“First time with Dynette. She was very concerned with Bella's needs especially when she had diarrhea. Good communication daily and pictures sent relieved some of our anxiety. Would request Dynette again.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Grizzly. He came home happy and tired. We loved receiving all of the updates and photos. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Lauren and James did such an amazing job with our dog while we were out of town for a week. They sent awesome updates every day and such cute pictures. Winston felt right at home with them and they loved him like their own. He probably had more fun with them than he does at home! He came back fulfilled and happy. We will absolutely work with Lauren and James again when we have a trip come up.”
“Jessica and her husband were great. My dog has separation anxiety, but she was in no hurry to leave their home. And, she's been relaxed since her stay with them. Communication was great. I will definitely use Jessica again!”
“Julie and family were great caretakers and communicators. My dog hadn’t been away from us for a while and arrived with his quirks. Julie was patient with him and helped him feel at home. A great Rover family!”
“Alicja was very friendly and took on my fur friend on short notice during a holiday weekend. She updated us with pictures, told us about interactions with other dogs and was very professional. I wish we were closer in distance so doggy daycare would be more feasible. We would use her again!”
“McKayla and Dillon are the best! They treated our four year old yellow lab Lucy as if she was their own. Lucy seemed happy and co tent to be with them. We are blessed to have found them and will be rebooking with them for our next trip. Thanks, thanks, thanks!”
“Patrick and Patricia are the best dog sitters you could ask for! They spoiled Marge so much I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home. They provided regular updates and treated her so well! I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Jen and her family were amazing dog sitters! They took such good care of my dogs and sent me daily photo updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate all the love and attention they gave them. Highly recommend!”
“Katie is great with our two dogs and very accommodating to our schedule when needed. This was our second time with her and we plan to use her again if possible. Thanks from Phoebe and Dexter for a great weekend!”
About: I have had dogs most of my life and have always been a responsible owner. I know how important it is for dogs to get exercised and stimulated. I work during the week during normal business hours but my adult son is with me and would see to it that your dog is taken care of during that time. He is also a dog lover and is very responsible and used to volunteer with the humane society. I would be attending to your dog in the evenings and early morning. I am available throughout the weekends. My back yard is not fenced and is adjacent to green space. I would make sure that your dog is walked regularly with a leash (at least twice a day).
“This was the first time we had the pleasure of working with Monika and family and all I can say is we would 100% use them again! They were so kind and caring and our golden retriever, Willow, had an amazing time there. I got plenty of pictures of her having fun with their other dogs, as well as snuggling with the humans in the household. They were amazing to work with and flexible when our travel plans changed slightly. I would highly recommend booking with this family!”
“My pup spent the week over the 4th of the July with Katie's family and had the best time of her life. Libby went boating, swimming and met new friends. Thank you Katie for all the loving care.”
“Jessica was the best! After a bit of a fiasco with another sitter, Jessica came through last minute and was a great back up. I will absolutely book her again. Our dog came home absolutely exhausted, but so happy, and we can't thank her enough for helping us out this weekend!”
“Allene took such good care of my bb Sloane! She sent great recaps and the cutest photos each day. She also has two wonderful pups that offered Sloane a lot of friendship and play during her stay and they were gentle with her since she’s little! Would definitely book Allene again!”
“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”

“Rylan did a terrific job taking care of our cat with a week of drop-in visits while we were on vacation. Rylan did an excellent job of providing daily updates and photos, and also brought our mail in, put the garbage cans out, etc. it is apparent that Rylan has a real love of animals, and it helped knowing that our little guy was well cared for while we were away.”
“This is someone who truly cares about animals. My cat is elderly, has some health issues, and came from an abusive environment. her care is very important to me. She deserves gentle love and Andria did a wonderful job for me. I have security cameras in my home and I knew instantly that my cat was in good hands. If you need a cat sitter I highly recommend her. Thanks again Andria.”
“Bethany did amazing with my two cats & was super flexible on dates/times when I had some last-minute changes! Loved the photos and will definitely have her on the list as a repeat sitter!”
