Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.

Kasey was an exceptional dog sitter! She took great care of our goldendoodle, ensuring she was happy and well-exercised. Her dogs were sweet and friendly to my dog too. Kasey communicated regularly, sending updates and photos that put our minds at ease. Her genuine love for dogs was evident, and we returned home to a relaxed and content dog. Highly recommend her services!

Miriam and Terrell are the sweetest ever! They send so many photos and videos so that you can see what your pet is doing. They like to do meet and greets so that you know where your pet is staying and they have tons of toys and treats for your dog so they feel right at home. They do daily out side breaks and Miriam works from home so you’ll have eyes on your pets 24/7. Both are them are so extremely sweet and treated my dog with such love and care I couldn’t ask for a better sitter and I could truly tell that my dog was loved for and taken care of to the best of his ability. They also give little report cards for your dog which is the cutest thing ever so you can see when they went outside, when they ate, when and what the played with and overall what your dog did over their stay. Truly recommend their services as they did an amazing job!

Phenomenal Experience with Michele G.! Michele went above and beyond to make sure she had everything in place for a smooth, happy weekend with our fur baby. From the moment we arrived, we could tell she was a genuinely kind and caring person—Skye immediately warmed up to her, tail wagging and full of excitement. Throughout our trip, Michele was always available for quick, friendly communication, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, Skye greeted us in high spirits, clearly having enjoyed her time. We’re so grateful for Michele’s attentiveness and warmth, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her in the future. Highly recommend!

Beatrice was a life-saver! She took our dog Pixel on short notice and was great to coordinate with for drop-off and pick-up. It was clear that she paid close attention and took great care of our pup; she sent sweet pictures of her each day, and returned her to us happy and exhausted after lots of walks and play time with other pups in Beatrice's care. We highly recommend this sitter (as well as her daughter Jazmin, the other Rover sitter at this house) - they're knowledgeable about dog behavior and training, conscious of dietary needs and other accommodations, and best of all, they're very active! Expect your dog to get lots of exercise, well-monitored socialization, and maybe even some scenic outdoor adventures! It's nice when your pet gets a vacation when you do!

Katy did a great job taking care of Charlie! I appreciated the pictures and updates while I was gone. I also had a last minute work emergency that would have made drop off before heading to the airport really tough, but Katy was very accommodating and picked Charlie up from my apartment. It was also very rainy while I was gone and I was mentally prepared to pick up a very dirty white dog that needed a bath immediately, so I was pleasantly surprised when I got Charlie and he looked very clean. Thanks Katy!

Sylvie cared for my dog, Milo, for 5 nights. She kept me updated throughout this time with adorable pictures and videos. All my concerns vanished when I could see Milo happily playing and eating his food. I was especially concerned that Milo wouldn’t eat while away from me but that didn’t turn out to be a problem with Sylvie!! I can’t say how much I appreciated Sylvie and will not hesitate to leave Milo in her care in the future.

About: I have had pet dogs and cats my whole life, and they have always been a cherished part of my family. I currently live in a non-pet-friendly apartment building, so Rover gives me the opportunity to care for pets while I can’t have one of my own. I work at a warehouse on second shift, so I am gone in the evenings and head back home around 1am. When housesitting, I’m able to provide care to your pets during the day until I leave for work at 3:30 pm i will do my best to adhere to your normal routine with your pets, and ensure that they are exercised, fed, and pottied before I leave for work. It is my goal to adhere to your pets’ normal routine as much as possible. When I am watching someone’s pets for the first time, I request details about their schedule, eating and play habits, special quirks, etc so that I am prepared to give them consistent and attentive care.

About: I have always had a dog or two for pets during my life. I would not know how to be without one. I have just recently become a lover of cats, too. My son has 4 and I find myself wanting to visit them often. I look forward to coming home after work and seeing the joy in my dogs eyes that I bring them. I would love to bring that same joy to your pet. I would be available to visit your pet from 3pm to 10pm during the weekdays and I am open on the weekends. I would love them and care for them like they were my own. I am patient. I would love the opportunity to meet your pet! P.S. I do not have a Facebook account. I would rather spend my time with people, friends, family, my pets and animals. Please contact me through email. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I work at the school as a librarian. I am available after 3 on weekdays,and all day on weekends. I am very flexible and reliable. I have a huge yard. I have a sweet little Morkie who would keep your dog company. I would provide security and love to your dog.

