“Liz is a fantastic host for your dog. She is accommodating, friendly, and more than willing to go the extra mile to make your dog feel comfortable. Highly recommended.”
“Mike and Joanna were absolutely amazing! I needed last-minute care for my dog, and they responded almost instantly. From the start, they were friendly, professional, and incredibly accommodating. They took such great care of my dog and made the whole experience completely stress-free for me. It was clear that my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. What really surprised me was that they even sent my dog home with free gifts — such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture, especially for such a short stay! I can’t recommend Mike and Joanna enough. If I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would. Thank you both for going above and beyond!”
“Kamiah & Casius were great with my fur baby. It was my first time using a service like this and I was so nervous. Kamiah was understanding of my nerves answered all my questions. She sent daily photos and videos. She was understandable with my travel delays and when I picked my dog up she was smiling and continued to do so for the rest of the evening. There were no stress signals or behaviors from my dog and she was right back into her routine at home. Thank you for taking such great care of Macci!! Will definitely use again”
“Kyla was incredible!! From the initial contact to pickup, she was friendly and professional. She took the time to know my dog’s needs and preferences. She sent me regular updates and photos of my pup, which put me at ease while I was away! I highly recommend Kyla for a trustworthy and caring place for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Ania watched our dog Elliot for a weekend. During this time she was communicative and provided us with lots of pictures! He got comfortable fast with her and came back to us a happy dog!”
“OMG she was wonderful. Her space was nice and clean she checked in everyday with me I was running late she assured me it was ok my dog went on play dates and much more. I would definitely be using her every time.”
“I really appreciate him and his wife for watching my dog, they saved me because my original sitter had canceled at the last minute. They sent pictures and videos, also communicated with me. I definitely will be booking with them again”
“Ashley goes above and beyond for pets & their owners- dog parks, long walks, frequent updates, pictures & more! My dog can be a little anxious and he feels so comfortable with Ashley, which is a real testament to her care. Ashley has watched my dog for up to two weeks and it’s a relief to have him in such good hands. We’re so grateful for her services!”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“Bronx (and I!) love Ann! She always takes great care of him and loves him like her own. Always super attentive and sends the cutest pictures. Thank you!!”
“Krypto enjoyed a lot at Jessica's place. She was very kind enough to send so many pics of krypto and she took good care of him. Will recommend her for everyone.”
“Tim is a great guy who is amazing with animals. He provided pictures and updates every day. My dog did not even want to leave. He obviously provided great care and was very flexible with my schedule for pick up and drop off. I really appreciate his dedication and genuine love of animals.”
“We have a 14 year old dog who’s regular sitter could not commit to our 3 week Australia trip so I was nervous to find someone new for an older dog. Cheyanne is amazing, she has experience with older dogs and special needs, my dog was so happy with her and even found a “boyfriend” during her long stay. I did not hesitate to book her again for another long trip, our baby ran out of food but Cheyanne went to the store to buy her more “fresh pet” and even gave her a bath! Our dog loves being a high rise dog and Cheyanne spoils her just like we do.”
“This is Manuel’s 2nd time watching my kitty Luna and he was just as awesome as the first time! He sent me a ton of photos, was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and overall very communicative.”
“Andrea was fantastic! She is very sweet and communicated with me with photos and letting me know how our toy poodle Bolt was doing over the 5-6 days. She gave him a lot of attention (as he has separation anxiety) and he seemed right at home from day one, playing, eating well, shopping together, enjoying his walks, cuddling, watching TV, etc. I can tell Bolt had a great time! I’m very thankful that he is healthy and was very well taken care of. I will definitely book again very soon! This is the best dog sitting experience I have had so far over the last 6 years!”
“I had the pleasure of having Bola watch my dogs, Lady, Jasmine, and Vixen, after putting in a last-minute request. My dogs weren’t comfortable in their previous environment, and Bola went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was incredibly welcoming, nurturing, and made my dogs feel right at home. When they came back to the hotel for our last night, they were actually upset with me and didn’t even want me to love on them—clearly, they adored Bola! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. Thank you, Bola, for being so amazing!”