“Julie is exactly what we were looking for in a sitter for for our cat, Lucy. She gave us photos and updates daily so we felt she was being taken care of very well! It’s so hard to leave your pet home but having Julie there made it easier.”
“Gavin took great care of our dog, Luna, and my brother’s dog, Ike, over the holiday weekend. He was reliable, communicative, and kept us updated with photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups and would gladly book with Gavin again. Highly recommend! 🐾”
“Meredith did a great job with our senior dogs. One of our dogs requires twice daily injections. She was very thorough and took the time to understand the best method for delivering the medication.”
“Malcalisha took very good care of my Buddah and managed to bond with him when I hadn't ever seen him not be terrified of other people. She sent updates every day via photo and video, and was very responsive to messages.”
About: I grew up having all kinds of pets, from small rodents, birds, cats, dogs, geckos, and fish. My love for animals has continued throughout my adult life and my comfortability around all kinds of animals is second to none. I work in private childcare, and am used to both entering into others homes and being respectful and trustworthy, and also provide loving and attentive care in my own home as well. Whether it's walks, cuddles, or reassurance that their parent will be back, your furry, cold-blooded, or feathered baby will be in good hands with me. Strong communication skills as well and as many photo updates as the pet parent would like! Monday through Thursday I leave around 7:45am for work and am back by 11:45 and home the remainder of the day! My 10 year old pup enjoys this schedule 😉 Friday through Sunday I’m home full-time. Lots of time spent playing, cuddling, and spending time relaxing together. I have a 10 year old female (fixed) 40 pound dog that is as sweet as can be and gets along with all animals! No prey drive whatsoever. We love walks, being outside, and cuddling on the couch at the end of the day.
“Grace is an amazing pet sitter. She has a calm, go-with-the-flow energy and was really great with my cats. I was anxious about leaving them, as this was my first trip since they both started medication. Grace provided me with a lot of reassurance and sent me pictures and updates of my cats throughout my trip. I will 100% be booking with Grace again.”
“Tim was outstanding!! He was on time, had exceptional communication, and made sure to give my guy the extra love and attention he deserves!! I will exclusively be using him for any future services that I book!! 10/10!”
About: My name is Kaitlyn & our family has a laid back 65lb pup named Lily(7) and a friendly high energy pup named Tater. We would love to welcome your dog to stay with us while your away! I foster dogs while they are looking for fur-ever homes so we are no stranger to other pups spending time here and showing them patience and love while they get acclimated. I have experience fostering nine 6 week old puppies, 3 year old dogs, Caring for elderly dogs with additional needs, reactive dogs, and everything in between. Our dogs eat raw food and I am very familiar with nutrition, supplementing, and holistic health so I am prepared to either help your dog stick to their raw diet, any other diet you've chosen for them, or giving medications/supplements as needed. We have a 5 foot fully fenced yard on a 1.5 acre lot so you can be assured they are getting plenty of exercise while your away as well! I only work 2 days in the office and we like to spend a lot of our free time outside. We love hiking + have hiked throughout MN, SD, CO, UT, FL, and lots of places in between. We have lots of trails left to cover, and would love your pup to join us! I currently work 2 days a week, and my husband has flexible hours. We balance our schedules to ensure your dogs needs are met. If they are not barkers, they are also welcome to come with me to my office! We have a 5 foot fully fenced yard - we always supervise time in the yard, and every gate is locked with a padlock that only my husband & I have the code for. We also have a dog room and kennel run so if your dog wants extra unsupervised time outside, they are welcome to use the doggy door to access the 10x10 dog run. We kennel our dogs overnight while we can't keep an eye on them. We have plenty so no need to bring your own :)

Prices are estimates per day. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I grew up on a farm and my parents were both veterinarians. I love animals and am even tempered. I’ve had a dog my whole life (except during college) and I know how important exercise & companionship are for our furry friends. I’m currently working part-time from home and have lots of time to play & go for walks with your pup. My availability is very flexible. My backyard is fully fenced and a great size. My home is in a central location with great access to walking trails and not too far from the highway.
