“Destinee watched our dog for a long weekend and did an amazing job! She sent daily updates and photos, and was so thoughtful in slowly introducing him to new dogs since we recently adopted him and weren’t sure how he’d do off leash. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for!”

“What a great experience! Kelli and her husband Curtis are the nicest people I've ever met! Check-ins and photos made it clear they really cared for my dog and made her feel at home. The country setting was ideal. My dog Cassie loved it!”

“The BEST dogsitter!! Sarah and her husband take the best care of our dog and send frequent photos, loved the pictures she sent with our pup wearing a sombrero for Cinco de Mayo! I always know she is being well taken care of at her house and doesn’t want to leave!”

“This was our first time using Rover and Victoria did a great job of putting us at ease. She sent updates/pictures of how he was doing and was quick to respond to any requests. We would definitely use her again if needed!”

“Alisa was fantastic with Roxi, our Mini Australian Shepherd! Roxi can sometimes be a little unsure in new situations, but from the moment we walked in, she clearly felt comfortable. We received several texts and photos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication was great and it was obvious Roxi was getting lots of attention and care. We would absolutely trust her to watch Roxi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable sitter who can handle high energy dogs!”

“Joshua and Kate were so reliable and took care of our babies! We would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a sitter. Also made us feel good to get pictures/videos of them playing ☺️”

“Our Lila was well cared for and loved by Emily and family. She felt right at home and enjoyed the quiet environment with lots of country fresh air. We would use Emily again.”

“Molly's stay went well by all accounts. There was a small crew of dogs there for her to play and interact with. She seemed like she had a good time during her stay. Anne was great to deal with. She responded quickly and I appreciated her flexibility for pickup. I would recommend her for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you.”

“Susan provided the perfect environment for my senior beagle. She and her husband are retired so they’re able to be with your pet 24 /7 . Bess received lots of ear and belly rubs and love sleeping by their fireplace.There are no small children running around and she has a nice fenced in backyard. my beagle thoroughly enjoyed herself and I don’t think she really wanted to come home.”

“Emily was great with our golden retriever! She sent us a pic of her after playing hard outside in the sprinkler. Its been two days after her stay and she is still worn out! Im happy she was in good hands and I didn't have to worry about her being well taken care of.”

“Rachel loves dogs and treats each doggy as her own. Her kids also help play with the puppies. I received constant updates, photos and videos. Cici was having so much fun. I was worried that she might not want to come home. Cici got a small scratch on her nose. Nothing to worry about. Probably just the result of dog play. Rachel always had other dogs at her house, which is a good thing because Cici had lots of playmates. But dog play can be kind of rough sometimes. Just dogs being dogs.”


“Sam was great watching our border collie puppy, Kya. Sam was accommodating when our airline changed our flight as well. Kya came home happy and healthy. Sam and her family, including their dog, all seemed easy going which helped with our dog. I’d definitely recommend Sam for boarding your dog.”

“We were so very grateful for Stacy to watch our poodle Marty over Thanksgiving. She was great at communicating and sending pictures of our boy having a good time 🙂 We know he had so much fun, thanks Stacy!”

“Amazing pet sitters. Thanks for taking care of Brennan for us and sending us a video and picture. We will definitely be booking again! He had a great time and seemed well taken care of.”

“Ms Sharon has kept my fur baby several times when I work out of town. She sends updates/pictures throughout Cali’s stay with her and she doesn’t hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns or questions. She was my first Rover experience and will continue to be Cali’s caretaker anytime boarding is needed. If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would.”


“Christine did a wonderful job with our Cavapoo, Lily! She sent pictures to keep us updated at multiple points during our trip and was always quick to respond. Christine gave lots of snuggles and attention to our pup which we truly appreciate. We would love to work with her again if the need arises.”


“We were so pleased with the care Rubal and her family provided to willow. They were so attentive and provided plenty of updates. Willow was obviously very happy in the videos and photos throughout the stay. We would highly recommend Rubal's AMAZING services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring individual. It was a truly wonderful experience for boTH!”

