“Elisabeth was amazing with Nala! She made sure to check in with me multiple times and sent me tons of photos. Nala was sad to leave! We will definitely be using Elisabeth as a dog sitter in the future!”

“Overall a great experience for me and our dog! Before boarding, our dog and I met with Evan's family for introductions. They are a lovely family with dogs of their own. They kept us updated on how our dog was doing through daily texts and photos. Highly recommend!”

“Brianna and her family were so awesome with our dog, Emmy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Emmy had lots of play time, pets, and snuggles. She even came home with her own bag of home made doggie treats! I will book Brianna for future stays.”

“Misty and her family are the best! We used to live just down the road, but even though we live 30 minutes away now, I will never send the pups anywhere else! My dogs love Misty and her family, and I always know they’re in good hands!”

“Melanie was great. This was our first experience using a dog sitter and I'm not sure how it could have gone much better. We will use her every time we need this service.”

“Gustavo is wonderful pet sitter, he sends lots of pictures and really cares about your pet. Molly was excited when we walked in for our second booking, which is a sign for me that she is comfortable with her surroundings.”

“Kirsten is a responsible and kind sitter. She took our puppy in the last minute and was so great with him. Their pup is also great with him. Kirsten kept me updated every day with pictures and what they are doing. I would definitely recommend and would leave my puppy with her again if needed. Great communication good experience. Totally recommend her”

“Bryan was great! He was super flexible and accommodating to what I have going on in my life currently. He sent me photos and updates which really put my mind at ease. We will definitely use him again!”

“Tiffiny took great care of our puppy, Beemer! She even started working with him on a few commands and continued potty training him. He was a happy pup when I picked up! Thank you!”

“I’m pretty sure Katie gave my dog more attention and took better care of him than my family and me!! No detail was left unattended to that’s for sure! Katie provided tons of communication on updates and pictures and our big guy had a total blast! We have already rebooked with Katie for this weekend!”

“Madhu and Bharath did a fantastic job. They gave our puppy lots of exercise each day, lots of outside playtime with other dogs as well. They sent us plenty of updates and photos and even washed out his food bowl before we came to pick him back up.”

“Rachel, Katee and their family were so welcoming to our sweet Kiya! This was the longest trip we’ve been on without her and I felt so much ease knowing they were taking care and loving on her like she was their own. They sent updates everyday and lots of pictures! She loved getting to play with their dog, Rudy and their daughter. We would definitely book with them again!”

“We had someone that was supposed to watch our pups back out last minute and Yingfei stepped up and was able to watch our pups on a last minute notice! She sent plenty of updates and pics throughout their stay and they looked like they really enjoyed themselves. Would definitely rebook with Yingfei!”

“Our Pup loved his time with Dawn! She was very proficient in keeping us up to date with photos. And she was also very flexible on timing for pick up and drop off! Thank you Dawn!”

“Jordyn did an excellent job. She has very patient and loving to our sometimes skittish and bashful kitty. She even got her to come from under the bed and play. Also, Jordyn took my trash out and wiped down the kitchen counters, great job, thanks you very much. I will definitely call Jordyn the next time we are away. I appreciated all you did.”


“Donovan did a great job taking care of my cats during a weekend trip. He kept me updated on their well being, sent lots of pictures, and was overall a pleasant person to work with. He even somehow got my skittish girl to come out - a feat no other sitter has accomplished. I highly recommend!”

“Raquel is wonderful! She took great care of my cats and communicated with me about visits. She made daily drop in visits for my cats. I came home to healthy, calm, well taken care of cats. She is very conscientious. I would recommend her and definitely ask her to care for my cats again.”