“Russell and Linda took our dog on short notice. They were a big help. They have a lovely fenced yard and safe protocols in place. He was happy and safe when we picked him up.”
“I can tell by the way Echo is always so excited to see Julie that she has a good time when with her and trusts her. She readily hops up into Julie's car without even so much as a glance back! And I love Julie's calm demeanor, regardless of the action with numerous dogs. And I think the dogs love it too. Echo always comes hope happy and exhausted - exactly what I'm after. :)”
About: I have had dogs my whole life & love them. I regularly watch my friends & families dogs while they are away. Pets are treated like family here. I work fir myself at home so am available & flexible. I occasionally attend meetings or out of the home appointments, but dogs are never left alone for long. I love taking dogs on walks & playing in the backyard. I have two medium sized dogs that are friendly and used to having company. They get along with others well. I have a large fenced in backyard. I’m happy to make arrangements that will make your dog comfortable with us.
“Emily is excellent! she is very responsive to any questions and accommodating to the needs of your dog and matching those with the needs of any dog staying at the same time. Our pup had a great time staying with her and we’re excited to have a great and trustworthy sitter in our area.”
About: I’m confident and comfortable with both dogs and cats, including puppies, senior pets, high-energy dogs, shy animals, and pets that need extra patience or attention. I also have experience with potty training puppies, reinforcing routines and basic commands, and making pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have worked professionally for years as a pet sitter for a wide variety of animals. This has given me experience and confidence in handling different temperaments, routines, and care requirements. I also grew up homeschooled on lots of land, so pets have been part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember. Because I was home during the day, I spent a lot of time helping with feeding, training, socializing, exercising, and caring for animals of all ages and personalities. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, whether they’re my own pets or someone else’s. I truly view animals as part of the family, and I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, patience, and love based on their unique personality and needs. I would treat every single pet as if it was my very own fur baby. I recently got married to the love of my life and moved to Mahtomedi! My husband works full time, I, however, have a completely wide open schedule! I have always loved animals and would love to fill my week days with taking care and of other people’s fur babies. Monday- Friday I am available any time of day all day. I am also available on weekends depending on the weekend, so please feel free to reach out and ask if the weekend you’re hoping for aligns with my summer plans. If I am staying in the pets home, I am sure to keep their routine as similarly as their owners do, so that both the pet and the owner feel as safe and comfortable as they can. I would be more than happy to send pictures and videos of their pet to update them on how they are doing. If the pets were in my home, I would do my best to make that temporary transition as smooth and as comfortable for them as possible. Whether that be bringing their own toys or bed, or letting them snuggle in the bed with me if that’s what they are used to. With my schedule being solely dedicated to pet sitting, your pet will never lack attention in whatever ways they need! Whether that’s endless walks and tug of war, snuggles on the couch, or just having a safe hand around to make sure they are picked up after.
“Rachel did a great job with our dog! She was very responsive and flexible. Daisy was so excited to see her on our second visit and gave her tons of kisses. Highly recommend!”
“Cate and Tim are awesome! They agreed to a quick meet and greet the day before watching Riley so when I dropped her off for the day she was right at home at their place. Riley made herself right at home and had lots of fun with the end result being a happy worn out pup. I got updatesnduring the day and great pictures of Riley that I could see that she was having a good time. I would definitely habe Cate and Tim watch Riley whenever I'm back in the area and need a sitter!”
About: We have years of experience with various animals from rabbits, chickens, cats and dogs. Our 3 year old lab mix, Casey, has taught us a lot in training and she loves meeting dog friends! I work part time, and my husband works from home, so there is ample time available to care for pets in our schedule, including daily walks and working with your dog's routines. We have a fenced backyard and great neighborhood in which to take walks. Our lab mix, Casey, loves to have dog friends to play with. We have a crate available if your dog prefers some alone space.