“My sweet little Ginger loves staying with Brooke, Bryan, Birdie, Daisy, and children. I feel stress free leaving my Ginger with them for a weekend. Ginger loves spending time with them and gets excited when we turn down their street and into driveway. They have a lovely home with a big fenced in backyard. Brooke is excellent at communication and provides daily updates. Ginger had a fun weekend exploring the yard, watching cartoons, and playing while I was away. I would highly recommend Brooke and family to anyone looking for a Rover that offers dog boarding!”

“Shannon was so so caring and responsive! She loved our Moe moe like her own while we were on vacation! We did not stress at all knowing she had it all taken care of! ❤️”

“Allyson is an excellent dog sitter! She’s been wonderful with my YorkiePoo, Jamaica, while I work from home. She keeps him active and entertained throughout their time together, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys her company. Jamaica always seems happy and well-exercised after their walks. I really appreciate how engaged and attentive she is with him. Highly recommend Allyson if you’re looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”

“Savanna did an amazing job taking care of our kitten! She was very accommodating to his needs and ours--meeting us first and discussing all the details, feeding him as often as he needed at his age. We got pictures and videos of him while we were on our trip. He was in great hands!”


“Sarah was amazing at coming in & helping me give medications to our two cats when my husband was out of town. Great communication + on time. Would definitely choose Sarah again for any Rover needs in the future!”


“Cali is the best! She is my go to when we are planning a trip. She keeps us informed and send us multiple daily pictures of our kitties. I would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Highly experienced with dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors. I am comfortable enough with all animals that with some instruction I can care for anything. Experience in administering medication, even with cats. Patient with all animal personalities. I am very detail oriented and thorough. Reliable and great with instructions. I love animals and since semi-retiring I thought it would be nice to spend time caring for them when owners are on vacation or just need a little extra help. I practice reward based motivation. Semi-retired with plenty of time to play with and care for your animals. Happy to care for in home or take for walks. I can do multiple drop-ins a day. I am very good with instructions and will abide by any house rules and needs required for your pet. Experience house and pet sitting prior to joining Rover.
“This was our first time having Danielle check in on our cat, Prissy. It was great having her send pictures of Prissy and being in contact with us while we were out of town. Prissy tends to hide when new people come to visit, so I really appreciate Danielle taking the time and care in making sure Prissy was okay. It makes our trip so much better when we know Prissy will be taken care of.”

About: I’ve worked with both cats and dogs in a humane shelter setting for multiple years, and I’m ready to meet and get to know your pet! I work full-time but mostly weekends and evenings. I have most weekdays off of work and am always available for a morning check-in for your pet. I am able to move pets between rooms and crate animals if needed in your home. I do not host pets for boarding at my own home.

“So glad we found Lexi! During our meet and greet, the dog and many of the cats fell in love with her at first sight. Lexi did all the drop-in visits, and everyone was very well taken care of. I would absolutely ask Lexi to take care of our four-leggeds again!”


“We are a repeat client of Crystal's because we adore her! With our two cats, she knows the way to their hearts and their favorite toys! She's also very good with giving one of our cats his medicine that he unfortunately really hates. We highly recommend her, and we hope to work with her in the future again!”


About: I have been caring for and loving cats and kittens of all ages since I was a little girl! I’ve always loved the quirky nature of cats, the love and protection they show for their families and the way they interact with each other. I’ve never gone a day without having at least one kitty in my home, and I can honestly say that my life has been saved by a cat before! She and I have an incredible bond still to this day- 12 years later! I believe that God put me on the earth to care for all animals and to be a loving mom. Well, my two children are grown and moved out on their own now but I do have 4 dogs and 2 kitties to love unconditionally everyday. I would like to help you care for your lovely kitties when you need to be away also!

