“Birdie had a great stay with Aura and her family. I appreciated the updates and photos. I was happy to see my energetic pup running around having fun with the other dogs. I will definitely rebook. Thank you!”
“Sarah is a kind and reliable sitter. She was easy to contact and communicate with, and most importantly, she cared for my elder dog as if her own. I will definitely contact Sarah for future pup sitting.”
“Marina has been amazing! We were looking for a pet sitter for the night, for a spur of the moment stay-I was not expecting to have any luck but Marina stepped up and agreed and what a blessing for us! She has been great sending updates and pictures, and our dog Jeff has been the happiest looking boy in all the pics! We will definitely rebook next time we head this way! Thank you again Marina!”
“Dani was amazing! She had everything already set up to welcome little Blueberry into her home. She was sweet and kind. Blueberry was instantly right at home. Dani took great care of her and sent pictures every day. I will definitely be leaving Blueberry with Dani again when I go out of town!”
“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.”
“I’ve boarded Pablo twice here and it’s been a pleasant experience both times. Communication is great, she sends me pictures and videos of Pablo and she gave him a bath as well which I really appreciated.”
“She was a great last minute sitter! We traveled to Florida with our dog and he didn’t adjust well to the hotel, so she kept my dog while we went to a concert. She responds quickly, and her family is great! She has a loving dog of her own and the dogs had a great time playing!”
“Amelia is great! This is our first time using Rover and based on her reviews, we went with her. We are so glad we met her! She was amazing with Jojo, he is very hyper (we are working on it), and she was so patient and helpful. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and it shows in her care. We will definitely be using her again!!! Thank you Amelia!”
“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!!”
“My dog had a nice overnight stay while I was in town doing adult things I couldn’t take my dog with me to while on a road trip. They have a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in and they also sent me pics. I can tell they truly love dogs. Highly recommend.”
“She sent videos of the dogs getting along with her dog several times. I was very nervous because my doodles are rescues. Lucia likes other dogs. Rosie not so much. My dogs are rescues that were bred. They tend to reject males at a point which stops their use to breed. Stephanie knew this and eased my mind. My dogs love her and her family. It was a perfect fit!”
“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!”
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.
“Laura was great! She was flexible when my flight was rerouted and I was delayed. She sent photos daily and she and her family clearly loved my dog. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Mariana was so kind and loving to my dog. She has knowledge about caring for senior dogs and it shows. She updated me everyday and I would love to have her take care of my dog anytime.”
About: Hello, I have been a dog sitter for over 10 years. I understand that it can be scary to your fur baby to be away from home or with someone they may not know well. I'm retired so I can spend time with them to get to know their personality. To play or cuddle or just rest. I have a fenced, shady, back yard for the nature loving pups. I keep one dog at a time. The other dog at my home is my 10 year old mini schnauzer, Finn. Beside boarding I do wellness visits to your home that can include administering medicine, mobility checks for seniors, or just companionship. As well, I offer day care if that better fits your needs. I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid which includes CPR training. All dogs must be spade/neutered. I am not equipped to care for puppies, so I don't take dogs under 1 year old. Also, I love cats, but I'm allergic to them. I'm available during weekends and holidays. I'm flexible and will work to accommodate your schedule. Most importantly, I love dogs, they're awesome. I treat them all as though they were mine. See you soon at a meet and greet! My schedule allows me to work around the dog's needs. If I need to run out, I try not to be gone more than an hour. In that case, I turn doggie cameras on to monitor everything while I'm gone. I am within eyesight of the dog during the day inside. When we go out into the yard, I don't leave them alone there. I will crate the dog if you want them crated. I try to keep their routine the way they are used to it.
“I’m beyond grateful for the incredible care Melinda and her husband gave my little 6 lb Yorkie, Khloe. From the moment I left her with them, I felt completely at peace knowing she was in loving, trustworthy hands. They kept me updated every single day with how she was eating, sleeping, playing, and adjusting, which meant the world to me. They went above and beyond with her care — taking her on walks, giving her endless cuddles, attention, and comfort, and treating her as if she were their own baby. You can truly tell they have a genuine love and passion for animals. Khloe came home happy, relaxed, loved, and so well cared for. Finding someone you can fully trust with your fur baby is priceless, and I can honestly say Melinda and her husband are now Khloe’s forever sitters. We absolutely love them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for compassionate, dependable, and exceptional pet care.”
“An absolute joy to have our dog spend time with Denise! She is amazing, kept us informed with pics and nice notes each day. Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone wanting a loving and caring sitter for your pet.”
“Brad was amazing! My dog Blanca enjoyed her time and was very happy staying with Brad. When we have a need again we will certainly use Brad. We highly recommend Brad!”
“Absolutely the BEST!! It was like a whole family team. Everyone seemed to be involved in the care of Levi. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to come home! 😀 Definitely a home away from home for your pet.”

