“Anna kept in good contact leading up to the drop-off, during the visit, and just before pick-up. Our grand-fur-baby was well-behaved according to Anna. A pleasant experience. Will keep her in mind for future services.”
“This was our first experience with Rover.com. We were so lucky we chose Annie S. as Laci's sitter! She left excellent communication (pictures and text) which was so appreciated after being away from our Shih tzu for eight days. Laci got so much attention and had such a great time! I felt as though she was treated with the same care she receives at home. I was extremely comfortable and at ease from the minute I met Annie. I highly recommend her for your animal's care. We will definitely use Annie again in the future.”
“Albina is a great sitter. Very responsive. She has a fenced in backyard and our lab loves playing with her lab in the backyard. She will keep you updated on your pet with pictures and videos. Her kids loved on my dog.”
“Sheila was truly amazing taking care of Layla! From the very beginning, she was kind, attentive, and treated Layla like her own. She sent photos and updates that kept my mind at ease while I was on vacation, which meant so much to me. Layla seemed super happy being with her, and it was clear she was well cared for the entire time. Sheila is reliable, communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I’m so grateful for her and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend!”
“Christal is so sweet. I can tell she really cares. She gave updates and was a great communicator. She took excellent care of our almost 16 year old beagle. I trust her to be our dog sitter when we leave town.”
“This was Scribble’s 1st time staying at someone’s house without us. We were nervous. Jessica was amazing with Scribble! She arranged for Scribble to have her own space until Scribble felt comfortable. She provided us with regular updates, pictures, & a video! This was a great experience for Scribble & these nervous fur-baby parents! Highly recommended!!”
“If it wasn't for Daniel, we would never be able to go on vacation as much as we have in the past couple years. Our boy absolutely loves Daniel and does so well while with him. We always appreciate how often Daniel will text us updates and photos, and we know without a doubt that our boy is well taken care of while we are away. In fact, I'm pretty sure he gets way more exercise while at Daniel's because we always hear about their frequent walks and meet ups with friendly neighbors! We cannot say enough good things about him.”
“Yevheniia did a great job watching our dog Foquito. She was very responsive and accommodating. Her communication was great and we appreciated the photos she sent of Foquito during his stay with her. We could tell he was having fun. She was also very attentive when he got a small cut on his paw, and we appreciate that she took time to clean it and put antiseptic. We plan to book with her again!”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“Second time booking with Lauren. This time our shy dog went right up to her door like it was her second home. Really appreciate how easy communication is with Lauren throughout the whole process.”
“Katherine was amazing with my dog! She kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time, and my pup clearly had a great time. You can tell she really loves dogs — mine was happy and totally comfortable when I got back. Everything was super easy and stress‑free. I’ll definitely be booking with Katheeine again!”
“They took care of my pup very well while we were out of town for a few days. They have such a cozy home that I know my furry friend absolutely loved! They took my dog on several walks and gave her such love and care. They were very pleasant people and I look forward to using them again soon”
“Tucker had the best weekend with Carolina and her sweet girls! They were so kind and welcoming, and the video updates throughout his time there were wonderful. She was wonderful!”
“Kris was wonderful with watching our dog while on vacation. Seems like our girl was right at home with Kris and she had a great time. She has a great property with ample room for them to run around and play. Highly recommend Kris for anyone looking for a comfortable place for their furry friend while away. Thank you, Kris!”
“Couldn’t be happier. Brittany came in and saved the day! Such an amazing sitter! Extremely communicative, caring, and made me feel so comfortable being away. My pup was so happy. I will 1000% be rebooking”
“Mara came highly recommended from a trusted friend and we weren’t disappointed! She took great care of our dog, kept us updated with how things were going, and he was good and tired from all the playtime he got. We will definitely use her again!!”
“Clayton is the best! Our 2 dogs love being boarded with him and always come home happy and exhausted from playing with other dogs. He sends great updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”