“Sarah watches or boards our dog all the time, we love her! She sends pics often which I appreciate, and I know she’s in good hands when she’s in her care! Phoenix is a lap dog and I get lots of pics of her wrapped up in a blanket in hers or her husbands laps!”

“Tracy is awesome. This was my first time leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of her and reassured me along the way too. I’ll definitely be using her again”

About: You're not just hiring another pet sitter; you're entrusting your beloved dog to someone whose life has been filled with canine companionship from day one. Growing up with dogs wasn't just about having pets; it was a hands-on education in understanding their nuanced body language, anticipating their needs, and fostering genuine connections built on trust and affection. This lifelong immersion has instilled in me an intuitive understanding that goes beyond standard training, allowing me to provide a level of care that feels less like a service and more like an extension of the loving home your dog already knows. I am currently a stay at home mom so will have plenty of time for your pets , love doing outdoor activities with the dogs also love cuddling and loving on all the animals I will take your dog out on leash every couple hours unless they need more, I have a chiweenie and German shepherd that loves having friends to play with and my children are amazing with animals as well.
“As always, Hank had SO MUCH fun today with Mrs. Emily!! He got to play outside with the other dogs and dig in the dirt, and those are his most favorite things to do!! (He also got a bath after covering himself in dirt:) And mom gets to go to work worry free when Hank is with her.. We’re SOO thankful we found Mrs. Emily!! She’s the best sitter EVER!!!!”


“Brittany, was wonderful with my little Maggie and her dog Waylon was great with Maggie too!! She sent me pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her again!”

About: I have cared for many animals growing up, my mom and I were both adopters of all kinds of strays. But I have been loving and caring for my very own sweet girl for 9 years! We adopted our baby from the humane society at 3 months old and worked through potty training, leash training, and command training. Please allow your pet to be my outlet so I stop asking my husband for another dog 😬 I am a homeschool momma so I am home or outside adventuring most of the day. I have a nice sized yard, however, it is not fenced in so if your fur baby likes to run off from time to time we may not be a good fit. I have 3 small kiddos (and myself) who would love nothing more than to snuggle on your pup! And our Vega girl enjoys running and playing with other doggos so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise! We do have 11 chickens who stay in their coop (we do let them free range from time to time, but they will be kept in their coop while you pup stays with us). However, due to having small children and chicks we will require a meet and greet before your precious pup comes to stay with us.

About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of dogs and cats of all ages since I was a young child. Every pet I’ve ever had the pleasure of loving has been in my life from the time they came home until they passed. My mom taught me at a young age that a pet was a lifelong relationship and responsibility and I took that very seriously! I believe that God put me on this planet to care for animals and be a mom. My children are grown and out of the house now so I have 4 dogs (Midas-9, Atlas-6, Echo-5 and Zuko-3.5) and 2 kitties (Boston-12 and Angel 1.5) and I would really like to help you care for your fur babies when you can’t do it. I promise to follow your instructions so your fur babies will get the best experience possible! I am in phlebotomy and patient care in my career but I plan to be a part of a rescue or sanctuary when I retire. I will continue to volunteer at the shelter as often as possible until then. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets! I am available for house sitting on weekends and some days I would be available to do daycare at my home. I have a fenced in yard and 4 small to medium sized dogs of my own that love to socialize! I have a fully fenced in backyard and 4 social dogs to keep your dog company, as well as a cat that enjoys being involved in the activities inside.
“Our dogs loved their time at Kelli's! She is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. Kelli provided photos and updates during the day and is really communicative. Her fenced-in back yard provides a great opportunity for the dogs to romp around. Our dogs were worn out from playing and having such a good time! I would definitely love to use Kelli again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life! I’ve cared for and loved a variety of breeds from weinerdogs to saint bernards and never met a pup I didn’t love. I work from home full time, M-F and have a very flexible schedule for plenty of potty breaks, walks, cuddles, and snacks. I have a 4 year old aussie corgi mix named Mac and he loves to have friends over. I live in a house with a partially fenced yard. I do have two leads that are long enough to allow access to the full yard. My dog Mac is very friendly and playful, but does well acknowledging body language if your dog is elderly and/or done playing. Your pup will have full access to the house and yard just as if it were their own! Mac has never met a dog he hasn’t adored and would love to help keep your pup entertained with lots of playtime.. sending your sweet pup home, ready for a nap.

