“My dog’s stay at Rodney & Marissa’s was good. My dog had never spent overnight away from home nor been with other dogs. This was a new experience for her. Rodney is very compassionate about animals. I appreciate he and his wife caring for Chloe while I was away. It certainly eased my worries. I more so appreciated the pictures and updates. Each text put a smile on my face knowing that Chloe was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Rodney & Marissa to others. Thank you.”
“I felt very confident that my dog Asher was well taken care of at Jena's house. She sent pictures daily which showed him having just as much fun as we had on our vacation away! I look forward to using her in the future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for more loving people to keep my fur baby while we were away! They treated Tater as though he was part of the family, and sent frequent photos and updates. I never had to worry about Tater’s happiness or wellbeing. Thank you all so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Thank you so much for taking such phenomenal care of Snoopy! You completely put our minds at ease from the start. The daily photo updates were great and put our minds at ease. It was clear that he was in good hands. Snoopy came home happy and relaxed and we will definitely be booking again!”
“We are so very pleased with the care Lora provides for our boys. She is timely with communication, and always provides us a detailed updates on Tucker and Felix. We are so grateful that we found her to care for them!”
“Cody had a great time! I received multiple pictures a day of him playing outside, getting belly rubs and watching squirrels. Whenever we take another family vacation, James and Mary will be the first contact we make. We know Cody is in good hands.”
“Mila took such wonderful, heartfelt care of my dog. She kept me updated with photos and great communication, which gave me so much peace of mind. I am incredibly grateful for how attentively she looked after my dog, and I truly feel lucky to have found such an amazing sitter.”
“Lonnie watched our border collie Gruffy while we went on a week vacation. Gruffy had a wonderful time with Lonnie and I am pretty sure he was on vacation too! Lonnie really did make Gruffy part of his pack that week and took the time to send us pictures. The pictures were great! I know Gruffy had a fabulous experience and we highly recommend Lonnie to anyone who has a fur baby.”
“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly. On top of that, they are super-flexible with drop off and pick up times and took Indy in on very short notice. Will definitely be back”
“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”
“Link enjoyed his stay. The videos of him having zoomies don’t lie. Picked him up and he was tuckered. Thank you Curtis, Lindsey and family for treating Link as one of your own. Will definitely book you guys for future times when Link can’t travel with us.”
“Kimberly was absolutely wonderful! My dog, Cooper, has anxiety when it comes to being away from me, which can make leaving him difficult. Kimberly made the entire experience so much easier by sending photos of him relaxed and comfortable, along with thoughtful updates on his care. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We were so pleased with Kimberly that we’re already hoping she’ll be available again in July. Thank you for taking such great care of Cooper!”
“I was very pleased with my dogs stay with Felice. The environment was very warm and inviting. My dogs seemed to have a wonderful time. We plan to return soon.”
“Chris did an excellent job with my little Moon! She was so accommodating and responsive to all his needs and whims! Chris will be the first person I look for if I ever need a sitter for my dog again😊”
“Lingli was so sweet and attentive the entire stay and was great about sending videos and pictures. My cat was taken care of so well and she's a really great communicator.”
“Ebony did a great job with our Rusty. She sent pictures and videos every day. When he had an upset belly and needed a diet modification, she had no problem making adjustments! Thanks, Ebony!”
“I was so hesitant about booking but I had a good feeling about Carla and her reviews were exceptional! Carla is Wonderful! She took pictures and kept me updated with the day’s activities and also sent the cutest pictures during his entire stay!! It was very comforting. She is now Music’s “Auntie Carla” and we will definitely book again if she would have him. Thank you Carla❤️”
“Brittanie and Ryan were absolutely amazing! It’s hard to find people you can trust with your fur baby, but these two are serious dog people. They took Millie in as one of their own and provided her with love and me with multiple updates to put my mind at ease. I will definitely be using them in the future!”