About: Tiger is my personal cat. I have shopped for her food, taken her to the vet, and fulfilled all her needs since I got her. I have her maintenance schedule to fill all her needs, cause no pets are low maintenance, it just means they aren't getting the care they need. Every four months her litter box gets deep clean, the box itself and scoop get washed. The litter box gets scooped twice a week. She also gets brushed twice a week, because not only does she enjoy it, but it reduces hairballs and promotes fur health (and less fur in the house!). I play with her a minimum of once a day, twice is the average though. She gets fed three times a day from wet food, and has a water fountain that gets a monthly deep clean. I do have experience giving her medication in her food along with her probiotic. Occasionally she goes for a leashed walk in the yard for extra stimulation. I have only cared for my own cat, but I am willing to go up and beyond for any cat.
“Hannah was amazing and came to our rescue last minute to drop in on our cats while we went out of town. She sent multiple pictures and even got our more timid cat to come out to say hi. She sent updates and was quick to respond to messages and updates with our travel plans. Soo thankful and felt so reassured knowing our cats were in good hands ?”
“Alison took care of my cat, Wolfgang, for 5 days while I was on a cruise in the Bahamas. Everything looked better than before I left. She cleaned out the old bits and pieces of dry food from his 3 cat treat bowls and the litter box was immaculate. I will definitely plan on using Alison again in the future.”
“While I was on my honeymoon, Justin did more than a phenomenal job. My husband and I have never used rover before and have a ton of cats (6 inside and 10+ strays we feed). Justin kept me up to date everyday with great photos, told me how they were doing and made sure they ate and we're fine without us haha. If I could ever only recommend one person, it would be Justin. He is absolutely fantastic and if you're looking for someone to take care of your animal while you are gone, Justin is your guy.”
“Jennifer did a great job house and cat sitting. I leave directions for sitters and she followed all directions perfectly. It takes a while for my cat to warm up to new people, and this stay was only several days, but my cat did start to come out before the stay ended, and seemed comfortable with Jennifer. Something that’s important for those of us with scaredy-cats. I’d definitely hire her again”
About: I've personally taken care of cats as long as I can remember, between my family members as well as my own cats! I currently have four rescue cats who have plenty of toys and treats in their own personal sunroom. Your cat will have the opportunity to play with other kitties, sunbathe, play with toys, and get treats.
About: My Boxer, Bailey, loves having friends over to play. Pet owner my entire life. I try to anticipate pet's needs and keep them busy and happy.

Our dog will remain outside if needed for the care of your pet. I have cared for hamsters and fish as well as dogs and cats. My family is allergic to cats, but I can check in on your cat in your home. I can walk your pet individually after they play with my dog. I can administer medications and have a separate sleeping area for your pets with or without a crate. My family and I are available to be with your pet in our home setting. Your pets will have a separate room with or without a crate during any short errands that I may need to run. My teenaged son will assist with the care of your pet/pets. Your pets will have individual attention during part of the day with walks on my quiet neighborhood circle. Feeding time will be individual as well. They will enjoy play with my dog during supervised play time in my fenced back yard.
“Thanks so much to Annie. Our sweet cat needed a safe, friendly place for a few days after a long flight, and Annie provides just that plus lots of love. She sent photos every day and info about how our little one was getting on. It gave us a lot of peace to know that our cat was so well cared for. We also appreciate her flexibility with a late arrival and late pickup!”
“We have just started using Jacquelyn as our sitter for daily visits and she is great!! The animals and us love her! I have two cats and two dogs and she is so great with all of them and I feel so good knowing my pets are being cared for during the day!”