“Destinee was very responsive from the start. She shared several pictures of Jack during his meet and greet. He had a great time at her house and came home and took a long nap. I feel like he is in great hands with her and her husband!”

“Kristen and Kenneth were phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog Ace. They were so welcoming, made sure everyone was a good fit, let us see where the dogs would be and helped us and our boy get acclimated to the environment! They sent updates throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures! I never once worried about Ace (and we often do as he is a very anxious dog)! Not only this, but they helped us pull off an engagement and made accommodations so that the proposal could go perfectly without us having to worry about Ace (: we will 10000% be using them again!”

About: Hi, I’m Karla! I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love caring for them. I have years of experience looking after dogs and cats for friends, family, and through pet-sitting platforms. I’ve raised and cared for pets of all ages from playful puppies to senior dogs and I’ve personally had a German Shepherd and a pit mix, along with cats, chickens, and even hamsters growing up. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and have fostered pets, so I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments and needs. Whether it’s taking your dog to the park for some playtime or a relaxing walk for fresh air, I’m happy to provide loving and attentive care. I also have a reliable car for transportation if needed, and I’m happy to set up a meet-and-greet at a local park to make sure we’re a great fit. I am currently a stay at home mom so I’m pretty much home all day! So I have plenty of time to be with your pet I can crate your dog if needed. I always foster pets so I have a system on how the arrangement will go since I do have a cat, I have 2 sore bedrooms and a backyard, so plenty of room!
“Andrea was wonderful. She was super accommodating and sent lots of pictures to us throughout the day. I would be happy to book with her again if we come through the Indianapolis area in the future.”

“We are truly thankful and appreciative for Jessica! She was not only attentive, professional, and reliable, but more importantly, we trusted the care and safety provided by her. If I can confirm your belief or bring comfort to the idea of leaving your loved ones, then book Jessica. She (and her adorable pup, Sunny) are the one for you!”

About: Hi there! My name is Stacy and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had several rescue dogs. I'm the first call for anyone I know who needs a dog sitter or walker. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet yall and lets play fetch! A move in ready kennel is available if needed. I'm located conveniently near the airport, 465, and 70 for easy drop off and pick-up! I work from home full time. I'm a total home body so staying home with dogs is a dream for me. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a 4 years old dog and son ready to play at all times! Dogs are family members so they are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a fully fenced yard and love to take walks daily. I am very happy to drop by for walks , potty breaks, and pets. My son excels at giving pets and love!
About: Pets have always been center stage in my life. Currently I share my home with three cats and a granddog who likes to visit and go for walks with me. My love and appreciation for animals has sparked my desire to be a pet sitter. I began my pet sitting journey by caring for pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. I gained experience providing for pets needing oral medication, accommodating frightened and lonely animals, and behaving in a manner which gained the trust of my new furry friends. I am a retired teacher and have a flexible schedule. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. I am also available for overnight stays for both pet and house sitting. I am able to meet all expectations while caring for your pet at home. I have a large country property to provide stimulating outdoor time for overnight furry guests. I will take all precautions needed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry companions,
“Jackson was very accommodating with drop off and pick up. Also, he is very knowledgeable on the needs of dogs when at daycare such as resting/calm time. As someone that is very particular about the care of my dog, I trust Jackson! Definitely recommend!”

“Jaclyn is the BEST! I was so nervous to leave my puppy with someone but he comes home with the biggest smile and I know he was well taken care of :) I can tell he plays hard over there with her dogs! Nothing but great things to say ❤️”

“Valerie has been checking in on our pup for the last several weeks and taking him for walks and we couldn’t recommend her more! She is very easy to communicate with and is great at keeping us updated about how he is doing! We will definitely continue asking her to take our doggo on walks!”