“Barbara did a great job taking care of my boys (cats) while I was away. She showed up as scheduled and took care of feeding and cleaning the litter boxes. I got photos each day which was fun to see and a video one day as well. Nice to know that they were well taken care of!!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I have walked, watched, boarded, and fed pets for many families. I currently work full-time, but I am home every day by 4pm. I’m completely free in the evenings and weekends, and I am very flexible. I do live in an apartment, so it may be easier for me to take care of your pets in your own home, but that is completely dependent on your needs! :)
About: Born and Raised with dogs my entire life. Active lifestyle for pets in a safe environment. House filled with children with additional love and attention for your special pet. I work with a flexible job schedule and a fiance as a stay home mom, so someone is always available to be home with your loved one or stopping by to check on them. My home has a fenced in yard to create an open space for dogs to sprint to run as they burn energy and stay safe. The dogs have a couch they are free to get comfortable on and get cuddles when they’re ready. We already have additional crates if they are crate trained or need a safe place with their favorite toy if their getting over stimulated.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of medical experience and attention to detail. I'm comfortable administering medications including injections and fluids so pets with chronic issues or post-surgery needs are no problem. I also genuinely don't mind (and actually take pride in) deep-cleaning litter boxes, cages, and small animal enclosures. You'll never come home to a lingering smell or a corner I've skipped. Reliable, thorough, and unfazed by the messy parts of pet care.

“Corensia did a great job taking care of our cat Gloria and the outside birds, as well as picking up the mail and packages every day. I appreciated the great photos and could see that Gloria, who is very shy and timid, allowed Corensia to let her and run her belly! Amazing! Thank you. I would definitely use Corensia again.”


“Abby is so good to our kitty. She plays with him and makes sure his needs are met (food, water, clean litter). She also lets us know if there are any concerns or issues that she runs into and goes above and beyond to fix them while we are away.”


About: Outside of having a cat of my own, I also have years of experience taking care of them. Some care I can provide for your cat is cleaning the litter box, feeding, and spending quality time together!
“Jaclyn is definitely good with pets and I would highly recommend her services. She instantly bonded with my cat and spend time with him while I was away. She also brought some toys which my kitty enjoyed (and still does). Jaclyn also visited before I left on my trip show I could show her around. She also provided very extensive reports and photos of her visits.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I learned to love and take care of them from a young age. My sister has cats and she taught me how to care for them as well. Taking dogs for a walk every few hours. Playing with any animal and showing them the love they all deserve. Feeding them when and as. I can take them on walks every few hours. Or sit with them for a while and keep them company. Feeding them and taking them outside after as well.

About: Hi! I’m Arturo, a responsible, active, and dependable caregiver with a strong background in leadership and coaching. I’ve spent years working with people in high-pressure environments as a soccer coach, which has taught me the importance of patience, communication, consistency, and attention to detail — qualities that also matter when caring for pets.

“2nd time having Taro take care of our 2 babies and he did a fantastic job! We were gone for 2 weeks for our wedding and we knew out 2 kitties were in good hands! We will for sure reach out to Taro again should we need a cat sitter!”

“They did a super good job taking care of our 2 kitties! They were able to work with our house's security system and did a great job following directions and communicating with us.”

“Zadee was great with our cat who requires insulin. We booked fairly late and she was available immediately to meet with Batman. She was great about updates and super flexible. Highly recommended!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Matson
About: I am a Veterinary Technician and a Professional Dog Trainer with over 10 years of experience. With a degree in Animal Science and extensive hands-on experience, I understand that safety is the top priority for every pet owner. When your pet stays with us, they will not only be safe but will also have a fun and enriching experience. In addition to boarding, we offer professional Training and Grooming services tailored to each dog's needs. My husband works nights and is home during the day to provide expert care and supervision for your pets. As dedicated owners of show dogs, we take pet care seriously and strive to maintain the highest standards in every aspect of our services. Our property features two fully fenced yards for play and exercise. The first is a secure 6-foot chain link and privacy-fenced potty yard, measuring approximately 20 ft x 60 ft. The second is a spacious, fully fenced double lot with rolling hills and lush grass, providing the perfect environment for your pet to run, play, and explore. *Dogs in our care must be crate trained during down time & at night. When we are not at Dog Shows or Training we are at home with our dogs. My husband works nights which means your pets will be left alone minimally. We have 2 fully fenced in yards. A smaller yard with 6ft privacy fence and a large play yard with 4ft roller panels. We do offer medical boarding on a case by case basis at an additional rate.

