Highly-rated overnight sitters - Charlton
“Payten was amazing. I will definitely be using her again. It was my baby's first time being with a sitter. He is very reserved and stubborn, but he really warmed up and trusted her. That right there shows me that she is a person to be trusted. She kept me updated regularly, even sending pictures. Thank you Payten!”
“Graham Cracker was very relaxed and comfortable when we came to pick him up. She kept us up to date with photos. It was a great experience. We would definitely use her again!”
“Floki seemed to have had a good time with Jesse. I like that she sent so many pictures and updates. I think that my dog was in a safe environment and cared for while I was away.”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Lillie and Dawson had a great time with Joel and Janelle. We know our babies and happy, safe and very well taken care of. We have already booked again! 🐾❤️”
“Briana and Jeremy were great as always. Penny and Dex felt right at home and had a staycation while we went to a wedding. Thanks you guys for taking such good care of our pups!”
“Donna and Scott were amazing watching by our sweet Emma! Updates and pictures were sent constantly which we loved to see and made us feel at ease! I can tell they loved our girl like their own. Definitely recommend ?”
“Lejune is northing short of amazing and I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby while they are away. Our Tyson is 13 and we wanted him to be in a comforting and nurturing environment while we were away and Lejune and her family provided just that! We received lots of updates and pictures which was very comforting to us. Tyson was definitely treated like part of the family and received some good spoiling while with Lejune and her family and came home a very happy boy!!! Again, thank you to Lejune and her family for taking such good care of Tyson while we were away - he can't wait to come back to see you guys again!!!”
“Megan took such great care of our dog! She kept us updated with photos throughout our stay and we could see how happy our pup was. Her kids were also so incredibly sweet and gentle with her! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be rebooking when we’re in need of a sitter in this area!”
“Rose was wonderful with Baxter! He was one happy puppy playing with Nola and taking walks with Rose. He was giving kisses when he left. We have already booked our second visit with Rose! She is awesome and I strongly recommend her!”
“Renee always so loving to our dog Lily. She offers plenty of opportunities for play and cuddles. I recieve frequent updates and Lily always seemed to be right at home! Love that she has experience with pet sitting and it very aware of each individual dog in her care! :)”
“Wonderful land for our boys to run on and have fun outside. They enjoyed playing with other dogs there and Emily took great care of them. There are so many places for dogs to explore and they have daily walks around the property. Highly recommend this sitter.”
“We love Catherine and her family. More importantly, our dog does too! He’s always excited to see his “other family” and loves to go on new adventures with them. We love the communication and photos, and we can always tell that Harry is well cared for and feels right at home!”
About: I grew up in a dog-loving home—there was never a time we didn’t have a furry friend in the family. Since my very first pet, I’ve enjoyed caring for animals. Now as an adult, I have a dog and a cat of my own. My pup is a high-energy guy that I’ve raised since he was a puppy. We went through all the training together—lots of patience, consistency, and treats!—and now he’s a well-behaved, happy companion who keeps me on my toes. My cat is curious and full of personality, always finding new spots to nap and new ways to charm everyone. Fun Facts Just About Me: I moved to Hagerstown with my husband, 2 dogs and cat a few years ago. My husband and I recently got married in May 2026. I play adult softball and kickball. I love to be outside whether it's walking the dogs, attempting to garden or being on the water. Since I work from home, I’m lucky to spend lots of quality time with my pets throughout the day, and I’d love to extend that care and attention to your furry family members too. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or just offering companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. When caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, secure environment with a fully fenced yard that offers plenty of room for pets to run and play safely. We also have sidewalks throughout the neighborhood perfect for walks, a puppy play pen for supervised fun, and plenty of space to crate pets comfortably if needed. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I carefully manage food, toys, and any medications. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors and gates are secure, hazardous items are out of reach, and I maintain open communication with owners about any special needs or behaviors. Building trust with pets and their families is important to me, so I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs.
“Charity was great with our dog. She took on keeping my dog safe, calm, and loved over the puppy much hated holiday of the 4th of July. I will use her again.”
“I have an older min pin that hasn’t ever been away from me with someone she hasn’t known before. When I brought her over for a visit before the booking, I knew immediately my baby was going to be taken care of and would be safe. I got a bunch of pictures and videos of my baby girl and I could tell she was being taken care of as if it were me. I would recommend Min & Matt to family and friends, which says a ton about the way they took care of her.”
“Perfect stay for our pet. First time using Rover and we sure lucked out with David! Very nice and communicative about our doggy’s day to day. My family felt like he went above and beyond caring for our Ollie, will be sure to bring him back when on vacation”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every animal I meet!