About: With a wealth of experience in various animal-related fields, my love for animals began at a young age when I volunteered for a local animal rescue for seven years. Once I entered the workforce, I spent several years as a Kennel Technician at Kendall County Animal Control. I then accepted a position at Springbrook Animal Care Center, where I cherished many years until the pandemic hit. I now work aa a Quality Assurance Coordinator for the elderly. Additionally I am an active volunteer and foster for a local rescue. I have been a pet sitter for many years, but I have been a professional pet sitter for over 3 years now. I am currently furthering my animal education by taking online courses on pet sitting and pet care. My focuses are primarily on reptiles, cats, dogs, fish, small critters, and exotics. Beyond my professional life I like to spend my time planning my next disney trip and tending to my garden. Moreover, my garden serves as a personal sanctuary, where I cultivate a variety of plants that attract local wildlife, from butterflies to birds. This connection with nature complements my love for animals, reminding me of the intricate web of life that we all share. Looking to the future, I hope to expand my skills and continue making a positive impact in the world of animal care, always driven by the simple yet profound joy that animals bring into our lives. My favorite animal is the Capybara

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

About: Hello! Kim and family here. We have over 30 years of animal care experience. From cats and dogs to lizards and horses. We feel comfortable with a variety of animals. With a background in law enforcement adjacent positions and a TS clearance. Clean background. Bachelors level education in behavioral science and criminal justice and security administration, as well as CPR certifications for humans and animals, and a vet assisting certification/experience! We can administer insulin and give oral medications. We also LOVE elderly animals. We are licensed bonded and insured. And have decades of the world under our feet. Animals are like people to us. We actually prefer them, and function with them better. Living on a five acre hobby farm for over a decade. They are literally our family now that the kids have aged into adults. It’s me and my husband Mike here. My family helps me operate a small pet care business out of Big Rock IL. House Sitting: We treat your home with respect and follow all of your rules. Water plants. Get mail. And stick to pet schedules. Please advise we do this full time. Each sitting is different as each animal and owner ask for different things. If full time care is needed it will be an extended stay rate of 125 for 8am through 8pm hours and 75 for the night. If we can’t come and go. We can’t make money. This is all I do for income and no one can survive off of only 75 or less for the day. Otherwise most sittings look like me making that my center of gravity through any schedule I have for the day. Usually no longer than four to six hours away from the home while out with drops in accrued in a single day. For Boarding: PLEASE READ: This is a home setting; we do not consistently tour our home. I believe the photos on here and reviews do us justice. We send pet parents updates with the surrounding view almost daily to every other day. Having people walk through the house consistently was just too much for out family and the farm animals here. So we do not do this anymore. In the future we may build a kennel/outbuildings addition, and will offer tours of that should the time ever come that we decide to do that. But again, WE DO NOT PROVIDE TOURS OF OUR PERSONAL HOME. There are also other considerations to consider that most residential people do not account for. 1. Liability coverage: my liability coverage covers your animals. Not you. 2. Animal anxiety: it’s a chain. The system I have for doing things allows for animals to be as calm and anxiety free as possible. If you’re on the property. The regulars don’t know you and anxiety fills the entire area. 3. Biosecurity: Don’t take this the wrong way. I don’t know where your shoes have been. 4. Private farm setting: exactly as it states. The lay out past my private acres long drive does not even allow access to my front door without going through two secured gates. It’s not easy access. 5. Safety: I live in the middle of nowhere, and do not need anyone to know the exact lay out of my home. You’re signing up for pet service. I am providing this service. Not giving people access to my home. Thank you for understanding. Please note this is a country setting. Someone is always here if I (Kim) am not. Sometimes photos have issues sending. But they always eventually go through. Service can be patchy because it’s the country. Text updates are reliably daily. I pride myself on building close relationships with my clients. I treat the animals I care for with top priority as my family does this full time and this is our entire income. Our reviews and the animals we care for speak for themselves. If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your animals with truth, trust, and transparency. That also has a family of well versed animal humans at her disposal as back up care approved through Rover. You are in the right place. Look forward to hearing from you. -Kimberly, Mike, and Family. Please note that prices will more than likely rise, since Rover has gone from taking 20 percent of each booking to now 30 percent from sitters. Prices must rise to enable us to continue providing service while combating this rise in inflation, not only on the platform, but in the world. Liability contract needed to continue service with the understanding that dogs bark, bite, scratch, and get into physical environmental factors. In a farm setting please make sure all of your animals are on needed monthly flea and tick preventative as well as heart guard. I have plenty of time for your pups and their specific needs/routines. We cater to every animal as if they were our own, and understand each one is special and different. We have a double fenced yard, with lots of open space indoors and out. Extra crates and or farm house furniture for your pets needs.