“Elisabeth is fantastic! Our pup has been to several Rovers (we are full time RV’ers) and she is one we would definitely go back to and recommend. Our pup, who is typically very shy at first, warmed up right away. He was treated with play time, a walk, a bone to munch on, and attention. Elisabeth was quick to respond to messages we sent. 10/10!”

“Kristin really saved the day with her flexibility after we needed to change care for Lola on short notice. Lola had a blast and came home exhausted after playing with the other dogs”

“I highly recommend Evan and his partner as a pet sitter! They took wonderful care of my two dogs for a couple of days and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. They were friendly, responsible, and flexible with scheduling, which I really appreciated. My dogs came home happy and well cared for, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups!”

About: I have had dogs all my life. I have taken care of every age of dog. I grew up wanting to be a veterinarian my entire childhood. I was even going to try and start the process, but then life happened and my plans had to change. My plans took me to being a stay at home mom to 3 kids who also love animals. While I am no professional, I love trying to help my dogs learn new tricks or commands. Once again not a professional, but I do all of my dogs grooming needs myself. I have clippers and a grinder for nails and all kinds of brushes. For the babies not afraid of vacuums I also have a pet grooming vacuum. I can brush bathe and clip dogs nails at the owners request. If you bring your own shampoo the bath will be at no cost to you. If you dont have any it will just be a small fee for me to use some that I have. I am able to give medications if need be. I can also follow special diet routines if necessary as long as you bring the supplies that are needed. I am a stay at home mom for our 3 kids so when your fur baby is in my care they will hardly ever have to be kenneled. Potty breaks can be as often as needed based on what they are used to at their actual home. Daily walks can be taken(depending on the weather). I would be delighted to care for your dog while you’re away! My home is shared with my husband, our three children, and two friendly dogs who love to play in our fenced yard. I also offer daily walks to keep your pup active and happy. I normally follow a two-meal schedule with my own dogs, but I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine. Since we also have a cat, it’s important that visiting dogs are comfortable around cats. My goal is to make your dog feel as happy and comfortable as possible while you’re gone. If there are any special routines or comforts that help your pup feel at ease, I’ll gladly accommodate them when I can. For higher-energy dogs, I even have experience biking with pups who enjoy an active workout.
About: I am a lover of all pets. Young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes. Even a play at the park. Your pooch will be pampered here. Experienced sitter. I am at home all the time. My husband works from home. All pets are loved all the day here. Me and my husband are grown up with dogs and we have our own sweet little fur daughter and want to get and share love to more fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a friendly trained dog to keep your baby company. My kids love fur. We walk, jog and can adapt as per your baby needs.
“Leo had a wonderful time with Harkiran and we were genuinely surprised that he finished his food. Harkiran shared lot of pictures and is very flexible with pick up times.”

About: I have had my 2 dogs since they are 8 weeks old. I would be so happy to look after your babies. I have a fenced yard with protection from dogs getting out. I currently work from home more than 3 days a week and can change accordingly. I’m flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Your babies will have 24/7 care and love with us. I have a fenced yard, a large dog crate, couple dog beds. I have one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. They are very friendly and playful. We have giant water fountain and toys for dogs.
“Angel was so great to work with! She was very communicative and she and her family took great care of our pup. She came home exhausted from a long day of play. Angel made sure to send plenty of pictures throughout the day as well! Thank you, Angel for the great care and peace of mind! ❤️”

“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”
“Ursula was fantastic. She communicated very well with us during Marley's stay at her home. We really appreciated her care for our little dog when we were in Tucson for a brief stay.”


“Ashley is excellent with dogs. My pup was immediately welcomed into Ashley’ home. Ashley is very responsive and is genuinely invested into my pup. I highly recommend Ashley and will definitely request her services again.”

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals from a young age. Cat, dogs, small animals such as birds and hamsters. My love for animals came in childhood and I will offer the best care! I currently work a hybrid role with my company so I have time at home to take care of animals for those that are looking for the best options out there. I have a large yard and a neighborhood for walking. I have a fenced yard so outdoor playtime can be provided without worry. I have 1 cat in home and 2 children in the evenings to offer lots of play for family friendly dogs.
“I just got my first dog and was super nervous having someone watch him for the first time. Jeanne made it much easier and I feel very comfortable letting her watch my pup. I will be booking her again!”