“We needed help with our dog as we moved into a new home so he wouldn’t be under foot. We were so lucky to find Heather D! Her property was right down the road from our new place! She is warm and friendly and her property is huge with all of the makings for a great time for dogs! Spacious and large grassed and fenced areas for playtime! Heather D graciously shared photos of Tucker having the time of his life. Tucker is a friendly dog and gets along with all animals he encounters so we were thrilled he’d have playmates with our visiting dogs. Fantastic photo moments of him running and playing with other dogs and some of the quieter moments like sitting on the couch watching TV with Heather D’s family. Her property was safe and clean and truly ideal for what she provides for boarding. I’d highly recommend Heather D and Tucker looks forward to spending time there again! 5 stars :)”

About: Hi there! 👋 After taking a two-year break to settle into a new area about an hour away, I’m excited to be reactivating my Rover profile! During that time, my family and I went through some changes — we said goodbye to our two beloved dogs and recently welcomed a playful new puppy who’s now 6 months old. I’m looking forward to socializing him while providing loving, reliable care for other families’ pets - whether you need help with walks, drop-in visits, overnight care, or anything in between. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pups. Let’s chat and see how I can help make your days a little easier and your pets a lot happier! I am a stay at home mom and dog mom with a lot of mouths to feed! I am on Rover for not only an income but because I am readily available most days! We would love the opportunity to snuggle your fur babies :) I care for your animals as if they are my own. Love and plenty of play time if that’s what they are into. If they want to be a potato we have plenty of couches!
About: I’ve owned cats for most of my life and have also cared for cats as a pet sitter. I know every cat has their own personality, so I take a patient, gentle approach and follow their routine closely. Whether your kitty is playful, shy, affectionate, independent, or older and needs extra care, I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I also have experience with senior cats and some experience administering medication. I pay attention to details like appetite, water, litter box habits, energy, and behavior, and I’ll send regular updates so you know your cat is cared for and doing well.
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
“Lora did a wonderful job sitting for our cat. We were gone for a week and Lora was very flexible, staying over for a couple of nights with day visits as well. She sent daily updates and photos, which we very much appreciated:) Lora spent time with our cat brushing her, making sure she had fresh water, and cleaning her kitty box. I highly recommend her!!!”
About: I have always loved dogs and have helped friends and family with dog-sitting whenever needed. I have been a pet parent for over 5 years and am very empathetic to their needs and wants. I currently work 6am-2:30pm Monday-Friday. But I can do walks anytime outside of those hours. As long as you're ok that I wouldn't be there 100% of the time, I'm open to sitting on weekdays as well as weekends. I currently don't have any pets of me own at the moment, but I love to play and cuddle and make sure their needs are covered as well. Please let me know about any specific safety comcerns, so I can make sure I take the best care possible of your furry friend(s).
About: I have been providing cat sitting services for my 2 neighbors since I was 12 years old and have extensive experience managing households with multiple cat. I am comfortable working with all temperaments, including both social and timid cats. My services include feedings, playtime, and all necessary cleanup.
“Aye was great to work with and a confident sitter. Our cat was well cared for and just how we left her. Aye provides the perfect picture updates & had excellent communication with me.”
“Jordan is a terrific kitty sitter! She kept my Tommy fed, cleaned, medicated with three different meds, and kept him happy with companionship till I got back from vacation. Highly recommended.”
About: I have been a cat owner for 5 years and have loved spending every second with my furry feline. I have been cat sitting since I was 10 years old helping out family members and friends. I have experience administering certain medication such as eye drops to cats.
“Ryan is such a great person. He was on time in all of his visits. He followed all instructions as I provided. I could not be happier with his service. Highly recommend”
About: I’ve worked animal caretaking for cats only at a non profit no kill shelter for over 3 years now. I have some experience incase of medical emergencies I’ve never had to give a cat cpr or anything before but I am certified in basic life support and have administered daily medicine to cats many times before
“Noah is awesome. I was nervous to leave my kittens for the first time but Noah made sure I was comfortable. While I was away he sent lots of updates and pictures. I would definitely use him again.”