I absolutely love leaving my dog with Beyonka! My pup is always extremely happy when he goes to her place, and that gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s being well cared for. Every time I pick him up he smells delicious and looks so well-loved. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does. I 100% recommend her—she’s amazing!

Miriam was wonderful, absolutely wonderful with Katie, our terrier rescue. She let her sit on her lap while she worked. She had a raincoat, then a winter coat, on her when the weather got colder for her trips outdoors. She furnished these coats, I didn't bring any. A 3-page report card was given to me when I picked Katie up. It detailed her potty breaks and told cute little stories about their day together. I received numerous pics and videos that I thoroughly enjoyed. I met Terrell when I was leaving, and he seemed just as wonderful. I would give her 100 stars if I could.

Yesenia was so great. I was in from out of town and I had a gap between when we needed to be out of the Airbnb and when the class I came for ended. I needed some place to take my dog for a few hours. She was conveniently near where I needed to be. She attentively asked about my dog’s needs (she’s dog-reactive and has anxiety) and provided a safe space for her to be. My dog felt so relaxed that she fell asleep while cuddling with her. Would highly recommend Yesenia’s services!

About: Hello! My name is Kasey and I absolutely LOVE dogs. My whole life I have been a dog lover. I like big dogs, small dogs, and anywhere in between. I live in large house with plenty of space for your dog to roam and have a large, fenced back yard for exercise. Dogs are allowed on furniture in this house! I will watch your dog during the day or over night. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walking. I am home during the day, most days of the week, and can let your dog out to play or run or go potty frequently. I love to snuggle with dogs so don't worry about your dog feeling lonely. If dogs want to feel the comfort of their kennel or crate that is fine too. This is a loving home for all dogs.

About: I love all the furry babies, my own fur babies are treated like my children. I work from home, so your baby would have my attention through the entire day. We would have time to play, walk, snuggle, and bond. I have a large fenced in back yard. Your baby would feel at home and comfortable in my home, they would have full access to roam and wander. They also would be allowed on the couches / beds for snuggles and belly rubs. I work from home, giving me the flexibility to ensure your pup has plenty of time and attention. I have an 11 year old son who is just as much as an animal lover. I have a large fenced in back yard. My foxy girl loves to get her zoomies out back there, and loves playing fetch. My son will love on, play, and engage with your pup also.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since childhood. First it was cats, then dogs, and I’m now a proud owner of a Quaker parrot. I’m willing to walk or pet sit dogs, help pet sit cats at their own home, and the same with exotic birds. Someone is always home with the pet and we also help you dog get socialized with our parrot. When I had dogs, I let them sleep on the bed with us. I also let them sit on the furniture, too. And I do spoil them, also. I work full time in the afternoon shift but my boyfriend works mornings so there is always someone home. He loves animals, too! I do my best to work around my schedule. Our bird Kerry only goes in his cage when we are both out of the house and at bedtime. Otherwise, we let him out. Kerry is used to dogs. He likes to talk to dogs.