“Shannon is amazing. Super flexible and easy going, always willing to accommodate me and takes fantastic care of my dogs. I’m so grateful to have her taking care of my dogs”

I'll be consistent with your pet and alter my interaction depending on your and your pet's style. If I'm at your home, I'll treat it with great respect and leave everything as it was when I arrived.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has experience caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and needs. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily routines like feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure every pup gets the attention they deserve. I also regularly care for family members’ dogs while they’re away on vacation, giving me experience keeping pets comfortable in their own homes and sticking to their normal routines. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands! Hooray for flexibility!! 🎉 my part time job (20 hours or less) gives me a lot of flexibility to shower your furry friend with attention! Just tell me what you need!

“My last review was 7 months ago, and I am reviewing again because I am relocating, and I don't know what we would have done without Ana. Ana walks my 65 lb. Weimaraner every week 3-4 times a week, and she has not cancelled ever, not once! Occasionally my schedule changes at the last minute, and she's always willing to adjust and extremely pleasant to work with! She is quick to respond with the app and always sends pics of her visits. We are definitely going to miss her. She has set the bar very high when we move to find someone as great as she's been!”

About: I spend my days teaching a class of 2nd graders and would love to spend my nights and weekends caring for you beloved pups. I have 3 dogs of my own and have had numerous dogs over the years! I have a great deal of experience with small breed dogs and have a sweet spot for the gentle giants. I offer dog sitting in your home, drop in visits and dog walking! All 3 of my dogs take daily meds so I am comfortable giving whatever meds your pet needs to stay comfortable. I live in the Monrovia area and would love to help care for your pup. I work in a school setting from 7-3 each day so I can drop in before school and multiple times in the evening while you’re away- and my weekends are usually completely open to meet the needs of your pups. I have open availability until the first week of August. My goal is to make your pet feel as safe, love, and cared for as possible while you’re away. My dogs are always top of mind while I’m out of town so I try and do everything I can to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Which usually means plentiful updates and photos depending on what each client requests!
About: I have grown up with dogs in my home of all sizes. I have also been taking care of neighbors, and friends pets since I was 12 providing in-house pet sitting, walks, feed, medication and more! I am currently a college student at Ball State and am available around the Muncie/Yorktown area while I am attending school. Each day varies but Monday-Thursday I only have 2 classes so I have plenty of time to watch, play, and love on your pups. Also Friday-Suday I don't have class so my schedule is open most weekends. If watching your dogs from your home I will stop in for awhile and love on your pups multiple times a day and whenever specified!
About: I have always taken care of family pets, and within the last 3 years have opened up to family friends, and their friends who looked for pet care. I do not limit myself to just cats and dogs, I can care for more exotic animals such as ferrets, turtles, reptiles, rabbits, etc. I am able to administer medications as needed. Pet sitting is a big part of my schedule. I have spent up to 3 weeks caring for family pets, both overnights and drop ins. Although I have the families I love to care for, I am excited to meet some friendly faces and give more love to! I care for peoples pets preferably in their own homes. I always like to do a meet-and-greet following up to my stays/visits. I always follow how parents ask for me to care for each pet to keep them in a routine they know and love.
About: I grew up with labs and when I was in high school, my mom adopted cats. I adopted my own cats in January and November of 2023. Through my time on Rover and Wag!, I have experience with all sorts of dogs! My gallery consists of all of the animals I have cared for as well as my own pets:) I just started my master’s program at the University of Indianapolis and am in classes for roughly 12 hours/week between TWR. I am out of class no later than 4 pm. As of January 2026, I will be working MWF from 3-6 pm in Westfield. I know I have a busy schedule and I understand if this doesn’t work for your pet’s needs, but know that I will give your pet/s all of my love and attention and the best care possible when I am with them:) I do my best to go off of their needs and their schedule! If a pup needs a little bit to get comfortable with me, I let them take their time before I approach them or before we do anything. First and foremost, I want everyone to feel comfortable.
About: I grew up with my own pets. I worked for a family member in high school, helping her in her grooming and kennel facility. Before I moved to the Indy area I worked at a dog daycare facility. I worked with dogs individually and in group settings. I did some behavioral training with these dogs and my own! I can evaluate dog emotions and behaviors and work with owners on any concerns that they may have I currently work full time and I’m off Sundays and Wednesdays. I’m available most days after 2 pm and no later than 6:30 pm. Not available Sundays during the day due to church. My saying is that mental stimulation is better than physical. At my home I always leave soothing music on for my dogs and leave them a toy or treat to play with. It helps reduce anxiety and lets them have their calm time.