“Alvin goes to Beth’s 4-5 days a week. It’s been a few rough weeks for Alvin. He had surgery 10/1 and had a cone/collar for 12 days. She was great with keeping him from scratching but still be playful. He learned how to scoop the ball with the cone! We absolutely love the care he receives with Beth and her family!”

“Illie was so comfortable in Zadee’s home and warmed up fast, even for being a shy dog! She kept me updated throughout the stay and was so attentive to her needs. We highly recommend a stay with Zadee.”

About: Hi! I’m Alizée, a stay-at-home mom in St. Peters offering loving, personalized in-home dog care in a calm and safe family setting. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day, which means your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, supervised playtime, and regular potty breaks—no long hours alone. At the very maximum and on special occasions, I may be gone a maximum of 2h a day. I share my home with two sweet senior female Chihuahuas, so caring for dogs is already part of my daily life. Their gentle presence helps create a calm, dog-friendly environment, and I’m very attentive to comfort, routines, and each dog’s individual needs. I also bring a healthcare background to my pet care: I worked for 6 years as a nursing assistant and phlebotomist, which means I’m comfortable and experienced with special care needs, including oral medications, injections/shots, and close monitoring for senior or medically sensitive pets. What your dog will enjoy here: 🐾 A safe fenced yard for outdoor play and potty breaks - no chemicals are used in our yard and we remove dog's waste every other day. 🌳 Daily walks and outings near our local park 🏡 A cozy home environment—never a kennel 📸 Daily photo and video updates ❤️ Plenty of affection, supervision, and personalized care I intentionally keep the number of dogs I host to one at the time (or multiple from the same family) so every guest gets the attention they deserve and feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to care for small to medium dogs, including puppies who aren't fully potty trained yet, adults, and seniors, and I always recommend a meet-and-greet before the first stay to make sure it’s the right fit for everyone. Make sure your puppy is comfortable with other small dogs, and children. I’d love to welcome your pup into our home! Feel free to ask me any questions, I love what I do and I want my clients to know their puppy will be safe and properly cared for at my house. I am a stay at home mom, so I am available all day to care for your fur baby. Rarely away more than 2h at the time, your pup will have all the attention and playtime he needs. Our family wakes up early the morning, before 6.30am so if your puppy sleeps in a kennel, he will be out of it at sunrise. If the weather permits, we go for daily walks at the park and/or in the neighborhood. I adapt my days to your animal. So if your puppy needs more or less walk, more or less yard play, or any specific care, this is not a problem. My clients usually come with their feeding instructions and a feeding schedule for their puppy, and I will be applying all the rules they see fit for their animal. I like to keep your animal on the same routine as at your house to allow less stress on them. I have a fenced yard, two elderly female chihuahuas and a child at home. Dogs are never left unattended in the yard, I am always with them. I can easily crate your puppy if needed and I am familiar with the app FI that some of my clients already use. As a healthcare professional for several years, I am comfortable caring for older or sick animals. I provide daily pictures and videos to ease your stress while you are away. We do not use any chemicals in our yard and a very limited amount inside the house. Most of our space is cleaned using steam water. We also allow our own pets on the furnitures and your pup will receive the same privilege if this is in accordance with your own rules. We practice separate feeding time/station and separate sleeping area from our own dogs. Our house is equipped with cameras, inside and outside, allowing me to always have an eye on our animal if needed. During walks I do not allow contact with other dogs, and we stay on paved trails (no wooden areas or swamps) or neighborhood sidewalks. Unless it is an emergency, I do not take the liberty to transport my client's dog in the car. *exception will be made if you ask me to do so*

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Matson
About: Hi there! I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have been around cats/dogs my whole life, from puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats! I currently have a dog and a puppy of my own. I am a school speech therapist who is off work for the summer. I would love to make some new furry friends and to help ease your dog mom/dad guilt while you’re vacationing or at work. I will treat your babies as my own, whether it’s giving them snuggles while you’re away, taking your furry friends for a walk or just stopping by to say hello! I understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies. I value open communication and will send you updates with pictures while you are away or busy! If you are interested or have any questions please reach out to me. I’d love to set up a meet and greet :) I am on summer break from work so I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to my daily schedule. I am a night owl so I have availability during the night as well. I have a lot of pet experience and would love to provide long walks and visits with your pet while you’re at work or have plans!

