“Karen was outstanding! Our 8 year old black lab mix had never been away from home. Karen, her husband and their dog Maggie made Emmy feel right at home from day one. Our shy dog responded so well to their love and care. And, Karen sent photos and videos with reports about Emmy every day! I now call Karen my personal “dog whisperer”! We no longer worry about missing out on travel opportunities because we have to stay home with our dog.”
“We booked with Kimberly to keep Teddy for 5 nights while we were away on our trip. Teddy has epilepsy so requires multiple pills a day as well as other specialities due to his illness. When we first met Kimberly and her husband they were very attentive and asked all the right questions. They even bought cameras to watch Ted if they left as we mentioned that is what we do when do at home. Kimberly made us feel at ease on our trip with daily pictures and messages and reassured any questions we had about Teddy while we were away. We plan to continue to use Kimberly for any trips we take and would strongly recommend her to anyone. Teddy truly seemed sad to leave which we see as a great sign!”
“Anita was a great sitter for my attention loving dog. I could tell my pup enjoyed her stay and and I really appreciated how safe I felt my pet was there (she has done the houdini escape before!) Thank you Anita.”
“Sarah was great. Darby enjoyed her 2 day visit. I was kept up to date on Darby; Sarah was great at communicating and sending pictures. Next time I'm in Georgia, I'm booking with Sarah”
“Beverley was fantastic! She was so accommodating and made herself flexible for a meet and great before our Latte’s first stay with her. She was also extremely attentive to Lattes needs as she was nursing a small leg injury. Beverly even offered to massage her leg at nights. Latte came home tired from all the play time and we could tell she got all the love and attention as if we had been there ourselves.”
“Savannah was very good and and sweet to my dog. She took great care of him. I received pictures and updates multiple times a day. We will definitely bring Lucky back for a visit.”
“My experience with Bella and Ry was excellent! The service was stellar from start to finish. My babies were well cared for, happy, and clearly received plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. Communication was great throughout their stay which put me at ease knowing they were in good hands. I even told Bella and Ry I feel like my babies were at a doggy retreat. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you Bella and Ry you guys are phenomenal!”
“Kelly was outstanding! I am so happy to have found her through Rover. Her description gave lots of detail about the effort she makes to give the dogs a safe and peaceful environment. I felt at ease from the moment she met us at the door with another dog tucked away so that our dog could get acclimated to her new surroundings first. Kelly was very good about sending us photos and updates throughout Pearl’s stay to keep our minds at ease, and I know she gave Pearl lots of snuggles. When we picked her up, she was her usual happy self. I definitely want to use Kelly again next time we are in the area. I feel confident recommending her to any pet parent!”
“Angie was excellent! I’m so glad we found her. She sent updates everyday and was great at communicating. From the first time we met, we knew we could trust her with our Beau. Will definitely be booking Angie again! Thank you so much.”
“The pups had a blast, evident from the photos and videos Maria & Ken sent to me during the stay. They gave me daily updates which I very much appreciated receiving. Maria & Ken were attentive to the dogs needs and obviously spoiled them rotten. Thanks so much for all you did for my guys. I will definitely book again with Maria & Ken.”
“Jennie was absolutely fantastic and we highly recommend if one is looking for a excellent sitter. This was the first time we left our pup and she sent videos and pictures on a routine basis, which placed us at ease!”
“Megan did an amazing job watching our dog! She sent us daily updates with photos and had great communication throughout the entire stay. Our dog loved it over there.”
“Left my dog with Deandra for first time. I’d say she went the extra mile with him in his care for his needs. She has open yard space for the dogs to play. It felt like a doggy day care/ dog park so he was well entertained with the other dogs. I’d def recommend her.”
“Ashli was so wonderful! Our dog thoroughly enjoyed her stay and she was very well taken care of! Ashli’s backyard is amazing, which is super important to us - very safe fence for all dogs, even small ones (ours is 10 pounds). We got great daily updates that made our day while we were away. We will be using her again! Definitely recommend. 5 stars!”
