“Darcie was wonderful with our dog, Remi! She sent us lots of photos with updates throughout his stay and we felt completely at peace knowing that she was taking care of him while we were out of town.”
“Emily and her family did an outstanding job of caring for Rizzo. He was having such a fun time, he didn’t want to leave. We’ll definitely be using Emily to care for Rizzo in the future .”
“We dont like leaving our boys so we were very hesitant. We are so glad we found heather. heather and her hus and are the sweetest. My boys seemed lile they enjoyed their stay. The communication between heather and i was phenominal. She sent me lots of pictures and updates about them! She is also extremly patient with animals. I could not be more thankful for finding heather! We will be booking with her in the future. I know i can trust my boys with her!”
“Jake was great with Dexter. He responded quickly and maintained great communication. He was also very flexible with my hours of availability. Dexter enjoyed his time with Jake and seemed very happy. I would definitely bring him back.”
“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“As always, our dog, Scout, loves spending time with Sherry, her husband and their dogs. She loves running around their space in the country and it's clear that they put the dogs' comfort first. Sherry was great about sending photos and videos while we were gone! We've left Scout for short visits, long weekends, and multi-week trips. We can't recommend Sherry enough!”
“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”
“Carol was so kind and warm and my sweet Daphne felt very at home with her and Shorty while we traveled. I appreciated that she did a meet and greet beforehand and that she sent photo updates while we were away. When our return flights were delayed, Carol was gracious and flexible about the extra time. I feel lucky to have found such a great person and petsitter.”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who loves all creatures big or small, furry or scaly. I grew up with pets of all kinds and have always enjoyed caring for them, spending time with them, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your beloved pet. He’s a pit/boxer mix and is super friendly and gets along with other pups. I also have a human baby, so I’d prefer your fur baby be good with kiddos, but I can keep them separate if needed. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family members receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. 🐾❤️ I have my own in-home daycare with little ones M-F so I am home all the time, making it convenient for me to care for your furry friend when needed. We usually spend a majority of our days in the basement where I have my daycare space set up, so the animals can have a quieter area (unless they’d rather be with me and the kiddos) on the main floor, which is fairly spacious. My husband also has a flexible job where he can work at home fairly often, so he will also be around to help with the animals when needed. I have a smaller sized fenced backyard and a super friendly and submissive 5-year old pup of my own that can help make your pet feel comfortable here. Your fur friend has free range of the house, but I can also crate him/her if preferred.
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I have taken my own dogs through obedience training and have raised them from puppy to adults. I love taking walks around the neighborhood and playing with them in the yard. I would love to love your dog as if it was my own! I typically go for morning and/or evenings walks most days of the week. I work approximately 5-6 hours outside the home but I am able to set my own schedule to accommodate any necessary bathroom breaks. I have a fenced in yard and two kids(10 and older) who also love playing and snuggling with dogs. I have quiet spaces in the house if your pet needs some quiet time to relax, otherwise they are welcome to roam the house with the humans.

“We were very nervous to leave our senior kitty for a week since he needs saline infusions everyday to treat his kidney disease. Tia did a wonderful job caring for Pumbaa, giving his medicine, and making him comfortable during his saline. He looked so happy and healthy when we returned. We're very thankful to have such an excellent petsitter to care for our boy when we're away!”
“She took really good care of my adult cat and 7 month old kitten. Both cats were properly feed and comfortable. She was flexible to last minute scheduling and arrangement modifications. I would definitely book with her again!”
About: I have worked with pups and kittys since I was little, I have done puppy training all the way to taking care of senior pets. I have had much practice over the years with all of my own furry family members and now to having a few solid clients I service on a regular basis before even joining Rover. So I love taking care of folks furry family members including my own Doberman and my sisters cat while she's gone away at college. However I work for the government Tuesday - Saturday 10:30 a.m.-7p.m. so I can be there during the mornings and I can take care of them as soon as I get off work in the evenings for feedings, potty breaks, walks, etc. Unfortunately, I more than likely will not be able to do midday potty breaks so if you're someone who works from home and let's them out frequently it probably will not work out. But if they're used to being in during the day already from work schedules then it should be a perfect fit! I take care of my Doberman pup through trainings with positive reinforcement via toys and treats. I feed him every morning and evening, taking him on walks out in the woods and letting him run wild in our big back yard.
About: Cats are such special animals. Having two of my own and helping my neighbors when they’re away, I love the quirky personalities. I know the importance of respecting boundaries and giving them safe places to be themselves. Scheduled feedings, clean litter boxes and engaged play time, I will treat your fur baby as my own.
