Karen was very loving towards my puppy. She sent regular updates with pictures. She was open to him sleeping in the bedroom as he’s accustomed to at home which I really appreciated. She also shared concerns about his eating and worked on a solution to get him to eat better while away from home. He was a happy pup with her.

Jazzy had a good time again staying with her favorite sitter, Joni. She really enjoys swimming which is something she never would have had the opportunity to do if it wasn't for Joni. I didn't even know Jazzy could swim, but had a chance to see her today when we stopped to pick her up on our way home from are trip. Jazzy played so much she slept all the way home and for 2 hours after we arrived home. Thanks so much Joni for being so good to our Jazzy. We love you.

I got several pictures a day and could see how happy my pup was. I love that my girl was socialized, loved, and well cared for all at the same time!

I am so thankful for Hannah taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I had to leave last minute for my dads funeral and memorial services. The washing machine flooded the basement, ankle deep, the night before the flight out- not the only disaster. With Hannah / Rover, my kitty was one thing that was in good hands, one less worry. I messed up dates on the app, Hannah fixed it. She called me to let me know the power was shut off so I was able to fix it same day. I accidentally ordered a bunch of books that got delivered after we left, she brought them in. 10/10 would recommend. Happy happy cat and everything good when we got back.

I've fostered cats and kittens, cared for seniors, and administered daily insulin injections to a diabetic cat. As someone who's always had a multi-cat home and has long provided cat sitting, I know how to help cats feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and there's nothing I enjoy more than making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. To give some insight into my experience, I have volunteered at my local humane society, caring for both cats and dogs. I also worked as a kennel attendant at a dog boarding facility, where I learned the importance of patience, routine, and paying close attention to each animal's individual needs. That experience taught me how valuable consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets with special diets, medications, or unique personalities. Over the years, I've been the go to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for cats of all ages and temperaments. Whether your cat is playful and energetic, shy and independent, or simply enjoys a cozy lap and quiet company, I'll happily follow their routine and give them the care they need to feel secure. At home, I'm owned by my sweet gray cat, Misty. She reminds me every day that every cat has their own unique personality, boundaries, and little quirks. Caring for her has made providing love, patience, and companionship second nature. When your cat is in my care, they're not just being looked after, they'll be treated like one of my own. I can't wait to meet your feline family member! 🤍

About: The one thing I love most in the world? you guessed it- cats. I’ve been a cat lover for as long as I can remember, and have owned one (or a few) ever since. I have experience caring for cats with all kinds of personalities, from outgoing attention seekers to shy cats who prefer their space. I have cared for cats of all ages (kittens to seniors of 20+ years) and temperaments. I’ve cat sat for my aunt and uncle, past rover clients, and friends as well. I understand how important it is to keep cats comfortable, maintain their routines, and make sure they feel loved and safe while their owners are away. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, treats, or simply a quiet companion, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they need. 😊🐾

I was very nervous using this site and a person I didn’t know to come stay in my home but once I met Rachel, I felt completely comfortable. One of my cats needed some extra TLC and having Rachel with her eased my mind knowing she could take care of anything with her knowledge and experience as a vet tech. I definitely recommend Rachel for a loving and worry free time away from your pets!

About: With over 25 years of experience in caring for dogs and horses, I approach pet sitting with an understanding of animal behavior and a compassionate approach. Whether your furry friend is a playful pup or an anxious companion, I use positive reinforcement techniques to create a safe and nurturing environment. I have a friendly 4-year-old golden retriever, Lily, who gets along wonderfully with other dogs, providing a perfect playmate for your pup. I regularly care for friends and family's pets, and have watched dogs recovering from surgeries and in need of medication. Our spacious 2.5-acre property offers plenty of room for dogs to roam, explore, and enjoy playtime in a safe setting. From daily walks to playing fetch in the yard, your pets will be in loving hands. Having used Rover to book pet care for my dog, Lily, I understand that leaving your dog can be nerve-wracking. Let me provide the peace of mind you deserve while you're away, knowing your beloved dog is receiving top-notch care! Working from home allows me to spend time with your dog throughout the day and attend to them as much as needed. I walk every day and am happy to take your pup along with me if they love walks too! With 2.5 acres and a super friendly, welcoming golden retriever, Lily, I'd love to welcome your dog into our home. We want your dog(s) to cozy in and feel at home, and welcome them sleeping in our room or in their crate, however they are most comfortable.