About: Hi! My name is Allie and I've spent most of my life loving and caring for pets in multiple different environments over the years. I grew up with a bushel of miniature schnauzers, a few rodents and a snake. In college I took in a feral barn kitten and made her the talk of the university! After college, I spent 5-6 years working in a dog daycare facility which gave me experience with all different breeds and an immense amount of knowledge on behavior. After doggy daycare I moved on to working in a veterinary hospital which was an incredible resource and opportunity for me to increase me knowledge on medications as well as other medical knowledge. I would love to have the opportunity to spoil your pet as well as give you a safe space to leave your furry friend! Over the summer I am out of work and home with my pups and kids. In late August I will be headed back to work at a school nearby but working relatively short hours. We love to go on walks, to the dog park, the human park or just lounge in the back yard.

I have a 12 year old pup who is a calm, unbothered queen and a year old pup who loves everyone and everything.

About: I love dogs of all sizes. We have been a Labrador and Rottie family and lost our last pup to cancer in 2023.

We would love your dog like it’s our own and abide by any rules or requirements that you have.
About: I grew up with dogs and know how to care for them, love going on walks and being with animals! Art student who just graduated looking to get some extra cash. Currently unemployed after just graduating art school, completely available anytime to care for pets or dog walk. Currently living at home in Saint Paul Minnesota. I don’t have an apartment where I can host pets but I can travel wherever you need me to go and follow whatever instructions I’m given to safely care for anyone’s pet.
About: I use to walk dogs for a part time job when I was younger. Have always had one or more dogs in my house hold. Also use to work at a pet store that was very into teaching about dogs health and fitness. I currently work full time but need more fun in my life. Dogs have always been there for me in my life and make my day better and more relaxing. I am great with keeping your pet safe from others on walks on roads. I know dogs take time to warm up to some people and have the patience to work with them to make them feel safe and trust me.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for the past 5 years, including boarding family and friends’ dogs for stays of up to a week. For the past 3 years, I’ve also regularly walked dogs for family and friends, so I’m comfortable handling different breeds, sizes, and energy levels. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a Golden Retriever/Newfoundland mix, which gave me experience caring for large dogs from a young age. I’m reliable, active, and attentive to routines, whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, or making sure dogs are comfortable while their owners are away. I’ve always genuinely loved being around dogs and enjoy getting to spend time with them. I’m currently home for the summer from college, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, boarding, and overnight stays, and I can easily work around pets’ usual routines and needs. Since I’m active and enjoy being outside, dog walks and spending time with pets fit naturally into my daily routine. I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions from the owner. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and supervision throughout the day. In my home, pets would have a safe, clean environment with lots of space. I have a large backyard for outdoor time and exercise, and I also have a very friendly Golden Retriever/Newfoundland mix who is well socialized with other dogs. Since the yard is not fenced, I would always supervise outdoor time and keep dogs safely on a leash when needed. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and work to keep pets comfortable in their usual environment and routine.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for years. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets when they are away. I’ve taken care of older pets in addition to giving eye drops and oral medication to cats and dogs. I have a cat at home so I am used to her routine and am easily able to fit your pet into my routine as well! I am willing and available to watch your pets. I do work second shift during the week but very available on the weekends. I have an upstairs and basement with plenty of room for our cat, Raven to run and play. She loves to lay on my yoga mat I have out in the living room. We have her litter box in the basement and plenty of toys for her.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes since I was a kid. I had 2 dogs growing up so I am used to big energetic dogs as well as small. I have a lot of experience with anxious and high energy dogs and am comfortable and enjoy taking care of them. I moved away from home for college so I miss my dog a lot so I am looking for some new furry friends to play with during the school year! I am a college student so my availability varies daily, I am available most weekdays (time depending) and weekends. I am available for multiple times a day if necessary. I have a dog at home who tends to run away often so I am well trained in keeping doors closed keeping an eye on them etc. I am good at following any specific instructions for any special requests a dog would need.