“Kaeli was great! Super friendly and I really appreciated the quick turnaround for a meet and greet and first drop in visit. She left me a detailed message about the visit and pictures of our pup having a great time with her! We will definitely be rebooking!”
“Courtney was amazing caring for Peanut. Peanut likes to hide when we are gone. We did show her his hiding spot. She was great at sending us pictures of him. And as time went on, he even came out of his hiding spot and rubbed up against her leg. So that was amazing!! She took excellent care of him and I would highly recommend her!”
About: Cats were a part of my household my whole childhood, and I love being in their company! I love kittens, and have experience with very young kits due to having rescued a few that were left to fend for themselves, but don’t mind a cat young or old!
“Dana was great with my cat, Remy. She was very responsive via message and flexible when arranging a time to do a meet and greet. Remy can be shy but I was so happy to see that he was out and about with Dana. This really put me at ease while I was gone!”
About: I have 3 cats myself and love them with all my heart. I initially got 2 cats and found that one was PREGNANT! I took care of 5 kittens, found them all loving homes and one stayed with me. I love alll cats and have such a soft spot for them.
About: I’ve taken care of 3 cats at once and one had to take medication twice a day. I have also handled cats at the shelter as well as kittens. I understand they tend to be a little more shy and not as easy going when getting to know other people but I love them.
About: Hi! 😊 I’ve had different pets throughout my life and have pet sat both dogs and cats, and even rodents. I volunteered at a dog shelter, which gave me precious experience and taught me patience. I love animals and enjoy spending time with them, unfortunately, I cannot afford having pets now, so I’ll be happy to take care of yours 🐕🐈⬛🐁 Looking forward to meet you and your little (or big 😄) buddies! I’m pretty flexible, since I’m working from home, so I’ll be able and glad to spend time with your dogs, cats, ginny pigs, hamsters, rabbits and other cutie pies 😚 I always do my best to make sure your animals are comfortable and have minimal stress while you are away from them. I pay attention to the owners' care instructions. You’ll get pictures of your pets, so you can see your sweeties wherever you are! 😊
About: Hi! I'm Jenna. The "Me every time I see a dog. Do you share this reaction?" meme with Andy from Parks & Recreation is literally me every time I see a dog. I LOVE dogs, cats, sloths, sea otters and pretty much all animals in general. I have a huge heart and SO much love to give! I am very energetic, bubbly, and outgoing...I would love to meet some doggies (and maybe some humans in the process too) and give them some lovins' and exercise :) I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I would love to walk your pups or play with them outside of my job. I am available for house sitting dogs and cats. I’m generally available in mornings or afternoons around 4 pm. Since I do work a variety of jobs I just need a days notice but I can usually work around your schedule for the most part! I have experience pet sitting in the home and have done jobs where pet parents are out of town for the weekends or for work trips and I am happy to watch the house as well. I have a kitty cat so I wouldn’t be able to fully board but I’m able to take your doggo on walks, to the park, to a patio, etc etc. I can watch the dog at my house in the backyard but wouldn’t be able to take them inside the home.
About: I’ve cared for my own two cats, Jolene and Soup for over five years and have been around friends’ and family’s cats for more than eight. Over the years, I’ve learned how to meet each cat’s unique personality and needs with patience and understanding. I have experience with nail trimming, brushing, enrichment and playtime, and administering medication when needed. I also take care of litter box maintenance and keeping cat areas clean and comfortable. One of my own cats is on the shy side, so I’m very comfortable working with skittish or nervous cats and giving them the gentle patience they need to feel safe. I’m confident in reading feline body language and building trust over time. I’m open to caring for cats of all ages and temperaments (though I have a bit less hands-on experience with very young kittens under 4 months). My goal is to make every cat feel secure, cared for, and loved!

I will always do my utmost to keep your pets loved and safe. When walking, I try to be very mindful of the places we go to make sure there’s no danger to their paws. Willing to follow all instructions to the best of our ability.
About: I’ve taken care of pets from craziness to laziness, big or small, I love em all! I’m excellent at rounding them up for baths, playing with them, going on walks or to dog parks to make friends, and most importantly, keeping them safe! If your pal needs a smile, I’m your gal!

“Tiffany was great! We were traveling through Iowa and needed a place to leave Tommy for the afternoon so we could take a riverboat sightseeing tour. Due to poor planning on my part we had to find someone just a few days before our trip, but Tiffany responded to my request very quickly and was able to take him on short notice. She was so kind, and Tommy warmed up to her quickly. We really appreciated having a great place to take him for the afternoon!”