About: I've had and helped care for many different animals since I was a child including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, and chickens. We have 2 little boys in our home as well as a laid back newfoundland dog and 2 cats. Can administer medicine if needed and will try every trick in the book if needed to make it happen. I work part time from home so I will be home almost 24/7 besides the occasional errands. Animals can be with me as much as they would like. Dogs can be taken out and walked as often as needed. Animals can be allowed the run of the house or we also have a seperate downstairs area when some alone time is preferred or needed. Cats can be enclosed in a large quiet room with a tall gate if they prefer with seperate litter box. Crates are available for use upon request.

About: I have always loved animals and had pets my entire life. Currently have a dalmatian that loves to play and could use a friend to help them both burn energy. I work from home and would love to give my dalmatian, Bennie Mae, a walk with a new friend! Also, my schedule is very flexible. We have a dog-proof home with plenty of space to run and play. Nearby park with room to roam outside. Wonderful neighborhood to go on walks.

About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I grew up on a dairy goat farm. All sorts of dogs, horses, cats, cows, goats, etc. I have had Chihuahuas all the way through German Shepherds. Puppy age all the way through their whole lives. I am the biggest animal (especially dog) lover! I love meeting new personalities. I would spend 24/7 lounging around with my dogs & cats if I could!🩷 I currently have a 16 year old Minature Schnauzer, and an under 1 year old Goldendoodle. My old girl currently takes quite a few medications and likes her alone time. My little man loves to play, be active, and requires hands on often. Therefore, I work with a spectrum of needs. I will make sure your baby has all the play time (or alone/rest time) they need!🩷 I am a professional MMA fighter & bar tend on the weekends! Most of my job consists of being at the gym just a couple hours at a time. And I live 5 minutes away from where I train! It makes spending time with & caring for pets easy and frequent. I only bar tend two days on the weekend (and my boyfriend is home most of that time too 😁 ) Home visits 🏡: In my client’s homes, I can easily care for your pets however you need. I will play games with your furry friends, lounge around with them, etc. I am a very active person & love taking long walks myself, so I would love to do that with your dog if you’d like! I am a reliable, very detail oriented gal. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll get them done. I love when my clients can come back to a clean, comfortable space after caring for their fur babies. Boarding 🐶: I have a fenced in back yard on a quieter side street. We have an older Miniature Schnauzer, under 1 year old Goldendoodle, and two gentle, quiet cats that lounge around (pretty much keeping to themselves) 🩷 I have plenty of space in my living area to have the zoomies. I have a spare room to give your pet some rest and seclusion too! That means I also have ample room to crate your doggie, if needed. We would love to have your best friend come hang with us 🙂

Great environment for pups to feel safe, loved, and playful. You can immediately tell how much love and patience Kellie and Paige have for animals. The fenced-in yard is a definite plus! I had such a crazy/stressful day at work, and seeing how happy my pup was (Kellie sent pictures) made my heart full. So so happy we found this sitter!!

She is so fantastic! Her backyard is huge. Our dogs are still asleep and it's 16 hours since we picked them up. We're definitely going to ask her to dog sit them again. She's very friendly and open and communicates very well. We also got pictures during the day which was really nice. I think they had a fantastic time.