“Jess was amazing! We are so grateful for the great care she gave our cats while we were away for a while. We will definitely rebook the next time we have to go out of town! Thank you Jess!”
“Casie has been a perfect cat sitter for us from start to finish. I was impressed with her fast response time and her experience with cats. Our cat, who doesn’t warm up to others easily, immediately warmed up to Casie the moment they met. Because of Casie, our cat thrived when we were away. Casie went above and beyond to ensure that all our needs were met properly, and that we can enjoy our trip with little worries. Her updates were detailed and reassuring. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat who had clearly been well cared for. Our cat would highly recommend her if she could, and so do we!”

About: With over six years of hands-on experience in dog sitting and walking, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring gentle attention and patience. My services include daily walks, feeding, administering basic medications, playtime, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I prioritize consistency, clear communication, and building trust not only with pets but also with their owners. Whether it’s a quick walk, extended sitting, or companionship throughout the day, I treat every dog like family—making sure they’re happy, active, and well cared for at all times. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and well-being always come first. 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine, and I structure my schedule to make sure each dog gets consistent, attentive care. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, feeding times, and check-ins. I make sure each dog gets the right balance of exercise, play, and rest depending on their energy level and needs. I also build in time for updates to pet owners, so they always know how their dog is doing. Throughout the week, I stay organized by scheduling regular walks and sitting visits in advance, while still allowing flexibility for last-minute requests when possible. I’m mindful of keeping a reliable routine for the dogs, because consistency helps them feel comfortable and secure. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I prioritize and intentionally plan my time around to ensure every pet receives dependable, loving attention. I provide personalized, attentive care whether pets are in my home or my client’s home. In my home, I maintain a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and playtime. In my client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal schedule to keep them comfortable and stress-free, while also respecting the space. No matter the setting, I focus on consistency, safety, and making sure every pet feels cared for and at ease.
“Where do I begin? Superior experience from start to finish! Communication about Trixie’s stay included pics and info. I felt at ease and confident that my pup was in good hands being well taken care of. I highly recommend Terry if you need a safe, welcoming place for your pet. 5+ stars!!”
“I can’t say enough good things about the care my Duchess received from Lingli!! From the moment we arrived, I felt completely at ease. She was so kind and welcoming, and I truly appreciated the daily photo updates—it made being away from Duchess so much easier. Lingli's patience and flexibility, especially with my changing schedule due to meetings, meant the world to me. It’s rare to find someone who is both professional and genuinely loving toward pets, but she’s exactly that. Highly recommend!”
“Victoria is amazing!! My regular daycare for Lilly was all booked up for spring break and I was stressed about finding an alternative, but it turns out I am so happy 😀 they were fully booked because we met Victoria and Duchess and we are just so impressed with her care. Multiple walks per day, lots of fetch and cuddles, and she even gifted us some super cute dog cookies in the shape of a corgi at the end of the week!! Victoria is super reliable and provides super timely communication and updates. I went right ahead and rebooked for next month when I’ll be out of town. She and Duchess get along soooo well and do everything together and are best friends. When I drop her off before work, Lilly’s butt and tail don’t lie!! She gets so excited when she sees Victoria and knows she’s in for a day of love and attention and belly rubs :) hands down Victoria is one of the best sitters EVER and you’ll know your pup will have a happy time with her and Duchess!! We will be repeat customers!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, and I’m comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. People have called me a “pet whisperer” because I have a calm, patient way of connecting with animals and earning their trust. I’m also physically strong and confident handling large, powerful, and energetic dogs, including dogs who need firm leash control, longer walks, structure, and plenty of activity. Safety, patience, and clear communication are always my priorities. I’m available 7 days a week and have a flexible schedule throughout the day. I can help with morning, afternoon, evening, and late-night care depending on your pet’s needs. Whether you need regular visits, last-minute help, walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. I follow each client’s instructions closely and do my best to keep every pet’s routine consistent. I know every animal has their own personality and comfort level, so I take a patient, respectful approach to care. If your pet wants playtime, attention, or companionship, I’m happy to give that. If they are shy, anxious, independent, or simply prefer space, I’m just as comfortable keeping them company from a calm and safe distance. My goal is always to help your pet feel secure, respected, and well cared for.
