“Mercedes has been nothing but wonderful. She took great care of our puppy who was only 5 months old. There was never a moment I had to worry about my dog not being in good care. She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures, and ensured us she was having a great time. She took our puppy on many walks and played with her lots! Her husband and her kids also loved the dog and got many pictures of them cuddling with her. I cannot recommend her enough, and went above and beyond! Mercedes is passionate about taking care of dogs and her kids and husband also have a deep love for animals. Next time we got out of town she will be the first person we call and recommend her to all our family and friends!”
“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.”
“I recently had the pleasure of booking Kendra for a last minute weekend stay for my favorite fur baby Rogue. Kendra got back to me rapidly after I requested to book and immediately set up a meet and greet session in an area convenient for the both of us. She has very good energy and her natural love and care for dogs showed right away in how she greeted Rogue. She was very clear on her instructions for the weekend stay and sent ample updates and pics to make sure we knew that Rogues was being well taken care of during her stay. I would definitely book Kendra again, and felt that she did a wonderful job taking care of our dog especially with such short notice.”
“When we meet Tanisha I knew she was special. Her interview was thorough and professional. Her credentials were obvious. I was only looking for an occassional sitter, and someone i could board Charley with during my vacation. The next couple of months proved that i had made the best decision ever in selecting Tanisha. We have had consistent daycare since January 2017 and i was so at ease boarding Charley for my 6 day vacation in April. I could not have found a more caring and competent person to care for my Charley. She is so committed to quality care. She provides frequent communications including pictures to keep you at ease with the stay. She notices things about Charley's behavior that I may have been curious about and offers training solutions. We will be with Tanisha as long as she will have us. Since Charley and Zuri are now bffs she can never get rid of us. ”
“My dog Buddy had the best of time with Janet. I would highly recommend Janet. Buddy was almost sad returning home. I received pictures during the stay which I really loved. Thank you Janet for making my dog feel at home and loved!”
“Genuinely the most kind hearted and understanding person I have ever met in my life. Was so patient and flexible during the most chaotic move I have ever experienced.”
“It was our first time boarding Koda, so we were a little nervous about how he would handle it. Megan made the entire experience incredibly comforting and seamless. She kept us updated throughout the day, responded quickly, and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone.”
“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!”
“Amy was amazing! I left my cat Dino in her care for over a week, and she was very communicative, kind, and caring for my cat. By the end of his stay, he was even cuddling with her throughout the night because of how comfortable he was. Will definitely book again! 10/10 service would recommend”
“I'm so grateful for Iman! My senior dog got sick the day before my trip; she was flexible with the drop-off time so that I could get him to the vet before bringing him over. I'm always anxious about leaving my dog if he's not feeling well, but Iman is so attentive and communicative I had total peace of mind while I was out of town. When I picked up my dog he was in a great mood and his appetite was coming back. Thanks so much Iman!!”
“Data was great at sending pictures and staying in constant communication. Piper probably got more walks there than she does when we are at home! Piper was comfortable and happy the whole time!”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“Liliana and her family gave me such peace of mind to leave my Whiskey in their care. The initial visit with the family in their beautiful home was so warm and friendly. And while I was away, I was so grateful for the updates and pics throughout each day. Whiskey got attached to one of Liliana’s teenage daughters. So sweet!”
“First time using the app and found the perfect sitter. Pictures to keep me updated while we were on vacation helped me not to worry. My pup looked like she loved every minute.”
“Sarai was awesome. Even though our conversations were short due to a language barrier, she took care of Aly like she was one of her own. She allowed her to burrow on her sofa and even sleep on her bed. Aly had play time with other dogs and she had fun romping around in a huge fenced in yard. Sarai also updated daily with photos and videos. I will be booking her again for two weeks.”
“Kamiah and Casius took great care of our dog, Ziggy, over the holidays. They were easy to communicate with and sent a daily video to let us know Ziggy was doing ok. Drop-off was quick and easy, and Kamiah kindly brought Ziggy back to us at the end of the week. Would definitely recommend!”
“This whole experience has been just amazing. From the constant reassurance of videos and texts to the undeniable love for dogs is what made us so happy with the care we received for Milo. We were a little wary leaving our little guy for a couple of days, but we’re very surprised to learn he was having a better time there than he was at home. He made a lot of little friends and received so much love. Will definitely be booking again in the future!!!!!”

