“Extremely sweet and helpful. Our first time letting someone other than family watch our dog and she made it comfortable for us. If we ever need this service again, we will for sure be looking for her again!”
“This was my first time leaving Lulu with anyone other than friends or family, since adopting her 2+ years ago. I was extremelyyyy nervous about leaving her, but Kathy sent daily texts and photos to put my mind at ease. She even let us pick up Lulu on the last day at 10PM, and greeted me with chocolate! Who doesn't love that? My first DogVacay experience was a great one, and we will definitely be using Kathy again!”
“I’ve come to Karen time and time again to watch my boy Bruce, she’s very flexible and understanding. She doesn’t an OUTSTANDING job with Bruce and I will continue to use her. If you’re having any doubts, don’t!”
“Donald does a great job picking Duke up, watching him at his home and bringing Duke back home. He communicates daily with pictures and texts. Duke is always happy and well following his stays. Donald is our go to dog sitter and we highly recommend him.”
“Our boys were well taken care of and loved on at Ginia’s home for a full week! She sent daily pictures and kept us up-to-date with their daily activities. It was such a relief to know they were being treated like family. I highly recommend Ginia !”
“Alison and Richard are awesome! So accommodating and flexible with drop off and pick up. They have a beautiful home with lots of room for the dogs to run. Highly recommend!”
“We had a sitter lined up that cancelled last minute and Charles stepped up to help. He responded quickly to my request and was easy to communicate with. I could tell within a few minutes of meeting him that my pup was in good hands and was going to be well cared for. Charles took the best care of my dog. Charles is very nice, caring and friendly.”
“Rachel is AMAZING!! This was my first time boarding my pups (one with anxiety) and using Rover. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 11/10 experience! We did a meet and greet ahead of time, which was super helpful. She has a wonderful setup! A nice, large, fenced-in yard for them to run around and play. The upper deck is perfect for my pups looking out over the yard and resting in the sun. Rachel is a fantastic communicator sending multiple updates, pics and videos throughout the day. With my permission, the dogs were allowed on the couch and provided lots of cuddles and she even slept in the spare room with them (just like home). For my pup with anxiety, she moved slow and gave her time to adjust and settle. My babies got all the play, love and attention they are used to (plus a little more) 😊😊 Also, Rachel was very flexible with me for drop-off and pickup as we were going out of town. My heart is so full knowing my babies were so well cared for! Thank you Rachel!!!”
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
“Gunner only stayed for a few days but I can tell he was well taken care of. Deborah is very knowledgeable about dogs and training so I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her. I'd definitely recommend her and her husband to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own currently one is 8 and one is 10. I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. i work 5 days a week less than 40 hours and i’m taking care of animals when im on and off the clock so it seems fitting to become a sitter and walker:) I live in a home with an unfenced 2 acre yard. we have a runner in case the dog isn’t leash or off leash trained.
“Although I had to cancel, I was so impressed by Michelle’s wonderful personality and love for dogs that I will most definitely call on her in the event that I will need a boarding facility for my beloved Binky in the future.”
“Cosmo had a few of his happiest days with Jessica, Doug and their family. He bonded with their pups and got to play chase and football on their spacious property. He’s already asking to hang out with Sky and George, their two pups, again! Jessica and Doug went out of their way to keep me updated with pictures. I felt at ease the whole time.”
“Amy is a very nice and approachable person and really knows her stuff when it comes to dogs I must say, having lots of them at home herself. I was very pleased with the care she puts towards axle. I would really recommend her if you’re going on vacation to leave your pups in her care, you won’t regret it promise. Every time I texted her to check on my pup she answer almost immediately and told me everything was fine. 5 stars for her and thanks Amy for your work.”
“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”
“We love Kim! She gives our crazy beagle boy, Rudy, lots of love and attention. Always willing to work with us on bookings and is very quick to respond. Thank you, Kim!”