“Jen and John are so reliable! We needed a dog walk with only one week notice. They responded within a day. The dogs love them! They walk and play every time.”

I am generally available to work during evenings and on weekends. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my availability aligns with your current needs. Caring for my own two dogs led me to discover a passion for working with animals, and I am now seeking opportunities to gain professional experience as I pursue a career in this field.

This allows us to discuss your specific care instructions and ensures you are confident in my services as a caretaker.
“Above and beyond. While my girl Gemma was ready for her walk, my puppy Nico was very apprehensive it came time. Mike was super patient and understanding, taking extra time to win Nico over. This guy is who you want walking your anxious and nervous puppies! Definitely recommend, booking future walks now :)”
About: Hello! I am Camryn F., I am currently a veterinary assistant at a Veterinary Hospital in Frederick and am in veterinary technician school. I have always loved being around any animal/caring for them! I can commute and I am easy to get ahold of! I am so excited to be helping those in need of a responsible and reliable caretaker. I do have pets in my home, but they are loving and open to meeting new animals as long as the feeling is mutual between the animals as far as drop offs. Although I may only have 5 years of professional experience I have years of personal experience as I have owned various animals throughout my life time! I look forward to getting to know you and your animal and helping you in any way possible! Thank you I do work full time, and a couple days a week I do have long hours. I have every other weekend off as well as Thursdays. Saturday I have a half day and every Sunday is guaranteed off. I also have major Holidays off. I have many pets of my own at home and often find myself feeding them and caring for them before myself most days! Some may call that crazy, but it’s just the way I roll! I love all animals big and small :)
“Casie, is a joy to work with. She is always on time. She is so caring and loving with my puppy. I can tell she really cares. Will definitely continue to use her.”
“Elizabeth is the BEST! Not only does she look out for our Pups, she looks out for us as well. I asked her if she wouldn’t mind taking the trash to the end of the driveway for me because I forgot to. She is a rockstar and did it for me. So helpful!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years and have 2 dogs of my own. I’ve rescued stray dogs off the street before and put them in a safe environment. I was once very active in helping animal shelter. A close friend of mine is a Veterinarian and had asked me to dog sit for her when she traveled, it was a pleasure to handle 5 dogs at a time at her house. I enjoy taking walks in nature with dogs. I can also take care of chickens, horse, rabbits, hamsters, and fish when you are away. I have plenty of time to play with your dog and take them on walks. My schedule is open daily and weekly routine as well once established. I love to give dog treats and play ball with them. Taking them on long walks. I can also give them a lot of petting for attention. I will take pictures for updates on their activity.
About: Simply put, I truly LOVE animals. I have always enjoyed spending time with, and playing with pets of all kinds. I will put your pets' needs above my own. I'm currently working full time, but I am usually home when not at work. I live 5 minutes away from my job, so I will always be available for your fur babies even while working if I need to be. I care for pets the same way I would care for a baby. Their needs are always more important than mine, and I will always make time for them. They also get plenty of attention and play time! Please note: I will have to crate them while at work. This is the ONLY time they will be crated. I will also be home around 1:30 for lunch to take your pet out for a potty break.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, including my two cats and my 80 lb English yellow lab. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, needs, and routines. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I like to think I have a special connection with animals and an instinct for understanding what makes them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or simply calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel cared for and loved while you’re away. I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits for cats and dogs, and I treat every pet like family! Lastly, I am also comfortable giving pets medications as my dog Gigi has allergies and takes some medication and supplements. Also I have had to give medicines for multiple cats over the years including inhaler treatments. Currently my elderly cat Mrs. Norris is 17 and living with cancer. She is taking a few medicines to keep her comfortable before it’s time. We have lots of snuggles on her heated blanket, look out the window and bask in the sun. I understand the extra care and love your older animal needs. I look forward to getting know your fur babies!! You could say: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am currently home while my children are out of school. I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and have the time and flexibility to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, companionship, and general care throughout the day. Caring for pets complements my lifestyle and is something I find both rewarding and fulfilling. I care for pets by following their regular routine, including feeding, providing fresh water, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions provided, keep the home tidy, and provide updates so owners know their pets are doing well. I am dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals.
