“The experience was incredible for Nala! I received many videos of my pup and she looked so happy the whole time I was away! Very grateful for this experience and would definitely book again!”
“Sarah is amazing! She has taken Kaiser in twice now while we’ve been out of town and he has such a good time and well taken cared of. She consistently provides updates and pictures which is really nice too. I would highly recommend Sarah for watching your pup!”
“Judith and her family are amazing, our pups first boarding experience went perfect and she made everything easy! Buster loved his time at Judith’s and we we for sure be using her in the future!”
“Richard was very professional and dependable with my senior pup. He made accommodations to extend the boarding and it had already been a long one. We’re very grateful our special boy was in such good hands for the holidays. Thanks again, Richard!”
“Nilanie did a great job watching our dog, Lola, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent adorable photos everyday of our pup and provided consistent updates on how she was adjusting. Definitely recommend!”
“Robert is very nice and was willing to accommodate to my dog’s routine. He was also flexible when my plans changed and I needed to pick up a few hours after the scheduled time. Will be booking with Robert again for my next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Ayana and family watched our two dogs for a weekend. Communication and timely responses along with photos. Our dogs seemed quite content with their stay. It worked out great for our family.”
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with Bailey over the Christmas and New Year’s break. Bailey has high anxiety, so leaving him is never easy — but Victoria truly made him feel at home. From the moment I saw the updates, I could tell he was having the time of his life. She went above and beyond by spending quality time with him, throwing the frisbee, giving him fun snacks, and making sure he felt loved and comfortable. The photos she shared were so thoughtful and reassuring — it was clear he wasn’t just being watched, he was being genuinely cared for and spoiled. What stood out most was how naturally she created a calm, happy environment for a dog who normally struggles with anxiety. That alone speaks volumes about her patience, attentiveness, and love for animals. Bailey came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Victoria is truly a gem, and I honestly feel she’s undervalued for the level of care she provides. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Alway a great experience. Every time we leave Dexter with Kendall and Matthew is peace of mind for us. Dexter really enjoys staying with them and we know he's going to be safe.”
“Andrea was so wonderful with my pup! She was so responsive and sending constant updates and pictures which was so appreciated. She clearly took great care of my dog and I would 100% leave her with her again!”
“Jaylen was exceptional. Sebastian usually lets me know pretty quickly if he doesn’t care for someone, but Jaylen definitely gained a fan. He was professional, communicative, and kept me updated with photos throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him!”
“A lovely family setting. Constant care and supervision…. My dog and their young child really hit it off, and it’s obvious he missed them when he came home. Couldn’t recommend more highly!”
“We want to take the time to express our gratitude to Ms. Marissa S. She took excellent care of our girl Oli while we were away. She treated Oli as if one of the family. We received regular updates and pictures giving us a peace of mind. We will definitely be reaching out to her anytime we need help with our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Franceska and Daniel are the very best! Apollo has a great time every time he goes over. He and Atlas have so much fun. We feel so safe having our boy in there care and he can’t wait to go back!!”
“Grachel was amazing. She kept me up to date on my fur babies everyday. She even made a trip to the store to get them extra food since my trip extended. They took care of them as if they were their own.”
“Byron is the best! He always takes great care of my dogs. They get plays, cuddles, and great interaction. Byron is really great at responding and is super patient if things arise. Highly recommend as a dog momma of 3!”
“Lisa was great! My dog Ricky is relaxed and looks like he enjoyed his weekend away. Lisa gave plenty of updates and was easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and will use her again.”
“She was amazing to my boy! I loved all the pics she sent while she had him and was really understanding when I ran a little behind on pick up. I would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone for their fur baby's care. ?”

“It was so reassuring to have Ayla taking care of my 3 kittie for a week. She was immediately accepted by the cats...a real validation of her service. Will definitely ask for her help again!”
“Kelly did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 kitties. She made sure they had what they needed and paid extra attention to our kitty with slight stomach issues. She went above and beyond making sure things at the house were in good care as well. I highly recommend her services!”