About: I will care for your pets as if they are my own. I have over ten years of experience pet sitting for friends and family, as well as extensive experience in cat rescue, including fostering more than 80 cats and kittens and working with TNR/community cats. I’m also experienced in administering medications and caring for pets who may need a little extra attention. I currently stay home while taking online classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and the opportunity to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether that means potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply some extra company, I’m happy to work around your pet’s individual routine and needs. I have two boys, ages 5 and 8, who have been around dogs and cats their entire lives. They are very respectful of animals and their boundaries, but also love to play with pets who enjoy the extra attention! We typically go for daily walks and love spending time outside. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets with someone else. I want you to feel comfortable knowing that I’ll care for them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I am currently at home full time. I am never away for more than 2 hours at a time. This gives me the ability to give your pet extra attention, exercise, play time and potty breaks. Your pet will be loved and cared for as it is in your home. I like to get to know their personal routine so I can keep it as close as possible to that while they are in my care.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals of all kinds. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and a wide variety of other animals, including those with special needs or unique personalities. Being a wildlife rehabber for over a decade means I am accustomed to all species of animals and am familiar with proper handlling techniques, medical needs, dietary needs etc. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, medications, cleaning, enrichment, and providing plenty of individual attention. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets, and I’ll treat yours with the same care and respect I give my own. I work during the day typically from 1230-2pm. Available any time after that to help however possible. I am available most days of the week. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and normal routine. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely for feeding, medications, walks, enrichment, and household routines. I’m experienced with different personalities and temperaments, and I always take the time to let animals become comfortable with me at their own pace. I keep their environment clean and secure and provide plenty of attention while respecting each pet’s individual needs.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life. From dogs to hermit crabs, kitties to turtles. But dogs have always had my heart the most! (🤫 don’t tell the others) I am a very calm and steady person and have always had a comforting effect on animals and people alike. Caregiving is something I come by naturally. So when I’m given the responsibility to care for someone, I take that very seriously. And I enjoy it! I will make sure your precious fur child feels safe, loved, and has so much fun! And I’m always happy to provide pictures and updates of their adventures along the way! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. I’m available at most times during the day and able to move around my own schedule when needed. I love taking them for walks, playing with them and giving them lots of attention. I would very much appreciate knowing what your routine is, or what your expectations are for your pets care. I will stick as closely as possible to what your fur baby knows and loves.

Kellie and Paige were both great with my dog. He’s a bigger dog and is kinda scared of meeting new people, and they were very patient with him and I on introductions and when they would come by to take him for walks. I also had several shift changes for the month I was here and they were great at communicating and flexible with their schedules, which was very kind. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and there's nothing I enjoy more than making pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while their families are away. To give some insight on my experience, I have volunteered at my local humane society, caring for both dogs and cats. I then spent some time as a kennel attendant at a dog boarding facility where I cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs. That experience alone taught me the importance of patience, routine, and attention to detail, especially when it comes to special diets and individualized care. Over the years, I've also been the go to pet sitter for friends and family, caring for dogs and cats of all ages. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra cuddles, I'm happy to match their routine and make sure they feel comfortable. At home, I'm owned by my sweet gray cat, Misty. Keeping her happy has made providing constant love and companionship second nature. When your pet is with me, they're not just being watched, they're being cared for like one of my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member!! 🤍 I'm currently working full time in the restaurant industry. 90% of the time my schedule is 4pm-11:30pm Fri-Teu leaving some midday and late night availability. Please don't hesitate to reach out if your request falls outside of my availability as I may be able to accommodate if there's enough time ahead. I look forward to meeting you and your furry pet! 🤍 I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where every pet receives personalized care based on their routine and needs. I carefully follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, ensure plenty of exercise and give endless affection. In clients' homes, I respect their space, maintain their pet's normal routine, and provide regular updates with photos for peace of mind.

