“Kyrie has been doing a great job with my Brandi girl. This is her first time away with someone other than family members and she settled in really well with him. He has been extremely helpful to ease our parental worries too, along with giving tips about her harness and walking so she doesn't pull as much. He is calm and soft spoken which I feel really is comforting to her as well.”
“Shaniece did a terrific job taking care of our dog. We were out of town for 5 days and I never worried. Shaniece was reliable for drop off and pick up. I will use her again.”
“Thank you for watching Bently. Was unsure of finding someone to care for him online was a good idea. Meeting and talking with Ms Patty made me very comfortable with leaving him, and sending pictures of him enjoying his self put the icing on the cake ?”
“Ms. Cindy was terrific!! Her communication before dropping her off, during our vacation and the picking up process was wonderful. This was our first time utilizing the Rover app, however Ms. Cindy put our minds at ease throughout the entire process. Her care of our beloved Chessie was top notch!! Very personable and helpful! We Highly recommend Ms. Cindy K.!”
“Ladonna is so sweet and caring! Buddy went right to her and I felt comfortable immediately. She sent pictures to share Buddy’s adventures. Her home is clean and cozy. Buddy will go back. I highly recommend Ladonna!”
“Our two pups loved spending time with Savanna and her family! It was so nice to be able to get away and not have to worry if they were ok, Savannah sent daily updates and pics which made our day!! Also we appreciated her quick response time! 1000/10 would recommend Savanna to anyone!!!”
“Alexander was the Best! Our dog hit it off with him right away! Alexander was great about sending us video clips as well as pictures. We could tell that our dog was well cared for. I would choose Alexander again in a heartbeat! I HIGHLY recommend him. Simply Wonderful!”
“She was so great with my fur son and he really enjoyed being with her. I was so relieved with the many pictures and videos I received due to never being apart from him. I will definitely use her services again and again.”
“Valerie is an amazing pet sitter! Our two pups had a great time and were well cared for. She kept us updated with daily pictures and texts to let us know how they were doing. Highly recommend Valerie and we’ll definitely book again with her.”
“I always worry when I board Sebastien because you always hear horror stories. It's not a facility you can go in and inspect, so you rely on reviews and scrutinize profiles and hope for the best. I didn't worry about Sebastien at all after meeting Adria. She was personable and detail oriented and the exterior of her home was clean and well maintained. She sent pictures and updates and gave me notes on his food. She was also not overwhelmed by his high energy antics. He came home happy and clean! It's such a relief to find someone trustworthy, and I highly recommend!”
“I’m very thankful to have found Geri, She took care of my fur baby and was very caring and professional. Geri provided me updates and a photo daily. I’m rating her a five star and recommend her services. I will be utilizing her services again. Ann”
“Kaliyah was very welcoming and she stayed in touch with me. I am very grateful for her, I was late coming back and she was very understanding of me being stuck in traffic. I will definitely ask her to keep my baby again”
About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally and personally for several years, and it’s truly something I’m passionate about. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a structured, essential part of the day just like eating or working. • Morning: Feed pets, refresh water, take dogs for a walk or clean litter boxes. • Midday: Walks, playtime, or drop-in visits if providing services to clients. • Evening: Dinner, another walk or potty break, brushing or light grooming. • Safe environment: Pet-proofed spaces, separate areas if needed for different pets. • Feeding on schedule: Following owner instructions exactly, including dietary restrictions. • Exercise/playtime: Supervised yard play, walks. • Comfort & rest: Cozy resting areas, routines that mimic their home life to reduce stress. • Updates to owners: Daily photos or messages to reassure and stay transparent.
About: I have had animals all of my life and love caring for and playing with them. I will always treat your animals like my own. I am a stay at home mom of three, so I have open availability. My two older kidd are gone for school during the week. So its just me and my three year old. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who like meeting new dog friends. They would be let out multiple times a day and fed depending in your feeding schedule and played with constantly.