“Grant was a lifesaver for me and my puppies! As a busy night shift nurse I was not sleeping during the day so I could give my puppies attention. It all became too much so that’s when I decided to find a puppy daycare for them. I found Grant and he was open to watching them during the day for me so I can get some sleep! My 8month old puppy Cricket is a shy/ nervous girl and my 3 month old puppy Junebug is rambunctious and sassy. They both loved going to daycare and were thoroughly wore out after spending the day playing at Grant’s house!”
About: I’m Rochelle and my full time job is as the Assistant Director of a no-kill animal shelter. I work closely with professional trainers to identify the correct temperament of an animal, I am pet CPR certified, I have worked as a vet assistant, I have experience working with wildlife rehabbers, I have worked on a 200 acre farm in Tennessee caring for chickens, cows, ducks, and pigs, and I’m an animal lover at heart! I am professionally trained to given oral and injectable medications to cats, dogs, farm animals and wildlife. I have approximately 4-6 personal pet sitting clients yet I am interested acquiring more! Getting to know and bonding with an animal brings me true joy and Rover is another way to do just that that. I look forward to working with you and your pet!
“We really appreciated Emily's keeping us posted on how our dog Maggie was adjusting to a new environment. Emily and family were very loving and caring toward our dog Maggie.”
“Sierra took in our little guy last minute so we could spend the day in the National Park. She was friendly and easy to communicate with, and very accommodating. I loved the smell of the fresh apples on her tree.”
“We are glad we found Joe while traveling thru Iowa. He took good care of my senior baby and even introduced her to his pups. I would certainly think of him again when traveling thru Davenport”

“We had a good first experience with Emilie as Poppy’s sitter. Poppy seemed to do well during her stay, and we appreciated receiving photo updates while we were away. Communication was smooth throughout, and we didn’t have any complaints. We would be more than comfortable booking with Emilie again in the future.”
About: I provide attentive and loving care to pets of all sizes, from small lap dogs to active breeds, as well as bunnies, cats and birds. As I work from home, your pet will receive consistent attention throughout the day, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I take time to understand their needs so they feel secure and relaxed. Every pet in my care is treated as if they were my own. With my work from home environment I am able to deal with pets all times during the week. I do travel some weeks, in which I will not take on any pets. I am flexible on schedules. In the spring I will note I coach, and may be gone for 2-3 hours maximum on some nights if there is an overnight pet. This scheduling information will of be provided ahead of time to ensure you know exactly how your pet will be cared for. As I work from home your pet will be watched all day. Whether they choose to join me or relax elsewhere in the house is up to their preference. I do not have a kennel and am okay with pets being able to roam. I also want to break up my day so they will get walks every 2-4 hours if they would like. I also have a fenced yard that I can see from my office if they are wanting to spend more time outside. Personally I’ll probably be outside with them :)
“Sherry was kind enough to watch our pup on Thanksgiving day so we could spend the day with my husband’s grandma at her assisted living center, which meant so much… thank you! Both her and her husband were incredibly kind and took great care of Geno for us <3”
“Allison was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs, a playful and high energy 5 year old pug and a very high needs senior. She is so loving with them, and is very patient and focused on our senior dog’s needs. We were totally confident that they were cared for so well all day. We are so grateful to have found her! Ellie and Jake loved their time with her and can’t wait to stay with her again.”
“Heidi is treated like family at Katie's home. That gives me peace of mind while I'm gone. Heidi is not stressed out when I get her, unlike some other places I've tried.”

When pets are in my home, I provide a cozy, secure space where they’re treated like family. They have access to safe, pet-friendly areas for playing, resting, and exploring, along with daily exercise tailored to their energy level. I maintain a structured routine for feeding, walking, and playtime, ensuring they feel right at home.

I am happy to provide a safe and fun environment for your pet in your home.
About: I'd like to start by saying I am located in Whiteside County for the time being. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!!! Take a look at my reviews also for extra confidence. If you choose me your fur babies will be in good hands! <3 I'm flexible as I work from home. Right now over the summer I'm only accepting smaller dogs, two a day -only- (I have a few dogs myself). As long as your dogs get along with others and like children we should be good 👌 I prefer to do drop ins and right now I'm not able to stay over night in anyone's home so I apologize in advance. I have a smaller fenced area and a huge yard. I also have dogs of my own so lots of friends to be made! My dogs are the friendliest dogs and have plenty of experience with other animals. :)
About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my whole life and had one of my own growing up. I’m experienced with walks, playtime, bathing, and general care, and I love spending time getting to know each dog’s unique personality. While i’ve worked most with smaller dogs, I’m comfortable and open to caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I bring a gentle, caring approach to make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Currently I am working part time, my schedule varies but usually I am working 2nd shift in the beginning of the week and working 1st shift during the weekends. I am more than happy to discuss dates and times and work around my typical schedule to meet your needs of pet care to the best of my abilities! Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and boundaries so they always feel secure in my care. Whether i’m in your home or out on a walk, I make sure your pet is safe, supervised, and happy at all times. I treat every home with respect and care, keeping things clean, tidy, and just the way you left them. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and cared for like family.
