“This is our second time boarding our golden doodle puppy with Greg and it’s always been a pleasant stay for our dog. He’s quick with messaging and sends daily photos. Zephyr is very friendly and Scotch loves to play with him. Greg made our experience with boarding worry-free and we will definitely book with him again in the future.”
“Bambi loved Tracy and immediately felt comfortable with her, I received updates on Bambi everyday, I like that she sent me pictures too, he had friends and lots of love while he was there. Tracy also asked very good questions about how to best care for Bambi and that’s just showing how much she really cares🩷 your pup will definitely be happy with her and it’s so relaxing to be on your trip knowing your fur baby is in good hands, I highly recommend her and will for sure be booking again in the future🍀”
“This was Phoebes second time staying with Jacque, and she had a blast! Jacque went above and beyond showering Phoebe with love and care. She sent us lots of updates of Phoebe and you could tell from the photos how much fun she was having. I’d highly recommend Jacque!”
“We left Lucky with Emma for 2 weeks. Our first to be away from each other for that long. We missed her alot but Emma regularly updated us with videos and photos which we very much appreciated. Usually shy, we saw that she was having a great time and even made a best friend. We came back to a more outgoing and relaxed Lucky! Thanks auntie Emma!”
“Joel was great with my mini Australian shepherd! He sent lots of photos that gave us peace of mind that our dog was doing great and was so well cared for! 😊 Thanks Joel!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Diana was amazing! She kept us updated on our dogs activities during their stay with her and her family. It's very obvious that she loves animals. We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Jessica took great care of our dog. We got updates with pictures and videos on a daily basis. He got a lot of exercise in their fenced in yard. We would definitely use again!”
“Haily did an amazing job taking care of Oakley! She far exceeded my expectations. She would update me daily on Oakley’s day, send tons of pictures and even videos of him playing with her pups! You can tell how much she loves and cares for each pup she watches. Oakley loved his stay, and did not want to leave ? I will definitely book with Haily again!”
“My dog stayed with Martha and her family for a few days while I was away. She took great care of him, and followed all the instructions I gave. I think he enjoyed it there more than being at home! I would highly recommend Martha to anyone in the area, and I will be using her services again.”
“Pei was amazing. He was able to accommodate our three dogs on very short notice. His property is fantastic for dogs, huge grass area, luxe kennels, and fully enclosed. Even though it was short notice he took the time to learn about my dogs and provided pictures and updates during their stay. Highly recommend trusting Pei with your fur babies, he treated our like they were his own.”
“Kea would love to stay with Katharine and David again. He was very well taken care of. He was able to go on an adventure. He liked having his walks and making new friends!”
“Scarlett had a great time & did not want to leave her! She was able to adjust her schedule with short notice and would send photos periodically as an update ! Definitely a repeat customer here ! Thanks again !”
“Angela took such great care of our golden! She was extremely communicative, flexible, and kept us updated with lots of photos and details. She was even accommodating to unique and inconvenient pick up/drop off times and we felt completely comfortable leaving our pup in her care. We will definitely book with her again and recommend her and her family for any and all of your pet care needs!”
“KaVina was ABSOLUTELY amazing with my l lil man (Deuce). She kept the pics & videos coming. You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”
“McKenley was great. She kept me informed on how Bullet was doing everyday. Numerous pictures everyday. I definitely recommend her and look forward to using her again.”
About: I have experience caring for German Shepherds and mixed breed dogs, including high energy pups like my own dog, Atlas. I’m comfortable working with active dogs that enjoy playtime, long walks, and staying mentally and physically engaged. I’m very consistent with routines and make sure pets are fed on time, taken out for scheduled potty breaks, and given plenty of attention throughout the day. I also have experience administering oral medications and always follow instructions carefully to ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well being are always my top priority, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently not working, so I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule. Aside from brief outings like the gym or grocery runs, I’m able to provide consistent care, timely feedings, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Due to my schedule, I’m able to stick closely to feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special care needs throughout the day. Because I’m home often, pets are rarely left alone and get consistent supervision, companionship, and routine.