I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine, whether that means playtime and enrichment for younger pets or providing a calm, nurturing environment for older companions! I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliability, communication, and compassionate care. I love getting to know each pet’s individual needs, favorite activities, and little quirks. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering extra TLC to anxious pets, or making sure your furry friend gets plenty of cuddles and playtime, I always go the extra mile!! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine! I currently have plenty of availability, allowing me to give each pet the time, love, and attention they deserve! In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel comfortable and secure.

“I feel that words are far too limited to express the help and support we received from Ellen during such a difficult time! I had to travel to another continent and left my cat at the Kittie Room in Ellen’s home, and out of the blue, he needed emergency eye surgery. Ellen was constantly present through it all—strong, incredibly supportive, and providing post-surgery care filled with love, dedication, and countless medications like I had never seen before. I thank God every single day that when all this happened, my cat was with Ellen. In such a hard moment, Ellen, you were a true beacon for my family, and I will never forget it. You are a living miracle, moving seamlessly between the world of animals and the world of humans, with pure love and success in both. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!”

“Corrinna was watching our four babies for the first time and she went above and beyond what we expected to keep them safe and happy! We have four cats and three of them prefer to be outside as they came to us as strays. Since it was so cold the week we were away she tried her best to keep them in, even going out another door to close the door that has a cat door in it.. lol I thought that was a great idea. She worried and took care of them like her own including lots of pics to ease our mind. We will definitely be asking Corrinna again to watch the kids!”
About: My specialty is puppies - after raising a few and spending a year with a daycare client, I enjoy the energy of young pups and helping them gain structure and socialization. Over the past few years I’ve had the pleasure to take care of pups of all breeds — from chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. I understand that every dog has individual needs that may not be provided at a typical kennel and seek to provide comfort, fun, and safety for your pet while you are away. Our two resident dogs are very friendly but of vastly different energy levels, so we have a playmate for the older or calmer dogs as well as those who are constantly on the go (and need a friend who can match their energy level). Dogs are up to date on all shots and we ask that yours has an updated rabies and bordetella vaccine — exceptions, of course, if they are too young to receive them, as we’ve had puppies as young as 10 weeks stay with us. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time. At this time, I am only accepting dogs under 75 pounds. Dogs must be OK with people for everyone’s safety. I work from home as a graduate assistant part time and online, which means that my schedule is always open, and the dogs will always have someone around. I have a large yard with multiple leash runners for your pets enjoyment and safety. I offer flexible care methods depending on your pet’s individual needs. Active, hands-on dogs will have their chance to explore, and quiet or older dogs will have all the pampering and relaxation they’d like.
“Amber did a wonderful job with our pets. The cats especially seemed to warm up to her within a day when they normally take several days to warm up to someone. Her communication was great throughout and she left our house spotless. We would definitely have Amber stay with our pets again.”
“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
About: Hello! My name is Autumn. I currently own a beautiful kitty named LuLu. I also have experience working in an animal shelter, where I worked with hundreds of rescue cats. I love kitties of all shapes, sizes, and personalities!
About: I have taken several jobs as a pet sitter ranging from lizards to dogs. I have several cats and dogs of my own. I have previously done overnight stays with puppies and senior dogs. I have experience with puppies, shelter babies, cats, etc. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter in my spare time where I have gotten used to all different dog and cat breeds. I have experience giving medication’s to cats and dogs. Over the years I have learned cats and dogs, body language very well and understand animals a lot. I am currently in nursing school at a local college. I have plenty of spare time throughout the day to stop by and check on your babies! I enjoy watching animals in their own humble abode. I find they have an easier time adjusting to a new person rather than a new person and a new home. I spend as much time as possible at the house with the animals so they are not lonely and I follow instructions to a tee.
About: I’ve been around cats for most of my life and currently care for my own at home, Winnie. I’m comfortable handling cats of different levels and always make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat every kitty as if they were my own!