“Cassidy was so friendly and helpful while we were out of town! Our pop-ins weren’t particularly exciting since our cats won’t come out for strangers, but she ensured that they were well fed and watered and her communication was exceptional. Thanks Cassidy!”
“Stephanie was prompt and able to cover us on last minute notice. She took care of our two cats, fed them and replenished their water, and did their litter daily (more than we had asked her to do). Appreciated her help and quick communication.”
“Luca was the best sitter we’ve hired! The cats were well taken care of and it looked like they got a lot of snuggles. We came back to a clean house and happy kitties! The communication was prompt and all of my extensive directions were followed to a T! If you’re looking for a sitter who truly cares hire Luca! 😊”
About: Hi! I am Alanie, I hope to meet you and your (fur) baby soon! Here is a little more about me: I have owned animals my entire life. While I am partial to dogs, I am my friend's cat's favorite auntie. To know more about me as someone providing care for your pet, it is important that you know about mine! Athena (also answers to Wiggle Butt, Feenie Weenie, and Miss Afeenz) is my ultimate side-kick. She is truly the highlight of my day and I treat her as family (because she is!). Through having Athena, I know the love of a pet parent. There is nothing I would not do to make sure she is safe, happy, and healthy. I do not trust her with just anyone, therefore I completely understand the trust and bravery it takes allowing someone else to care for your (fur) baby. Your pets will be treated with the same love and care that I give my own Athena, because that is what I would want from anyone watching her. <3 Aside from caring for Athena, I have cared for several dogs (and cats alike!) for overnight care when parents are out of town, daily walks, feeding schedules, and plenty of pets and playtime. I have experience supporting the puppy training process and am happy to care for puppers and kittens alike. I currently work 8-5pm, however, can provide potty breaks and play time with flexibility throughout the day. Additionally, I am happy to provide early morning walks, evening walks, and overnight stays to ensure your family member can relax at home while you're away. Please note, I am only able to accept weekday bookings for dogs that can be left unattended for at least 4 hours at a time. Throughout the weekend, I am more flexible and can be present with your fur baby and all their needs. My services would be best suited for someone who works overnights or odd schedules that want extra support at home through serving kibble dinner, evening strolls, play time and belly rubs, as well as overnight stays. I am also able to provide weekend care. Planning a beach trip this summer? Don't worry about your furry friends. I am happy to provide overnight care as long as your baby can stay home throughout the day for at least 4 hours without a potty break. If you have any questions about whether your needs would be a good fit with my availability, please feel free to message me. At this time, I am offering care in the pet's home environment. This is easiest for both myself and your fury friend - there's no place like home! I am happy to keep your pet's daily/weekly schedule as closely followed as possible. Walks around the neighborhood? Let's go. Fenced in yard for ample ball time? Happy to do so! If your pet is typically crated throughout the day, I can also assist with this. I am also used to and happy to allow your pet to free roam with as much (or as little) supervision as they are used to having when Mom and Dad are home. I can also provide light routine grooming (brushing, etc) depending on your pet's needs while you're away. I am also happy to provide other typical daily needs (feeding, providing medication, etc). Just let me know how best to serve your pet in their environment and we can make it happen. They won't even notice you're not home! (just kidding).
About: I've taken care of my own two chihuahua for over 10 years. Always made sure they fed well and treated right. We enjoy time walking around parks and town. I'm part time in college student and employed and I have plenty of time in my hand. What do i enjoy doing in my spare time more than a nice walking during my fav season Fall with the windy breeze on a sunny day. I make sure dogs don't get into fights or start barking at other pets near them by picking them up or going a different direction. I will be taking pictures of the dog to the owner to insure trust and loyalty.
About: What sets me apart as a cat sitter is my understanding that every cat has a unique personality and comfort level. I’m a cat owner myself and currently care for two cats with very different needs—one is energetic, playful, and vocal, while the other is shy and prefers quiet, low-stimulation spaces. Because of this, I’m very attentive to reading body language and letting cats interact on their own terms. I prioritize creating a calm, stress-free environment and never force attention. Whether a cat wants playtime, companionship, or simply someone nearby while they nap, I adapt my care to what makes them feel safest and most comfortable. I’m very consistent with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and general tidiness. I understand how important a clean litter box is for a cat’s health and happiness, and I take pride in keeping litter areas fresh and odor-free. I also pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, or litter habits and communicate any concerns right away. Because I work remotely, I’m able to check in frequently and provide steady, reliable care throughout the day. My goal is always to make cats feel relaxed, respected, and cared for—just like they would at home.
“Skylar did a wonderful job with our cat when we were traveling. She’s very punctual and neat. Our cat loves her. She’s so sweet, she found a lot of packages on our doorstep so she brought them in. Very trustworthy and we will definitely book the drop in visits with her again”