About: I’ve always had a special affinity towards cats, I have experience with all kinds, from energetic and playful, to old and sleepy, and even the tricky ones that don’t trust easily. I respect cats and truly think it’s important to listen to their body language to cater to how they feel.
About: Aloha. I'm Summer. I am a stay-at-home wife and mom looking to bring in some extra income. I have loved animals since forever. I grew up with pets (dogs, cats, a rabbit, and fish). I have experience house sitting with pets, dog walking, and worked in an animal hospital. I don't have any fur babies of my own yet, but I do have a fur nephew, Ninja who I love very much. I am able to give medication if needed. I'm currently available Monday through Friday in the morning to the early afternoons. Weekends I am typically unavailable, but for the right pet, I can adjust my schedule. I will care for your home and your pet as if it's my family. I am respectful of boundaries, and rules even if it doesn't line up with my own beliefs. I understand that pets are very important to families and would never take that lightly.
“Immaculate service, communication, and attention to detail. Got home and the cats’ first reaction was asking when Rebecca was coming back! Her ability to connect with even our shy little one was touching - with lots of photos and video as evidence. Very responsive and reliable. Highly recommend!”
“Laura did an excellent job taking care of my cats while I was out of town for the weekend. Great communication during the entire weekend too. Highly recommend her service if you are in need of a pet sitter. Thanks so much Laura!!”
“Andrea was wonderful. She took great care of our shy boy Julius and went above and beyond. We were so grateful to know we had someone kind, caring and responsible while we were away. We will definitely hire her again!”
“Absolutely fantastic dog sitter. Latai is so attentive and took such great care of my two dogs. My work schedule is always changing and she was so flexible and patient with me. I highly recommend her!!”
About: “Must love cats”- 🐈⬛ Always ensuring a clean litter box, clean food + water bowls, proper meals, and love (if wanted). I have always appreciated the independence of cats & how they know what they want. Play time or naps, I always make sure your kitty is happy! I am experienced with medication giving as well.
About: A few of my friends got cats during covid and I started watching them when the world opened up and My friend's started traveling again. I can feed cats, clean litter boxes, and give them some play time. One set of kittens I took hiking in their outdoor backpack!
About: Aloha 🌈 I am a cat owner and have fostered several in the past. I have also done cat walking and sitting previously on another app in Los Angeles. I’m good with reactive cats as well as super social cats. I’m happy to clean litter boxes and feed as needed. It’s all about the vibes with kitties so I won’t cross their boundaries if they don’t want me to! 🐈⬛
“Leonard was great! Kept my 3 cats alive and well! Gave me great peace of mind knowing they were well cared for when I went back to the mainland to deal with my mom's care.”
About: I have owned a cat and dog my whole life and now that my dog is very old I know how to handle senior dogs very well. I have also had my share of experience with feisty cats. I love all animals especially cats and dogs and can’t wait to meet yours! I’m working full time so I usually do weekends but I can also probably do after work as well. I’m very flexible with my schedule. For a drop in, I would let them out to go to the bathroom and play with them to get a bunch of their energy out. I would also refill their bowls if needed as well as any other requests given to me.