“My Gizelle walked right into Victoria's place inspecting every corner before Victoria could give her a proper greeting! Gizelle was very comfortable and tool to Victoria who sent photos throughout the days I was gone. Somehow Victoria got Gizelle to use a pee pad and play with a toy. Things she never does at home. I am grateful for Victoria's care. Thank you!”
“Cassandra took great care of my dog Ace during his 4-day stay. I can tell he had a good time hanging out with her dog, Chewy. Cassandra was a pleasure to work with and I hope to use her services again for future boarding.”
“Tanesha was wonderful! This was Midnight's first time with a sitter, so we were very worried. Tanesha sent us pictures and videos of Midnight throughout her stay. I can tell that she gave Midnight her undivided attention. We were very pleased with Tenesha, she treated Midnight if she was her own. We would definitely use Tanesha again.”

“Amiyah is kind and caring.Glitzy had lots of fun and looked forward to her visits with Amiyah. We felt she was very well cared for and that makes vacationing easier..”
“This is the second time I’ve had Jenna take care of my cat and she was great. I had originally requested Jenna for the end of the month but a family emergency made me bump up my trip. Jenna was very accommodating in switching the dates of my request and even gave words of encouragement wishing my family well. Jenna provided photos and updates about my cat daily. I highly recommend Jenna.”
“Jozelin is wonderful!! She spent time with my cats, played with them and went above and beyond my instructions. This was my first experience with Rover after moving to a new city recently, and I feel like Jozelin is someone I could completely trust in my home and with my cats!”
“Chelsea did an amazing job caring for my kitties over the holidays! First, I ended up booking shorter notice and Chelsea responded immediately, was flexible, and was able to accommodate me and my babies. Chelsea was a great communicator when she was caring for my kitties, she gave consistent updates about how they were doing, as well as the tasks she completed when caring for them (refilling food and water, cleaning the litter box). I really appreciated the time and effort Chelsea put into caring for my babies, especially during the holiday time. Thank you!”
“Nadine was great with my cats! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Everything was clean and kept up with. Will definitely book with her next time I need a sitter!”

“Yesenia did an excellent job as a pet sitter during the three-week period. She dedicated 30 minutes each day to thoroughly care for the cats, ensuring they were well-fed, had fresh water, and their litter was clean. Yesenia also handled hairball cleanups. Her daily photo updates were a delightful and reassuring touch. She was consistently prompt in responding to any queries, demonstrating great reliability and communication skills.”
“Wendy is wonderful and I will not hesitate to hire her again. Her cat photography skills are top-notch, and it’s clear she truly loves animals. She’s very professional and kind. Highly recommended!”

“Herminia was INCREDIBLE. She and her partner were so accommodating and even helped us out when we didn't have our car. She sent updates and my cat Rye was well cared for. She was also very responsive. I couldn't have chosen a better person to watch Rye!”
“Elizabeth was amazing with my cat. This was my first time using a sitter I didnt know personally and she eased all of my fears. Multiple updates with pictures. Not to mention being great to work with- with a calming personality. Would definitely book her again.”
“Tandy was definitely a fan of Sarah's and he warmed up quickly in the space. Sarah shared photos and updates on how he was doing during the stay. Overall, it was a successful time.”
“Kexin was incredible! I was very nervous about leaving my kitty home for the first time, but Kexin sent me so many photos it was like I never left! I came back to a very happy and well taken care of cat all because of Kexin. 100/10 amazing cat sitter!”