About: I am open to most pets. Cats, Dogs, Horses, Calves, Lambs, Guinea Pigs, Turtles, etc..... If extra special care or out of state, I do charge travel fees. I do have experience with older pets and young ones. I have been known to raise Opossums from the size of mice to adults. If that gives you an idea! I am open to new proposals and willing to negotiate new situations! (Unencountered situations when it comes to pets) I also House-sit, plants, pets etc... I do travel out of state to Illinois (Mostly the North suburbs of Chicago) and Wisconsin. This is where I have done house-sitting. Pets and Plants can be included in this care. I do add travel expenses, mainly for gas, when traveling for house sitting. I get up in the morning and get my coffee going and then tend to pets that are around. They get fed first thing, inside and outside. Feral cats seem to be present in the morning. Litter boxes are checked. Water Bowls. Mostly I go to people's homes and care for the pets at their houses, but I have had people bring them to me. I have an extra room set up in my barn if there are anxieties or stress with animals and they need a quiet place. I am in the process of updating that room a little more. It is heated for the winter months. I do have hand brushes and combs for extra attention and I do go talk to whoever is around. If dogs come, they can be walked. Although I live in a small town, I am close to nice places to walk on the edge of town.
About: I’ve been around many dogs since I was little. Even viscous ones. But no type of dog scares me. Having a cane corso for about 4-5 years got me to be aware of any type of pets. Being around cats doesn’t worry me. Just as long as I pay attention to signs on what to and not to do. I’m currently trying to raise money for a trip to go meet some family I’ve never met. I’ve had this app for months and haven’t had a single client. Please help me reach my goal I work full time with kids and I love pet sitting for one of my friends. But usually after work I love to be around lovely pets. I will walk your dog personally. To be honest, letting a dog out in a yard doesn’t seem like they have much freedom. Taking them on an adventure is the way to do it so they have options. Treat them the way you would want to be treated is my motto.
About: I have had dogs and loved them my entire life. I grew up with Rottweilers and St Benards so the big ones definitely have my heart. I currently have two Border Collie X Australian Shepherd mixes that are incredibly friendly and smart. I started my pet professional career out in 2012 as a kennel technician at the Clinton Humane Society. I have worked for two different vet clinics as a vet technician giving medications, doing ivs, doing wound care, and being apart of surgery staff. I do some special handling dog training for anxious and semi aggressive dogs. My passion for special handling dogs started when I trained as a pet stylist. I got hands on experience helping stressed dogs relax and make situations better for them. I currently work in the Quad Cities as a pet stylist, working with both dogs and cats. I am very familiar and comfortable working with all kinds of animals be it furry, scaley or feathery. I do animal care for individual animals and also for hobby farms with chickens, ducks, goats, llamas and sheep. I am a very particular person when it comes to my own animals' care. Being very detailed oriented and handling your pets care is important to me. I think they deserve their care to be attentive and comfortable. Animals are not only something I am very passionate about but what I have revolved my life around. My days start around 5-5:30am. I typically take the dogs for a walk and have an hour to give them a bathroom break. I work as a pet stylist from 7-3:30. I can give bathroom breaks on my lunch break as needed. I keep all dogs leashed when outside to guarantee their safety. I have a fenced in back/side yard where I monitor dogs so they can be off leash if they are able to be trusted. I never leave pets unattended. I can kennel dogs to keep separate if needed. I am also trained in animal first aid. I deep clean and sanitize everything frequently.
About: I know how important my fur babies are to me, and how important quality pet care is. I will take care of your pets the way I would want mine taken care of. I’ve had pets my whole life, and currently have an Aussie named Ruthie and a cat named Jinx! I trained Ruthie myself and have taken care of dogs with special needs before. I am currently a full time student and therefore have plenty of time to devote to your fur babies! I’m available most holidays as well. I love spending time with your pets, making them feel loved, playing with them, and giving them the stimulation they need to be happy. I leave all clients’ homes exactly the way they left it. In addition to taking care of your pets, I also water plants and bring in mail or packages if necessary.

The communication between heather and i was phenominal. She sent me lots of pictures and updates about them! She is also extremly patient with animals. I could not be more thankful for finding heather! We will be booking with her in the future. I know i can trust my boys with her!”