About: 🌺 I will be on hiatus for dog services July-August for recovery. I will reopen dog services mid August!🌺 I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including more than 5 years as a kennel assistant and 5 years as a veterinary assistant. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve developed strong skills in administering medications, including insulin and asthma treatments. My time in a veterinary hospital has also given me valuable experience working with animals of all temperaments, allowing me to stay calm, patient, and attentive in any situation. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your pet gets my complete time, attention, and care. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, and that their time with me is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have 5 years of veterinary medical experience and feel confident providing a wide range of care for pets of all needs—from those requiring more involved medical support to those who simply need extra love and cuddles. I take cleanliness and safety seriously, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing between each client to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for your furry friend.
About: My dogs have always been my best friends. I have had experience with small, medium, and large dogs. I am careful to listen to and respect the routine and rules that you have for your fur baby, no matter how big or small. I’m a big fan of taking them for walks on the beach and shady hikes! I also love a good excuse to drive around looking for a good place for my pup to stretch her legs, or be a good cuddle buddy. I am currently a small business owner in private practice as a healthcare provider. Dog sitting was something I loved doing for many years, but paused to do to care for my senior dog for the last 3 years. After recently losing her, and not being ready for a new love of my own, I’d be honored for the opportunity to care for your pet. I live in Kaaawa but am able to travel anywhere on island to care for your pet(s). Thank you for reading my profile, & I hope to hear from you soon! I work from home doing telehealth, largely from 11-4 M/W/F so I have lots of time and breaks to spend with your pet. I spend most days at home, able to provide exercise and maintain routine feeding throughout the day. I am used to administering meds on a schedule and provide frequent updates to owners (if they’d like!). I am careful to follow the house rules and your pet’s routine. I know it takes a lot of trust for someone to care for your fur baby, and I am a trusted member of the community. I am transparent about my stay in your home and understand it is a privilege to be there and be trusted to care for your animal. I provide lots of play time and cuddles! I always leave homes cleaner than they are left. My reviews are older because of the break I took from Rover to care for my senior pup, but I still value the same service.
“Shauna greeted us friendly and was able to see in early morning. Our family went to Kualoa Ranch which has no pet policy so we had Shauna for few hours. After pet sitting, my dog vomited few times since he ate sitter's dog food and I haven't been informed that.”
“Tracey and her family is awesome. My dog felt so comfortable in her home and I loved all the pictures they sent me. Thank you! We will definitely be back ❤️”
About: A retired marine biologist. I have had dogs my entire life. Raised puppies and watched them grow old. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Retired. I’m available most days if you need your pets to be simply fed, let out to pee, or to be entertained. While I take same day requests, there are no guarantees because I have several regularly scheduled walks and drop ins. Please reply promptly, I archive when no response in 24 hours. I have a fenced yard and a young corgi who has full run of the house. He can be shy to other dogs. If your dog has any aggressive tendencies or Keahi does not get along with them for whatever reason, we cannot board your dog. Meet and greets are mandatory before any boarding or daycare. Dogs must be house trained for boarding or daycare (paper trained is not house trained). I cannot and will not leave food out. If your dog has issues eating when they are fed (I feed them when I feed my dog), I have to take your dog’s food away and store it. This is a house, not a kennel where your dog has an assigned lot. If your dog has these feeding issues, consider another sitter. I have no kids on property.
“My 1 year old lab loves being at Dale and Lauren’s for doggy day care. Lauren sent us many pictures/videos throughout the day and I could tell my fur baby was having so much fun. I trust them 100% to take great care of my girl, Violet. We already booked boarding for another stay coming up! Definitely would recommend to anyone interested!”
“Rebekah and Nova are the best! My little dog LOVES to spend the day with them - he always looks so content when I pick him up. She’s so considerate and very flexible. I highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals (dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs) my whole life. I also managed a dog daycare & boarding shop for 7 years and am a certified vet assistant. I’m an aspiring kickboxer and run around throughout the day, however my family helps with dogs that are boarding overnight. Dogs have access to the yard 24/7 to use the bathroom/run around 😊 I have done dog boarding for 10 years at my own home. We have 4 large dogs but they are very used to having friends over. We have a double fenced yard and additional gates for extra safety (for escape artists)
“Truffles had such a lovely time with Sherrie & family. They took such great care of him, giving lots of love and play and activities for him to do. He has lots of great memories, and I definitely recommend Sherrie and will rebook.”
About: My main goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels happy and safe. I treat them like part of the family and do my best to make them feel comfortable and at home. I do Rover full-time, so your dog(s) will always have company. I keep it to just two dogs at a time so they get plenty of attention. I do not own any pets, so there will be no need for your pup(s) to get acquainted with other pets during their stay with me.
“After my last river sister moved away, I was a apprehensive about someone else watching Thumper. Hailey and Benjamin made everything easy from the first meet and great, slowly introducing their dogs one at a time and then letting them all roam around their yard, to the first drop off. Thumper was a bit nervous when he was dropped off, but slowly calmed down and enjoyed himself there. Everything made me calm down as well. I got a check-in update and lots of pictures. I am excited for his next visit and glad I found someone that both Thumper and I are both comfortable with!!!!”

