“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“She loves dogs truly. She let our little dog to sleep on her bed first night to let him feel like home. She updated and sent photos twice a day. The little dog seems to make the furry friends and like his stay”
“I've used Denise several times now and I don't trust anyone else to look after my dog, but her! It's so hard to find a dog sitter with a small dog these days so I am definitely lucky to have found her :)”
“Liz was wonderful with my dog over the weekend, providing attentive care and updates. I returned to a happy and well-cared-for pup. Would definitely trust her again.”
“Kelly and Maurice are a home away from home for our pup. Thank you for always taking such good care of our Lola Pearl. You and your family help are a godsend.”
“Onayda is absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anybody that loves their pet and wants to ensure that they will be looked after with love and care. Will definitely be rebooking. She gave my puppy a bath, and my pup smelled absolutely amazing when I picked her up!”
“Tina was a fantastic sitter for our 10-year old pup! She is clearly a “dog person” at heart and set us at ease right away. Snowball settled in right away and acted confident and comfortable with Tina. She took him for walks and played with toys and sent us cute photos each day! It was evident Tina took excellent care of him! Tina was also quick to respond and communicated well throughout our booking. Will definitely book with Tina again!”
“Once again we had Anika watch our Max and once again we had one happy puppy both when we dropped him off and when we picked him up! We are so happy we found her and Max loves his time spent with Anika and Chip.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Duke! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of my questions, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout Duke’s stay, she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and well cared for he was. That level of communication meant so much and truly set her apart. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Lindsay made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dogsitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! 🐾”
“La Tasha was amazing with my dog Teddy!! This is her second time with him and he isn't the friendliest dog to work with but she's always patient and kind to him. Also, she's able to work with my last minute bookings and I REALLY appreciate that. Thanks again!!!”
“Needed last minute care for the July 4th holiday and found Aaron and Tia! Very accomodating and happy i chose them! I was worried Howie would get anxious but the daily photos and videos assured me he was well cared for and happy! Thank you so much!”
“Bianca is a great sitter. She is very accommodating and considerate of Lowdown's needs. He really enjoys spending time with Bianca, Pepper and the rest of her family. ”
About: I have taken care of many different types of animals for 6 plus years for all my local friends and family with the utmost joy. I have a remote job which allows me to work from home so my schedule is very flexible to take care of animals whenever needed. I treat every animals like my own and will take care of them with the utmost care. I follow any guidelines the animal owner has for me to take care of each animal with care.
“Emily was GREAT! As soon as we met her for a meet & greet prior to her dog sitting we knew she was perfect for our dog Pablo! Emily made me feel at ease by sending updates on Pablo and providing us pictures of Pablo as well. Definitely will rebook with her again!”
“Lilian was so kind and welcoming! I loved that she kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. She took such great care of my puppy Nova over the weekend. Nova had so much fun running around she came home and went to bed 😂. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!”
“Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
“This was our first visit with Stephanie and Blaze and it was great! Stephanie is quite welcoming and she has a very comfortable home, which Henry seemed to fit right in! I love it that she sent me photos, which reassured me that Henry was settling in well. We are already scheduled for 2 more visits!”
“Brittany and her family were lovely and Mya enjoyed her stay immensely!!! She misses them already. Highly recommend for any family that wants peace of mind one of their family members are taken care of. Thanks again Brittany!”
“From the moment we connected, she was kind, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure my dog Beethoven felt comfortable and loved. She provided consistent updates, photos, and little notes that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dog adored her — the calm energy, the patience, the playtime, and the snuggles. It was clear she treated him like her own. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog and a smooth, stress‑free experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Monica to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. She’s truly exceptional.”

While currently a part time student and part time employee some days are busy. Weekend availability will always vary but will be known in advance.