About: I have experience caring for both my own pets and dogs for acquaintances. I have pet sat two German Shepherds, where I was responsible for feeding them, making sure they had fresh water, wiping them down before letting them in and also letting them out, and spending time playing with them outside. Caring for my own pets has also given me experience with daily feeding routines, cleaning up after them, providing exercise and attention, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. I enjoy being around animals and understand the importance of being dependable and following each pet’s routine and needs. Since I already care for animals daily, pet care fits naturally into my routine and I’m used to being consistent and responsible with their care. I currently work full-time from 8am to 6pm, so I make sure my pets are taken care of early in the morning before I leave, and they are the first ones I check on and spend time with when I get home. I’m also considering moving to part time so I can have more time available to dedicate to pet care, since spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. In my home, I care for my pets by keeping them on a consistent routine with feeding, fresh water, and daily playtime and attention. I also clean up after them, including litter boxes for my cats and anything needed for my dogs, and just make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. I pay attention to how they’re acting so I can tell if something seems off. In a client’s home, I follow whatever routine the pet is already used to. I stick to feeding and walking instructions, make sure they get attention and exercise, and try to keep them feeling as comfortable and stress free as possible in their own space. I also respect the home and keep everything clean while I’m there.

About: I have been a dog lover all of my life. My husband and I currently have 5 dogs ranging from a small breed all the up to a male German Sheppard. All of our dogs are rescues and it is our goal to give them the best life they never had before (to ensure they know love). Exercise, love, and treats are what it is all about! Your pet will be treated as if it one of my own. With love, attentiveness, kindness, and patience. I am retired from the Air Force and living out my dreams taking care of my 5 dogs. This means that I am available to take care of yours when needed. Every client will have a different idea of how they wish for their fur baby to be treated. For this reason, I will follow any directions that you leave for me regarding your pet. If your pet has dietary restrictions, please note this as I do enjoy giving Milk Bone brand treats out.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep understanding of feline behavior and my commitment to creating a calm, clean, and enriching environment for every cat I care for. I also take pride in the little things—like deep-cleaning litter boxes, keeping feeding areas spotless, and maintaining a consistent routine that helps cats feel secure while their humans are away.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. We have always had dogs in our home, and we currently have five furry friends living with us. Neighbors, friends, family, and coworkers have all relied on me to give the best care to their best friends. I walk, feed, bathe, and play with dogs of all kinds and sizes. I would love to do the same for you and your friend. I currently work full time in middle Georgia, but have time during the day to take a break, have time in the evenings, and have open weekends to care for your pet. In my own home, I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for my own dogs to run and play. In your home, I would use the available area to make sure your dog is taken care of. I am willing to take pets on walks in the surrounding neighborhoods, as well as playtime in the dog’s home. I currently work full time, so my care during the week days would be in the mornings, during a lunch break between 11-1, and again in the evenings. During the weekends, I have open availability to walk, dog sit, and care for your pet. Safety and high quality pet care are my main concerns. I will always use the available space to ensure both myself and your beloved pet remain safe. I am very experienced with leashed walks, both in public areas and private areas. I will always do my very best to ensure your pet is safe and stress free in whatever environment they prefer to be in.
“Leia did an amazing job looking after my sweet Whispur for a week. She sent tons of photos and put on a lot of effort to get my shy cat to play instead of hiding from her the entire time. She left our house just as we left it before our trip. I would’ve never been able to tell that someone was here if it weren’t for the photos that proved otherwise. 10/10! Would book again.”

I do offer service for more than dogs and kitties. I also have experience caring for reptiles and birds. If you have livestock please feel free to message me.

Feel free to bring your pet's bed, smelling their own home can make them feel more comfortable. I live with my boyfriend who also loves pets! We do have an 8 year old spayed cat that is used to dogs staying over. We also have a 4 year old, neutered German Shepherd mix, a 4 year old hound mix, and a 6 year old Jack Russell mix. So your pet would have plenty of interaction both human and animal! If your dog isn't cat friendly no big deal, we have a cat room! Just message me. Monthly flea and tick as well as heartworm prevention is recommended as we do live in the woods. I do require proof of up to date vaccinations. I am a trained pet groomer so I am very familiar with taking care of a pet's coat if brushing is required. If you'd like me to give your pet a bath, trim nails, express anal glands, clean ears, brush teeth feel free to inquire about prices. Disclaimer- Prices depend on breed and condition of the coat and services requested It is not just the flat $35. am currently not set up to do haircuts in my home but I can do basic sanitary cuts, trim faces, nails, ears, and bath.