About: Our oldest dog is 5 years old, being an intelligent, high energy breed she’s taught me everything I know! I wanted to start dog sitting specifically for military families, so you can be confident your pets are in good hands for an affordable price when you need to leave the island or are working long hours! MUST have access onto Hickam military base I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home! I have plenty of time and space to give your pets the attention they need I keep my dogs on a strict feeding/potty schedule and pay attention to their cues, I can provide the same level of care and attention to detail for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and the AC is always on!
About: Hi! I’m Becky, and I absolutely love animals. I’ve spent my life around both dogs and cats and have extensive experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My own dog recently passed away, and we miss her every day. While our family isn’t in a position to have a pet of our own right now, we truly love having animals around and enjoy every opportunity to care for them. I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present throughout the day. If your pet is boarding with us, they won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I have the autonomy in my job to take breaks for walks, playtime, potty breaks, belly rubs, fetch sessions, or simply spending quality time with your pet. When your pet stays with us, they’ll be treated like part of the family and loved as if they were our own. I have two young children who are gentle, kind, and respectful of animals. Because of this, I only accept pets that are comfortable around children. Whether your pet prefers long walks, active playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having company throughout the day, I’m happy to accommodate their needs and routine. I care for both dogs and cats and will do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Thanks, Becky Wheeler We can work around your pets schedule. If they have a routine they are used to, let us know and we can accommodate that :) if there are rules your dog follows in your home, let us know and we will do our very best to follow the same rules in our home. I have a big fenced yard or a big comfy couch. Your pet will be able to choose if he/she wants to be outside or inside throughout the day.
“Keyshla has gone above and beyond for our fur babies! We are very thankful for the care she provides and we know our dogs are always safe when we drop them off to her. Thank you so much Keyshla!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese who was my best friend, and since then I've been the go to dog sitter for friends and family. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including Huskies, Border Collies, Poodles, Shiba Inus, and many more. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and tend to treat them like my own kids. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or keeping them company while you're away, I'll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work from home so I'm pretty flexible. The earlier we communicate the more flexibility I have. Typically more available in the afternoons and evenings I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel a little nerve wracking, so I'll do my best to make it easy for both you and your pup! Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I'll follow their usual routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you're away.

About: I have taken care of and had dogs my whole life! I had four dogs growing up as a kid that I watched while my parents went away, and now I have a fur baby of my own! I am a school psychologist by day :) Looking for something to on weekends on this beautiful island! Happy to take your dog out for weekend walks As the mom of an anxious pup, I am familiar with how to care for, leave, and greet your pup! I am familiar with crating dogs before leaving, sneaking out, or just saying goodbye!
“I have waited to review MaryAnn until after 2 weeks of walking my lab Megan. She has been a godsend and treats Megan wonderfully. My wife and I can't keep up with the attention Megan needs as we got older than we expected due to circumstances. MaryAnn has been walking Megan regularly 4 times per week as we wanted, Megan has a big yard so she can get out as needed, but walks provide socialization that the dog needs. We are thrilled with MaryAnn and how great she is to our dog. Anyone wanting a really good dog walker would be lucky to have MaryAnn.”
“Carli was so wonderful while we were away for a trip. She was timely, communicative, and extremely sweet. My dogs would wait at the door for her when they knew it was approaching the time of her arrival. My family who were home (but unable to walk them) said my pups always came back tired and content. For my dogs, tired dogs are definitely happy dogs! We will absolutely be booking with Carli again for our future walking needs.”
“Joshua did an amazing job walking Otis. He took adorable pictures, gave Otis treats, and took great care of him. Otis came back happy and well-exercised. Highly recommend Joshua for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!”

About: Aloha 🌈 I have been a pet owner for the last 11 years (dogs, cats, goats and ducks) and walked professionally on another app for 3 years in Los Angeles. I’m trustworthy and patient with reactive pets and am open to whatever your friend may need! I can take short walks, long walks, hikes, beach swims and really any activity your pet likes. I just love to be outside with animals. I can also visit at home and give lots of belly rubs and home care if that’s what’s needed. I have had elderly dogs as well and am happy and comfortable to provide special care for them. Great with huskies and couch potatoes alike. I am currently working an on-call position and always have Mondays and Tuesday off with fluctuating schedules week to week. I am available before 1pm every day though. I do travel occasionally. I will keep to your home rules and needs based on how you care for your pets. If they have a crate or area, they will be secured on your request with whatever food/water/ snacks are needed. I always prefer owners to provide snacks as many animals have allergies. I am happy to fulfill any special requests like feeding or medications.

We can enjoy walks around the neighborhood, runs or swims at the beach, or fetch at home or the park. I always make sure to scan the surrounding environment to ensure the utmost safety and care.