“Kathryn is a very conscientious worker, and the pet sitter of my dreams! She spent extensive time with my cat, way beyond my expectations. She gave Jim Cats by constant attention, and he loved her and looked content in the many fabulous photos she sent. I was thrilled to feel connected through these updates, and to see my cat luxuriating in the petting and good care. Kathryn also diligently communicated about house challenges and solved them— again, going above and beyond. She is very flexible, patient. understanding, and helpful. Somehow Kathryn also made time to leave the house in perfect condition, exactly as she found it. She is a fantastic worker and pet whisperer, and we hope she will come back many times in the future.”
About: I have over 13 years experience doing vet assistant and vet technician tasks and skills as a volunteer at The Animal Welfare League in Chicago Ridge, IL. I have been employed as part of the membership and philanthropic department at Lincoln Park Zoo from which I learned a great deal, stemming from my biology classes on taxonomy to zoology, to specific animal facts and conservation of threatened animals. I therefore know a great deal of educational background on animal behavior. I studied psychology and comparitive human psychology/animal behavior with a bachelors in science from IIT. I have grown up with dogs, cats, and ferrets. At Southwest Animal Care Center, I bathed, fed, walked, medicated, and cared for boarding and patient animals. I graduated with my veterinary assistant certificate in 2018. After graduating from IIT, I became a kennel attendant and learned a great deal about how to care for animals. Pet care is a daily task for me as I take care for two little fuzzbutt ferrets, Icarus and Agatha. Icarus often wakes me up with his bushy tailed excitement. I'm lucky to have such wonderful critters in my life. Right now, I am only offering dog walking and off-site at client's home services. From what I've read from the anthropologist book "Inside of a Dog" by Alexandra Horowitz, animals, especially dogs, crave human attention so being attentive to an animal's needs is to me, what's most important. This includes communicating with animals to know when they need a bathroom break, when they want play, when they want affection and cuddles, when they want nappy time, being fed according to what their schedule is, and of course, offering healthy treats (if allowed) and new novel smells, toys, etc. I can manage 4-5 walks per day with one or multiple dogs at a time 5-6 days a week. This is my main job and I'm dedicated to providing top care as if they are my own. I take extra care to be a courteous and contentious guest in the owner's home. I treat my stay with respect and humbly care. You can trust me to provide excellent care and keep everything tidy and clean.
“Tara was great with my sassy cat Jolene. I appreciate all the updates and additional help bringing packages in and checking on our turtle! Would absolutely book again!!! Thank you Tara.”
About: I love dogs. I have had one Doberman, one mutt who was the best, and two English Mastiffs. I had a dog everyday of my life until five years ago when my 200 pound English Mastiff named Max died. It broke my heart and hasn't felt right to replace him. But I love dogs and cherish watching the relationship people have with their dogs. I say hi to every pooch on the street that I pass. Rest assured, your dog will be treated with the utmost friendliness and care imaginable. I work from home so your dog will always have a friendly companion around. A side note. No Pit Bulls, No Rottweilers, No Stafford Terriers, No Husky of any sort, and No Doodles of any sort. I'm sure if any of these five dogs are part of your family that you are a wonderful person and so is your dog. However, they are far from my cup of tea. I work from home. I'm home basically all the time. And other than that, I just work on landscaping my front and back yards. I have a fenced in yard. Your pet is in great hands. I work from home.