“Lauren took such good care of our two cats Misty & Cleo, while we were gone for a month! They were happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. She was always on time for our twice daily visits, and we appreciate the daily updates. We have already booked her for our upcoming summer trips!”
About: I have had animals throughout my whole life. The animal I’ve had with me the longest is my 16 year old chihuahua. I’ve had him since I was 5 years old. I grew up with him and I take really good care of him. He’s very healthy and also very spoiled. As of right now I’m only doing the dog walking service and the dog and cat drop ins. I am available anytime as of right now. I will give them lots of attention and love. If they have certain times they eat at I will feed them at those times. Whenever they need to go potty I will let them out if there is a fenced yard or I will walk them if there is not a fenced yard.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Charlton
“I would highly recommend Lejune for your pet sitting needs. She communicates well, sends lots of pictures and videos, and from the first interaction, I could tell that Bella would be in good hands. I will be continuing services with her indefinitely.”
About: I am currently doing Rover part-time, I’m also working 2 other part-time jobs, however, for one of them I get to choose my own schedule. If given enough notice (usually a week) I can take off the days you’d need from one of my jobs, and then just schedule my other around it! I’ve had and taken care of dogs/cats since a young age. I love all animals and caring for them! Ive taken 2 pre-vet classes and would love to have a job working with animals full-time, no matter the job! As of now, I am caring for my 2 cats and leopard gecko! I only work Thurs-Sun, never more than 8 hours + my other job I can pick my own schedule! I am free all other weekdays to be able to take care of your pets! I am no longer able to do house sitting because I now have a baby to take care of, but if they are good with kids and cats, your pet is more than welcome to come stay with us! I prefer having the option to crate in case I need to go out for a bit, but I have taken care of pets who didn’t need one! Your pets are treated as my own when they are here, we take long walks around my apartment complex, I have treats for both cats and dogs, and many toys! Let me know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions so they can be as healthy and happy as possible
About: I've had pets (cats, dogs and bunnies) for as long as I can remember. (40 + years) I have taken care of peoples animals many times throughout my life. I'm known for being an animal lover and have been told that I have a way with them. Even when other people's pets have been afraid of other people their pets have felt comfortable with me. I work from home, and am there most of the time. Our little toy poodle that we've had for 12 years just passed away and we slept with her, held her as we were doing school/ work and took her everywhere with us. So I'm very happy and comfortable having fur babies by my side throughout the day and being with me whatever I am doing. We have a five unfenced acre farm with a horse and a sheep. We don't live on a main road. I'm fine with your pets being out of a crate.
“Rosa did an excellent job taking care of my boy, she took him outside on plenty of walks, fed him the exact right amount, and sent me pictures throughout the day! I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs care for their pet.”
“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Heidi made Louie part of her family while he was there. She sent me pictures and videos all day of him being loved and spoiled. Fantastic communication and care.”

I have established and maintained many personal aquarium & terrariums of my own, as well as for family & friends. I have my weekends open for time to spend and company to give for a sweet pet in need of some special attention while their owners take care of some things. I work full time at a veterinary referral hospital and am available Saturday-Sunday (all day), and currently Monday & Tuesday Evenings. I live with a senior dog, and 2 cats. They are all spayed/neutered, nails trimmed, and fully vaccinated. My cats keep to themselves, and my senior Cavvie, Frannie LOVES the company of other dogs!!❤️ I have a fenced in back yard, and I am only a minute walk away from a big community park.

“Susan and Robert are very kind, responsible and reliable. When we first met them, they made us feel comfortable right away. Benny (their dog) is the sweetest puppy and welcomed Pepper into his space immediately. This was the first time we left Pepper under the care of someone other than the veterinarian. After this first experience, we plan to call Susan and Robert again when we may need someone to sit Pepper. Thank Susan, Robert and Rover!”
About: Need to board your fur baby before travel or place them in doggy/kitty daycare? I can help! As a pet owner myself, I know how frustrating it can be to find a good, safe place to leave my babies. That's why you can be rest assured that your doggy or kitty will be happy, comfortable, and surrounded by people who will love them and treat them and just like their own.