About: My name is Lora, I have over 22 years in pet sitting/pet care business. I treat each pet with tender loving care, as if they were part of my own family. I grew up with pets and have experience with all ages. I started pet sitting after our pets passed away. Caring for other people’s pets fills my love tank. There is nothing like the feeling of forming a bond with a pet. We have a huge fenced in yard where your pets can run, play, or just take in the scenery. If your pet prefers walks, we also have a super long driveway where they can get in some exercise. Your pet will never be left alone. I are home full time, so frequent play time, potty breaks, and belly rubs are always on our schedule. I provide all my clients with pictures and messages letting them know that their pets are in wonderful hands. One thing we can guarantee is that your pet will be taken care of extremely well so you can have a worry free time away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and can pretty much make anything work for a client. My house is clean, pet friendly, and has plenty of room run inside and out. I care for your pet as if it was my own. After being around your pet and speaking with the owners you learn what the pet loves. So I try to include those special items in the pets day along with sticking to their regular feed and potty breaks.
About: I have experience training dogs of all sizes and ages. My family had dogs throughout the entirety of my childhood, giving me a deep appreciation for pets of all kinds growing up. I gained further training and experience through my employment at Petco as an operations specialist. Pet care has been a part of my daily routine for the entirety of my life. Whether it was making a special dinner for a picky-eater dog that needed medication, taking a rambunctious puppy out into the yard to relieve their energy, or taking multiple dogs out for a walk to make sure they get their exercise, pet care isn't just an addition to my routine, it is an integral structure to it. I have experience taking pets outside both in a yard and out on a leash for a walk. I have experience giving medication to animals of all kinds, as well as transferring animals into and out of crates/carriers.
“I can’t recommend Kristen enough! From the very first meeting, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She is always punctual, reliable, and great at communicating—sending updates and photos that give me total peace of mind while I’m away. I’ve noticed such a positive difference in my dog’s mood and behavior since we started working with her, he comes back happy, relaxed, and well-exercised every time. It’s such a relief knowing my dogs are in safe, caring, and capable hands. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and truly passionate about what they do, this is the person to choose. Five stars all the way!”
“Alicia did a phenomenal job! She was very communicative, punctual, professional, and took some great photos of our dog on his walk. We will definitely be requesting her services in the future. We were happy that Jett did all his tricks and commands for her 😀”

“My dog’s stay at Rodney & Marissa’s was good. My dog had never spent overnight away from home nor been with other dogs. This was a new experience for her. Rodney is very compassionate about animals. I appreciate he and his wife caring for Chloe while I was away. It certainly eased my worries. I more so appreciated the pictures and updates. Each text put a smile on my face knowing that Chloe was in good hands. I would definitely recommend Rodney & Marissa to others. Thank you.”
“I felt very confident that my dog Asher was well taken care of at Jena's house. She sent pictures daily which showed him having just as much fun as we had on our vacation away! I look forward to using her in the future.”
“I couldn’t have asked for more loving people to keep my fur baby while we were away! They treated Tater as though he was part of the family, and sent frequent photos and updates. I never had to worry about Tater’s happiness or wellbeing. Thank you all so much for taking such wonderful care of my boy! ❤️❤️❤️”
“We are so very pleased with the care Lora provides for our boys. She is timely with communication, and always provides us a detailed updates on Tucker and Felix. We are so grateful that we found her to care for them!”