About: I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them! With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.) We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.

About: Because I work remotely, pets are rarely left alone for long periods of time. I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and energy levels... from a senior dog who became blind and deaf, which taught me patience and gentle, consistent care, to my current puppy, where I focus on training, routine, exercise, and positive reinforcement for high-energy needs. I also have two cats with very different personalities, so I am very attentive to body language and always respect each pet’s comfort level, allowing them to warm up at their own pace. I work remotely and am home throughout the day. This allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, regular walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship without dogs being left alone for long periods. My mornings usually start with feeding and a walk or outdoor time. Throughout the day, I schedule additional walks, play sessions, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I’m home, I can easily adjust my schedule for puppies, senior dogs, or dogs who need extra attention or routine. I make sure routines stay consistent from day to day so dogs feel comfortable, secure, and at home. Dog care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s part of my everyday life. My goal is always to provide a safe, attentive, and loving environment where dogs feel happy and well cared for. I take safety, trust, and comfort very seriously and always care for pets as if they were my own. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine while providing a calm, secure environment. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended for long periods of time. Because I work remotely, I’m able to be present throughout the day to monitor behavior, provide regular potty breaks, walks, and attention, and ensure pets are comfortable and relaxed. I keep my space clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards, and I’m careful to follow any household rules provided by owners. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions closely. I make sure doors and gates are secure, food and medications are given as directed, and pets receive the level of interaction and exercise they’re used to. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and communicate updates promptly. My goal is always to create a safe, low-stress environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.
“I came up to North Carolina to spend the summer in the cooler weather. Being by myself with a senior dog meant that I would have to constantly care for him. I decided to look for somebody that I could trust that was loving and caring and had dog whisperer vibes, especially when it comes to senior dogs. I am lucky to have met Jenny. From the moment of our meet and greet , Shemp , who is usually a high anxiety dog was calm and happy. She updated me with pictures, walked him and gave me the peace of mind to know that my dog will be well cared for, which he was. I will definitely be using Jenny again and would recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect person to care for their pets.”
About: I have been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, giving me about 20 years of experience. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after pets of all sizes and temperaments. I am confident with playful puppies, calm senior pets, and even shy or anxious animals. My goal is always to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. Daily walks, playtime, and feeding can easily be adjusted around my routine, so your pets always get the attention they need. Whether mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I am available to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry family members I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure to follow the owner’s instructions carefully and treat every pet as if they were my own. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I give them plenty of love, supervision, and attention during their stay
About: I have had, rescued, and taken care of a wide variety of dogs from smaller malti-poos to a Dane who had been living on the street, was skin and bones, and ended up 188 lbs. Currently I have Pippa, a 7-year-old Labrador who is allergic to chicken, so I make part of her food. I am home most of the time, except when I host overly-complex board games at the Hickory Library or the Highland Rec Center -- and those sessions are at most 3 hours long. I am home most days, except when I am hosting 3-hour board games at the local library and rec center. Otherwise, I take care of our house and rental properties. I have a large fenced yard -- especially-so since my house sits along North Center Street. I also use carabiners to make sure that gates are locked.