“Daniel is very reliable, professional, and all around a pleasant individual! Communication is always easy with him and he’s great with handling my giant English Mastiff. We’re so grateful for Daniel and highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!”
“Buddy, absolutely loves walking with Corrinna. He’s always so excited to see her and go on walks. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and enjoying his walk. I don’t know what I would do without her.”
About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.

“Amazing person! Gave multiple picture updates and told us everything she did with our dogs! Came over to meet the dogs to see if she would be a match, listened to everything we needed to say about them! We have a huge yard that they can play in but she still took them on walks in our neighborhood!!! Taught the dogs some new tricks and gave them so much love when we were at work!! Highly recommend Shannon! You will not be disappointed and your dogs will love her just like ours do!!”
“As a federal employee, I recently started going back into the office every day, a big transition from my previous one day/week schedule. One of the stressors was finding quick help so my dog wouldn't be stuck inside for the extremely long days - Kayda to the rescue! Kayda has been reliable, flexible, and very kind; she stops by to take my little old guy for an afternoon walk. I appreciate her help so much and would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hello! My name is Autumn. Over my life, I have owned and cared for 13 dogs, along with a collection of reptiles, rodents, etc. I currently have a dog and a cat. They are the loves of my life. I also completed my internship at an animal shelter, giving me experience with hundreds of animals. I love animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience working with a wide array of animals. I would love the opportunity to work with your pets! My life revolves around pet care. I have animals with very specific care needs, so I am used to matching my lifestyle with what my pets need. My dog is currently walked 4-5 times a day, with 2 or 3 play sessions interspersed throughout the day. We take him to the park every Saturday and his nails are trimmed every other Sunday. My cat gets 2 or 3 15 minute play sessions during the day, and her litter box is scooped nightly. She is given dry food in the morning and wet food in the evening. The care provided for my clients will revolve around what the client wants and the specific needs of the individuals. Every animal is different, and I strive to provide the care that is requested.
“I messaged Jaden and she was able to come that same evening for a meet and great, and start walks as early as the next day. I highly recommend her! Jaden has been walking my puppy Toby for 3 weeks now. On time, great communication, super flexible and has great availability. Will continue to work with Jaden moving forward.”
About: I have had animals throughout my whole life. The animal I’ve had with me the longest is my 16 year old chihuahua. I’ve had him since I was 5 years old. I grew up with him and I take really good care of him. He’s very healthy and also very spoiled. As of right now I’m only doing the dog walking service and the dog and cat drop ins. I am available anytime as of right now. I will give them lots of attention and love. If they have certain times they eat at I will feed them at those times. Whenever they need to go potty I will let them out if there is a fenced yard or I will walk them if there is not a fenced yard.
About: I have taken several jobs as a pet sitter ranging from lizards to dogs. I have several cats and dogs of my own. I have previously done overnight stays with puppies and senior dogs. I have experience with puppies, shelter babies, cats, etc. I also volunteer at the local animal shelter in my spare time where I have gotten used to all different dog and cat breeds. I have experience giving medication’s to cats and dogs. Over the years I have learned cats and dogs, body language very well and understand animals a lot. I am currently in nursing school at a local college. I have plenty of spare time throughout the day to stop by and check on your babies! I enjoy watching animals in their own humble abode. I find they have an easier time adjusting to a new person rather than a new person and a new home. I spend as much time as possible at the house with the animals so they are not lonely and I follow instructions to a tee.
About: To begin, I will do whatever necessary to feel your pet at home understanding they are just like family sharing our daily life with them. I take pride in caring for your dogs as you do daily. I know your pet should have a schedule, just as we do. Therefore, provide me the daily schedule, in writing when you drop your pet off. so to help us keep your dog on a similar schedule. Please indicate what you allow and do not, so I can follow these instructions. Paying attention to detail and making them at home with love and patience is essential, while you on travel, at work, or just need to complete chores. Various clients are coming back being completely satisfied. You could be next.
About: I have had the honor of having dogs my entire life. Recently, helped my daughter potty training her rescue puppies. They have become the protectors of my grandchildren. As an Empty Nester, I enjoy the simple things in life and would love to offer my services for walks during the early mornings and evenings. Additionally, if you need overnight care, I can provide that service in your home upon request. Currently, I do not have pets in my home, as I do not have a fenced yard that would allow them to safely play and enjoy outdoor activities.