“Layla is truly one of a kind person. Her love for animals is absolutely incredible. I was unexpectedly out of town for a very long time. Layla's attention and love for my cats is what made all the difference in the world. I could not have even imaged my long absence if were not for Layla. I'm not just leaving a review to be nice, I cannot imagine a better pet sitter than Layla or a better person. She is truly a breath of fresh air in a world where we really need loving and caring people. I will never forget Layla, neither will my cats! You are loved Layla!”
“Sarah took great care of my cats! She was always on-time and sent detailed updates of her visit. My cats weren’t the most friendly but that didn’t discourage Sarah. We had to unexpectedly extend our trip and she was able to add on a few more days of care to help us out, which I really appreciated! I will definitely book with Sarah again for future trips.”
“Renee was an amazing sitter for Juice. She was very clear with how he was acting and responding during her visits. After basically one day he warmed up just fine and I knew he’d be in good hands while I was out of town. Her communication was very prompt, and I was never left guessing what he was up to. Would definitely recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Our kitties are notorious for being shy; we’ve even had cat sitters not see them at all when taking care of them… but that wasn’t the case with Michelle. She showed them so much care and attention that they even started greeting her at the door upon her arrival. We’re grateful for Michelle and she will now be our first call for any of our cat-care needs!”

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.

And can give tips are effective ways of to teach commands and keeping them safe and happy.

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.

“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! 🐾🏡”
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 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.
“We were so lucky to have Gillian as our cat sitter for Black Fury! She took wonderful care of our incredibly shy and skittish boy, and we were amazed at how well he warmed up to her gentle and caring approach. Gillian kept our home tidy, the litter boxes clean, and showed such conscientious attention to every detail. She’s truly a gem, and we’re thrilled to have her as our go-to sitter from now on. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter!”
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.

“Our miniature poodle Leo enjoyed his time with Mariana having plenty of space to play and attention to his playtime needs. Leo especially enjoyed the extra cuddles! We would definitely bring him back again.”
“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”
“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.”
“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.”

“Lovely family who went above and beyond to ensure my fur baby had fresh air and undivided attention. Excellent and prompt communication. Safe and reliable caregivers.”
“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 have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with senior dogs as well as crazy hipper dogs who just want attention. I am structured and kind and prefer pets to people.

“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!”

“Layla was so incredibly patient and understanding with our boy Maverick. He is a very shy big boy who can look scary but he is the biggest of babies. On the first walk when we were gone he didn’t want to leave the apartment she was wonderfully patient and understanding of his feelings and hesitation. After that walks were great and he perked up more and more with each walk🥹 we will definitely use her again”
“Leslie was a great walker and friend to Emmett! She was prompt, always cheerful and gentle. She has a lovely way with our dog, who is strong. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was 12 years old. I have cared for my own dogs and cats over the years. I have also exhibited reliable, loving and trustworthy care for neighbors and friends pets while they were away. I also attain experience in training dogs. Additionally, I also have volunteer experience at a pet shelter in specifically caring for and feeding dogs and cats within that shelter. I do not currently work, so I have a lot of free time to come over to care for and walk your pet throughout the day while you are away! In providing care in the client’s home, I try to focus on abiding to the pets day to day routines to help establish some normalcy and minimize their stress when being cared for. It’s also important to ensure their pet is secure when going outside or on their daily walks, Ias well as making sure the doors are locked and/or secure when entering and leaving the residence. I also love to take photos of the pets I care for and send the to their owner to let them know they are safe. As your pet sitter, I strive to ensure that your animal feel loved and protected when they are with me.
About: Hi, I’m Catie! I work full-time from home and love spending my free time outdoors with animals whenever I can. My family and friends joke that I “disappear” in public because I’ll stop to greet every dog I see or, if I’m out on a run, I’ll randomly pause just to say hi to cats sitting outside along the way. Being active and around pets is a big part of my lifestyle, which makes pet care a natural fit for me. I take care instructions seriously and focus on making sure each pet feels comfortable, stays on their normal routine, and is happy and well cared for. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments, including senior pets, shy or anxious animals, and those with special health needs. I’m comfortable with senior care, special diets, and helping animals who need extra patience to warm up. I also have volunteer experience with a rescue organization, along with hands-on experience administering medications and managing special diets. Keeping litter boxes clean is second nature to me, and I understand how important cleanliness and consistency are for cats. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to adjust my availability as needed. You’ll also get regular updates, photos, and clear communication. I’m basically that person who can’t resist taking pictures of photogenic pets, so expect a lot of cute photo spam too. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have pets of my own and am used to keeping up with schedules, routines, and all the day-to-day care that comes with them. Since I work from home, I also have the flexibility to fit visits into my day more easily than someone with a more structured work schedule. I’m very intuitive with animals and usually pick up quickly on their moods, comfort levels, and personalities. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow their usual routine as closely as I can, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box care, and any other instructions. I also pay close attention to behavior and comfort to make sure they’re getting the care and attention they need while their favorite human is away.