“Cynthia did an amazing job watching my cat, Rory. She always kept me in the loop and sent picture updates throughout my trip! Will definitely go to her for any pet sitting needs in the future :)! Thank you!”
“Lindsay stayed for 10 days with my 17 year old cat. He takes many supplements and meds and Lindsay followed the schedule precisely. She sent updates and pics everyday to let me know how it was going. She made sure he was well cared for and that he felt comfortable with her. After the first day, he was snuggling with her on the couch. She checked in when she had questions. Lindsay was respectful of my home which made me very comfortable having her stay. She was an excellent sitter and I would highly recommend her. I will absolutely be rebooking with her anytime I need to go out of town.”
“There’s nothing like traveling and worrying the entire time! I was hesitant to use this app and I wasn’t having any luck finding a sitter…until I came across Emily! She kept me informed everyday! My fur babies were in such a better mood when I came home. They are usually boarded and that was not the best environment for them. It would take them days to resettle in at home. Thanks to Emily they were very well cared for! I will rebook for sure!!!!”
About: Hey there! I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years…or really, my whole life! From dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, bearded dragons, and even fish, I’ve shared my life with animals of all kinds. I currently live with four cats who have taught me even more about patience, play, and intuitive communication. I’ve also helped friends with pet care, walked dogs of all sizes, and provided loving attention to pets while their humans were away. Animals tend to gravitate toward me, and I feel deeply connected to them. I believe in meeting each animal where they are, tuning into their energy, and ensuring they feel safe, seen, and nurtured. Whether it’s a playful walk, cozy check-in visit, or overnight care, I’m committed to showing up with love, attentiveness, and a calm, grounded presence. Your pet will be treated like one of my own!
About: Cats have always been a huge part of my life, I’ve had them for as long as I can remember and currently care for five of my own. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with all types of feline personalities, from social and playful to shy, independent, or anxious. I understand that cats need a different kind of care than dogs. I pay close attention to their body language, respect their boundaries, and let them warm up at their own pace. I’m experienced with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime/enrichment, and making sure their environment stays clean and low-stress. I’m also used to multi-cat households, so I understand dynamics like separate feeding, monitoring behavior changes, and making sure each cat feels safe and comfortable. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers space, I’ll meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel secure while you’re away.
About: I’ve lived in a multi-cat household for over 25 years and have cared for cats from a wide range of backgrounds, including shelter adoptions, strays, and cats who needed to be rehomed after losing their owners. I’m experienced with shy and senior cats, and I understand the patience and consistency they need to feel safe and comfortable. I also pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and litter box habits—because small changes can matter with cats.
“We've used Kimberly several times now caring for our four cats. Kimberly instantly made a great impression at meet up and continued her professionalism with each visit. I've unfortunately dealt with sitters who took advantage of my flexibility with time, but not Kimberly! If I put a time frame for her, she honors it 💯! My cats have very much trust her and I am so happy I was able to find her on Rover!”
“Took great care of the cats, including one very high maintenance 18+ kitty who frequently has litter box issues and has daily meds. Jessie C. kept the box (and the cat’s accidents) cleaned up and cats well looked after.”
“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat for a week. She took a lot of pictures and left detailed notes after each visit. She goes above and beyond the call of duty! We definitely plan on using her pet sitting services in the future.”
“Vanessa was great! I received a lot of pictures and updates which was greatly appreciated. She was timely with the drop in visits and I felt comfortable with her taking of my 2 cats. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Haley! She understood that we were anxious about leaving our cat home for a week for the first time and was very knowledgeable about how to interact with/care for cats. We got updates after every drop in about how Kira was doing, her mood, how she was adjusting, and of course updates on food/water/litterbox. We will absolutely be contacting her again for future petsitting!”
About: I love all animals especially dogs. I think they are the most loyal and loving animals on this earth. I have over 19 year of caring for dogs of all sizes. I have trained all my dogs myself, and they are very well behaved. Dogs love me and they will be in good hands. I can crate your dog if you require and work on obedience training.

I can provide pickup and drop off service. Cost is based on distance. Feel free to send me questions. Free meet and great upon request, and I can bring Latte and Brown for introductions.