“Cher is amazing. We’ve booked her twice now. She goes above and beyond and provides updates. Our travel plans changed quite a bit due to weather and she was flexible and easy to work with. I never like leaving our cat when we travel, but it makes it easier knowing she is in good hands.”

I am free majority of the time so I always have plenty of time to take care of your pets My dogs go out multiple times a day and exercise all of the time. We play fetch, run, jump, and all other sorts of exercises. I always allow my animals to get plenty of work indoors and outdoors to keep them happy and in shape.

“I took my dog to Stacy for daycare and he had so much fun playing all day with the dogs there. He came home very happy and sleepy. From the videos she sent me during the day, you could tell how much she loved having him there, and how much he loved her as well. When I dropped him off, I saw she had many dogs of her own, including adorable puppies, and a few that she was watching. This is a great place to take your dog if they love socializing. I will be rebooking again and again for daycare and overnights.”
About: A loving teacher and transplant from Minnesota, I have cared for pets of all shapes and sizes since I was small! I'd love to meet and care for your fur baby! I just moved to Florida with my family and am looking for my next adventure. My schedule is flexible and I will make time to care for your pet I am compassionate and caring for pets but don't leave a trail when I've been in someone's space! I grew up a girl scout and we were taught to leave a place cleaner than when you've found it!
“The best dog sitter in Tallahassee!! Highly Recommend!! My wife and I were in Tallahassee for our homecoming weekend and needed a dog sitter. Judith did an outstanding job taking care of our Furbaby! She was very warm and welcoming; and our puppy was excited to return the 2nd day. When we return to town we will only use Judith!”
“Navi seemed comfortable around Ashley and her bf; they are very prompt to respond and sent me updates. Overall a good daycare! Thanks so much for taking care of Navi, he was very pleased and happy ?”
“Absolutely the best experience we could've asked for! I was unintentionally late and she was very understanding. Sent photos through out the day and made shiro feel at home. I would most certainly recommend to everyone.”
“Byron came to the rescue last minute to watch my two pups—saved our vacation from needing to be cancelled last minute. When we got the dogs back at the end of the day, they were both so tired and happy—perfect day of daycare!! Will definitely be a repeat customer.”
“Ainla was amazing! She drove to my workplace and then dropped him off at his puppy kindergarten classes! She sent me pictures of his stay and kept me updated on his activities. Nico had a great time, came back home all ready for a nap. If you are looking for a great sitter, Ainla is the perfect choice! ”
About: I have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since the day I got my drivers license! We recently moved to Tallahassee, and after dog sitting for a mutual friend, I realized this is something I really enjoy — and my dog does too! While we’re not in a position to get her a sibling, I know she’d love the company of other dogs. We have a large fenced in back yard and a large crate (to be used only if that is your preference). I’ll brag that my dog is great with other dogs — she senses what they need, and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her body. What a great opportunity to know your dog is having as much fun as you are while you’re away! As someone who works from home, I generally let my dog out in the morning before starting work. I can easily let the dog(s) out as often as possible during the day. I can take breaks to play, but generally save any structured activity for after work. In the evenings we love to take walks around the neighborhood or through a local park. With more time on the weekends, we enjoy driving to explore longer walks and greenways. Although I have obligations out of the house, the longest I’m away from home any given day is usually no longer than 4 hours total. I have a large fenced in yard and a very friendly dog who loves to play, but also understands boundaries. Although we don’t use the crate for our dog anymore, we still have a large crate that can be used if that is your preference. We have a one story house but do have stairs up to the house and into the yard.
“Aylee was absolutely wonderful with Peaches! She accommodated us on very short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was incredibly communicative and friendly throughout the entire stay. We felt confident right away that Peaches was in great hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was being so well cared for. We would recommend Aylee to anyone and are already looking forward to bringing Peaches back in the future!”
About: I am 37 years old and have cared for pets over the years but done Rover/Professional dog sitting for roughly 5 and a half years now. I worked as a traveling salesman for a few years so I unfortunately wasn’t able to have a pet(it would’ve been more difficult) but I stayed at many airbnbs that had cats/dogs and I have many friends who have let me keep their pets for them over the years. I had a pet snake for about 7 years(Rosey Boa). I can care for any and all animals including fish and reptiles. I'm not afraid of Tarantulas and birds are ok too. I only work part-time so I am pretty available to help your pet. I am happy to take dogs on walks, dog park visits, and I am an avid hiker so if you think your dog would enjoy a nature walk I can bring plenty of water and show them the great outdoors. I do not have a fully fenced in yard. I live in an apartment complex but I live on an end unit and currently I do not have roommates so I am happy to have pets to keep me company. Theres plenty of places to walk the dogs around my complex and as long as they’ll get along and are housebroken I am able to host multiple pets. Cats are ok too. I love exotics like reptiles and tarantulas as well. Ferrets and other furry friends are also ok. I can do house sitting and I am open to long term stays in other people's homes. Please let me know if your pet has any special needs and I can accommodate that. I have experience with elderly dogs. I can easily take your dog for walks or to the dog park if that's allowed. I do keep multiple dogs sometimes but if your dog isn't friendly with other dogs I can easily make arrangements especially if it's multiple dogs. I like to take the dogs on frequent walks and sometimes I watch movies/TV with pets in the evening. Do go ahead and send me a request! What are you waiting for? I promise the only thing I will fail to do is disappoint you! I'm working part-time so I generally am available to keep your dog/pet company however if you have the kind of pet that can't go more than 3 hours or so being alone I cannot do that. Occasionally I have to leave the house and do errands. I have everything needed at my house for dogs. You would just have to bring food, leash/harness and treats. I have crates, bowls, toys and everything else needed. I don't have a fenced in yard but there are many areas where the dog can walk and play around here. I don't have any other dogs of my own currently.