“Emily dropped in to feed and play with my dog and cat while I was away for a weekend. She sent lots of pictures and spent a good amount of time making sure they were cared for!”
“Kaytlin is a wonderful pet sitter! Our cat was well cared for, happy, and comfortable, while we were away. She went above and beyond to build a relationship with our cat. Great communication and reliable. I highly recommend Kaytlin!”
About: I have two cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with their daily care and routines. I feed them, keep their water fresh, clean their litter boxes, and spend time playing with them and giving them attention. Being a cat owner has taught me that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, I know some are pretty weird too, like one of mine twitches her tail when she sees me and talks back to me. I always try to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. They are very different from dogs but I love them and I would collect every single one if I could.
About: I own & sit for many years. I’m open to elderly pets. Animals are truly my passion! I understand that everyone needs a vacation from time to time and I’m here to secure the pet sitter option. I work part time so I have plenty of time for drop in and walks! Open to dogs & cats no matter how large or small. I have 3 German shepherds and they are complete opposites. I understand the need & wants from a dog that likes to sleep and occasionally pet and one that has enough energy to play sunrise and way past bedtime.
About: Caring for animals isn't just a job for me, is something I love to do. I have over 25 years of experience taking care pets and I was a volunteer rescuer in my home country. Additionally, working as an veterinary assistant help me to feel confident and skilled in handling special needs from administering medications and performing first aid. You can have peace of mind while you are traveling, knowing your furbaby is in good hands because I consider pets part of the family and I will approach every job with the same dedication as they were my own. I'm currently working part time with a flexible schedule that I can adapt accordingly your needs. I will do my best to match the routine you have with your pet, that way your furbaby will feel more calm and safe. I always follow the client instructions and always try to match their routine to make feel the pet more calm. Additionally, I always like to send pictures or videos to the owner showing how they are doing.
“Laura was amazing. This was our first time using Rover and getting a dog sitter and we couldn't be happier. She was punctual, and was able to handle multiple medications for one of our dogs with ease. We'll definitely be using her in the future any time we go out of town.”
About: Hi! My wife Anna Bay and me are avid dog lovers! Our dogs, Ella and Polo, are our children and we take care of them and other dogs like they're our own! We enjoy playing with dogs, running with dogs, going for walks, training and using treats! We would love to give your dog a home for a few days or walk them while you're away. Thank you for considering us, and please feel free to ask any questions! We do ask that you bring a crate/kennel for your dog! Finally, unfortunately due to past bookings we will have to ask that any damaged items will need to be replaced if your dog gets a little curious during their stay! We understand that dogs will play with whatever they find interesting and we will do our best to watch them 100% of the time, but in the small instances where we cannot we’d ask that the owner’s own the responsibility for replacing damaged items! Thank you for considering us and we hope to keep you pup real soon! Sincerely, Keith and Anna Bay Hutchison
About: I've always loved animals. I've raised everything from dogs to cats to rabbits to birds. For the most part, I love spending just as much time with animals as I do with people! I pretty much have an open schedule and would love to spend time with your fur babies. I'm available 24/7 to help when you need me. I have a fenced in your to keep your babies safe and can crate them whenever necessary. I prefer to let them run free though. I am a Realtor with Keller Williams Cityside, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm usually available anytime I'm needed. This includes on short notice, nights and weekends. I have a fenced yard, but can crate your pets if needed. However, as long as they are comfortable, I prefer to let them run free in the house and/or yard.
About: Ever since I was a child I've been surrounded by dogs and animals in my home. My #1 priority is taking care of my pets with whatever they might need. I have experience with dogs in all life stages, from puppies to seniors! Ps: I also own/run a bakery for your pets! 🐾 🦴 I currently have open availability to care for your pets at any time. My scheduling can be pretty flexible and I'm open to do meet and greets with your pups as well! I have a fully fenced yard, pool, open house and two super friendly dogs at home that will ensure your pup has the best time ever while being taken care of. Aside from me being home, there will usually be others: my partner, daughter and my mother.