About: I got my first dog when I was 4 and started dog sitting for neighbors when I was 8. I worked with a group when I lived in Kansas City that did short term in-home dog fostering for 1 day to two weeks. My puppy experience comes from a few of my friends having puppies, but adult dogs are my favorite. I work full time from home, and can schedule walks in between meetings during the day. If the dog(s) are up for it I would love to take them hiking, SUPing, kayaking, to the beach, and to hang out with my friend's dogs. I prefer to keep the dog on a similar schedule to what they are used to and not overwhelm them with new experiences while their owners are gone. Please provide me with the needed information of your dog's routine.
About: I’ve cared for friends and family dogs since 2020, offering boarding, sitting, and even basic training to keep pups happy and learning. I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Pup care fits easily into my daily routine since I currently have plenty of free time and love spending it with animals. I’m living on base and unemployed right now, so my schedule is very flexible — which means I can give pets my full attention for walks, playtime, and keeping them comfortable throughout the day. Your pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every walk is safe, fun and suited to their energy level. If your pup prefers staying cozy at home, I’m just as happy to play with them in their own comfort zone.
About: I grew up in a household that loves animals. I’ve always had dogs around whether it was my own or I was taking care of others dogs. I also worked as a bather for over a year so I have experience with all kinds of dogs, big and small, old and young. I am working a part-time job right now and would love to be able to spend time taking care of dogs on my days off. Since I moved away from home I’ve missed having dogs around I have experience in walking both big dogs and small dogs so I know how to handle either and I know how to walk multiple dogs at once if needed
“Kayla was such a great and reliable dog walker for my dog Chief!! She stepped in when another walker didn’t show up. She was very good at communicating, and she always made sure my dog didn’t miss any of his meals. She also sent updates and pictures which were very much appreciated. I will definitely hire her again and encourage others to do so as well.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds for years and would love to be of service to someone who needs help on the weekends, early mornings, or evenings. I would be happy to sit and hang out with an elderly dog or take your active pup on a hike. When I’m not with your dog, I’m working at castle hospital, at the gym or doing photography. I work 8-4pm Monday to Friday so I’m open to early morning walks or evening check ins until 10pm. Open to flexible needs on the weekends and holiday coverage. I currently live with a husky so it would be best if I came to your home. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats so I can’t be around them but dogs are okay!

“This is our second time boarding our golden doodle puppy with Greg and it’s always been a pleasant stay for our dog. He’s quick with messaging and sends daily photos. Zephyr is very friendly and Scotch loves to play with him. Greg made our experience with boarding worry-free and we will definitely book with him again in the future.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Jessica took great care of our dog. We got updates with pictures and videos on a daily basis. He got a lot of exercise in their fenced in yard. We would definitely use again!”
“Pei was amazing. He was able to accommodate our three dogs on very short notice. His property is fantastic for dogs, huge grass area, luxe kennels, and fully enclosed. Even though it was short notice he took the time to learn about my dogs and provided pictures and updates during their stay. Highly recommend trusting Pei with your fur babies, he treated our like they were his own.”

“Angela took such great care of our golden! She was extremely communicative, flexible, and kept us updated with lots of photos and details. She was even accommodating to unique and inconvenient pick up/drop off times and we felt completely comfortable leaving our pup in her care. We will definitely book with her again and recommend her and her family for any and all of your pet care needs!”
“KaVina was ABSOLUTELY amazing with my l lil man (Deuce). She kept the pics & videos coming. You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”
“Lauren & her family were great with our new rescue Casper. This was our first time using rover and we were scared he was going to think we abandoned him. But Lauren & her family made him feel right at home providing enough cuddles and love to make him feel safe. Pictures and updates were provided daily and I’m sure we will be using Lauren again for our other dogs.”
“Dianna is the best! She takes the best care of our pup ili. We feel so safe and reassured knowing our pet is in the best hands with Dianna and her family. It’s make taking vacations so easy and care free for us. Dianna is must book for any of dog sitting needs!”
“They are so attentive to the dogs needs. This was our first time leaving our younger dog and we were worried she wouldn’t do well. She respected the dogs boundaries, followed their queues and they quickly became family to them. Received so many pictures and videos to put our minds at ease. Could not recommend them anymore!!”

“Daylin did an amazing job taking care of my dog. I received regular updates, including videos and photos, which gave me great peace of mind.

I highly recommend Daylin without hesitation.”
“Lani’s stay seemed to go very well and she adapted sooner than I expected. I got pictures of her stay every day if not every other day. She looked at home and comfortable. Had great communication with how the stay went. All and all everything went better than I expected! I’d say I’m very satisfied. Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of lani!😊”