About: I was a dog owner for over 13 years. I had my Bruce from 10 weeks old until he passed. He was my best friend and I cherish the memories we made. I am experienced in puppy obedience training and senior care. I can walk, play, feed, bathe, brush and trim your dogs nails. I also have been an owner of our cat Kona for over 7 years. I have watched a cared for my family and friends pets for several years. As long as your pets are good with little girls 1 and 3 years old and a cat, then I’m the sitter for you. I have had the experience of watching dogs of all sizes and different temperaments. All pets of different breeds are welcome as we are lovers of all dogs. I will be sure to treat your pets like they’re mine, with the love and care that they deserve. I work full time from home and can take breaks to let your dog out to go potty, take them on walks and give them the love and care they deserve. I can also feed them on a daily schedule as advised. My family and I will also provide playtime and snuggles. I am also available to do drop in visits and dog walks after 3PM during the week and anytime during the weekend. I can take your dog out on leash as we currently don’t have a fenced in backyard. Your pet can stay by me in my office/basement, play with my kids when they’re home or easily be crated. I will make sure all the kids toys are put away and out of reach of the pets. Please be sure to have your pets updated on vaccinations.

About: I have been a dog lover my whole life. I've had my own furry babies and have taken care of dogs for my friends and family. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, so I understand the patience it takes to have dogs at all age levels. I work from home Monday through Friday and am off on the weekends. Besides some drop offs and pick ups to and from sports during the week, your furry baby will never be lonely. If they like car rides, I will be more than happy to take them along. Each dog is special in their own way so it's very important that I take my queue from them. If they love cuddles and belly rubs, I'm there. If they love to play, we have a fenced yard where we can play and run around. If they love to sit back, relax and observe, I will give them their space until they're ready. Every pet will be treated as if they were my own.

I work full time and I am up bright an early. I can let you dogs out before and after work on weekdays. On weekend I can do drop ins, daycare and boarding at the owners house. I have reliable transportation. I will not have pets at my apartment due to size. I'd rather go to the owner's home for an easier transition for the dog/cat. To make it easier, I need a detailed schedule and a phone number to contact owners for updates and photos.

About: Hi there, my name is Sami! I've lived with dogs my whole life, big and small - some of which include a Golden Retriever, a Yorkie, and a Maltese. My sister occasionally comes over with her Goldendoodle, and I love spending time with my aunt's Bernese Mountain Dogs when I can visit them. I plan to adopt my own dog later in the future, and perhaps enroll them as a therapy dog to bring comfort to others. I've watched both my sister's and parents' dogs while they are away for the day, and I have some experience in caring for them when they were puppies. I used to walk my parents' dogs in the past, as well. I enjoy interacting with dogs as a whole, and I put their safety and comfort first. I'm an introvert who lives a quiet lifestyle, but I also love to have fun, so if your furry friend needs someone to hang out with while you're away, I'll be there for them! NOTE: Though I adore cats, I am unfortunately allergic and therefore cannot interact with them directly if you have any in your home. I can still feed or play with them via a cat teaser or laser pointer, but I cannot pet them or pick them up. :( Currently, I am seeking full-time work in my field of behavioral therapy. I am in the early stages of hire at an elementary school in Minooka, so I will be manually updating my Rover schedule to provide some availability Monday through Friday, with 4:00pm at the earliest. On Saturdays and Sundays, I am available during afternoons and evenings, though prior arrangements in advance can be made for a morning walk or drop-in visit! I will update my schedule as soon as anything changes. If you have any questions regarding my schedule for a particular day or week, please don’t hesitate to message me! IMPORTANT: As per Rover’s Terms of Service, please note that I cannot share private contact details or accept methods of payment outside of Rover. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved. When out on a walk, I will make sure your friend is kept safe and away from hazards or things they may be uncomfortable with. When dropping in for a visit, I will make sure their needs are met and everything is secured for their safety. They would never be left unsupervised, and they'll get lots of love and playtime! I will gladly send photos and text updates upon request. Please do let me know your communication frequency preferences, so I don't accidentally disturb you with messages!