About: Sometimes when i dog sit I think to myself “I am really being payed to do one of my favorite things!” And it brings me so much joy. I feel like that is where the love comes from in dog sitting. If you don’t love doing it, then what love is there to be felt by the animal. There has to be love in every thing you do and in every word you say to them. I treat animals with respect as i was taught to and I make sure that when you are gone, your furry companion is getting almost all the love and attention they need until you can come back and give them your own again :). I specialize in caring for the animals that you may struggle to find care for! (The ones that may catch a bad rep: Pitts, Rotties, Dobermans, or Danes) I assure you that all of your friends and/or children are safe and cared for with me! I work part time throughout the week and my shifts are only 5 hours at max(with a break in between). So I have all the rest of the day to care for your pets. I do not offer daycare services currently. When given any rules on how to respect or care for your home (and your privacy) I can assure you i will be very quick to acknowledge and abide by your boundaries.
About: I have a pet sitters certificate and I have been taking care of pets since I was 9 years old. I started out helping a older dog man with his yard and he showed me how to give shots, oral medication, etc… Pet care is something I take pride in and the love I have for animals is something special. I enjoy feeding, walking, and playing with pet. I’m available full time for pets in need of my care. I keep the area where the pet is cleaned and I also allow them time outside to enjoy themselves and empty out. I make sure your pet has fresh water and feed. If you have any special requests for your pet let me know and I will be sure to make your pet happy
“She was absolutely amazing to my Zuko. She sent me videos and pictures of him, and it really made my feel better about him being taken care of. She also made sure he was fed and had water. Highly recommend! It’s comforting to me that she is a vet tech and has her own cats, so she understands. But definitely will be using her again to take care of my baby Zuko.”
About: I have the most experience with small dogs since I had a schnoodle for many years. She was my best friend and we lost her in 2020. I loved giving her baths, walking with her, playing with her, and just sitting with her, so I have experience in those areas with small animals. I am currently an educator and I have a new baby on the way (December 2023) and so I would be mainly available on weekends, including Friday's after 3pm. We of course have holidays off and so I would be able to care for your pets on those days as well. Depending on your work schedule I could always walk pets any time after 3 during the weekdays and any time during the weekends when I am off. I know everyone cares for their pets differently and so whatever rules you have specific for your fur babies and home I would respect. I personally did not allow my dog in the kitchen or on furniture but if that is something you do not mind, please let me know. I do not abuse or harm animals to get them to comply. I will always find other alternatives for that.

About: Get your spot now for your fur baby! I grew up in a large family wiith multiple pets! They were always considered part of my family. We had rabbits, dogs, cats, and horses. I have horses now and I have 8 acres for the dogs to play in. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbors, friends, family and many boarders have relied on me! I do have runs in the kennel set up with a/c and heat if needed for the outdoorzie types! As a grandma myself, I have years of experience working with puppies to seniors. My pets are my priority. I am retired and I am an outdoors person so there is plenty of room for running and playing and I have a good relationship with my vet in town. I'm all about the babies! If there is anything special healthwise or anything else going on with your baby, I would need to know upfront so I can be prepared. I spend most of my time outside. Taking care of my horses, or whatever else comes up. If they are familiar with being outside or they can sleep on the couch with me. My goal is to make sure your pet is in a safe environment and is well cared for during the stay. I am out in the country and have plenty of room for exercise and walks. I look forward to meeting you and your baby. Please feel free to reach out for any concerns or questions. -Patty Our daily routine is plenty of fresh air and excersize. My priority is to always make sure your pets are safe and comfortable whether inside or outside. And as I am in the country I am outside ALOT! "Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished." - Dean Koontz . This is exactly how I feel! A little about my boarding is that I live in the country and plenty of room to run and activities for boarders to keep busy and plenty of fresh air. I have fenced in areas in the event fencing is required. All my boarders are treated just like this is their 2nd home. Crating is here if necessary. Otherwise, sofa's and beds are the number on choice! I am retired so I am home 24/7 unless I block my calendar to go on a vaca myself! Only other thing going on with my schedule is whether I am fully booked or not. I have a outside kennel with A\C and heat if needed for the guests that are used to being the outdorsy ones, if not inside. I have several acres to romp and play in, and for thoses with wondering noses, I have 2 dog runs that they can get plenty of run time in!