“Michele did an amazing job looking after our pooch. She was a great communicator and sent updates with photos on a regular basis so I was stress free the whole time I was away. They have a big back yard so there was plenty of space for my dog to run around. Highly recommend!”

“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Caylen provided for our old man. She handled his shyness with such patience and kindness, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well being. She was extremely punctual, dependable, and consistently went above and beyond. Her communication was excellent throughout our time away, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that he was in great hands. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
“Katie is the best caregiver for your fur babies you could ask for. She’s patient when your little ones may be shy and persistent when medication may be required. I would recommend her to anyone who may be looking for someone who will care for your pet as your own.”
“Mindy is great. She was very responsive leading up to and during the window of service she provided. My cats warmed up to her quickly. I was very satisfied and highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to assist with taking care of your cats. She will undoubtedly be my first choice for my future drop-in needs.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve helped neighbors, family members, and friends by pet sitting, dog walking, and providing loving care while they’re away. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for when you can’t be with them. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to provide peace of mind for pet parents. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility to provide pets with plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. On days I work from home (which is Monday, Thursday and Friday) I’m able to be present and attentive, and on office days (Tuesdays and Wednesday's) I plan my schedule carefully to ensure pets receive the care they need. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. I treat my mini dachshund like he is my child. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether that’s going for walks, going to the park, playing, providing cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I also have a nanny cam that I check in on when I am away. I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. As a mini dachshund owner, I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pet. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, love, and care while you’re away. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs in my home before and always work to make them feel comfortable by sticking to their normal routines as much as possible. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule and any specific instructions to help their pet feel safe, comfortable, and stress free. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“Payton was great! She was communicative and followed all care instructions exactly as requested. Everything was handled smoothly, and I appreciated the thoughtful attention to my cats. Would book again!”
“Thank you so much Claudia for keeping a check on our “old man”. I appreciate you tidying everything up and leaving the key back. I’m sure Liam looked forward to you coming even though he kept to himself. If we ever need services again you are who we will call!! Thank you once again!!”
“Valerie is an absolute gem with Kleo (cat) and did such a wonderful job taking such good care of my kitty while I was away on a business trip for 11 days. She is accommodating, followed any instructions I left to a T, sent me tons of pictures and well written updates, and Kleo was happy as a clam when I got home. Valerie is by far the best pet sitter and Kitty Friend I could ask for! Thank you so so much. :)”
“Ana was wonderful with Buddy while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. Buddy can be very picky and set in his routines, and Ana was incredibly patient and caring with him. We truly appreciated the updates, attention, and care she provided throughout the week. It made it so much easier for us to relax knowing he was being looked after so well. We’re very grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet sitter. 💛”
“We had a last-minute emergency and needed a cat sitter on incredibly short notice, and Melissa absolutely saved the day! From the start, she was completely reliable and arrived right on time, which gave us immense peace of mind during a stressful situation. Our cats are used to having someone around all the time and can get quite lonely when left alone. They can also be a bit shy, but they must have felt comfortable with her instantly because they didn't hide at all! Instead, they came out to play, interact, and spend time with her. On top of taking excellent care of them, she went above and beyond by sweeping up the litter they tend to kick onto the floor. We couldn't be more grateful for her help and will absolutely be keeping Melissa in mind for our future sitting needs. Highly recommended!”
“Lydia was great with my two babies (cats)! She was very attentive and caring. She did her best to let my two little guys know that they were not alone even though I imagine they thought they were! She showed up on time and followed my directions! Would most definitely use her again.”
“Lindsey was wonderful! She kept me informed every day about my baby. And she was so sweet to my little blind kitty. She was able to do her meds daily and kept everything spotless. Will be booking again!!”
“Valerie is so great with our boys! She’s always on time for drop-in appointments and always sends pictures to show us how they are doing. When we go out for town it’s a comfort knowing that they are in good hands with her.”
“Brian did a fabulous job with our sweet cat Dooley. When we returned we found the litter box pristine & he sent great feedback & pictures while we were away. I will def use Brian again.”