“SO amazing!!!! Gionna is so friendly and such a pleasure to work with. Not only did she take care of everything we needed for our kitty while we were gone but she went above and beyond to accommodate our kitty’s initial shyness and with Gionna’s patience and knowledge of cats, she was able to get her to come out and play/cuddle too!!! Gionna is so great and really helped us to be able to relax and trust our beloved pet was well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you so SO much again for being so awesome Gionna!!!!!!”
About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs, and finally welcomed my own pup, Leia, into my life five years ago. Since then, I’ve handled all of her training, walks, feeding schedule, etc., myself. I learned a lot from years of watching "It’s Me or the Dog," and put what I've learned into practice with my dog, Leia. What sets me apart is my mix of genuine love for dogs, hands‑on training experience, and a calm, reliable presence. I’m excited to meet your pup and give them a walk they’ll remember; one that’s safe, stimulating, and tailored to their personality. I am a college student at DePaul University, majoring in Finance and Criminology. I commute on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I am free to walk your furry friend any day that isn't Tuesday or Thursday :) I have one energetic five-year-old Wheaton terrier whom I have trained by myself. I walk her at least once a day, feed her, play with her, and train her when time allows. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow your established rules and routines to ensure your dog feels comfortable and stress‑free. I pay close attention to safety — from securely leashing during walks to double‑checking doors, gates, and feeding instructions. My goal is to treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I give my own.
“Patrick took excellent care of my senior cat. He proactively sent me photos and let me know when he checked in on her. He sent photos almost daily which I appreciated. It was great to come home to a clean home and love on my cat. I'm grateful to have a great sitter closeby.”
About: I have had dogs many years. We have had different kinds of dogs, such as Rottweiler/German Shepard mix, medium and small. Sat for senior dogs needing a little extra help with ambulation and medication. We have two energetic -boys to play with and take for walks around the dog friendly neighborhood. We have one healthy 17 year old Dachshund in home now that we adopted, who has been with us for over 12 years, who warm ups with guest dogs pretty quickly. Looking forward to have different dogs to share our love and time taking care of them. Took a from ROVER sitting when a kitten adopted our family and we needed to learn to care for cats. Ready to reconnect with dog again. Family oriented care for dogs of all sizes and breeds. Looking to walk or drop in care. Flexible once we meet the pet and owners. Will walk and go into home as requested. High energy or snuggles as needed to accommodate the needs of the dogs and keep them safe while caring for them.
About: I absolutely love all animals, especially dogs and cats! I have experience dog-sitting and dog-walking in the past, and I would love to expand and sit more frequently!! I am currently a college student, meaning the summers I have a lot of free time on my hands! I do not have a summer job this year, meaning I have a lot of time to pet-sit! I do not offer pet-sitting in my own home, as I am a student living with my family. I am very clean, and will always keep client's homes tidy and left the way I came! When caring for pets, I always follow client's feeding/walking schedules, and play with them!
“I would love to say that Ethel is the only sitter I have tried, and I am honestly never going to try another person. My cat is always well taken care of when I am gone. Ethel communicated with me everyday and always has. Thank you!”
About: I've volunteered with TNR groups, fostered strays, and have provided cat sitting services for 8+ years! I have experience with kittens, adults, and seniors. Senior cats in their golden years will always have a special place in my heart!

