first started attending college I would always find myself puppysitting/dogsitting for several of my friends whenever they went out of town for few days. Then, when I heard about this app, I thought what better way to utilize and expand on my care for animals! To me dogs aren't just pets, they are family. I am a fellow dog lover and would love to take care of your fur babies. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to inquire further. Thank you and I look forward to taking care of your best friend!
About: Hello - my name is Clay. I am currently a doctorate student. I have taken care of dogs, all breeds and sizes, for well over a decade. I have taken care of sick babies who are on strict diets and medication and vitamin regimens. I also have experience administering fluids. I’d love to care for your babies next! (No cats) I have fairly open availability. I am currently only working on my doctorate degree. I am easily able to pause on those things and come take care of your baby, or do my schoolwork while house sitting. I only care for babies at the client’s house. I give lots of potty breaks and treats. If there is no yard or park, I enjoy taking long walks with your pup. No doubt they will be well cared for!
“Alexa was wonderful! Not only was she accommodating with a last minute same day walk, but followed all instructions well and cared for my pup perfectly! Will absolutely be a return client”
About: I was raised in a family full of animals growing up, and was taught how to take care of and train our dogs since I was a child. I have walked 350+ dogs and have a 5 star rating on other dog walking apps. Having been around dogs my whole life, I realize that every dog is different, and each need their own unique care and attention so they can be mentally and physically happy and healthy. I will make sure your pup is loved as if he/she were my own, and they will have a blast too! I love taking tons of photos and videos, and love to keep you posted on how your pup is doing during their stay/walk. Looking forward to working with you.
About: I have a natural understanding for animals! I have my whole life. This is the first time in a long time I have been without a pet. My wife and I currently co host airbnb properties which allows us to have a flexible schedule within reason. I also drive uber and lyft which brings me all over Sarasota. We treat everyone's pet and home as if it were our own. Your pet will become part of our family and feel loved just as if you never left.
“So fortunate to have found Erica! She is clearly a dog lover and we knew our Lila was in good hands the minute we met her. If the need arises we'll reach Erica's way without hesitation.”
About: If you have a puppy or a dog that needs a little extra help getting down the basics of sit, wait, leave it, come, or has trouble walking on the leash; i am your doggy savior! I do all my walks using the lose leash method, meaning the dog is more in "heel" then pulling or trailing behind. I love walking on hiking paths and trails as well as city and community walks. I always bring treats, water, and poop bags on my walks! I have an Australian labradoodle, Kingsley who is my service dog and loves other dogs! If you're interested in socializing your pup can have a playdate, he is a great friend. I can fully handle dogs of all sizes and ages and will follow all instructions left by you. I am trustworthy, reliable, and time and have a car, so I will be able to get to you, no problem. I work from home and love animals! Happy to play, train, and walk dogs. I have been pet sitting for 11 years and am very honest and loyal. I care for pets in clients home, walk, playtime, and offer puppy training. I thoroughly enjoy connecting with animal and supporting families. Please reach out if this seems to be a good fit :)

“Eve was great with our pittie! He can be a nervous guy, but she was patient with him and he came home happy and healthy. Eve also noticed some hot spots on his feet and gave me a recommendation on how to treat them - truly above and beyond what we expected :)”
“Kym & Glen took such great care of my Frankie! They both have great personalities and communicated well with me during my dogs stay. I could hardly get Frankie to come back home with me he had so much fun!”
“Audrey and Karson were very kind and welcoming to our Golden girl and excellent with prompt communication. They sent regular photos of her which really helped a lot to know she was doing well with them. Overall, it was an excellent experience w and made it easier for us to be apart from her. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her board with them again!”
“They took very good care of our two dogs. We were kept updated on how they were doing. The fenced in backyard was great for the dogs as they normally don’t get to run around. Definitely will rebook for future times.”
“We LOVED how Danielle took care of our Josie. I think Josie loved her, too! We got several notes each day, with pics and an occasional video. It was clear that Josie was truly enjoying her stay. Huge thanks go to Danielle for taking on our 75 pound, energetic lab. High recommendations for her - but leave room on her calendar for future Josie visits.”
“Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.”
“Charlie is the absolute best!! My Piper was right at home and I got so many updates and photos. He was flexible and played with her so much She came back home nice and tired. The best feeling after traveling. Highly recommend Charlie!”

Her whole family was involved in taking care of her making her stay feel like home. Mikayla is definitely going to be my go to sitter!!”
“Terrific care and love generatedfrom Tracy to Millie. Plays ball and takes walks with Millie on a daily basis. She asked for permission to take for car rides and trips, that Millie thoroughly enjoys, and I enthusiastically approved. She relieved the apprehension I had about leaving, enabling me to enjoy my vacation.”