About: Hi there! I am a loving, active dog sitter with years of experience caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes—from energetic little pups to gentle giants. Dogs aren't just pets for me; I love "working" with them, playing brain games, and practicing fun tricks to keep them happy and engaged. I have my own beloved 13-year-old female White Swiss Shepherd. Because my sweet senior lady is getting older, I'm not ready to bring a new dog permanently into my life just yet—but I have so much love to give, which is why I would love to help you out with yours! My Home & Routine: Always Supervised: I work from home, meaning your dog will have constant company, plenty of bathroom breaks, and endless attention. The Yard: I have a great garden for fresh air and stretching legs. Please note: It is currently unfenced, so I always supervise outdoor time and use long training leashes for safety. Special Care: Because of my experience with my own senior dog, I am completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication if your dog needs it. What I am looking for: Since I have kids, it is very important for me that your pup is fully comfortable and friendly with kids. I can't wait to treat your dog like a member of my own family! As a long-time Rover user, I know exactly what goes into providing excellent care. To give you peace of mind, I would be happy to meet you before you book! And! As a photographer, I also offer a mini-photoshoot for your dog—in addition to the regular updates and photos. I am always at home. Our children are at daycare during the day. But they are already looking forward to playing and cuddling with your dogs and my husband works from home. I have a garden, but no fence. Your dog is free to roam throughout the house. I will go for three walks: in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. If it is very warm at midday, I extend morning and evening walks so that your dog doesn't burn their paws. Our dog will be kept separate from yours.
About: We are a family in need of pets to love on. We love dogs and cats and have had pets our whole lives. We have 2 outdoor cats currently, but they generally keep to themselves. Our most recent dog, Waldo, is no longer with us and we would be happy to love on another’s pet! We are comfortable giving meds (oral) to pets. We have a large yard and live at the end of a cul-de-sac that does not have any through traffic. We also have installed automatic-closing doors to all our outside doors to ensure safety and little chance of a beloved pet escaping. We are flexible on animal type, breed and type as long as the pet is kid-friendly. We have children under 10 that have tons of energy and laps to snuggle. We look forward to helping with your pet soon! Two adults who work from home with flexible schedules. Kids will be at school during the day and on the weekends we are home to love on your pets and walk your dogs whenever needed. We don’t require crates and do allow pets to sleep with whoever they choose. We can accommodate most needs for your pet, including frequent walks and potty breaks. 2 adults work from home every day. On weekends, we are usually home with all kids to play with your pet. We can accommodate walks and frequent potty breaks. We have AirTags that we put on your dogs collar to ensure if your dog did get out, we would always know where they were. We have all doors on automatic closers and can gate our deck for more outside time when we are out there.
“Sheila was awesome with my dog Walter. She was very patient and eager to learn about him and his quirks. She was very patient and gave Walter time to acclimate to the environment slowly. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pup!!”
About: What sets me apart is the way I care for each dog as an individual, not just as a routine task. I grew up with dogs and have hands-on experience raising and caring for two of my own, so I understand their behavior, needs, and how to make them feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with puppies and know how important consistency, patience, and structure are at that stage. While I’m not a professional trainer, I follow owners’ routines closely and reinforce good habits, whether it’s basic commands, potty routines, or leash manners. I also pay close attention to each dog’s personality—whether they are energetic, shy, or need a calm environment—and adjust my care to match. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping owners updated so you always feel confident your dog is in good hands. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to follow your dog’s usual routine closely—feeding times, bathroom breaks, and any specific needs—without long gaps or rushing. Because I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t be left alone for extended periods and will have consistent care, supervision, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and secure environment where your dog can feel comfortable and relaxed. I carefully follow all instructions you provide—feeding schedules, medications, routines, and any special needs—so your pet’s care stays consistent. I’m attentive to behavior and surroundings at all times, whether we’re at home or on a walk, to ensure your dog stays safe. I don’t take unnecessary risks, avoid unsafe situations, and always prioritize your dog’s well-being. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and genuine care, just like my own.

“Before I booked with her for daycare, I could tell from her messages she was genuine and caring and wanted what was best for my puppy. I knew right then and there I wouldn’t regret booking with her, and I was right. She was attentive with my puppy throughout the day. She took him out for a walk, played with him, and ensured he got the exercise he needed. She was diligent with feeding him and attending to him, being mindful of his behaviors and actions to ensure he was good. She also sent updates regularly so we always knew how well he was doing. I am definitely booking her again.”

About: Loving and dependable dog walker with a big heart for furry friends and a true passion for what I do! I adore spending time with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, making sure each pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and tail-wagging fun while their humans are away.

“Alison came to our rescue with a last minute booking and she was great with both of my pups. One is very anxious and slow to warm up to people but warmed up to her really quick! Will definitely use her in the future :)”
About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover based on a 10-acre homestead in Pageland, SC. I specialize in structured, safe boarding with supervised outdoor time and secure indoor accommodations. We have a brand-new 6-foot wooden privacy fence enclosing our backyard, providing a secure area for dogs to exercise, stretch, and explore during supervised potty breaks and play sessions. Guests stay in our large climate-controlled sunroom outfitted with seven kennels, giving each dog their own secure space to rest comfortably between outdoor time, meals, and enrichment. Crate rotation and routine breaks are built into our daily schedule, ensuring dogs have consistency and predictability. Crate & House Access Policy • Crating is standard when we are away or sleeping, and during rest periods. • Potty breaks are offered approximately every 2 hours during waking hours. • For older, calm, fully house-trained, non-destructive, and cat-friendly dogs, free-roam house access may be considered on a case-by-case basis with owner request and compatibility assessment. • Dogs with separation anxiety, destructive tendencies, or unsafe habits (counter-surfing, door-bolting, etc.) will remain on our structured crate schedule for their safety. Experience & Approach I’ve owned and cared for everything from hedgehogs and geckos to chickens, horses, and working-breed dogs. I’m comfortable with: • Medication administration (oral or topical) • Senior dogs • Puppies & house-training stages • Reactive or shy personalities • High-energy dogs who require clear routines • Multi-dog coexistence and safe rotations My husband runs his own business and is home most of the time, ensuring someone is almost always present for supervision, potty break intervals, and routine care. I am home evenings and weekends, and we work together to provide structure, security, and consistent monitoring. What You Can Expect • Individual crate spaces (no shared kennels) • 6-ft fully fenced private yard • Consistent potty break schedule (≈ every 2 hours) • Supervised outdoor time only • Optional house freedom only if fully compatible • Daily updates, photos, and communication We focus on safe, predictable, and tailored care based on each dog’s needs and the comfort level of their owner. Whether a pup thrives with structured crate rest or enjoys calm, supervised sunroom naps, we tailor stays responsibly rather than one-size-fits-all. I work full-time as an insurance producer in Monroe, NC from 8–5, Monday through Friday. I’m home all day on weekends, and during the week, my husband is at our homestead full-time and helps provide care and supervision. Since we work as a team, your pets will never be left alone for long periods. I’m also available for morning or evening drop-ins and walks depending on location and schedule! We live on a peaceful 10-acre homestead. We do not allow free play with other pets - so you know that your furry friend is safe and sound the entire stay! They will have supervised playtime with other pups from the same household, or with just our staff! Our top priority is a safe stay.
About: I’ve been in the pet sitting business a year now. I’ve sat your neighbors, friends and family.