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a stay at home mom and lifelong animal lover who understands that pets are family not just animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away, so you can enjoy your time knowing they’re in caring hands. Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up in a family that rescued animals, and my mom has worked in the veterinary field her entire career. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom to my three little ones, I spent years working in animal hospitals, where I gained experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. That background taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for animals. At home, we have three playful kittens and a friendly dog, so your pet will be staying with someone who truly understands their needs. We also have a large backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise. I know every pet is different, which is why I do my best to stick to their normal routine. Whether that means feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, walks, cuddle time, or simply giving them space to relax! I’ll care for your pet the way you do at home. I believe keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps reduce stress and makes them feel comfortable. When your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and updates while you’re away so you always know they’re happy and well cared for. I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d be honored to care for your pet and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home. I am currently a stay at home mom to four children, I am available almost 24/7 to be able to care for your pet, and have a very flexible schedule I have a decent sized yard, it is not fenced in but your pet will never be left unsupervised outside. I am a firm believer that pets are family and will be treated as such. There is no limitations on where your pet will be allowed to go in my home. They want to jump up on the couch for some snuggles? Go right ahead. Feel more comfortable at night in my room? Come right on in. The way your pet is cared for at your home is how they will be treated here.
“Denise was great and treated our dog like family! Her family was very welcoming at the meet and great and every time we dropped our dog off at her home. He always comes home happy, tired, and content. I would highly recommend Denise!”
About: Hi I’m Lindsay! I love spending time with our extroverted dog Zoomy 🐾 and with my cousin’s two cats Windex 🐈 and Squirt 🐈⬛. Zoomy would love to have some friends come over to play. I am a super responsible and clean person and would love to care for your fur babies while you’re away! Right now I have very flexible scheduling so send me a message! I can do daytime hours or evenings, just let me know. I’d be happy to work with you and your schedule. We have a big yard with an invisible fence for your dog to run around. Plenty of space inside the house to play too! I will make sure to give your dog plenty of water and potty breaks and meticulously follow any instructions you leave me!
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, from birth to the end. I have given medication also, so if you have an animal with medical needs, I can handle them. I currently work from home and will have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am available weekdays and weekends, whatever suits your schedule. I have a fenced yard for your dogs. I can care for cats in my home. Whatever your needs are for your pets, I can handle them.
“They took in my dog on such short notice and she had a blast! I would definitely recommend and bring her back in the future. They gave her extra cuddles and I know that made my dog really happy. Thank you so much! 😊”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I've owned both dogs and cats over the years and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and personalities. I regularly care for my parents' three dogs—including an energetic puppy—multiple times each month, so I'm comfortable with everything from playtime and long walks to keeping routines consistent and providing plenty of attention. I'm also a mom of two kids who have grown up surrounded by animals and absolutely love them. We believe pets are family, and I understand how important it is to know they're in caring, trustworthy hands when you're away. I'm an active person who loves being outside, so if your pup enjoys walks, adventures, or simply getting out to explore, I'd love to have a furry friend join me. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, or just have someone dependable to keep them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home, giving me the ability to provide pets with consistent attention throughout the day. Whether it's walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, or cuddles, I can easily adapt to your pet's routine and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I will treat your furry family member as if they were my own by following their normal routine, respecting your home, and providing plenty of love, exercise, and attention. I also have a ton of land that your pet would love exploring with me! I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“I would leave Linda 10 stars if I could. She was very flexible with my early drop off times. Sends lots of pics of your pet while they are with her. My dog has the best day ever when she goes to Linda’s house, she comes home and puts herself straight to bed after a day at Linda’s daycare!! ❤️”
“We were visiting Tifton, GA for a few days and wanted to find a sitter where our 2 year old active black lab could run and play and enjoy the day while we were sight-seeing. I requested the stay the day before and Michelle responded to my request within 15 minutes! Even though Michelle was 30 miles away from where we were staying, it was worth the travel to have a family so loving and attentive to Gus! Their home was perfect for Gus! Big wide open space to run, another friendly dog, Roscoe, to play with, and a dog-friendly home that met all his needs. If we are in this area again, we will definitely contact Michelle!!”

“Laura did a great job with Beau- we did our first doggy day care with her. She has 3 other dogs of her own- I think Beau enjoyed playing with some (all?) of them. She sent pictures and was very responsive and flexible with timing. I appreciated it!”
“Daphne absolutely LOVED hanging out with Brittany and her family. I was a little nervous leaving her with a new care provider because of her anxiety, but Brittany’s family made sure she got the love and attention she needed and I’m so grateful for them! Thank you Brittany!”

“Second time using Genil (in less than two weeks) and she was just as great as the first time. I had a last minute request and she accommodated my early morning drop off time.