“Michelle was fantastic! We have a crew of cats that have some special requests (e.g. dietary restrictions and rotations since some don’t get along) and Michelle did a wonderful job checking on them and giving them some attention in our absence. Always a relief when you find someone you can trust!”

About: I work from home and would love to host and care for your fur babies while you are at work or away on vacation. I have loved animals of all types my entire life. My husband and I formerly rescued and fostered multiple rat terriers and placed them in loving homes through an organization called New Rattitude. I currently have a volunteer position with the same organization as a microchip coordinator. While I was in high school and college I worked for two animal clinics in the Metro Atlanta area and volunteered with local animal shelters. My family pets over the past 22 years were 2 Rat Terriers and 2 Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mixes that all lived to be seniors. I have experience in caring for dogs of all ages. Since I am at home so much, your dogs will be not be lonely, they will be doted on and treated like royalty. I have a large fenced in yard for sniffing, exercise and exploration. I only take one client at a time. I do not have any pets of my own. Yours will have my undivided attention and care. I will update you with photos and status reports on a daily basis. Please understand that while we have experience with senior dogs and dogs with special needs, we are currently unable to book dogs that are experiencing incontinence (even with diapers) and night time pacing/spatial disorientation/sleeplessness that comes with senility. Since I work from home, I will keep your dog on any required schedule such as medications, supplements, specific feeding times, and potty breaks. Playtimes and naptimes will be intermittent throughout the day. I have comfy doggie beds throughout the house and under my office desk. My home is clean and safe. I have a secure, fenced in yard with many areas to explore and space to run around. All gates are padlocked. I also stay outside with the dogs that are in my care. I leave a full bowl of water out 24 -7. I allow dogs to sleep in my bed if that is what they are accustomed to, I can also crate them if that is preferred. Your dog(s) will be safe and happy as guests in my home. I have a Red Cross Certification in Pet First Aid in the rare occasion there would be a need. I am also sensitive to dogs with thunder and firework fears, we have a comfy furnished basement space that mutes the bad sounds and we hang out there until everything calms down.
“Lina was a lifesaver in responding to our needs for a dog sitter. Not only did she take excellent care of our lab puppy, she was very flexible in pick up and drop off times in a week where we had a family member hospitalized. We are very grateful.”
About: I have always loved and cared for dogs. I welcome the opportunity to help in whatever capacity is needed. I can walk, play with, feed and give your pup the amount of love and attention they deserve and more. You will have nothing to worry about if you reach out to me. I am trustworthy and honest and have nothing but your dogs best interest at heart. I am in Acworth and closer to both Kennesaw and Woodstock. I am currently looking to take Rover work as it arises with no other job to interfere so that I can give my full attention to caring for your pet. I am currently able to make dog walking visits at your home and can take boarding in my home if I am free. Anything your pet needs, I will do my best to accommodate.

Additionally, I'm available for in-home boarding, dog walks at your home, or boarding in your home. As a family, we prioritize the comfort and well-being of your pet, ensuring they feel at home. We only use crates during feeding times to prevent any issues such as allergies or stomach problems that may arise from other dogs eating each other's food.

About: In addition to common dog owner knowledge I am also equipped with exceptional K-9 to human communication skills that will help me make nervous, unsettled, shy, or anxious pets adjust to their temporary lodging. I acquired these skills during 10 years of K-9 protection handling and training education and practice along with 15 years of bodywork with a concentration in myofascial release. I can take pets on short notice for as long as necessary. Your dog(s) will not interact with other dogs while in my care, unless previously discussed. The interior of my 2500 sf home has the space and configuration to allow up to 4 dogs to be separated into their own "living" spaces. Having two of may own, I will only take two dogs as a time. I will provide exceptional care and 24/7 attention. Why I love dog sitting My entire life, personal and professional, has been with dogs afoot. I enjoy discovering their individual personalities. Meet my pets I have two Pomeranians. About my yard Fenced, however I prefer to hand walk client's pets. I am a jogger so if your pet is used to jogging each day for exercise we can make that happen. My experience administering medication I am happy to administer any necessary medications and supplements. I have been doing so for as long as I can remember, IV, IM, topical, and oral. I build my schedule around clients needs. Mine eat at 8 AM and 6 pm and get outside for fresh air and a bio bark every 4-5 hours. In a client's home, I leave absolutely no trace I have ben there. Extreme attention to detail, respect for your environment, and I follow instructions with precision. In my home, I follow the schedule I am given and keep a low and slow approach, giving them space, time, and calm/quiet emotional support to adjust. In both environments you will receive videos, pics, and updates multiple times per day.