About: I am a 24 year old woman seeking to support myself by pursuing my passion for caring for animals. Growing up, I naturally took care of many pets and enjoyed ensuring their happiness and well-being. I have previously worked with clients on an informal basis, handling pet care as favors or small jobs, so I have some experience in the field. While I am new to this platform, I am committed to providing high quality service to all of my clients and to making this a positive and meaningful experience. Please give me the opportunity to care for your pet and I promise they will be safe and well looked after! 💖✨ - - - Services I offer: • House sitting (My Basic House-Sitting service includes staying overnight with your pup so they have company and comfort in their own home, along with daytime care every 4-6 hours for potty breaks, meals, playtime, and cuddles.) • Dog walking (30 Minute Dog Walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup the exercise, fresh air, and mental stimulation they need during the day.) • Drop-ins (30 Minute Drop-Ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of snuggles to keep your pet happy and comfortable while you're away.) I am available mostly on Mondays through Fridays. So typically all weekday but I can work with you and work on weekends depending on the said request. Just let me know what you’re looking for and we can negotiate! I typically wake up in the morning and don’t sleep too late as well 💖 I believe that safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for the client are some of the most important aspects of responsible caregiving. When it comes to safety, I ensure that I carefully listen to all instructions and information provided to thoroughly prioritize your pet's well-being. Regarding trust and environment, I arrange meet and greets prior to bookings or scheduled dates with new clients to help your beloved pet become familiar with me and build trust naturally, reducing stress and fear when the time comes. I also stay within settings where your pet feels most comfortable, or I may take them to a nearby park to give your pet a chance to explore and enjoy. Ultimately, it’s all based on your preferences. 💖

About: I have experience caring for not only dogs and cats, but also rabbits and other tiny critters. I worked at a kennel so I have worked with a great variety of dogs, big and small, old and young. I have experience with giving medication as well as bathing and training dogs. Because of my kennel experience, I am not afraid of any size dog, even if they are on the more aggressive and energetic side. I have studied pet behavior and understand where my boundaries are and I will never overstep their boundaries. I want the animals under my care to feel as comfortable with me as possible. I am currently a full-time college student at Grand Valley State, so I am unable to offer full-time services. I am mainly looking for weekend work butt will still accept certain hours during the week. I live in an apartment, so boarding at my home is not an option due to pet limitations. But I am more than willing to care for my clients pets in their home!

Safety and environment for drop in visits A strong Safety & Environment section for your drop‑in pet sitting services should reassure clients that you protect both their pets and their home. Here’s a professional, standards‑based version grounded in industry guidelines and best practices. Safety & Environment Standards for Drop‑In Visits 🛡️ Pet Safety Protocols Strict routine adherence — I follow all feeding, medication, and enrichment instructions exactly as provided to minimize stress and maintain consistency.

Behavior & health monitoring — I watch for signs of stress, injury, or abnormal behavior and notify you immediately if anything seems off. 🏠 Home Safety & Security Secure home access — I verify keys, codes, and entry instructions before service begins, including backup access plans when needed. Perimeter checks — Before letting pets outside, I inspect gates and fences to ensure they’re fully secured. Final safety walkthrough — Before leaving, I check trash, food access, crates, and gates to ensure pets remain safe until the next visit. Situational awareness — If I arrive to unexpected people, vehicles, or signs of forced entry, I do not enter the home. I contact you and local authorities as recommended by professional safety guidelines. 🚶 Personal Safety & Professional Conduct Neighborhood awareness — I familiarize myself with walking routes, avoid poorly lit or secluded areas, and stay alert during all visits. No distractions — I avoid phone use during walks or outdoor time except for quick client updates in safe locations.

If you want, I can turn this into a branded Safety & Environment Policy page for your website or client welcome packet. Would you like it more formal, more friendly, or customized to your business style? Explain pet sitter routine adherence Pet sitter routine adherence means following a pet’s established daily schedule exactly as the owner outlines so the animal experiences consistency, comfort, and stability while their family is away. It’s one of the core pillars of professional pet care because pets rely heavily on predictable patterns to feel safe. Here’s a clear, professional explanation you can use in your policies, website, or client materials: 🐾 What “Routine Adherence” Means in Professional Pet Sitting ⭐ Following the Owner’s Instructions Precisely A professional sitter sticks to the pet’s normal schedule — feeding times, walk durations, medication windows, play preferences, crate routines, and bedtime habits. This reduces stress and keeps the pet’s internal rhythm stable. ⭐ Maintaining Familiar Patterns Pets thrive on predictability. Routine adherence ensures: Meals happen at the same time Walks follow familiar routes Litter boxes are cleaned on the usual schedule Treats and enrichment match the owner’s guidelines Sleep and rest periods stay consistent ⭐ Respecting Behavioral Needs Some pets require structure to feel secure — especially seniors, anxious animals, or pets with medical conditions. Routine adherence helps prevent behavioral issues like pacing, whining, or refusal to eat. ⭐ Supporting Health & Safety Sticking to the routine ensures medications are given on time, dietary restrictions are followed, and physical activity is appropriate for the pet’s age and condition. ⭐ Providing Stability During Owner Absence When everything else changes — the environment, the person caring for them — the routine becomes the anchor. Adhering to it helps pets feel calm, confident, and cared for. Want me to write this as a polished section for your Safety & Environment Policy, Welcome Packet, or Website? I can format it to match your brand voice — professional, warm, or friendly — just tell me the style you want.