I’m very attentive when it comes to taking care of senior dogs and their needs. As well as being just as playful as puppies are. I’m currently on summer break before I go to college to become a pediatrician. This being said, my schedule is very available for a long while! For my dog at home, I treat her like family! I walk her daily, feed her twice a day, and give her snuggles and lots of love. I take her outside in the backyard about every hour in the fenced in backyard and she’ll run around and go nuts chasing her ball, and running after rabbits.

About: My passion for dogs has been with me since a very young age. As a child, my dream was to be a vet because of my passion and love for animals. I have 20 years of service, and my approach to caring for my dogs at home has always been holistic and natural. I've reversed my dog's diagnosed disease naturally and have saved his life naturally when vets have told me to put my dog to sleep. I'm thorough with my dogs’ routine, medication, diet, and cleaning eating. That makes me highly prepared for the dogs I tend to. Fun fact: My family and I own 17 pets! Usually, when everyone goes on a family trip, I'm the caregiver for all our pets at once. Hopefully, the background I give of my experience gives you peace in choosing me to watch your babies 🐩🐶🐕 I do freelance work; it's my main source of income. Therefore, it’s easy to create my own schedule and very flexible days and hours. It will be easier for you to book with me as I strive to work with your schedule and needs effortlessly Personally, with my own dog, I'm highly attentive. Even though we have a backyard, I strongly believe in always being present and attentive when taking your dog out to potty. Even in your own backyard! Anytime they are outside, I will be present. I also think it’s important to interact and be present regularly with them; they need attention and love, too. I make sure to spend time with my dog when I come home and make time to play, cuddle, and show him affection . Also, it's important for me to take him out of the house. Even if it's a short walk, cruising in the car to pick up errands or food. It's important for them to explore and experience different environments.

As long as there is a routine, it will not get switched. I understand the psychological needs of a dog and when owners leave, new people are in the home, it can cause stress to the animal. Having the same routine can eliminate stress.

About: I recently lost my soul dog, Wilson. He was a 14 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. He is in the picture with me. I have a second Cavalier named Auggie. I worked with Wilson to become a certified therapy dog. He retired when he was 10. When he was around 9 he became deaf. Therefore, I have years of experience with a deaf dog. I have experience with dogs from puppy through old age. My grown children also have dogs. I have included some of those dogs in the pictures. We have a bulldog, a golden retriever, a boxer, a lab, and several mixed breed rescues in our family! I have decided to offer my services on Rover to help fill a void after losing my beloved Wilson. I look forward to loving your dog as my own! I work full-time but am home on weekends and have extended breaks in my work when I am home. My home is set up for animals but I am also willing to provide services in your home. For care in my home, I have a large yard in a park-like setting. My house is set up for pets with limited carpet, doggie steps to lay on a comfy couch, windows to watch squirrels and keep an eye on the mailman. I am also available to love your pets in your home.

About: Hi my name is Asia. I’m really excited to have extra income but I’m more in it for the loving animals. Animals are my life! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets to care for. I have two bearded dragons, two cats, one dog, and one fish. In the mornings I go to the gym and after I’m pretty much open throughout the day until school starts, which is in the beginning of January. Feeding and watering animals,Playing with them and keeping them company, Walking the dogs, Grooming and brushing the animals' coats, Changing the cat's litter box, Providing health care if necessary.