“Molly is the best this was our 1st time using Rover and Molly guide me through the process. She took care of my babies and went beyond her responsibilities, thank you Molly”

About: Hi! My name is Monica and I recently graduated from Indiana University. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. While I was in college, I fostered through local animal shelters, which gave me experience caring for animals with all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m also currently a volunteer at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago, where I help care for animals and support the shelter. I work from home, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention throughout the day. Your pet will never be left alone for long. My dad is also recently retired and home most of the time, so there’s always someone around to give extra attention, playtime, and care. I have a small Yorkie named Tucker and a cat named Penny. They’re both very friendly and used to being around other animals. Tucker is great at matching other dogs’ energy (whether they want to play or relax), and Penny is very calm and tends to mind her own business. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I treat every animal like they’re part of the family. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! I recently graduated from Indiana University and am now back home in Chicago full-time. My dad is retired and home all day, and I spend most of my time at home too, so your pet will always have company and attention. I’m not super busy and genuinely love being around animals — it’s the perfect setup! I have a private, fully fenced yard and never let pets outside without supervision. My home is spacious, and pets are welcome to relax anywhere they’d like. I also have a 2-year-old, 4.5-pound Yorkie who mostly keeps to himself but is always up for a little playtime if your pet wants a buddy! I’m happy to crate your dog at night if you prefer, or they’re welcome to sleep with me — I’d love that too!
“Gabriel was an excellent dog sitter for Walnut. He was attentive, patient, and very professional throughout the entire experience. He communicated clearly, provided updates, and always confirmed details, which gave me great peace of mind. Walnut seemed very happy and comfortable with him, and it was clear he genuinely enjoyed spending time with Gabriel. I truly felt that Walnut was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Gabriel and would love for him to continue sitting for us in the future.”
About: What sets me aside from other sitters is the love i have for animals. Since i was a little girl I've always loved being around animals they were and still are very therapeutic to me. I've had big dogs from Pitbull's, Dobermann, American bullies, all the way down to tiny dogs; yorkies, shitzu etc. even different kinds of cats you name it. As I've gotten older I've gained sooo much experience to the point I've had at home births with my dogs and cats all by myself; even home training my own animals as well. My goal here is to gain a work related reputation where i can truly start doing what i love and make a name for myself until i can become that super Veterinarian I've always dreamed of being. So far all i have is personal experience with dealing with animals at home and at my job(My residents animals). This would truly mean a lot if i can show off my skills and how genuine i am with animals and even people. Pet Care currently fits for me during the week days. I work doubles every Saturday and Sunday; whereas for school i do online Vet courses which is self pace. Which means i am free during the week Monday-Friday between 9am-5pm if communicated at least at least 30min-1hr in advanced i could stay later if needed. Although, I am a mother which means i can not do any services past 7pm nor any over night services. I also am located downtown Chicago but I am willing to travel!! One thing about me i will spoil your baby(s) haha; I am very hands on and affectionate with animals unless they require space lol. I have never been a crate animal person BUT i know every household is different and every animal requires different training. Again, animals bring a lot of joy to my heart; very therapeutic for me and if given the chance you wouldn't be disappointed i promise!.
“Timothy is our puppy’s favorite sitter (and ours too!). It’s clear he really understands and empathizes with dogs of all ages and sizes. We’ve had multiple stays at Timothy’s place, and every time our dog comes home happy, well-cared for and occasionally having made new dog friends! We especially appreciate the way he handles our rambunctious labrador puppy- calm, kind, and confident. It’s such a relief knowing she’s in good hands. We’re grateful to have found him, highly recommend!”
“Ashley and her daughter Marina are incredibly conscientious and caring. Every time I bring my dog to their place, he is excited to run up the stairs and be reunited with his extended family. He truly loves them, and I can see how much they love him as well. 10/10, would recommend Ashley’s services to anyone!”

About: Hi, I’m Sheccid 👋🏼 As a proud dog mom to my Chi-Beagle, Lily, I know that every pup has a unique personality. Dogs have always been a central part of my life, and l've become great at reading their cues and adapting to their specific needs. I currently live in a relaxed home with my husband and Lily. I work from home, so I'll give your pup plenty of focused attention throughout the day. I'm also lucky to have a fenced-in yard, providing a safe and private space for your dog to play and stretch their legs. I can adapt to all types of temperaments- whether your dog is shy and needs a patient hand or is bold and high-energy. If they enjoy making new friends, Lily is available to join us on our walks for some extra socialization. I am dedicated to building a bond of trust with every dog I meet (and their owner) and look forward to caring for your furry friend! I work part-time from home, so Lily and I will have plenty of time to go on walks, play, and keep your pet company while you’re gone. Although Lily is friendly I never leave them unsupervised or alone for too long. I’m flexible with their needs and can crate or give them their own space if they’re nervous.