About: I have lived my whole life with dogs and I am currently a Dog Mom of 1. I have experience with many different breeds and sizes, including a summer job at a local dog + owner fitness facility and volunteering at stray rescue in STL. My pet is also a rescue, so I have experience working with dogs who need a little extra care and comfort. My main focus is to show your pet some extra love while they are patiently waiting for you to return, and to help you as a dog parent feel at peace, knowing your dog is being well taken care of. I work a full time job, but I do have the ability to work from home when needed and a flexible lunch break. I am mostly free between 7:00-8:30 AM or 6:00-9:00 PM M-F, but I am also available during lunch hours (11:00AM-2:00PM) and weekends upon request. It is important to me that I get to know both you and your pet! I want everyone to feel safe and sound during appointments. For first-time customers: I am available for phone or video calls prior to the booking date, as well as in person meet and greets (when scheduled in advance). Afterwards, we can discuss communication preferences during visits and, if requesting regular care, what days/times you would like to book in the future.

“We have used Barbara multiple times. She always communicates well and is extremely nice to our dog. We appreciate having someone so reliable and never have any doubts about the care and attention given to our dog. Would absolutely recommend her.”

About: What sets me apart is my experience with both ends of the dog spectrum: puppies and seniors. I can handle puppy training basics like potty schedules, crate routines, and leash manners, as well as senior care including medication administration and mobility support. You'll get honest daily updates with photos. No fluff, just reliable care. I’m current a college student home for the summer and taking online classes to fill up my time but my schedule is very flexible for your needs. I would say I can promise you that your pets are in great hands since I have always been so attentive with pet care while living with so many animals in my life.

I can do any time of day. My weekends are available also for walking, check-ins, or boarding! 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. • 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. • 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. I am able to take your dog on walks/runs or play with them inside the house. I can take them outside to the bathroom, feed them, whatever your dog needs!

I’m a college student who works part-time so my schedule tends to be very flexible. With enough notice ahead of time I will always do my best to accommodate and meet your needs! Depending on the service needed will depend on the way I go about caring for your pet/pets, but I promise to always take care of yours as I would my own! A “meet & greet” is required as it’s important to me to make sure both your pet and I are a good match.

When caring for pets in their home as a guest, I make sure expectations are clear and rules are followed. I am available by phone anytime day or night when caring for your pets.

“Elisabeth was amazing with Nala! She made sure to check in with me multiple times and sent me tons of photos. Nala was sad to leave! We will definitely be using Elisabeth as a dog sitter in the future!”

“Brianna and her family were so awesome with our dog, Emmy. This was our first time using Rover and we couldn’t have been more pleased. Emmy had lots of play time, pets, and snuggles. She even came home with her own bag of home made doggie treats! I will book Brianna for future stays.”

“Misty and her family are the best! We used to live just down the road, but even though we live 30 minutes away now, I will never send the pups anywhere else! My dogs love Misty and her family, and I always know they’re in good hands!”

“Kirsten is a responsible and kind sitter. She took our puppy in the last minute and was so great with him. Their pup is also great with him. Kirsten kept me updated every day with pictures and what they are doing. I would definitely recommend and would leave my puppy with her again if needed. Great communication good experience. Totally recommend her”

“Tiffiny took great care of our puppy, Beemer! She even started working with him on a few commands and continued potty training him. He was a happy pup when I picked up! Thank you!”

“I’m pretty sure Katie gave my dog more attention and took better care of him than my family and me!! No detail was left unattended to that’s for sure! Katie provided tons of communication on updates and pictures and our big guy had a total blast! We have already rebooked with Katie for this weekend!”