“She is such a great person inside and out! Did a doggy date care to have my puppy aquatinted with her kids and other dogs she was boarding and everything went well! She even gave my puppy a bath. I was very comfortable and satisfied to know my dog was and is in good hands! Highly recommend!!!”
“Great experience with Ethel. We came in from out of town to watch a Red Stars game and she took care of our bernedoodle, Frankie. Ethel’s place is a very short way from SeatGeek Stadium and Frankie came back to us happy.”
“Jim was great, the dogs ran right in his house and started inspecting. Kinda like when you think your kid is going to want to stay with you on the first day of preschool and they run in without looking back. Jim will definitely be first choice going forward.”
“Barb is very nice person!! She watched my dog last minute and was awesome! He seemed to have a good time at her house playing with her pups. She sent over pics and videos thru the day. When he left she even gave him a gift with a toy inside which was extremely thoughtful of her. We will definitely be using her again.”
About: We have had dogs in my household growing up since I was an infant. I grew up with dog care responsibilities and chores my entire life. I have a very flexible work from home schedule so I am home all day. I have plenty of time for play time and walks! I do not currently have any dogs but I do have a fenced yard to keep your doggie safe and a large office with plenty of space for them to hang out with me when they’re inside.
“Julian is very good with my sammy. He was gentle and kind and got my sammy to do things he was never doing in the house and that’s with one day with him! Julian kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout the day which really reassured me and my peace of mind. Definitely will be returning with sammy in the future!”
“Amy was absolutely wonderful with my puppy, Bambi! She was extremely flexible with my schedule, had excellent communication throughout the day, and made me feel completely at ease while I was at work. It means so much to know my fur baby was in such caring hands. Thank you so much, Amy, for taking such great care of Bambi. I will definitely be using you again!”
About: My wife and I have had dogs for over 25 years, we would love the chance to take in your pup while you're away. Be careful they might come home spoiled. I am able to give injections if needed, have experience with senior dogs. I am retired and able to take care of your dog 24/7. My wife is home by early afternoon and home on weekends, to also help with your dog's needs. I have a big fenced in backyard and a dog of my own for your pup to play with, he's about 50lbs. and loves to play ball.
About: Animals are freakin awesome and I love them! I've had snails, a bird, frogs, co-owned cats (one at a time), as well as cat sit. I grew up with a dog, and spent 15+years with my beloved baby Shiba Inu Kenji. He had one eye, lots of arthritis, kidney issues, and half his teeth in the end but was full of life! Very familiar with meds and schedules and special needs, natural food etc. Not ready for another and didn't know much about this service. I wish l'd have known, so let me help YOU! (Note- i cannot take dogs over 60lbs, check box options are limited. Thanks for understanding) I work from home so can be available for full days, or as needed. Weekends I may have some things to do but will prioritize where needed. I do not have a crate, but you can provide. Otherwise I have bowls and beds and cones of shame as well as soft flower cone where needed. I also have gates and a pen, and multiple doors. I treat my animals (mine or family friends) like a kid. Safety always, lots of love, and a fun time!

About: I’ve had pets all my life. I adore all sizes, dogs or cats! I’d love to play/walk with them. And of course take care of any other needs they might need I mostly work night shifts. I’m free mornings and afternoons. I’m also willing to stay with your fur babies during the day while you’re at work. I’m happy to take your dogs on walks or to parks to let out their energy. And for your cats I have two of my own so I know how to fully care for them as well
About: I can guarantee your pet is cared for and has everything they need to be comfortable. Their needs will be prioritized and met. My whole life pets have gravitated towards me and felt safe next to me. Pet care is in my everyday routine because I have my dog Oreo. From the time I wake up, my Oreo is there and ready to start the day with me. He loves going outside first thing and then coming back in to eat and relax. We also have daily walks and enrichment activities to keep him healthy. I care for pets by providing fresh and clean food and water, clean litter or outside potty breaks, attention and enrichment through playing, and a comfortable place to sleep & relax. (and of course treats!)
About: My love for animals is endless! I have had pets for 25 years. I helped care for and train all of our past pets, small and big! I currently am not working, so I have a lot of free time. I am available all days of the week, including weekends as well. I do live in a condominium. But I live in a nice community that has trails, parks, and sidewalks that your pet will be sure to enjoy! We just took in the cutest male cat. He is so playful and loves to play! Super friendly and getting along very well with others
“Athena took wonderful care of our 9-year old yellow lab. She was available less than 24 hours for 1 day of dog sitting. Our dog was happy and relaxed when we picked her up. I highly recommend Athena to watch your pet!”
“Sarai did great with our dogs. They immediately felt at home with her, and they came home happy and well cared for. She sent photos and video of their visit. Her house was clean, and she had a nice big yard for them to run around outside. She was great!!”

“I recently adopted a rescue who is having a hard time adjusting to new people. Kathryn did a great job with him! Despite him growling at her she was patient with him and helped him calm down so she could walk him. She was reliable and understanding. I then asked her if she could come again last minute and without hesitation she agreed! I would definitely work with Kathryn again!”