About: I can teach basic tricks/commands like, sit, down, up, paw, touch, kiss, spin, and speak. And I will love and care for your pet. 🖤 I’m currently working from home with a flexible schedule, so I’ll have plenty of spare time to play, snuggle, and care for your furry friend. Plus friendly furry friends to play with. I have a pet friendly home, a fenced yard, lots of toys, different sized crates if needed, dog beds, extra bowls, harnesses, leashes, and more.
About: I have been caring for pets for over 20 years now. Experience with both dogs and cats. I love to spoil your pets and will treat them like family.. We purposefully don’t take a lot of animals at a time so that your dog will have the individual attention they need. We go out of our way to make your dog feel right at home!! I currently work out of the house mostly so am in and out throughout the day. I am usually home throughout the day. I am able to give your animal the love and care that it needs. I have a large home with dog leads outside so that they can spend time outside if they want to. Depending on training and size, we allow dogs on our couch to relax.
“Kelsey and Marcus were such a great match for Freda. When I picked her up, she was so happy and I knew she was treated with the utmost love and enjoyment. I would definitely have Freda stay with them again when Freda needs a safe and caring place to stay!”
“Karen was able to help us out at the last minute and was such a huge help! She sent updates throughout the day on how Winnie was doing and her antics. She was flexible with our pickup and Winnie came home exhausted from a full day of play!”
About: Not only do I currently have seven dogs of my own, I’ve also breed mastiffs, and worked in the dog kennel industry since I was 15. I have grown up with dogs, my whole life, and now have a bunch of my own. I have experience with administering medication to dogs, taking care of senior dogs, and puppies. I am currently a stay at home mom with a seven year-old girl and a four year-old boy so I am at home with them and we Homeschool so our schedule stays open and I am home every day every week and here to let the dogs out every two hours minimum. I already have a rotation for my dogs, so it is quite easy for me to add another into the mix. I do crate and rotate my dogs. We have a large fenced in yard and throughout the day starting at 6 AM I start rotating groups of dogs in and out of the house all the way until 10:30 PM. I only feed and crates as I believe that is the safest option. I have 12 years of dog caring experience on top of having my own mini kennel in my home. I have a lot of experience working in a kennel and taking care of dogs that I take dog safety very seriously. I do not let Dogs run around after having water or food to prevent bloat. And I will always slowly introduce dogs in a correct manner as well as keep dogs in groups. I am also home almost all day everyday to stay with the dogs as well.

“Claudia has been fantastic in going to walk Bodhi. She’s communicative and takes lots of pictures & Bodhi really likes their walking adventures. He was very receptive of her from the first meeting so I’m thrilled to have her stopping by a few times a week to take him outside while I’m at work.”

“Ana does a great job with Daisy! Daisy loves to go on walks with her. We've had Ana walk Daisy many times and we are very happy with her services. I definitely recommend her 😊”
About: I grew up on a farm. My mom rescued animals, so caring for animals is a right of passage in my family. It's not a "side hustle" for me. It's my passion, my dream, my purpose. I have a degree in Psychology, own two businesses and I'm a mom of two amazing kids. I have five shih tzus at the moment along with a variety of exotic animals. I have tons of experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea Pigs, turtles (both aquatic and land), and fish. When I encounter a new species, I go over and beyond to learn everything about them and spare no expense to make sure they thrive and happy. I have experience with puppies, seniors, special needs, post-up recovery, medications, bathing, daily brushing, grooming, nail trims, etc. Your babies are my babies and they will be looking forward to play time with me, giving you a peace of mind while you have to be away. 🥰 I own my own house cleaning business, so my schedule is quite flexible. I'm working mostly in a 15 minute radius, and I have cameras in every room, so I can check in on my babies and drop by if they need me. I have a large fenced yard and several separate play areas in case I have babies that need some alone time. Inside I also have gates and play areas to ensure your pets' safety and provide quiet areas if they seem over stimulated or anxious.