About: I have had dogs in my household ever since I was a little girl. I have had a chocolate lab, boxer mix, basset hound, German shepard, pit bull, and now Mr. Oakley who is a lab/pit mix. I love to bond and care for fur babies and I enjoy playing and loving on them any chance I can get. Hi! I’m currently a full-time teacher in Anne Arundel County and an experienced caregiver who loves spending time with animals. My background in education has made me responsible, communicative, and dependable. Starting in June, I’ll have a much more flexible schedule as I transition from teaching, allowing me to offer more availability for walks and drop-ins. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! I care for my pets in my home by making sure their food and water bowls are always full and fresh. I make sure that my dog gets some outdoor playtime each day to burn off his energy and to be able to stay healthy and to help us bond together. I love to spoil my dog with homemade popsicles, treats, and yogurt bars are his favorite! My dog loves to have all attention on him and he is a sucker for a belly rub followed by jumping in your bed to snuggle with you.
“Haley is great! She’s been walking my old Boxer boy every week for months now. She’s responsive, reliable, flexible. Most importantly, based on the adorable photos she sends, my dog adores her.”
“Was searching for a walker very last minute and I could not have been luckier to have been able to get Jake to care for my dog! I felt so secure and comfortable with him in his care and he was so responsive and kind, and I will surely be looking him up well in advance of my next trip so I have a good chance of being able to have him walk my little guy again! Thank you so very much, Jake!!!”
About: I love animals with all my heart. I’ve never met a pet who hasn’t loved me. I agree with the statement that animals are very energy in tune and I’d like to think so am I! I’ve done lots of dog sitting and cat sitting jobs for people close to me and they’re satisfied with how I did, so you 100% will be too. Your pet is in responsible, attentive hands. I have a free schedule and I’m in desperate need of a side hustle. I have too much free time and I think this would be the perfect thing to book my schedule with, especially because of how much I love being outside and animals. I’m very mindful of the safety even of my own animals so your pet is in the best of hands. Although my yard is not fenced, I take my dog out for walks leashed and for the few times she has escaped, I’m not near any major roads for there to be any accidents or for her to be in harm’s way. I am very vigilant and I would never put your animals or my own at risk because pets are apart of the family and I’d never let anything happen to a family member, even yours.
“Lydia walks our one-year Papillon Mix several days per week. She's always timely and provides us updates after each walk. Our dog is always happy when we get home from work. We highly recommend Lydia for walks!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I currently have five cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and care needs. I also have an 8 month old husky, so I’m experienced with high energy dogs, routines, and the patience and consistency they need. Friends and family have always trusted me to care for their pets, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like my own and pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and routine. I’m comfortable with multi-pet households, and keeping things clean and organized. My goal is always to make your pet feel secure, happy, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. My schedule is very flexible right now, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and consistency. I’m available most days for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting, including weekends. Because I have pets of my own, I’m already in a daily routine of feeding, cleaning, playtime, and walks, so adding your pet into that routine is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I will follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep things consistent and low-stress. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos. I’m very mindful of things like secure doors, leash safety, and making sure pets don’t have access to anything unsafe. With my own experience caring for multiple cats and a high-energy dog, I’m used to staying organized, clean, and attentive. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats ever since I was a child! I love all sorts of animals, and realize each 4-legged family member has their own personality traits and quirks! I have had dogs as small and sassy as a chihuahua, and as big and fast as a pitbull mastiff!! I work for myself and make my own schedules! So I am completely available 24/7 as needed! I mainly use public transportation but have my own vehicle all day on fridays and weekends and after 6:30pm on weekdays I will always be closely monitoring your baby for differences in behaviors, and any other issues! I am very quick on my feet and fast to react to any situation!
About: I am a lover of all animals and always have been. I had a dog growing up and currently have a spoiled dog named Snickers. I used to help a friend groom dogs also. I am currently between jobs so I am available and want to keep myself active during this down time. I have a dog of my own but I figured spending more time outdoors and with animals will be beneficial to my mental health. I walk my dog multiple times a day around our neighborhood. We often go to the beach where he loves to explore. Occasionally, we will go to the dog park. I have house-sat for other dogs in their homes, and when we aren't outside playing, I will cuddle on the couch and watch movies with the animals and give them lots of pets.
About: I treat every animal like my own and have years of experience rescuing, fostering, and placing cats and dogs in loving homes. I’ve worked with ill and high-anxiety pets, providing patient, compassionate care. My passion is helping animals — and their owners — feel safe and supported. I offer flexible pricing to fit your needs and budget, with a military discount available. I am a full time pet sitter. I am available anytime that works with your schedule and the schedule of your pets needs. I do my best to keep your pets on the schedule you have established. I do my best to keep your house as clean as possible so when you arrive home from your vacation or business trip all you have to worry about is relaxing and spending time with your pet