“Rachelle did an excellent job caring for my dog. He had such a great time playing with her dogs and came home happy and tired from all the activity. I really appreciated the photo updates throughout the day! It was reassuring to see him having fun and being well cared for. I would highly recommend Rachelle to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“Lindsey is an absolute legend for taking my dog in for a last minute doggy daycare appointment. She was quick to answer my questions and saved us a lot of stress and frustration after we thought we ran out of options for our dog. 10/10 would recommend! Thanks Lindsey!”
“Great daycare experience - Nugget came home happy and tired from playing all day! He had a great experience and we would definitely schedule again! Great communication and wonderful family! Thanks for watching our pup!”

“Valerie was awesome! I didn’t know what I was going to do about doggy daycare on Columbus Day since my normal daycare was shut down for the holiday. Valerie was so personable, and I could see her love for dogs when I first met her! Wish I could use her more, but Clyde is just super familiar with where he typically goes. I highly recommend Valerie! She had to have been very attentive to take so many pics of him! Loved her! She was awesome!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of almost every kind since I was 12. Neighbors, friends, and family have always been able to rely on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. I have always shared a special connection with animals, and would love to meet and bond with yours! Pet care fits into my weekly routine seamlessly. I work as a dental assistant from Monday to Wednesday, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to pet sitting from Thursday to Sunday. This schedule ensures that I have ample time to provide high-quality, consistent care for pets, whether it’s through daily visits, walks, or overnight stays. My flexible schedule during these days allows me to accommodate various pet care needs, ensuring that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment by pet-proofing the space and providing cozy bedding, toys, and access to fresh water and food. I maintain a routine similar to what the pet is used to, including regular feeding times, exercise, and playtime to keep them happy and healthy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain the pet’s normal routine. This includes feeding, walking, playing, and administering any medications if needed. I make sure to keep the home tidy and secure, giving the pet plenty of attention and affection to minimize any stress from being away from their owner. My goal is to provide consistent and loving care, whether at my home or the client’s home.

About: I’ve had dogs of various breeds since a child. I am partial on German Shepherds— something about a headstrong ball of fur is just *chefs kiss* I’ve worked in veterinary clinics, daycares, groomers, and training facilities. I currently have a (smaller) German Shepherd girl who is 6 years old! She’s sweet as pie, loves other dogs, and is smart as a whip. With me, your doggo will be safe, loved on, and exercised throughout the day. I have a small yard area for potty breaks and there are several hiking trails in the neighborhood. There’s also an on-site dog park that we can visit throughout the day. For more willful doggos that need structure, I use positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior, keep a feeding and walking routine, and have a separate area for them to destress, if need be. And for the concerned dog moms and dads, I will send you as many pictures, videos, and updates as you wish! I’m a graduate student and own a remote business, so I’m home ALLLL day. Your fur baby will be supervised 24/7, and roaming free around the house while inside. Feeding and walking is flexible— I want to keep them on whatever schedule they have when with you. The safety and comfort of your and my pet(s) is my main concern. I will not accept bookings with pet parents who refuse meet n’ greets without reason. For longer bookings, I do require a trial day and can pick-up/drop-off your pet for convenience*** I have a small, fenced yard for potty breaks and can take them for walks every 2-4 hours. If you like your fur baby to have crate time, I can arrange that, as well. While not in the home, your pet will be leashed 100% of the time. For puppies, they will have outside time every hour. While in my home, pups can come and go onto the back patio as they please. You’ll also have Pup Cam access from drop-off to pick up, where you can check on your dog 24/7 (so long as they’re within view of the cam). Also, it’s getting hot out! If you have booties for your dog, please bring them!