“Bola came through for me last minute and took great care of Bea!! She sent me picture updates and communicated well throughout the day. Will definitely be booking again with her.”
“Ashley's kindness and consideration for my dog was a true blessing! This was our first visit with her but will definitely not be our last. Her professionalism only added to my overall decision to always book with her if possible!”
“Vick is the best! Flexible, easy to communicate with, super nice, dependable, thoughtful, and caring! Best of all, he treated my old, anxious, nearly blind dog with kindness and expertise. She really loved staying at his house. It's obvious that he really loves and understands dogs. He's an amazing dog sitter. Thank you!”

A typical day includes structured walks, playtime, exercise, water breaks, feeding according to your instructions, and plenty of attention.

Whether your pet needs a relaxed companion, exercise, or consistent care while you’re away, I aim to make the experience stress-free for both you and your dog. You’ll receive updates, photos, and quick responses throughout the stay so you always know how your dog is doing.
“Talla was such a sweetheart. She took great care of Wilbur and made sure to update me regarding his activities and medications. She was available last minute and was very responsive and communicative!”
“Look up “dog person” in the dictionary and you will see a picture of Andrew. When we met Andrew at the park for the first meet-and-greet, we knew we had found Luna’s new best pal. And he’s great with humans, too! He is responsive, punctual, and has a ton of experience with many different types of dogs. Our Luna had a *great* day with Andrew as evidenced by the many updates and photos he sent throughout the day. She came home happily tired out. We are so glad we found Andrew on Rover. We will be calling on him again and again to care for our sweet pup. You should, too.”
“This was our first time using this app and man our dog was ASLEEP right after we picked him up. She was very communicative and updating in our dog while he was having a blast! Would 100% rebook!”

About: I've had pets since I was 9. From 9 till now I've had cats, dogs, fishes, and guinea pigs. I have experience with dealing with pets that may have previously trauma issues also with pets that may need careful care like medince or special needs. Even pets that don't need extra care just pets that wants to have long walks or need a lot of play time . I am currently in school. So I will be working part time for Rover. Evening and nights works best for the weekdays and for the weekends I am open for anytime you need. For cats do have multiple cat bags if they need to brought to a appointment or any where else. And foot dogs if you don't have a leach I can get one but I would prefer for you to have leeches and rates of pets need to be taken out of the house .
About: While I do not currently share my life with a dog of my own (it's a matter of being unable to adopt every dog I lay my eyes on!), I dearly love helping pet parents keep their dogs happy and healthy and preferably in their own homes while their owners are away. I love to travel,and love to spend time with as many dogs as I can possibly fit into my day. You can often find me chatting with others about their animals, and I am always interested in hearing about every little detail. I enjoy helping people get a greater understanding regarding the welfare of their animals, and sometimes bore my friends with random and obscure dog breeds, and what I know of their temperament and behavior. I'm proud to say I try to research as many breeds as I can so that I know what to expect, and hey, it's always fun to just know why and how a breed came into existence! I happen to also be studying veterinary technology, for the knowledge of nutrition and behavior, since surgery is more information than I want. :D I am also very happy to drop by or stay with your cats, and am quite used to the varying personalities of these small creatures: the ones who like to play hide and seek, the aloof, the playful, and the grumpy. I don't mind at all, as long as the cat is comfortable, eating, and using their litter box, all is well! I can work my day around your dog or cat, as I am a dedicated sitter, and much prefer to spend my time enjoying the company of cats and dogs as much as I can. I much prefer to stay with the dog or cat in their own home, as having their familiar surroundings help them remain peaceful, happy, and comfortable.
“Twix loves her so much! He knows her car at this point and is jumping for us to let him go with his friend. She is so amazing withy doodle who isn’t the easiest to walk cause he is a puller and she does perfect with him. I have also used her for boarding and day care and I know when he is with her he is so happy and well taken care of ♥️”
“Lillian has been great with my dogs and very communicative throughout the walks. She took the time to make sure they were comfortable, shared updates and photos, and went above and beyond with their care. I really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with my schedule, especially while I was out of town. I felt confident knowing my dogs were in good hands, and I would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.”