“We used Sarah over the Thanksgiving week and Sarah was amazing! Always on time and sent multi pictures from each visit. Our dog Joey did great in her care and she always ended her visits with a cuddle on the couch! We would highly recommend her for anyone looking for pet care! Thank you Sarah!!”
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.
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.
“Adela was great with Pickles! She always had informative walk cards so I could see their trip & how he was. She also sent me photos and kept Pickles company :) Would definitely recommend her!”
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 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! However, I do work a 1-10pm job, typical 8 hour shifts! 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.

“Birdie had a great stay with Aura and her family. I appreciated the updates and photos. I was happy to see my energetic pup running around having fun with the other dogs. I will definitely rebook. Thank you!”
“Sarah is a kind and reliable sitter. She was easy to contact and communicate with, and most importantly, she cared for my elder dog as if her own. I will definitely contact Sarah for future pup sitting.”
“Dani was amazing! She had everything already set up to welcome little Blueberry into her home. She was sweet and kind. Blueberry was instantly right at home. Dani took great care of her and sent pictures every day. I will definitely be leaving Blueberry with Dani again when I go out of town!”
“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.”
“I’ve boarded Pablo twice here and it’s been a pleasant experience both times. Communication is great, she sends me pictures and videos of Pablo and she gave him a bath as well which I really appreciated.”
“She was a great last minute sitter! We traveled to Florida with our dog and he didn’t adjust well to the hotel, so she kept my dog while we went to a concert. She responds quickly, and her family is great! She has a loving dog of her own and the dogs had a great time playing!”
“Amelia is great! This is our first time using Rover and based on her reviews, we went with her. We are so glad we met her! She was amazing with Jojo, he is very hyper (we are working on it), and she was so patient and helpful. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and it shows in her care. We will definitely be using her again!!! Thank you Amelia!”
“My dog had a nice overnight stay while I was in town doing adult things I couldn’t take my dog with me to while on a road trip. They have a nice big fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in and they also sent me pics. I can tell they truly love dogs. Highly recommend.”
“She sent videos of the dogs getting along with her dog several times. I was very nervous because my doodles are rescues. Lucia likes other dogs. Rosie not so much. My dogs are rescues that were bred. They tend to reject males at a point which stops their use to breed. Stephanie knew this and eased my mind. My dogs love her and her family. It was a perfect fit!”
“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!”
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.
“Moka had another wonderful week with Danielle! Moka is so comfortable with Danielle and family. No hesitation here--Moka enjoys every minute and her tail was wagging as soon as she arrived! Moka loves chilling in the grass in the mornings and listening to the birds. And I have no worries with this capable sitter who manages Moka's diabetes injection schedule and feedings. I couldn't ask for better care for my dog!”
“Roseanne is a great dog sitter! She is very pleasant and relaxed. Easy to communicate with and reliable. We are grateful she and her family could take our pup in for the weekend. He fit right in and had a great time!”
“Thank you Anabela for taking care of Bailey. He looked very calm and relaxed when I picked him up from your house. That means he had a good time with you. I appreciate that you took him for a walks he loves to go outside. Thanks for sending me updates and pictures. You are a great pet sitter 👍🏼 See you when I'll bring Bailey next time as we spoke. Thank you again !”
“We returned from our trip to 2 happy tails wagging and 2 very content pups... Natalie took excellent care of them and we're very happy with this as we did not want to book with the usual facilities where they're alone all night. We will definitely request Natalie's services 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.”
“Omg what an incredible find on Rover! Traci was an absolute joy to meet! Friendly, personable and we could tell immediately she would love our dog in our absence. Their home is a one level property with a fenced in back yard. Our labradoodle (Hotah) is not used to having a sliding glass door open that he could go in and out at free will. I know he was in heaven. Traci text me several times with updates on how he was doing along with photos. We felt so comfortable touring around St. Augustine, Florida and leaving him with her. She liked his snuggles as much as he liked hers. I am definitely recommending them as a couple to care for your pet. I will not use anyone else when I am in the area unless I absolutely could not get them. Thank you so much Traci & Alex for opening up your home and your loving arms to care for our furry friends!!”