“Jake was great with Dexter. He responded quickly and maintained great communication. He was also very flexible with my hours of availability. Dexter enjoyed his time with Jake and seemed very happy. I would definitely bring him back.”
“This was our first experience with the Rover app and Shannon taking care of Maggie. It could not have been a better experience! Shannon was great with communication and very timely. We had boarding arrangements elsewhere and they canceled at the last minute. Shannon was quick to reply to my inquiry and helped me navigate the Rover app. The "Meet & Greet" went very well with Maggie meeting Shannon's personal K-9 companions. Right from the start, we were very comfortable and confident that Shannon would take great care of Maggie. She was very personable and kept us informed during our travels with pics/updates. When arriving to pick her up, Maggie was happy & seemingly didn't care that we had returned. It was very obvious that Maggie was well cared for and SPOILED! We highly recommend Shannon and won't hesitate to use her again. (6+ 🌟)”
“As always, our dog, Scout, loves spending time with Sherry, her husband and their dogs. She loves running around their space in the country and it's clear that they put the dogs' comfort first. Sherry was great about sending photos and videos while we were gone! We've left Scout for short visits, long weekends, and multi-week trips. We can't recommend Sherry enough!”
“Not going to lie, we were nervous leaving our pup with a stranger, but we felt at ease right away. Mark has such a calm demeanor and knows what he is doing. There is another pup he cares for and they play well together, which is great for socializing. If I check in, he responds very quickly and sends us a picture or two. He knows about nervous parents.☺️”
“Nyjeah W. Took good care of my Schnoodle Dog Hosanna and my cat Shylynn she was very responsive with updates, very reliable. I would recommend her if you need someone to watch your loving pets she's the best.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who loves all creatures big or small, furry or scaly. I grew up with pets of all kinds and have always enjoyed caring for them, spending time with them, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your beloved pet. He’s a pit/boxer mix and is super friendly and gets along with other pups. I also have a human baby, so I’d prefer your fur baby be good with kiddos, but I can keep them separate if needed. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, or simply some extra love while you’re away, I’d be happy to help! My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family members receive plenty of attention, care, and affection. 🐾❤️ I have my own in-home daycare with little ones M-F so I am home all the time, making it convenient for me to care for your furry friend when needed. We usually spend a majority of our days in the basement where I have my daycare space set up, so the animals can have a quieter area (unless they’d rather be with me and the kiddos) on the main floor, which is fairly spacious. My husband also has a flexible job where he can work at home fairly often, so he will also be around to help with the animals when needed. I have a smaller sized fenced backyard and a super friendly and submissive 5-year old pup of my own that can help make your pet feel comfortable here. Your fur friend has free range of the house, but I can also crate him/her if preferred.
About: My household has had dogs for the past 12 years. I have watched dogs for other families while they are away several times over the past 10 years. I work very well with energetic and stubborn breeds. Frequents walks. Almost always home. I am a stay at home mom of older children. I am almost always home, and will ensure a fun and yet peaceful environment. Thank you for your consideration. I do have a fenced in yard that is smaller, and live very close to a dog park if desired. I can seperate our dog on a lower level if there is ever any issues, or space is need.
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. I have taken my own dogs through obedience training and have raised them from puppy to adults. I love taking walks around the neighborhood and playing with them in the yard. I would love to love your dog as if it was my own! I typically go for morning and/or evenings walks most days of the week. I work approximately 5-6 hours outside the home but I am able to set my own schedule to accommodate any necessary bathroom breaks. I have a fenced in yard and two kids(10 and older) who also love playing and snuggling with dogs. I have quiet spaces in the house if your pet needs some quiet time to relax, otherwise they are welcome to roam the house with the humans.
“Mary is literally the best pup sitter. She takes such care of our pup like he is her own. You can tell her heart belongs to the dogs she sits for by how she takes care of them. You won't be sorry for choosing Mary.”
“My baby boy stayed with Cathleen while I attended a function. From the very beginning, I could see a special love and dedication to her dog care. Tootie immediately went over to Cathleen and her dog. Tootie appeared comfortable and right at home. These are the things I look for when my baby boy stays with a family. Cathleen sent many pictures and kept me updated throughout the day and evening. I loved that! Cathleen is an asset to Rover!”
“Our dog Cami was so well taken care of by Erica. She wanted to know all about her routines to make her visit the best it could be. Erica updated us daily on how she was doing and sent pictures. We look forward to using Erica again soon! 😀❤️”
“Katie and her family have been a true blessing for us and our pup, Stormy. The way they shower her with affection and take care of her needs is truly remarkable, making us feel grateful and relieved that she's in good hands. It's no wonder that we affectionately refer to them as Stormy's second family, as she has grown to love them as her own. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter.”