“Nikki is absolutely amazing. My dog is very nervous around people, she did not rush him. Initially, I reached out to have her handle some dinners a couple of times a year but then I had an unexpected death in the family that required me to go out of town for seven days. She was wonderful working around my schedule. We received multiple updates showing how happy he is hanging with her family and dogs. This meant the world to us knowing he was is such good hands.”
“I've used Denise several times now and I don't trust anyone else to look after my dog, but her! It's so hard to find a dog sitter with a small dog these days so I am definitely lucky to have found her :)”
“Liz was wonderful with my dog over the weekend, providing attentive care and updates. I returned to a happy and well-cared-for pup. Would definitely trust her again.”
“Onayda is absolutely amazing! I would recommend her to anybody that loves their pet and wants to ensure that they will be looked after with love and care. Will definitely be rebooking. She gave my puppy a bath, and my pup smelled absolutely amazing when I picked her up!”
“Tina was a fantastic sitter for our 10-year old pup! She is clearly a “dog person” at heart and set us at ease right away. Snowball settled in right away and acted confident and comfortable with Tina. She took him for walks and played with toys and sent us cute photos each day! It was evident Tina took excellent care of him! Tina was also quick to respond and communicated well throughout our booking. Will definitely book with Tina again!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsay was absolutely amazing with my dog, Duke! From the very beginning, she was professional, responsive, and attentive to all of my questions, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Throughout Duke’s stay, she kept me updated daily with pictures and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and well cared for he was. That level of communication meant so much and truly set her apart. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Lindsay made the entire experience smooth and stress free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dogsitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Duke! 🐾”

“Emily was GREAT! As soon as we met her for a meet & greet prior to her dog sitting we knew she was perfect for our dog Pablo! Emily made me feel at ease by sending updates on Pablo and providing us pictures of Pablo as well. Definitely will rebook with her again!”
“Lilian was so kind and welcoming! I loved that she kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. She took such great care of my puppy Nova over the weekend. Nova had so much fun running around she came home and went to bed 😂. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!”
“Lashelle was absolutely amazing with Rockie! From the moment I dropped him off, she kept me updated with thoughtful, detailed messages and plenty of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Rockie is naturally anxious in new environments, but Lashelle was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She understood his body language, gave him the space he needed to adjust, and helped him build confidence at his own pace. I especially appreciated how she handled introductions with her family and pets, always putting Rockie's comfort and safety first. It was clear she has a lot of experience with dogs and truly cares about their well-being. She kept me informed about everything—from his eating and potty habits to his progress settling in, making new friends, and even his funny moments watching TV! She also went above and beyond by cleaning him up after an accident without hesitation. By the end of his stay, Rockie had gone from being nervous to relaxing on the couch, enjoying the yard, snuggling with the family, and even warming up to everyone in the house. Seeing that progress meant so much to me. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Lashelle treated Rockie like one of her own, and I knew he was loved and cared for every step of the way. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is compassionate, experienced, communicative, and truly dedicated to providing exceptional care. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Kelly was so good to my Laney! She sent us lots of pictures of her playing and kept us updated. I had no doubt Laney was having a great time and in good hands during her stay :)”
“Lindsay was an amazing sitter for Kilo. She was incredibly friendly, responsive, and thoughtful from the very beginning, and took the time to do a meet and greet to be sure Kilo and her pup were a good match. She followed all of our care instructions perfectly and sent consistent updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. When we picked Kilo up, he was calm, relaxed, and clearly comfortable — it was obvious he felt right at home with Lindsay. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her.”