About: My family has had dogs for many years. We raised our first dog Kendra, adopting her when she was a puppy, and currently have Brie, whom we brought home when she was six years old. I have also cared for the pets of friends and family. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines. Whether it is a walk, feeding, or providing full-day care, I make sure each and every pet gets the care they deserve while following any schedule or special instructions the owner may have. My goal is to ensure that every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have an open and very flexible summer and am available most days of the week, including weekends, being able to provide care mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I will provide a calm, comforting environment where your dog is always supervised and treated with care. I carefully follow the owner's instructions to ensure a safe and clean space.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 13, mainly my own, but I’ve also taken care of friend’s and family friend’s dogs in these past 3 years, so I understand the anxiety or fear of leaving a part of your family in the care of someone that isn’t you and won’t treat your pet like you will. That’s why I always adjust and accommodate my services to every pet’s needs. When it comes to basic care of pets, I always take puppies and dogs on walks at whichever time of day that they need to go out, always making sure to bring snacks and water so they always stay hydrated and healthy. I make sure they have enough playtime inside and outside so they don’t get bored and are entertained. I understand that not every dog wants to play or can’t move too much, so I of course adjust these activities to accommodate every pet’s individual needs so they’re always comfortable and happy. I also have experience with senior care, specifically giving dogs the medicines they need at the intended hours of the day or night. It goes without saying that my main priority are the pets in my care so I also make sure to always check up on every pet at different hours and times, rarely leaving them out of my sight (while also keeping my distance if they’re resting) to ensure they’re always okay. I work part-time remotely since I finished university in March of 2024. So I have no issues with times and days that will work best for you and your pets! I care for pets in client’s homes by making sure they’re never missing anything, from food, water, toys, time to go to the bathroom, medicines if they take them, etc… I make sure pets understand I’m simply there as an aid for them and someone they can play with if they choose to! I’m simply there to ensure every pet is taken care of while also having time to play and give them their space, after all, it’s their home and they need to feel the most comfortable and safe in their own space.

About: i’m patient, detail-oriented, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality. i take the time to make shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable, and i adjust my approach depending on their energy level and needs. i’m also very reliable with routines and communication, so you can trust your pet is getting consistent care and attention. pet care is part of my everyday routine, as i currently care for two kittens with consistent feeding, cleaning, and play schedules. i’m used to planning my day around their needs, so incorporating additional pet care is something i can do reliably & consistently. when caring for pets in a client’s home, i focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. i follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any specific preferences your pet has. i take the time to understand each cat’s personality—whether they’re social or more independent—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable in their own space. i also keep the home tidy and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve take care of my friend’s dog while she’s away for traveling. My responsibilities included ensuring frequent and timely potty breaks and managing his high energy levels through structured play and walks. I strictly adhered to his feeding routine and followed all specific care instructions provided by my friend. This experience reinforced my ability to be responsible, attentive, and consistent, confirming my passion for providing reliable care for dogs. I am confident in my skills to adapt to any dog’s individual needs and maintain their comfort and routine while their owners are away. I‘m available before 9 AM in the morning and after 6 PM in the afternoon during weekdays. I’m available during weekends. I’m usually available during holidays because I’m more of a homebody and not traveling very often. I will record and memorize every specific detail and note of caution provided by the client. I treat all these key pieces of information as the main care guideline.

“Liz is a fantastic host for your dog. She is accommodating, friendly, and more than willing to go the extra mile to make your dog feel comfortable. Highly recommended.”
“Ania watched our dog Elliot for a weekend. During this time she was communicative and provided us with lots of pictures! He got comfortable fast with her and came back to us a happy dog!”