“Diana put all my worries to rest. She took amazing care of my senior dog! Paris came back super relaxed. Diana provided updates and I could tell she was taking good care of my Paris :) Would 100% recommend and will definitely contact her again.”
About: I have a genuine love for animals and a strong understanding of their needs, which makes me a great pet sitter. I’ve had experience caring for a variety of pets, and I always make sure to provide personalized care for each one. What sets me apart from other sitters is my ability to connect with animals on a deeper level, helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’m especially patient and attentive when working with puppies, senior pets, or animals with special needs. I’m skilled at recognizing behavioral cues, which allows me to train puppies and provide gentle care for senior pets to keep them healthy and happy. My compassionate nature and dedication to their well-being really shine through in the care I give. Pet care fits into my routine by allowing me to balance my college schedule with taking care of pets. I make time for walks, feeding, and play between classes or in my free time. My flexible schedule lets me provide pets with the attention they need without interfering with my studies or other responsibilities. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to create a comfortable and safe environment for them. I ensure they have fresh food, clean water, and plenty of space to play and relax. I stick to any routines or instructions provided by the pet owner, whether it’s feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, or special care needs. I also make time for walks, playtime, and cuddling to give them attention and affection. In a client’s home, I’m mindful of their space and maintain cleanliness, ensuring the pet feels at ease while the owner is away.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own and love them like they are my children! I also have lots of experience being a dog walker including walking my own dogs and other peoples dogs and I have experience pet sitting for my friends and family. I am excited to be able to use my experience to help others! I currently have a full-time job, but since I work from home, I am able to do doggy daycare and check on pets at lunch. For doggy daycare, I can do any day, and for checking in at lunch, I can do Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My weekends are pretty open for dog walking and pet sitting at any time! My full time job is 8-5 Monday-Friday, but it is work from home so I have that flexibility of doing doggy daycare. I have a fenced yard and 3 small dogs that can keep your dog company! I also have plenty of dog toys and a crate if your dog is crate trained so you wouldn’t have to bring your own!
About: I’ve taken care of different pets since I was 7 years old. I have experience taking care of house pets, farm animals, and exotic pets. I recently completed my Masters of Public Health and working full time. My schedule is very flexible throughout the week. I own a dog myself, so I am always willing to make time to take care of somebody’s else pet as if it was my own. I enjoy building a connection with the pet first. I want the pet to know that I am not a threat to them and that they can rely on me to support and take care of them. I am detail oriented, which allows me to provide the pet assurance of being in good hands.
About: Hi! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine a home without them. I started training animals at the age of 16, which helped me learn how to understand different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Our home is full of love—we have two sweet doodles who are part of our family, and two children who absolutely adore animals and enjoy helping give them attention and care. Pets in our home are treated like family, with plenty of patience, affection, and playtime. We are kind, loving people who take pet care seriously. Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, structured care, or just a safe and happy place while you’re away, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for at all times. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible daily schedule and allows me to be present with pets throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and affection. In my home, pets are treated like family. I don’t believe in isolating animals—pets are welcome on the couch, in the bed, and anywhere they feel comfortable. I believe cuddles, affection, and feeling safe are just as important as food and walks, so your pet will get plenty of love and attention while staying with us. They will be allowed to play in our large fence yard and pool. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I follow instructions exactly as requested. I respect your routines, rules, and preferences so your pet’s care stays consistent and stress-free. Whether that means crate time, specific feeding schedules, or house rules, I make sure everything is done the way you want.
About: I trained canine assistance dogs for 9 months and have over 25 years of experience. I’m very good with all types and personalities when it comes to our furry companions Working on switching my career path right now since there is a shift to corporate medicine in animal hospitals and as support staff I lost the feeling of being supported, or properly compensated myself. I recently started watching my neice from 6-4 Monday through Friday. Sometimes I will do delivery driving at night, but only if that is ok with you! I also have my medical marijuana card. Despite that review that says I agreed not to, I have never negotiated this. I’m an anxious, insomniac with cyclical vomiting syndrome. Some days I would not be ok without it🥺 I apologize if that does not work for anybody, but one must take care of themselves before they can care for others. This actually isn’t lucrative enough with my schedule. I ONLY do this because animals are my passion!!! Feel free to ask me any questions at all! I really am an open book! I have a 3/3 townhouse set up with lots of room for walks. Unfortunately there is no fence, but it is a very pet friendly environment.