I follow structured, industry‑standard protocols to ensure a calm, consistent, and protected environment while you’re away. 🐾 Pet Safety & Well‑Being Routine adherence — I follow your pet’s feeding, medication, and enrichment schedule exactly as instructed to maintain comfort and reduce stress. Supervised outdoor access — Pets are never left unattended outside. I check gates and fences before allowing outdoor time, a best practice emphasized by professional sitter guidelines. Climate & hydration checks — Water bowls are refreshed at every visit, and I ensure pets have appropriate shade, warmth, or cooling depending on weather conditions. Behavior & wellness monitoring — I observe appetite, mobility, mood, and any signs of discomfort, notifying you promptly if something seems unusual. 🏠 Home Environment & Security Secure entry protocols — I verify keys, codes, and alarm instructions before service begins and maintain strict confidentiality. Testing access methods and having backup plans are recommended by sitter safety resources. Perimeter & hazard checks — Before letting pets outside, I inspect fences and gates. I also ensure trash, food, and unsafe items are secured so pets remain safe after I leave. Situational awareness — If I arrive to unexpected people, vehicles, or signs of forced entry, I do not enter the home. Professional safety guidelines advise contacting the owner and local authorities in these situations. 🚶 Professional Conduct & Personal Safety Safe walking routes — I choose familiar, well‑lit routes and avoid secluded or high‑risk areas, aligning with recommended dog‑walking safety practices. No‑distraction policy — I remain fully attentive during walks and outdoor time, using my phone only for quick updates in safe locations. Emergency readiness — I keep veterinary contacts, emergency instructions, and your preferred response plan readily accessible. If you want, I can refine this into a branded policy page, a welcome packet section, or a shorter marketing version. Would you like it more formal, more friendly, or tailored to your business voice? Safety and environment for drop in visits house sitting and dog walksdescription Here is a polished, professional Safety & Environment Description that covers drop‑in visits, house sitting, and dog walks all in one cohesive section. It’s structured, reassuring, and written to match industry best practices — perfect for your website, welcome packet, or service listings. Safety & Environment for Drop‑In Visits, House Sitting & Dog Walks Your pet’s safety and your home’s security are at the center of every service I provide.