“June can be nervous initially but warmed up to Patrycja quickly! I can tell June enjoyed her walks by the pictures and updates sent! Patrycja really went above and beyond to make sure June was comfortable! We both appreciated the help today! Thank you!”
About: Hi! I'm looking for new wonderful pets to walk and take care of! I have taken in four rescues, all with different special physical and behavioral needs. I currently have two Pitbull mixes, one Lab mix, and a multiple tropical aquariums! Caring for animals has been a passion of mine since I was young. A favorite activity of mine is taking my dogs to local forest preserves where they can play and exert their energy. I can administer eye drops, pills, and ointments to pets as my own have different medications that they need on a regular basis. I have also taken classes in care for companion animals. Special needs animals have a forever place in my heart because I believe that every pup or cat deserves to enjoy life to the fullest! Whether that is hiking at a trail, swimming in a lake, or curling up on the couch- I'd love to help them do that! Currently very open for scheduling. Stays for over a week will have to be discussed as I do have to ensure time to take care of my own animals. I do not host animals in my own home, but I am adaptable to a variety of routines and activities you and your pet would enjoy.
About: I have had my dog now for almost 10 years. I used to care for my dog as well as a roommates dog at one point. I can give medications and can provide First Aid/Heimlich if needed. Strong enough to hold back and tame my 60 pound Boxer mix. I’ve also helped care/walk my sisters Great Dane and my friends smaller dogs for 7 years or so. I love animals and if you have other little friends who need care, just let me know what to do and I’ll do it. I work night shift as an ICU Nurse so I’m home all day. I can pop in and check on your babies any time during the day. I would need to know in advance only cause I do eventually sleep during the day. I’m aware you are trusting me with one of the most important members of your family, I’ll be happy to leave a photo and an update of any changes , good or bad, so you can enjoy some peace of mind that everything is alright.

“With the busy schedules my husband and I have, we use Melissa weekly for recurring walks. She is great about picking up extra walks when we need, so our fur baby has some consistency with all traveling I do for work. Bruno loves her and I love the peace of mind she gives us! Thanks Melissa for all you do!”
About: I enjoy one on one care with your pets only, I’d like to dedicate walks and playtime for just them when needed in your home or mine.

I am very attentive to any special needs or unique quirks your pet may have. I want to let your pets personality shine and give them encouragement to live happy lives.
“Gionna was great! From the first message I sent to inquire through the last message after her last walk with Roxy! Her communication was spot on and her care for Roxy was very assuring. She came for a meet and greet since she was Roxy’s first walker. They hit it off and had great walks while I was gone making me more relaxed and less worried to enjoy my weekend away. Thank you Gionna, we can’t wait to work with you again!”
“My Stella and I were extremely happy with Margaret’s dog walking services. My Stella loved her at first sight. A sixty-one pound dog can be hard to handle and Margaret handled Stella with ease. Always willing to accommodate changed walking times, extremely reliable and very friendly. I plan on using Margaret in the future. Five star service for sure!”
About: As a professional pet photographer, my approach to pet care is rooted in patience, kindness, and a safety-first mindset.

My top priority during every drop-in visit or walk is to provide a calm, reliable, and trustworthy experience for both you and your pet. I am highly detail-oriented and take pride in strictly following your specific feeding, scheduling, and safety instructions so your pet's routine stays exactly the way they like it.

“My first dog, I’m SUPER overprotective and neurotic about her, lol:). Ami was soooo wonderful with my “baby.” She’s trustworthy, honest, flexible, caring and knowledgeable about dogs! My baby LOVES her! Highly recommend!”
About: Available on some weekdays and weekends, will incorporate lots of exercise and playtime, have years of experience with caring for dogs, like my dog Benji. I don’t prefer to do house-boarding just because my current family dog isn’t dog-friendly with others. Because I grew up without a dog and have always wanted one, I was hoping to fulfill that gap with caring for other dogs. I am responsible enough to ensure everything will go smoothly, and have a calm demeanor in case of emergencies. Having always been a dog lover, I can provide you with the service of being rest assured that the relationship between your dog and me will be a reciprocal and enjoyable one! No guarantees of feelings not becoming attached however! If you are looking for an involved, energetic playmate for your dog or simply a caretaker, I can be of generous service to you and your dog.