About: As retirees, Steven and I have reached a point in our lives where we have the time and freedom to pursue something we truly love...caring for our furry friends! We have 2 great guys of our own, Mac and Zac! Our flexible schedules have afforded us plenty of time to devote to those 2, providing them with the absolute best loving and safe home environment. In fact, we think they think we retired just for them! They have never been happier. And we know your pet (s) will love being with us too. We absolutely hated when we had to choose to lodge our guys in an impersonal setting, such as a commercial kennel. So we decided to "pay it forward" and offer others a much better alternative for their pets. Not to mention, the peace of mind of knowing that your pets are in the best of care. So whether it's walks, playtime or just good company, we are here to help! Being retired affords us the opportunity to be home daily. Therefore, our services are available 7 days a week. We love being outdoors but more than anything, we love pets! We've found that dogs have a sense of routine. Changes in that routine can be over-stimulating. Therefore, the preferred setting for dogs is to be either in their own homes or in a more personal home-like setting. That's why our services are so vital. Theirs definitely NO PLACE LIKE HOME (or HOME-LIKE) . We offer spacious climate controlled accommodations which include: 1. 2 - Generous size sleeping suite with room to move around and relax comfortably. 2. Comfy and clean doggie beds or you can choose to bring your own. 3. Individual feeding station which includes filtrated water dispensers 4. Personal Care - Individualized care catering to dog's unique needs and preferences

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. Professionally I have worked with animals for about 5 years now. I worked at a doggy daycare for almost 3 years.

My job duties involve administering medication daily and taking care of both dogs and cats. I have previously worked at an emergency veterinary hospital as well, which helped me learn how to react best under pressure. I have 3 fur babies of my own (1 dog and 2 cats). I have previously volunteered at local animal shelters where I met many different types of dogs and cats. I look forward to meeting your pets! I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant, so during the week I am only available before 7:30am and after 5:30pm. I am fully available on the weekends! I am happy to follow any directions left for me about caring for your fur babies! I have pets of my own that all have different feeding schedules, amounts, and medications. So lists of requests and directions do not scare me!

Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine, as I’m currently unemployed and focusing on part-time opportunities. This gives me the flexibility to dedicate my full attention and time to your pet’s needs, including walks, feedings, playtime, or special care throughout the day. I prioritize safety and comfort by creating a calm, pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow each pet’s routine closely, keep dangerous items out of reach, and give them plenty of attention and supervision. I also respect your space and follow any specific instructions to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for at all times.
About: I have five cats and a dog of my own. I love exploring new trails and finding new places to walk. I also have experience administering medication to pets. I grew up with a dog that needed lots of medicine. I have plenty of experience with injections, pills, and liquids. I will treat your baby like my own. I truly miss the animals I watch when I inevitably have to leave. I hope you will trust me with your baby soon! I currently work part time and I am in nursing school. I can try to make any booking work with advance notice. Please reach out and we can make it work! I am very careful with making sure harnesses are on and safe. I make sure the water and food bowl are full and nothing is out that is dangerous.
About: Hi, I’m Gaby! Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and many other pets for years, and I love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I’m gentle, patient, and make sure every pet feels loved and secure while their owners are away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feedings, or cuddles, I pay attention to the little details that keep pets happy and comfortable. You can count on me to treat your pets like family and keep you updated every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I’m an early riser and love starting my mornings with walks or playtime. Throughout the day, I make time for feeding, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. On busier days, I still make sure every pet gets the care and love they deserve, consistency and comfort are always my priorities. When I care for pets in my home or my client’s home, I make sure their routine stays as close to normal as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions carefully. I always keep the environment safe, comfortable, and calm, giving pets the space and attention they need to feel secure. In my clients’ homes, I treat their space with respect and make sure pets are cared for just like they would be if their owner were there. Whether it’s cleaning up after them, giving medications, or spending extra time for cuddles and play, I go above and beyond to make sure every pet feels loved and cared for.
About: I have taken care of dogs basically my whole life! I love them and would love to walk,feed,board,bathe,care for your dog! I love dogs of all sizes!!!! I want to make this a full time thing! So any days work great! Short or longer term! I’m up for any challenges! Breed isn’t an issue I play with them and give them treats and Toys! Make sure they get lots of time outside in the sun and would be totally good with even bathing them!
About: I’ve had two labs since the age of 7 and one is an ATF K-9. I’m the back up handler for my dad which involves drills and basic commands in order for her to be fed. My other lab louie isn’t the biggest fan of other dogs and required lots of strength while on walks so pulling will not be a problem for me.:) I love playing and snuggling especially since I’m at school away from my dogs. I’m currently a student with online classes so my day can prioritize the care of your dog! I work out daily but that takes up a max of an hour of my day. I’d love to be active with my dogs and take them for runs. I’d love to do the same for a future pet. I have no other dogs in the apartment so they will get one on one care. I’m currently a student at Florida state but my classes are taken online so there will be plenty of times for walks, play and scratches. I prioritize leash walks and like to build trust with the dog early on so there’s no nerves or stress. I enjoy treat training (only when allowed).
About: I have always been around animals. My dad owned horses, goats, chickens, cows, and we always had dogs. The different dogs were always my favorite! I am completely open and available. I am also a lot more accepting of last minute requests than most Rovers tend to be. Please let me know how I can help! I have a fenced yard. My ESA husky/ lab mix and English bulldog love all the new friends. I can also crate your pup if necessary.