“Destinee watched our dog for a long weekend and did an amazing job! She sent daily updates and photos, and was so thoughtful in slowly introducing him to new dogs since we recently adopted him and weren’t sure how he’d do off leash. He came home happy, tired, and clearly well cared for!”

She responded quickly and I appreciated her flexibility for pickup. I would recommend her for any future dog sitting needs. Thank you.”

“Susan provided the perfect environment for my senior beagle. She and her husband are retired so they’re able to be with your pet 24 /7 . Bess received lots of ear and belly rubs and love sleeping by their fireplace.There are no small children running around and she has a nice fenced in backyard. my beagle thoroughly enjoyed herself and I don’t think she really wanted to come home.”

“Emily was great with our golden retriever! She sent us a pic of her after playing hard outside in the sprinkler. Its been two days after her stay and she is still worn out! Im happy she was in good hands and I didn't have to worry about her being well taken care of.”

“Rachel loves dogs and treats each doggy as her own. Her kids also help play with the puppies. I received constant updates, photos and videos. Cici was having so much fun. I was worried that she might not want to come home. Cici got a small scratch on her nose. Nothing to worry about. Probably just the result of dog play. Rachel always had other dogs at her house, which is a good thing because Cici had lots of playmates. But dog play can be kind of rough sometimes. Just dogs being dogs.”

“Ms Sharon has kept my fur baby several times when I work out of town. She sends updates/pictures throughout Cali’s stay with her and she doesn’t hesitate to reach out to me with any concerns or questions. She was my first Rover experience and will continue to be Cali’s caretaker anytime boarding is needed. If I could give her more than 5 stars I definitely would.”


“We were so pleased with the care Rubal and her family provided to willow. They were so attentive and provided plenty of updates. Willow was obviously very happy in the videos and photos throughout the stay. We would highly recommend Rubal's AMAZING services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring individual. It was a truly wonderful experience for boTH!”

“My sweet little Ginger loves staying with Brooke, Bryan, Birdie, Daisy, and children. I feel stress free leaving my Ginger with them for a weekend. Ginger loves spending time with them and gets excited when we turn down their street and into driveway. They have a lovely home with a big fenced in backyard. Brooke is excellent at communication and provides daily updates. Ginger had a fun weekend exploring the yard, watching cartoons, and playing while I was away. I would highly recommend Brooke and family to anyone looking for a Rover that offers dog boarding!”

“Diana & Kevin took such good care of our anxious pup, Gus. They sent us updates and were so sweet to him! Highly recommend. We can’t wait to use Diana & Kevin again soon.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Mary and Jack! They were amazing with my dog, Daisy. Every picture and update from Mary showed Daisy completely comfortable and happy. Since coming home she has been zonked out. She loved being there with Mary, Jack and all the other dogs! I look forward to going out of town and letting Daisy go on vacation again! I highly recommend Mary for your pup! ”

“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”

“Nicole and family were great, provided pictures to show how comfortable Gigi was to be there!! Was not sure we would get her back. Will schedule her with Nicole in the future if needed.”