“Cody had a great time! I received multiple pictures a day of him playing outside, getting belly rubs and watching squirrels. Whenever we take another family vacation, James and Mary will be the first contact we make. We know Cody is in good hands.”
“Lonnie watched our border collie Gruffy while we went on a week vacation. Gruffy had a wonderful time with Lonnie and I am pretty sure he was on vacation too! Lonnie really did make Gruffy part of his pack that week and took the time to send us pictures. The pictures were great! I know Gruffy had a fabulous experience and we highly recommend Lonnie to anyone who has a fur baby.”
“Casey and Marwa are the most accommodating and caring dog sitters, we have ever had. They do their best to keep with the routines that Indiana knows and then add extra long walks, treats, brushing, playing, and lots of love. Their Pug Kevin is so cute and friendly. On top of that, they are super-flexible with drop off and pick up times and took Indy in on very short notice. Will definitely be back”
“Lydia was an exceptional boarder, I would highly recommend her to keep your pet in her home. Her whole family welcomed Sophie like she was their own! Lydia supplied daily updates with pictures and couldn’t have been any more helpful. I will definitely utilize her services again hopefully (I will be boarding Sophie again in April). Thanks again for the stellar job you did Lydia, my wife and I couldn’t be happier with Sophie’s care! Mike & Lisa”
“Link enjoyed his stay. The videos of him having zoomies don’t lie. Picked him up and he was tuckered. Thank you Curtis, Lindsey and family for treating Link as one of your own. Will definitely book you guys for future times when Link can’t travel with us.”
“Chris did an excellent job with my little Moon! She was so accommodating and responsive to all his needs and whims! Chris will be the first person I look for if I ever need a sitter for my dog again😊”
“We needed help with our dog as we moved into a new home so he wouldn’t be under foot. We were so lucky to find Heather D! Her property was right down the road from our new place! She is warm and friendly and her property is huge with all of the makings for a great time for dogs! Spacious and large grassed and fenced areas for playtime! Heather D graciously shared photos of Tucker having the time of his life. Tucker is a friendly dog and gets along with all animals he encounters so we were thrilled he’d have playmates with our visiting dogs. Fantastic photo moments of him running and playing with other dogs and some of the quieter moments like sitting on the couch watching TV with Heather D’s family. Her property was safe and clean and truly ideal for what she provides for boarding. I’d highly recommend Heather D and Tucker looks forward to spending time there again! 5 stars :)”
“Alex took great care of my Mini Aussie Tango these last several days, including timely communication and updates! His place with the large enclosed grass yard was perfect for Tango to get her energy out. She really enjoyed her time with Alex’s dog Reese and came home happy and exhausted!”
“Jolene was so phenomenal! I needed a last minute booking for the weekend because my father-in-law had a medical emergency and we needed to go out of town. She claimed she had available and was quite flexible for drop off and pickup. Bella had a wonderful time, was clearly loved and cared for well, and Jolene sent lots of photos and even a video! I highly recommend Jolene's dog sitting services.”
“Steven was an amazing caregiver to Willow. He is professional, responsible, and attentive. We will certainly be using Steven again when we are in the Pikesville area needing a dogsitter! 10/10 recommend!”
“I highly recommend Angie and her dog-loving family! Our dog has never come home from a week at "camp" happier (or more exhausted). They treated Flynn like one of the family from the moment he arrived. He absolutely loved playing with the kids and the other dogs, and he was very intrigued by the chickens. Flynn got plenty of exercise in their spacious yard, played lots and lots of ball, got plenty of pats and love, and even slept on the bed with the kids. Angie sent plenty of pictures and updates reassuring us that our anxious pup was settling in well. We will be return customers for sure!”
“Terry does fantastic work, and is more than willing to help out whenever needed. Mara had another wonderful time visiting uncle Terry for the weekend! Thanks Terry!”