“Sarah is amazing! She has taken Kaiser in twice now while we’ve been out of town and he has such a good time and well taken cared of. She consistently provides updates and pictures which is really nice too. I would highly recommend Sarah for watching your pup!”
“Richard was very professional and dependable with my senior pup. He made accommodations to extend the boarding and it had already been a long one. We’re very grateful our special boy was in such good hands for the holidays. Thanks again, Richard!”
“Nilanie did a great job watching our dog, Lola, while we were out of town for a few days. She sent adorable photos everyday of our pup and provided consistent updates on how she was adjusting. Definitely recommend!”
“Robert is very nice and was willing to accommodate to my dog’s routine. He was also flexible when my plans changed and I needed to pick up a few hours after the scheduled time. Will be booking with Robert again for my next trip. Highly recommend!”
“Ayana and family watched our two dogs for a weekend. Communication and timely responses along with photos. Our dogs seemed quite content with their stay. It worked out great for our family.”
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with Bailey over the Christmas and New Year’s break. Bailey has high anxiety, so leaving him is never easy — but Victoria truly made him feel at home. From the moment I saw the updates, I could tell he was having the time of his life. She went above and beyond by spending quality time with him, throwing the frisbee, giving him fun snacks, and making sure he felt loved and comfortable. The photos she shared were so thoughtful and reassuring — it was clear he wasn’t just being watched, he was being genuinely cared for and spoiled. What stood out most was how naturally she created a calm, happy environment for a dog who normally struggles with anxiety. That alone speaks volumes about her patience, attentiveness, and love for animals. Bailey came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Victoria is truly a gem, and I honestly feel she’s undervalued for the level of care she provides. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog like family.”
“Alway a great experience. Every time we leave Dexter with Kendall and Matthew is peace of mind for us. Dexter really enjoys staying with them and we know he's going to be safe.”
“Jaylen was exceptional. Sebastian usually lets me know pretty quickly if he doesn’t care for someone, but Jaylen definitely gained a fan. He was professional, communicative, and kept me updated with photos throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him!”
“We want to take the time to express our gratitude to Ms. Marissa S. She took excellent care of our girl Oli while we were away. She treated Oli as if one of the family. We received regular updates and pictures giving us a peace of mind. We will definitely be reaching out to her anytime we need help with our dog. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others.”
“Franceska and Daniel are the very best! Apollo has a great time every time he goes over. He and Atlas have so much fun. We feel so safe having our boy in there care and he can’t wait to go back!!”
“Grachel was amazing. She kept me up to date on my fur babies everyday. She even made a trip to the store to get them extra food since my trip extended. They took care of them as if they were their own.”
“Byron is the best! He always takes great care of my dogs. They get plays, cuddles, and great interaction. Byron is really great at responding and is super patient if things arise. Highly recommend as a dog momma of 3!”
“She was amazing to my boy! I loved all the pics she sent while she had him and was really understanding when I ran a little behind on pick up. I would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone for their fur baby's care. ?”

I love dogs and cats to my core. I work full time at a specialty vet clinic in town. I have Tuesdays and weekends off to spend time socializing with your pets.

After 7 I will be home for dinner time, play time, and getting ready for bed. I have a spare bedroom dedicated for boarding pets. I have a play pen, and dog crates if needed. I have a fenced in yard. All my furniture in my house is pet friendly. I have dogs and cats that live in my home and are friendly with other dogs and cats. Also a meet and greet beforehand is always a good idea.

About: I taken care of animals all my life. Fishes, guinea pigs,hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and cats! I even volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer and it was such a great experience!! I will treat your baby like it’s my own💕 Majority of my day ends around 3:30 due to classes but other times it ends before that in the afternoon. I am free on the weekends unless I am traveling out of town! I live in a first floor apartment in a gated community. All dogs are safe to walk around the complex as every dog is required to be leashed. I also have a lock to my room incase I do any animal sitting, so no randoms can come into my room nor apartment.
“Ainla did a great job with our Duncan. While he loves other dogs, he is normally a little shy around new people, but he got comfortable with her within the first day. She sent regular videos to us and he was definitely looking happy during his time with her. We don't go out of town often, but we'll definitely use Duncan's Aunt Ainla next time we do.”
“Ashley was great! She let my dog sleep in her bed and treated our little girl just like we would treat her at home. She would send us photos or videos throughout the time we were gone. Really appreciated it!”
“Christy was great! She communicated with me to let me know how things were going and adorable pictures! Hal came home relaxed, happy, and tired! Will totally give her a call next time I need a sitter for my girl!”