“Justin has been walking by pup three days per week for a couple of months now. He has been very dependable and has communicated well. I recommend him for your dog walking needs.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover, and caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy! I have a cat of my own, Archie, and a dog, Stella, who are completely spoiled, and I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their people are away. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, likes, and boundaries rather than treating every visit the same. Whether your pet wants to play, cuddle, go for a walk, or simply have someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I’m responsible, attentive, patient, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐶🐱💕 I have a flexible schedule and can plan my days around the needs of your pets. I’m happy to coordinate visits, walks, playtime, feeding, and other care around your pet’s normal routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, keep doors and gates secure, maintain their normal routines, and treat your home with respect. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and needs and will always communicate with you if anything seems unusual.
“Hannah was excellent with our animals. Whenever we had to make different accommodations she was very responsive and able to meet our needs. I will definitely be rebooking with Hannah as she took great care of our animals and they enjoyed her company as well.”
About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for pets, ranging from dogs and cats to small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, and farm animals like goats and chickens. My responsibilities have included: Daily Care: Feeding, providing fresh water, and administering medication as needed. Exercise & Enrichment: Walking dogs of various breeds and energy levels, engaging in interactive play, and ensuring mental stimulation for pets. Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste during walks, and keeping pet areas tidy. Special Needs: Caring for shy, senior, or reactive pets, tailoring my approach to meet their unique behavioral or medical needs. Communication: Keeping pet owners updated with regular photos and messages to provide peace of mind. Additionally, I have worked with pets that require extra patience or attention, such as rescue animals adjusting to new environments or pets with separation anxiety. My approach focuses on building trust and ensuring every animal feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐶🐱🐾 I am opening my own healing and end of life care practice, allowing me a somewhat flexible schedule. I usually am not gone more than 4-6 hours a day, and usually only a few days per week. I prefer to take care of pets in their own home and keeping to their usual routines. This gives your pets the most comfortable option while they get to know me.

Thank you and may God guide your spirit in Jesus name, amen!!! I always prioritize pets necessities and desires and have a job that allows me to work remotely while I take care of your pets at the same time!!! I also own a cat myself who I love and adore with all my soul lol. I would take your pet for a walk daily to ensure their built up energy is being used as well as give them special play time! However many times your animal takes to use the bathroom I will ensure happens and accommodate any preferences they have and are needed. I love to lay and cuddle with animals so if that’s something your pet loves, I’m all for it!

I follow instructions carefully and treat every pet like family.