“Madhu and Bharath did a fantastic job. They gave our puppy lots of exercise each day, lots of outside playtime with other dogs as well. They sent us plenty of updates and photos and even washed out his food bowl before we came to pick him back up.”

“Rachel, Katee and their family were so welcoming to our sweet Kiya! This was the longest trip we’ve been on without her and I felt so much ease knowing they were taking care and loving on her like she was their own. They sent updates everyday and lots of pictures! She loved getting to play with their dog, Rudy and their daughter. We would definitely book with them again!”

“We had someone that was supposed to watch our pups back out last minute and Yingfei stepped up and was able to watch our pups on a last minute notice! She sent plenty of updates and pics throughout their stay and they looked like they really enjoyed themselves. Would definitely rebook with Yingfei!”

“Cameron is truly a dog whisperer! My pup Louie and I are from Georgia and were completely unfamiliar with the area, but finding Cameron was a blessing! I’ve trusted him to watch my 5-year-old twice now, and I honestly don’t think I could find a more reliable and knowledgeable sitter. Cameron isn’t just a sitter—he’s a trainer too! He’s worked with Louie and me both at his home and at the park, helping address Louie’s past aggression with strangers. The progress has been incredible—our daily walks have become so much easier and more enjoyable! Louie also has severe allergies, and I was initially worried about flare-ups and hives while I was away. But thanks to Cameron’s careful attention and experience, Louie hasn’t had a single issue. I’m beyond grateful for the care and dedication Cameron has shown. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy—especially for your first time—you cannot go wrong with him. You have my word”

“Blake was amazing with my Pups! Picked them up and dropped them off for me. Even clipped their nails. That sounds simple but my lab absolutely hates it (sounds like you are murdering her and takes two people). He sent me a photo of her relaxed and smiling lol. Absolutely will be using him again”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. I started just walking dogs, and then progressed to watching family/friends dogs while they were on weekend trips/ vacations once I was able to drive. On top of watching other peoples animals, I’ve always had animals of my own, so I’ve been around Dogs/Cats my whole life. I am due in November, and I won’t be working once I have my baby. My schedule is completely open and my Dog is looking for a friend to have a sleepover 🩵 I have 3 acres and lots of room for dogs to run around and play! My dog gets along with any kind of dog, so your fur baby will have a friend the whole time! If you would like your dog crated, I can do that as well.
“Tamara was very responsive and helpful in coordinating Willow's weekend stay. She shared pics and updates. I could tell my pup got lots of love and attention. She also had a blast playing with Tamara's pups. I'm hoping to continue to bring Willow there for doggie day care and even longer boarding visits.”

“Brandon was great, treated Miles & Molly like his own, also sent daily communication and pictures, which made it much easier to relax and enjoy our vacation in the Dominican. Both dogs came home played out, in fact theyre still sleeping. We'll definitely use him again in 3 months, when we're thinking about traveling again.”


“Nikki is AMAZING and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a Rover sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure your fur children are safe, happy, and entertained while in her care. Quigley loves going to boarding or daycare with Nikki and her fur babies! Plus Quigley always comes back to me tired from all of the play and fun he has had! Can’t wait for our next stay with Nikki”

“Samantha and her family graciously opened their home to my fuzzy tornado with less than 24 hours' notice, and I came back to a very happy dog. I expected nothing less since Truffles adores his stays with Samantha and she's excellent about providing pictures of all their adventures.”

“Many thanks to Erica for her good work. She even dropped my dog off at our regular dog sitter. Erica provided coverage while our regular sitter who was out of town. I had to have surgery during this time and Erica really made things go smoothly.”

“Dawn was amazing to work with! She responds to communication quickly, is very friendly, and is a definite dog lover. She watched our 11 month old puppy and three year old dog in her home, and they had a blast! Dawn’s dog, Bailey, was sweet as can be and got along well with our dogs. Dawn sent us pictures while they were there and really loved on them. She opened her home to our dogs and made them feel right at home. I highly recommend Dawn and will use her again.”