“I really appreciate him and his wife for watching my dog, they saved me because my original sitter had canceled at the last minute. They sent pictures and videos, also communicated with me. I definitely will be booking with them again”
“Ashley goes above and beyond for pets & their owners- dog parks, long walks, frequent updates, pictures & more! My dog can be a little anxious and he feels so comfortable with Ashley, which is a real testament to her care. Ashley has watched my dog for up to two weeks and it’s a relief to have him in such good hands. We’re so grateful for her services!”
“Chelsea was phenomenal!! 5 out of 5 stars doesn’t even begin to cover it. So easy to communicate with, we received more pictures then we knew what to do with, and she was consistently taking the dogs on walks, to the beach, and out for treats. Couldn’t be more thankful. If we are ever in Chicago again we will be using her services!!”
“Tim is a great guy who is amazing with animals. He provided pictures and updates every day. My dog did not even want to leave. He obviously provided great care and was very flexible with my schedule for pick up and drop off. I really appreciate his dedication and genuine love of animals.”
“This is Manuel’s 2nd time watching my kitty Luna and he was just as awesome as the first time! He sent me a ton of photos, was very flexible with pick up and drop off times and overall very communicative.”
“I had the pleasure of having Bola watch my dogs, Lady, Jasmine, and Vixen, after putting in a last-minute request. My dogs weren’t comfortable in their previous environment, and Bola went above and beyond to accommodate us. She was incredibly welcoming, nurturing, and made my dogs feel right at home. When they came back to the hotel for our last night, they were actually upset with me and didn’t even want me to love on them—clearly, they adored Bola! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur babies. Thank you, Bola, for being so amazing!”
“She was an amazing choice and Bailey loved being with her and her doggo. If you want a safe sitter and one that will give all their love and attention to them, she is the one! I will most definitely be rebooking again.”
“Kyla did a great job with Wrigley! She's very communicative and was also flexible with my pick up and drop of times. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Tonisa was great, she was always responsive and kept us up to date with pics throughout our trip. Deuce seemed to have a great time at her house. Thank you Tonisa!”
“Christina was phenomenal! She gave regular updates and checked in when Lola had an upset stomach, but what says it all is how comfortable and relaxed Lola was when I picked her up! You can just tell when your pup is in good hands, you know? We will definitely use Christina again!”
“Katie was great! Chloe seemed like she had a fun time with her. Katie sent lots of pictures! We also were really grateful for how accommodating Katie was - our flight was delayed and she was so nice about us having to switch around pickup plans.”
“Nemo took to Kathleen right away. She kept him busy with walking and playing with her children. She is a dog lover! He is as in good hands. Sent several pics too. Would definitely ask her to sit again.”
“Nathan was phenomenal! This was my first time using Rover and he went above and beyond to make me and my pup feel as comfortable and cared for as possible! Constant communication, pictures, and updates! Even when I wasn’t responding. Getting to see my pup enjoying Nathan was awesome and I truly appreciate the level of care and compassion he put into the entire weekend. Not only did he do a great job with beaux, he also went out of his way to help me get beaux to him, as well as dealing with my poor planning on the original booking and sticking him with Beaux for an extra couple of hours on the back end when he truly did not have to do either of those things! At any point Nathan could have called my emergency contact and been done with the whole thing but he stuck it out with me and beaux and truly made this an awesome experience! 5 stars isn’t enough! Thank you for everything my friend!”
“Jennifer was a great sitter for my girl. She was a good communicator and sent videos and pics often which was very appreciated. Jennifer was also patient and flexible as my “away situation” was a bit challenging and she was able to keep my girl longer than I had originally planned. Would highly recommend.”
“Tamara always goes above and beyond for Milo. She’s been so reliable and communicative and it’s so appreciated having someone that I can rely on for Milo!”
“Angel took such great care of our golden Rosie when she stayed with him for a week! She came back home tired and happy. Angel was great about providing us with updates and lots of pictures and videos so we could tell Rosie was having a great time with him and his resident pups. Would definitely recommend Angel!”
“I am impressed by how seriously Tamya is taking this job. She gave me a long list of information about Ivy to complete, so that she can get to know her well before the job starts. Tamya also posts photos of Ivy often, so I can see that she is doing well. I highly recommend her.”