About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally and personally for several years, and it’s truly something I’m passionate about. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a structured, essential part of the day just like eating or working. • Morning: Feed pets, refresh water, take dogs for a walk or clean litter boxes. • Midday: Walks, playtime, or drop-in visits if providing services to clients. • Evening: Dinner, another walk or potty break, brushing or light grooming. • Safe environment: Pet-proofed spaces, separate areas if needed for different pets. • Feeding on schedule: Following owner instructions exactly, including dietary restrictions. • Exercise/playtime: Supervised yard play, walks. • Comfort & rest: Cozy resting areas, routines that mimic their home life to reduce stress. • Updates to owners: Daily photos or messages to reassure and stay transparent.
“Melissa is great! We have a rambunctious little guy that is very sweet. She was willing to come out and meet him with myself in order to get some familiarity and ensure she could handle him --- she did very well on our short walk. Our dog got along great with her and we are looking forward to continuing working with Melissa!”
About: I own & sit for many years. I’m open to elderly pets. Animals are truly my passion! I understand that everyone needs a vacation from time to time and I’m here to secure the pet sitter option. I work part time so I have plenty of time for drop in and walks! Open to dogs & cats no matter how large or small. I have 3 German shepherds and they are complete opposites. I understand the need & wants from a dog that likes to sleep and occasionally pet and one that has enough energy to play sunrise and way past bedtime.
About: I have experience caring for both my own pets and dogs for acquaintances. I have pet sat two German Shepherds, where I was responsible for feeding them, making sure they had fresh water, wiping them down before letting them in and also letting them out, and spending time playing with them outside. Caring for my own pets has also given me experience with daily feeding routines, cleaning up after them, providing exercise and attention, and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. I enjoy being around animals and understand the importance of being dependable and following each pet’s routine and needs. Since I already care for animals daily, pet care fits naturally into my routine and I’m used to being consistent and responsible with their care. I currently work full-time from 8am to 6pm, so I make sure my pets are taken care of early in the morning before I leave, and they are the first ones I check on and spend time with when I get home. I’m also considering moving to part time so I can have more time available to dedicate to pet care, since spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. In my home, I care for my pets by keeping them on a consistent routine with feeding, fresh water, and daily playtime and attention. I also clean up after them, including litter boxes for my cats and anything needed for my dogs, and just make sure their space stays clean and comfortable. I pay attention to how they’re acting so I can tell if something seems off. In a client’s home, I follow whatever routine the pet is already used to. I stick to feeding and walking instructions, make sure they get attention and exercise, and try to keep them feeling as comfortable and stress free as possible in their own space. I also respect the home and keep everything clean while I’m there.

“Kyrie has been doing a great job with my Brandi girl. This is her first time away with someone other than family members and she settled in really well with him. He has been extremely helpful to ease our parental worries too, along with giving tips about her harness and walking so she doesn't pull as much. He is calm and soft spoken which I feel really is comforting to her as well.”
“Shaniece did a terrific job taking care of our dog. We were out of town for 5 days and I never worried. Shaniece was reliable for drop off and pick up. I will use her again.”
“Thank you for watching Bently. Was unsure of finding someone to care for him online was a good idea. Meeting and talking with Ms Patty made me very comfortable with leaving him, and sending pictures of him enjoying his self put the icing on the cake ?”
“Ms. Cindy was terrific!! Her communication before dropping her off, during our vacation and the picking up process was wonderful. This was our first time utilizing the Rover app, however Ms. Cindy put our minds at ease throughout the entire process. Her care of our beloved Chessie was top notch!! Very personable and helpful! We Highly recommend Ms. Cindy K.!”

“I always worry when I board Sebastien because you always hear horror stories. It's not a facility you can go in and inspect, so you rely on reviews and scrutinize profiles and hope for the best. I didn't worry about Sebastien at all after meeting Adria. She was personable and detail oriented and the exterior of her home was clean and well maintained. She sent pictures and updates and gave me notes on his food. She was also not overwhelmed by his high energy antics. He came home happy and clean! It's such a relief to find someone trustworthy, and I highly recommend!”
“Kaliyah was very welcoming and she stayed in touch with me. I am very grateful for her, I was late coming back and she was very understanding of me being stuck in traffic. I will definitely ask her to keep my baby again”