About: Hi! My name is Meredith, a devoted canine enthusiast and dedicated dog walker based near St.Paul, MN! With over ten years of experience caring for dogs of many breeds and sizes, I’m committed to giving your pup the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. My dog Sven loves walks, and together we have dabbled in barn hunt and agility, as well as obedience classes. My 30-minute walks are tailored to your pup’s energy level, whether they need a leisurely stroll or an energetic jaunt. I prioritize safety, fun, and personalized care, ensuring your dog comes back happy and ready for a nap. As a reliable and trustworthy walker, I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes from our walks. Book with me today! Starting August 11th I go back to school so my schedule will be different. I do not start work until mid morning so I like to do a morning walk and another after dinner if the weather is nice. I have a fenced-in yard and two smaller, friendly dogs that love to play. When the weather allows, there are great areas to walk dogs in my neighborhood.
About: I grew up on a farm and helped take care of animals since as far back as I can remember. I have done various pet sitting and house sitting jobs over the years, live with a dog and puppy, and I had my own cat for a decade. I am comfortable in the city and the country. Pet owners have commented many times that their pet warms up to me faster than other people. I am a nurse during the day, so it is in my nature to pay attention to details and be a caregiver of both the human and furry variety. I split my time between Eastern MN and Northwestern WI, but primarily live in WI. I often work as a team with my boyfriend, his service dog, and the puppy we are training to be a service dog. We both are highly experienced house and pet sitters and he is especially good at helping anxious or higher needs dogs. His service dog gets along with other dogs. He is also on Rover and trains dogs. We all would be more than happy to do a meet and greet to see if you were open to these visitors. I believe in basic trust and honesty, and making you and your pet as comfortable as possible. I am a good communicator that can follow a plan, but that is also flexible and adaptable to the needs of a pet or family. I like to make sure that everyone is on the same page with expectations and daily communication when caring for your pet or home. Something that carries over from my nursing background is I will leave you a detailed log of what happened while your beloved pet(s) were in my care, to give an extra layer of peace of mind.
About: I have always been a pet lover; I've had pets my whole life. Including cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and even rats! I have experience dog/cat sitting with my Mom who was a vet tech for 25 years. I currently have a Crested Gecko, a Pac-man Frog, a White’s Tree Frog, a PitX, and 2 kittens! I’m currently available every day, with the exception of Wednesdays and Sundays from 6 PM to 8 PM due to family commitments. I’m flexible and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! The safety and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority. I maintain clear communication with owners, offering regular updates and photos of your pet’s adventures. By understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs, I create a trusting bond. I approach every walk with care and attention, ensuring your dog feels safe, loved, and excited to get out for their daily exercise.
About: I have been a dog groomer for over 5 years, and am looking for a way to get more time working with animals. I have been working with animals as a petsitter for 15 years (from dogs and cats to reptiles and fish), and owned my own pets longer then that. I currently own a dog, two cats, some fish, a hermit crab and train/spoil two horses for a rescue organization. In the past ive also owned guinea pigs, hamsters and crayfish. I especially love working with special needs and nervous animals who need a calm handler. I have experience bathing, training, socializing, caring for, and walking animals in my local shelters. I also have a degree in animal science, so i am up to date with the current science of animal care. Whatever you are looking for, im happy to help. Currently i make my schedule as needed. I groom dogs when i can but in my free time am looking to pick up any time you may wish to book with me. Give me a few days in advance and i can usually make time to help you out. Pets in my home will be given three outings a day as long as the weather allows. These may be walks, dog park trips, field trips to pet stores, hikes, etc. Whatever you are comfortable with. More potty breaks if needed or asked. My current dog gets fed twice a day but i can follow your own schedule for your pups. Im pretty flexible, just let me know what you prefer. My apartment already has a dog and two cats, so animals staying at my place must be friendly. If i care for your dog at your home, just let me know what you are looking for. I can usually move my schedule around to give your dog the care you wish for. I love my pets like family, so never feel like you are asking too much when it comes for your pets care, I know how important they are
About: I grew up with always having a furry companion! I've taken care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, birds...the whole zoo. I have 12+ years of experience of caring for my own animals, as well as pet sitting for neighbors and family. I volunteered at my local senior center and strive to help others in any way possible. I also have experience in administering medication for animals such as insulin and antibiotics. I currently have 2 cats! I am currently going to college for a degree in psychology, but I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I'm available every day to walk your dogs, feed them, and play! I'm also available for spending time with kitties, cleaning litterboxes and playing + feeding them! Anything you need, I am able to do it! If your dog prefers to be crated, only likes certain walking routes, or just even prefers to chill at home... it's perfect with me! I have 2 cats at home so I know how to read their behaviors and cues, so they will stay calm and be taken care of!