“Mercedes has been nothing but wonderful. She took great care of our puppy who was only 5 months old. There was never a moment I had to worry about my dog not being in good care. She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures, and ensured us she was having a great time. She took our puppy on many walks and played with her lots! Her husband and her kids also loved the dog and got many pictures of them cuddling with her. I cannot recommend her enough, and went above and beyond! Mercedes is passionate about taking care of dogs and her kids and husband also have a deep love for animals. Next time we got out of town she will be the first person we call and recommend her to all our family and friends!”
“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.”
“Genuinely the most kind hearted and understanding person I have ever met in my life. Was so patient and flexible during the most chaotic move I have ever experienced.”
“It was our first time boarding Koda, so we were a little nervous about how he would handle it. Megan made the entire experience incredibly comforting and seamless. She kept us updated throughout the day, responded quickly, and truly put our minds at ease. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Data was great at sending pictures and staying in constant communication. Piper probably got more walks there than she does when we are at home! Piper was comfortable and happy the whole time!”
“Bridget was amazing with our dog, Miller. Miller has separation anxiety and can be a hit or miss with sitters, but he warmed up to Bridget and her family right away. Great communication and felt extremely comfortable. Would highly recommend to let your dog stay with her family and pup of her own who is both adorable and friendly.”
“Susseth made this process easygoing. We’ve had our pup dog for 9yrs and have never left her alone this long. Loved the communication Susseth maintained with us throughout our trip to give us peace of mind our Ariel was doing well. Will definitely work with Susseth again!”
“Shani responded quickly to take a last minute long term booking. She was very communicative & hands on with Malcolm. Felt very comfortable leaving my baby while out of the country.”
“Monae did an excellent job watching my puppy! She took him on a walk, gave him cuddles, & playtime! She even sent pictures videos! Thank you for watching my furbaby!! Milo had a wonderful time and enjoyed his sleepover !”
“Tonisa watched my dog last minute after an emergency when I needed someone the most. She cared for my baby and communicated consistently. I highly recommend her!”
“Guillermina took very good care of my chicle! She sent me photos and videos! I felt very comfortable having her take care of him! Definitely recommendable. 10/10”
“Barbara was an amazing sitter! She watched our two dogs for 6 days and kept us updated daily with pictures and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. This was our first time using Rover, and she made the whole experience easy and stress-free. We were also completely comfortable with her watching other dogs, it gave ours a chance to socialize and play. She even accommodated giving one of our dogs his daily medication, which we really appreciated. Our dogs came home super happy, I honestly think they miss it lol. She was attentive, professional, and very caring. We also appreciated the meet and greet and thoughtful small gift. I highly recommend Barbara and would definitely book with her again!”
“I am so glad to have had the pleasure to meet Stefanie. I was in a real bind trying to find a last minute sitter for my dog Shelby. Although I was a bit nervous because my dog usually travels with me, Stefanie assured me that all would be OK. I left feeling totally comfortable and confident that I would be leaving Shelby in good hands. Except for a small hiccup in times, everything was GREAT!! I would definitely recommend and l, will for sure be using her again. Thanks Stefanie!!”
“Ethel did a great job with my dog bacon. She kept in contact with me throughout the visit. Bacon seemed to be happy and had other dogs to play with. Ethel was easy to contact and kept all appointments.”
“I'm always anxious about leaving my little shadow dog, Jezebel ? in anyone else's care while I'm far away on vacation. But Cary B. and her awesome family took good care of her for me. I'm already making plans for next year's vacation,and will definitely be booking again with Cary B.”
“"Brandon is an excellent and reliable dog sitter. He provided exceptional care for my dog, Cookie, ensuring she was happy and well-tended to. I highly recommend his services for anyone looking for dependable pet care!"”
“E is amazing in every way!! It was already awesome that she took the booking so last minute. She’s great with communicating and being on time with the pick up and drop offs. Diamond came back home as if she never left, her energy and spirits were great! I’m not sure I was even missed lol. Will definitely book with her and her family again!”
“Tamara is a sweetheart! We were in town for the Stones concert and needed a sitter for the night! She was very nice, prompt and kept us updated. Our Boston, Maggie, loved her and had a great time. Next time we are passing thru town we will definitely contact Tamara. Thanks so much!”