About: My pet care experience consists of having a dog throughout my childhood and adult years. I've always loved the companionship of owning a dog and also visiting or babysitting families and friends' dogs/cats. With having a dog comes a lot of responsibility and attention whether that's feeding, letting outside, physical activity, and training. I'm experienced in all of those qualities. The pet care that I will be using through the new dogs and cats I meet are the basics of giving treats, going for walks, and playing fetch or ball. Those basics are important and useful for dog caregivers because any dog would love the attention and care that you are giving them unconditionally. I'm also experienced in grooming with bathing the pet if needed. Whether that's outside with a hose and soap or inside in a bathtub. Dogs are my best friends and should be treated with love and companionship therefore I would treat the dog and make sure they are happy and comfortable but also safe and calm at all times. My schedule is very flexible and in the case of babysitting or walking a dog, I will be attentive and responsible. Since I currently have a dog at home I take her outside frequently, stay outside with her and walk around the backyard or throw a toy and play fetch or even just sit in the grass and give her belly rubs. My daily routine consists of letting my dog outside and hanging out with her off and on while also letting her have time to rest and chill by herself. My weekly routine is the same as my daily routine aside from additional car rides, pup cups, or cousin visits with other dogs. The safety, trust & Environment of the care for the pet in my home and or my client's home will consist of making sure all doors are shut when entering and exiting the home or garage. Also making sure the dog is on a leash and well equipped when walking through a neighborhood. I also have a fenced-in yard so I'm experienced with fences and the proper precautions if needed. I can easily create your dog too if needed. Also water supply and refilling the water bowl as needed and giving supplements or medicine also. Also will have the clients contact information in case of emergency.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and naturally when I was old enough to start working with them I did. From the age of 10 I volunteered with the animal clinics; walking dogs, cleaning up after them, medicating them, feeding them, bathing them, even sometimes having to help restrain them. I started learning how to work with dogs from a young age and when I was 15 I started working as a kennel assistant/worker at a veterinary hospital where I eventually gained more responsibilities and experience in the veterinary field and became a vet tech through experience. Even though I work a full time job M-W, I work from home. I am also a stay-at-home-mom, so I am almost always home. When I am not actively interacting with my dogs I like to give them enrichment toys. If were outside we go out for an hour or so every 2-3 hours. If I know it's a stay in the house kind of day we feed through games. I love taking my girls for "adventures" every chance we get for socialization, even if that means we just go sit at the ball park and sit and watch. I have an unfunded yard, however I have 3 tie outs and a large outdoor dog pen. I have a small house, but I have an attached single car garage that has been converted into an extra room for the dogs. I have 2 friendly dogs that will be able to keep your fur baby company.

Leslie was amazing!!! It was obvious right away that my dogs loved her. She was so good with Molly and Bear, whether it was playtime or snuggle time. And she was absolutely wonderful about keeping us updated regularly! It’s hard to leave my pups, but her updates and pictures made it a lot easier. Leslie really cares for your pups. She is truly wonderful.

Kasey was an exceptional dog sitter! She took great care of our goldendoodle, ensuring she was happy and well-exercised. Her dogs were sweet and friendly to my dog too. Kasey communicated regularly, sending updates and photos that put our minds at ease. Her genuine love for dogs was evident, and we returned home to a relaxed and content dog. Highly recommend her services!

Katy did a great job taking care of Charlie! I appreciated the pictures and updates while I was gone. I also had a last minute work emergency that would have made drop off before heading to the airport really tough, but Katy was very accommodating and picked Charlie up from my apartment. It was also very rainy while I was gone and I was mentally prepared to pick up a very dirty white dog that needed a bath immediately, so I was pleasantly surprised when I got Charlie and he looked very clean. Thanks Katy!

5 Stars! This is the second time Kathleen has come through for us on a very last second basis with no problem whatsoever!! She was more than happy to watch our elderly lab both times. She is extremely reliable, flexible, loving and affordable! Her and her family take such great care of your fur babies while you're away. She is so quick to respond and sends pictures and updates daily. I can't say enough good things about Kathleen and the wonderful work that she does taking care of dogs in her home so families can have peace of mind while they are away. We've found our forever sitter :> :)

We were fortunate to find Shannon. We have a somewhat special needs dog (Sandy) and didn’t think we could find an appropriate sitter. But Sandy quickly accepted Shannon and her two beautiful dogs, Lex and Captain Black. We were able to enjoy a worry free trip knowing Sandy was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Shannon and will use her service in the future.