“Thank you for taking such great care of Grizzly. He came home happy and tired. We loved receiving all of the updates and photos. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Jessica and her husband were great. My dog has separation anxiety, but she was in no hurry to leave their home. And, she's been relaxed since her stay with them. Communication was great. I will definitely use Jessica again!”
“Julie and family were great caretakers and communicators. My dog hadn’t been away from us for a while and arrived with his quirks. Julie was patient with him and helped him feel at home. A great Rover family!”
“Alicja was very friendly and took on my fur friend on short notice during a holiday weekend. She updated us with pictures, told us about interactions with other dogs and was very professional. I wish we were closer in distance so doggy daycare would be more feasible. We would use her again!”
“McKayla and Dillon are the best! They treated our four year old yellow lab Lucy as if she was their own. Lucy seemed happy and co tent to be with them. We are blessed to have found them and will be rebooking with them for our next trip. Thanks, thanks, thanks!”
“Patrick and Patricia are the best dog sitters you could ask for! They spoiled Marge so much I was worried she wouldn’t want to come home. They provided regular updates and treated her so well! I can’t recommend them enough.”
“Jen and her family were amazing dog sitters! They took such good care of my dogs and sent me daily photo updates, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate all the love and attention they gave them. Highly recommend!”
About: I have had dogs most of my life and have always been a responsible owner. I know how important it is for dogs to get exercised and stimulated. I work during the week during normal business hours but my adult son is with me and would see to it that your dog is taken care of during that time. He is also a dog lover and is very responsible and used to volunteer with the humane society. I would be attending to your dog in the evenings and early morning. I am available throughout the weekends. My back yard is not fenced and is adjacent to green space. I would make sure that your dog is walked regularly with a leash (at least twice a day).
“This was the first time we had the pleasure of working with Monika and family and all I can say is we would 100% use them again! They were so kind and caring and our golden retriever, Willow, had an amazing time there. I got plenty of pictures of her having fun with their other dogs, as well as snuggling with the humans in the household. They were amazing to work with and flexible when our travel plans changed slightly. I would highly recommend booking with this family!”
“My pup spent the week over the 4th of the July with Katie's family and had the best time of her life. Libby went boating, swimming and met new friends. Thank you Katie for all the loving care.”
“Jessica was the best! After a bit of a fiasco with another sitter, Jessica came through last minute and was a great back up. I will absolutely book her again. Our dog came home absolutely exhausted, but so happy, and we can't thank her enough for helping us out this weekend!”
“Allene took such good care of my bb Sloane! She sent great recaps and the cutest photos each day. She also has two wonderful pups that offered Sloane a lot of friendship and play during her stay and they were gentle with her since she’s little! Would definitely book Allene again!”
“Ali was great and communicated to us throughout our trip perfectly. She was very flexible, and Piper seemed to have a great time with her and her family! Would love to go back there again next time”
“Carman and her family were great with our 1yr old lab mix. He was so calm when he returned home. He enjoyed the walks and playtime. We appreciated all the photos she sent us.”
“Kyle took such good care of my baby Reba! Kyle had high communication with me regarding an ear infection that my pup was struggling with and even took her to the vet when she needed to be seen. My pup was at Kyle’s for over a week and had the happiest demeanor when I picked her up. It was clear to me that she was treated well and had a good time. I’ll definitely use Kyle again for Reba’s care.”
“Julie took great care of my two dogs Ollie and Hercules. Her two big dogs were wonderful around my little dogs. The backyard is fenced and safe and I felt content leaving my dogs with her. I will be coming back.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Our little guy is pretty apprehensive of new people and situations, but Janine made us all feel so comfortable, and she took such good care of him. We will definitely book with her again! Thank you Janine!”