About: I have owned cats my entire life and our family currently have 6 cats (2 are my daughter’s). We have a Miniature Australian Shepard named Rooney! In the past our family had a Brittany Spaniel named Sydney and a Maltese named Jeter. They have all taught me something different, not to mention that just when you think you KNOW everything about animals, you learn something new! 🤣🐾 When it comes to experience, I have my 18-year old daughter to thank for introducing me to the pet care field and helping to grow my experience with farm animals (horses, goats, pigs, donkeys, sheep, chickens, ducks, and the occasional stray barn cat🥰🐾) as well as cats and dogs. Going along with Emma made me realize that this is something I want to do all of the time! So whether you have cats, dogs, caged animals/reptiles, or more, I’d love to help take care of them while you are away. Giving you peace of mind while making your pets feel safe and loved is my number one priority. I take pride in being a kind, honest, and trustworthy adult that would love to earn the loyalty of your commitment as one of your regular pet sitters. Your pets are as important to me as they are to you while you are away. I will check, recheck and then check again to make certain every step has been followed to ensure that your loved ones are well cared for, while looking out for anything that might be “off”. You can’t be too careful and sometimes an animals’ “signs” for need or distress can be quite subtle. So I never just pop in and out, but rather I facilitate well-visits! That means carefully following your detailed instructions and care notes. I always welcome as much input from you, along with a Meet and Greet prior to caring for your fur babies, so you can introduce us, help create trust, and provide me with the important details of your day-to-day routine. This helps me to best provide routine and structure (mixed with lots of spoiling and extra treats) for your little ones. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! 🥰🐾💝 I work full time as a teacher and tutor during the week, but Friday evening and weekends are wide open for helping you take a weekend getaway or enjoying an all-day getaway without your fur baby being left alone. I know how hard it is for me to leave my pets. The few trips I’ve taken were only possible because of caring neighbors that watched our cats/dog and sent lots of pictures for reassurance! ❤️ I am a rule-follower and will use your detailed directions to take care of your fur/feather/hair babies just as you describe! It’s my main goal to make your pets feel safe, loved and cared for while giving you peace of mind so your absence is a treat for both of you! 🎉🧁🍭🦴🍖

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, I had a shih-tzu that I raised and currently have an alaskan klee kai that is my soul dog. I LOVE both dogs and cats, they are such a light in this world. My friend and I used to dog sit for her neighbor once a month, and I dog walked for my neighbor every day for two years, as well as dog sat for her whenever she went on vacation! I know I may not have experience on this app specifically, but I have lots of experience in real life and I would be a great fit for your needs! I’m currently looking for a part time job so I can go back to college, and my friend suggested I check out rover, which I LOVE the idea of! I will also be moving to Lansing very soon! I can crate your animals if needed, take them on walks, feed and water them, play with them, snuggle on them, give them medication, whatever you need I can do as long as it’s safe to do it! Thank you for your consideration:)

About: I've been caring for animals of every kind since I was 10. I have over 25+ years experience working with animals as an animal behavioralist and dog trainer. I am also a Veterinary Technician (LVT). I am very passionate when it comes to dogs, any breed and size! I have been blessed to work and train with many ethologists (behavioralists), service dogs, K-9 units, leader dogs for the blind, and also at Wolf sanctuaries as a veterinary medical specialist throughout the United States. I specialize in pet first aid, senior care, medicating and CPR. Currently taking new clients and am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babie(s). At the present time, I have open availability to do house sitting, dog walking, cat care, obedience training and drop in visits. I will update any changes to my availability often. Pet safety and trust is my number one goal! I would like to first get to know you and your dog or cat through a meet and greet. I would like to assure you peace of mind and for your pet to feel comfortable as well. Will make any accommodations needed! My schedule is flexible, so will be able to cater to your pets needs! I'm also available weekends and holidays for house sitting or drop in visits. (*Additional charges will apply for house sitting & drop in visits during holiday dates*) Even though I have my own spoiled fur baby, please note that he will not be accompanying me to your home. His grandparents are more than happy to watch and spoil him rotten!! :) Please let me know your pet's schedule/needs. If they require scheduled medication or trips to the bathroom frequently. Also, how many hours that they can be left alone during a possible work day. I will definitely make every effort to accommodate a special needs pet ( separation anxiety, frequent medication administering, insulin, feeding tube, etc.(*Depending on the severity of the situation of your pet, please note that there may be additional charges for them during house sitting*)

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm surrounded by all kinds of animals. I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. 🐶🐱 I’m caring, responsible, and love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own! ❤️ I'm currently not working. Your pet will be my priority, and I allow many potty breaks for dogs and litter box cleaning for cats. I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, playtime, and care they need throughout the day. I love animals and safety is extremely important to me. I have a fenced in backyard and I live in a neighborhood at my house. I care for pets by making sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, and lots of attention. I also follow their usual routines and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in my home or their owner’s home.

I got several pictures a day and could see how happy my pup was. I love that my girl was socialized, loved, and well cared for all at the same time!