“Anna kept in good contact leading up to the drop-off, during the visit, and just before pick-up. Our grand-fur-baby was well-behaved according to Anna. A pleasant experience. Will keep her in mind for future services.”
“Albina is a great sitter. Very responsive. She has a fenced in backyard and our lab loves playing with her lab in the backyard. She will keep you updated on your pet with pictures and videos. Her kids loved on my dog.”
“This was Scribble’s 1st time staying at someone’s house without us. We were nervous. Jessica was amazing with Scribble! She arranged for Scribble to have her own space until Scribble felt comfortable. She provided us with regular updates, pictures, & a video! This was a great experience for Scribble & these nervous fur-baby parents! Highly recommended!!”
“If it wasn't for Daniel, we would never be able to go on vacation as much as we have in the past couple years. Our boy absolutely loves Daniel and does so well while with him. We always appreciate how often Daniel will text us updates and photos, and we know without a doubt that our boy is well taken care of while we are away. In fact, I'm pretty sure he gets way more exercise while at Daniel's because we always hear about their frequent walks and meet ups with friendly neighbors! We cannot say enough good things about him.”
“Yevheniia did a great job watching our dog Foquito. She was very responsive and accommodating. Her communication was great and we appreciated the photos she sent of Foquito during his stay with her. We could tell he was having fun. She was also very attentive when he got a small cut on his paw, and we appreciate that she took time to clean it and put antiseptic. We plan to book with her again!”
“Our two bulldogs had a wonderful stay with Matthew and his family. We received excellent communication, daily photos and knew are pups were being treated with attentive care including lots of walks and play time. We would definitely use Matthew again for pet-sitting services. Thank you so much!”
“They took care of my pup very well while we were out of town for a few days. They have such a cozy home that I know my furry friend absolutely loved! They took my dog on several walks and gave her such love and care. They were very pleasant people and I look forward to using them again soon”
“Tucker had the best weekend with Carolina and her sweet girls! They were so kind and welcoming, and the video updates throughout his time there were wonderful. She was wonderful!”
“Kris was wonderful with watching our dog while on vacation. Seems like our girl was right at home with Kris and she had a great time. She has a great property with ample room for them to run around and play. Highly recommend Kris for anyone looking for a comfortable place for their furry friend while away. Thank you, Kris!”
“Mara came highly recommended from a trusted friend and we weren’t disappointed! She took great care of our dog, kept us updated with how things were going, and he was good and tired from all the playtime he got. We will definitely use her again!!”
“Clayton is the best! Our 2 dogs love being boarded with him and always come home happy and exhausted from playing with other dogs. He sends great updates and pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Cece is the most amazing dog sitter, and we’re so happy we found her! She was incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and very sweet. Mila seemed so comfortable and happy in her home, and I loved receiving all the updates and pictures while we were away! It was so clear that Mila was getting all the love, attention, and care she deserves while we were on vacation for five days. Knowing she was happy and in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Cece with Mila again. I highly recommend her!”
“Tina was absolutely fabulous with our sweet Duchess! When we picked Duchess up it was like Duchess had spent the weekend with a lifelong friend as they connected so quickly. Tina’s communication, friendliness, and professionalism makes her an excellent choice for caring for your fur babies while you’re out of town.”
“Brenda and Hannah had their hands full with Princess. It was her first time away and so many aspects of her stay were firsts. Princess was treated like a queen and was so very taken care of even with the anxiety from the fireworks on the 4th. Brenda was sensitive to my anxious heart as well knowing that she had never been anywhere without me and I was a tearful fur parent when I left. I highly recommend Brenda to anyone that wants to have amazing care while being apart for both their fur baby as well as themselves. Princess will definitely be back 😊”
About: What sets me apart is the deep, lifelong connection I’ve had with dogs. I’ve personally raised three pups from just six weeks old all the way through their senior years. Each one grew into a loving, obedient, and well-mannered companion, and I’ve been through every stage of life with them—from puppy energy to senior snuggles. That experience has given me a strong understanding of how to care for dogs at any age, whether it’s gentle patience with a new pup or extra comfort and support for older dogs. This is a truly dog-friendly home where your pet will feel like family. I have three kind and respectful kids who absolutely adore dogs and are always excited to welcome new furry friends into our home. Whether your pup loves to play, nap, or just follow someone around all day, there’s a warm spot (and probably a willing lap) waiting for them here. I don’t just watch dogs—I care for them as if they were my own. 🐾 Hi! I’m a school social worker with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg School District, and caring for others—whether it’s students or furry friends—has always been second nature to me. I’ve had a dog in my life since I was a teenager, and I truly believe dogs are one of the most perfect, loving animals on this earth. 💛 Over the years, I’ve trained dogs to go potty outside, sit, stay, lay down, heel on walks, and even speak when it’s treat time (a favorite trick in our house!). I’ve also raised multiple dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable with dogs at all life stages and energy levels. This is a dog-loving home, through and through. I have three kids who are gentle, kind, and absolutely adore dogs. There’s always a cozy corner, a warm cuddle, and plenty of love waiting for your pup here. Whether they want to play, nap, go on walks, or just soak up some attention, your dog will be treated like one of the family I do not have a fence in yard but it is partially fenced in. I do have a dog lead and I will always be outside
“Wynde was an absolute joy to work with. She welcomed our anxious girl with open arms and made her feel so comfortable. Wynde sent pictures daily and updated us on things Rosie did with them. I would absolutely book with her again!”