About: If there's a cat or dog at a party, you'll probably find me sitting on the floor making friends with them. As a cat mom to three torties [a kitten and two seniors] animals are a huge part of my life. I genuinely love getting to know each pet's personality and earning their trust. From playful kittens and puppies to sweet senior pets, I have experience caring for animals of all ages, including administering medication when needed. I'll care for your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. 🤍 I am flexible and can accommodate timing to your pets schedule. Whether they need a morning drop-in, a midday walk, or a full playtime session, I can tend to your fur baby's needs. Upon greeting them, I provide full attention to your pet. I will give them play time, cuddles, and any designated meals or medications. I ensure they feel secure and calm while their loved one is away.
About: I've had at least one pet in my house my whole life. I've always been the one in charge of walking them, feeding them, cleaning up after them, and the like. I've had both cats and dogs throughout my life so I have great affinity and affection for both. I'm currently in-between jobs right now, as the video editing market is troubles at the moment, so I have a good amount of free time available to me. I have a car and can drive the distance needed to take care of your pet. I would have no trouble creating, walking, or taking care of your pet based on your needs.
About: I've grown up around dogs my whole life — shih tzus, pitbulls, boxers, labs, german shepherds, pugs, and more. My first job was at a pet boarding facility where I cared for dogs of all ages, taking them on walks, trips to the pool, and even managing medication. Dogs hold such a special place in my heart that I still volunteer at animal shelters in my free time - I truly cannot imagine life without them. Your pup will be treated like family, and I will always communicate quickly and clearly. I'm a college student who loves to be active and can't wait to get outside with your pup! I'm available before 4pm on weekdays and I'm always flexible and willing to work around whatever works best for you and your dog. 😊 When caring for your dog in their own home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, and comfortable. I will follow your routine exactly so your pup's schedule stays consistent and stress free. At home I have two Shih Tzus and a doodle who are on daily medication, so I'm no stranger to providing meds and keeping a consistent routine. You'll receive photo updates throughout every visit so you never have to wonder how they're doing, and I always make sure your home is secure before I leave.

Just let me know and I can get you a coupon code to save on your first booking! I look forward to meeting with you and your furry family!! I am available anytime pet care is what I do! Unless I have other clients scheduled, on occasion so schedule flexibility is important mostly because of traffic and travel time. I started my own company again and keep my Rover calendar updated however, sometimes it doesn’t update correctly. Best thing to do is contact me. I prefer to visit with your pet in your home. It’s a lot less stressful and safer for them to be left in their own familiar surroundings when possible. When I visit I follow your instructions as to what is needed. Of course this varies from visit to visit depending on the schedule you have for them. Before I leave I make sure they’re safe and secure. I know what it’s like to leave your pet at home and the worries that come with it. You can trust that I will be there for them so you can leave your worries behind too!

“Karen was outstanding! Our 8 year old black lab mix had never been away from home. Karen, her husband and their dog Maggie made Emmy feel right at home from day one. Our shy dog responded so well to their love and care. And, Karen sent photos and videos with reports about Emmy every day! I now call Karen my personal “dog whisperer”! We no longer worry about missing out on travel opportunities because we have to stay home with our dog.”
“Anita was a great sitter for my attention loving dog. I could tell my pup enjoyed her stay and and I really appreciated how safe I felt my pet was there (she has done the houdini escape before!) Thank you Anita.”