“Graham Cracker was very relaxed and comfortable when we came to pick him up. She kept us up to date with photos. It was a great experience. We would definitely use her again!”
“Floki seemed to have had a good time with Jesse. I like that she sent so many pictures and updates. I think that my dog was in a safe environment and cared for while I was away.”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”

About: I grew up in a dog-loving home—there was never a time we didn’t have a furry friend in the family. Since my very first pet, I’ve enjoyed caring for animals. Now as an adult, I have a dog and a cat of my own. My pup is a high-energy guy that I’ve raised since he was a puppy. We went through all the training together—lots of patience, consistency, and treats!—and now he’s a well-behaved, happy companion who keeps me on my toes. My cat is curious and full of personality, always finding new spots to nap and new ways to charm everyone. Fun Facts Just About Me: I moved to Hagerstown with my husband, 2 dogs and cat a few years ago. My husband and I recently got married in May 2026. I play adult softball and kickball. I love to be outside whether it's walking the dogs, attempting to garden or being on the water. Since I work from home, I’m lucky to spend lots of quality time with my pets throughout the day, and I’d love to extend that care and attention to your furry family members too. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or just offering companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. When caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, secure environment with a fully fenced yard that offers plenty of room for pets to run and play safely. We also have sidewalks throughout the neighborhood perfect for walks, a puppy play pen for supervised fun, and plenty of space to crate pets comfortably if needed. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I carefully manage food, toys, and any medications. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors and gates are secure, hazardous items are out of reach, and I maintain open communication with owners about any special needs or behaviors. Building trust with pets and their families is important to me, so I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs.
“I feel that words are far too limited to express the help and support we received from Ellen during such a difficult time! I had to travel to another continent and left my cat at the Kittie Room in Ellen’s home, and out of the blue, he needed emergency eye surgery. Ellen was constantly present through it all—strong, incredibly supportive, and providing post-surgery care filled with love, dedication, and countless medications like I had never seen before. I thank God every single day that when all this happened, my cat was with Ellen. In such a hard moment, Ellen, you were a true beacon for my family, and I will never forget it. You are a living miracle, moving seamlessly between the world of animals and the world of humans, with pure love and success in both. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!”
“This is our second time leaving our pup with Ashley and her crew. We felt good leaving her that she would get love and care, we received multiple photo updates per days, and came home to a happy and healthy dog! Would definitely recommend Ashley.”
“Susan and Robert are an amazing couple. They welcomed Sophia into their large animal family and treated her as Royalty! Daily, they sent pictures and comments regarding Sophia. Their house is pet friendly with a large area for dogs to roam around. This was our first time using "pet sitters" and we are delighted with the results. We highly recommend both Susan and Robert to watch your animals.”
“Terri had great communication and we were able to do a meet and greet before the stay. She sent us great pictures and updates and would greatly recommend her to watch your pets!”
“Sadie loves staying with Heidi and her family when we are away. I know she is taken care of and can enjoy our trip! She also loves playing with Heidi's dogs and running in the yard! I appreciate the daily photos and videos Heidi shares of Sadie so much 💖”
“We had such a great experience with this dog boarding home! We felt completely at ease the entire time he was there. We loved getting regular updates with pictures, videos, and texts throughout the week — it made such a difference seeing how happy and well cared for he was. By the end, I was almost worried he wouldn’t want to come home because he was having so much fun! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a loving, attentive place for your pup. 🐾”
“Suki was great with my two older dogs. Suki was flexible and attentive to their needs. She communicated with me regularly, sending photos and updates every day. She was very patient when one of my dogs had separation anxiety. I was really thankful, and knew the dogs were in good hands!”