“Sarah was great. Darby enjoyed her 2 day visit. I was kept up to date on Darby; Sarah was great at communicating and sending pictures. Next time I'm in Georgia, I'm booking with Sarah”
“Kelly was outstanding! I am so happy to have found her through Rover. Her description gave lots of detail about the effort she makes to give the dogs a safe and peaceful environment. I felt at ease from the moment she met us at the door with another dog tucked away so that our dog could get acclimated to her new surroundings first. Kelly was very good about sending us photos and updates throughout Pearl’s stay to keep our minds at ease, and I know she gave Pearl lots of snuggles. When we picked her up, she was her usual happy self. I definitely want to use Kelly again next time we are in the area. I feel confident recommending her to any pet parent!”
“Angie was excellent! I’m so glad we found her. She sent updates everyday and was great at communicating. From the first time we met, we knew we could trust her with our Beau. Will definitely be booking Angie again! Thank you so much.”
“The pups had a blast, evident from the photos and videos Maria & Ken sent to me during the stay. They gave me daily updates which I very much appreciated receiving. Maria & Ken were attentive to the dogs needs and obviously spoiled them rotten. Thanks so much for all you did for my guys. I will definitely book again with Maria & Ken.”
“Jennie was absolutely fantastic and we highly recommend if one is looking for a excellent sitter. This was the first time we left our pup and she sent videos and pictures on a routine basis, which placed us at ease!”
“Megan did an amazing job watching our dog! She sent us daily updates with photos and had great communication throughout the entire stay. Our dog loved it over there.”
“Left my dog with Deandra for first time. I’d say she went the extra mile with him in his care for his needs. She has open yard space for the dogs to play. It felt like a doggy day care/ dog park so he was well entertained with the other dogs. I’d def recommend her.”
“Michele did an amazing job looking after our pooch. She was a great communicator and sent updates with photos on a regular basis so I was stress free the whole time I was away. They have a big back yard so there was plenty of space for my dog to run around. Highly recommend!”
“Cynthia did a great job taking care of my puppy Ringo. She gave me a lot of updates and pictures on him and she took him last minute which was amazing. I would recommend her to all my friends and family and I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Coco left a very happy dog! I plan to utilize this family regularly. So happy my dog had kids and another dog to play with— not to mention a yard to play in. Thank you so much for the excellent service!”
“Review for Angie, Our Pet Sitter We recently had the pleasure of entrusting our beloved golden, Islay, to Angie for 8 days, and it was truly one of the best experiences for our fur baby. Angie, along with Estovan, provided exceptional care at their home, creating a warm and loving environment that made Islay feel right at home. Their attentiveness, kindness, and genuine affection for Islay were evident from the start. Angie and Estovan are truly angels for our fur baby, going above and beyond to ensure Islay's comfort and happiness. We couldn't have asked for better pet sitters and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their pets. Islay was very comfortable and was actually missing them so much. We continued to receive regular updates and pictures. We ar eso glad to have found such wonderful People thru Rover. I am Always going to sit my islay at Angie’s. Thanks a zillion Angie. You guys are the best.”
“Mikayla did a great job taking care of our pup. She was so sweet in every communication, gave us daily updates, and we could tell our pup was happy to stay with her. Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Benny is always well taken care of when he stays with Nhung. He always returns calm and relaxed. He recently stayed with her for a little more than two weeks and I got photos and updates every day. I’m thankful to have found her!”
“This is the first time we have used River and Flavia was nothing short of exceptional. We usually have family members or neighbors take care of my babies but it wasn’t possible this time around. Flavia picked up my pups which was super helpful. She sent me videos of them to make sure I knew they were having fun. Flavia was understanding and willing to go the extra mile to make my pups feel at home. I will definitely be using Flavia again and I recommend her to anyone who is on the fence about using Rover to find a dog sitter! Thank you Flavia!”
“We have an American Bully and because of the breed she normally gets shied away from He didn’t hesitate on taking her in, and was amazing with her. Sent pics of her daily and was available to talk if needed. HIGHLY recommend him!”