About: I have nearly 10 years of experience with dogs. For the last 4 years I have been running my own business where I breed health tested and titled AKC Labrador Retrievers. All of my dogs live in my home. They are our “kids” and our entire world revolves around them. Prior to this I managed 2 different boarding/daycare/training facilities, one in Wilmington NC and one in Catawba NC. Due to this experience, I have learned so much about dog behavior, training, proper structure within a household and/or pack of dogs, etc. I take pride in how well behaved my own dogs are as well as how they are able to co-exist with all dogs. My entire life revolves around my dogs and any dogs that stay with us. I am home 24/7 with the occasional hour or two of running errands so you wouldn’t have to worry about your pup(s) being left for hours on end. I always make sure your dog(s) energy/training needs are met - mentally and physically. I also (as long as approved by the you/the owner) am happy to allow play time with our dogs under my supervision! We do require your dog(s) to be up to date on parvo and rabies vaccines or titer testing. We thoroughly clean crates/floors/toys every day to ensure we are keeping a sanitary and sickness free environment.
“Laura watched our 3 year old Golden Retriever for a couple hours while we were dropping our kids off at a nearby camp. She was very kind and responsive and took great care of him! Thank you!”
“Katherine was great. As a first time dog-mom, she put all my fears at ease by answering any questions I had and my pup had a great time! Will definitely be using Katherine in the future.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's part of my daily life. My family homestead is home to dogs, cats, and a thriving garden, so providing attentive, compassionate care comes naturally to me. When your pet stays with me, they become part of the family. Unlike traditional kennels, pets enjoy a comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I have a large fenced area for safe outdoor time and exercise, as well as multiple levels within my home that allow me to accommodate different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether your pet loves to socialize or prefers a quieter space to relax, I can create an environment where they feel comfortable and secure. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and quirks so their stay feels as close to home as possible. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and communication throughout your pet's stay because I know how important peace of mind is when you're away. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and treated like one of my own. I'm a teacher currently home for the summer, spending my days building our family homestead. Caring for animals is already woven into my daily routine, from tending to our dogs and cats, to working in the garden and enjoying life outdoors. Because I'm home and actively caring for my own animals throughout the day, welcoming boarding pets into my home feels like a natural extension of the life I'm already living. I have a fenced yard, lots of room indoors, and multiple levels to give pets the quiet or fun they desire. I have routines to care for our animals and will be glad to follow whatever your pet is used to!

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for about 5 years, starting with walking neighborhood dogs and growing into house sitting and boarding. I’ve also had dogs my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me.

I always follow your instructions closely, stick to your pet’s routine, and provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

And they get my undivided attention they need I love working and spending time with your babies.

About: Senior care and med management are two things that I am very good at! I have 6 animals of my own that I adore very much! Every day I take care of my animals (cats, and dogs) I am available whenever and wherever I am needed! Always willing to help! In home services, walking, always safety first. Always treating animals as if they were my own pet! Very good at diagnosing the animal, whether high energy, or not!
About: I have been taking care of my family & friends pets check up on my neighbors pets when they go out of vacation. I love animals I believe you’re pet deserves the very best care! I am currently working a full-time job! However, due to the field of job I am in. I have lots of free time to check up on pets! For potty breaks, lunch time and I am free after work for entire night I care for pets in my home by always offering, cuddles and playtime and naps never having to feel alone. I will care for them as if they were my own.
About: My mom got me my first dog when I was 10 years old, and it was from then on that I promised to take care of him the best way I knew how. I have experience administering medication (in pill form, liquid, and gel) to both dogs and cats, even when they don’t want to take it. I have also personally trained my dog to sit, lie down, high five, and on accident, I taught him to get up on his hind legs and beg with his front paws. If there is any special care that your animal needs, I would be more than happy to quickly and efficiently learn and adapt to care for your animal the way they deserve. I am currently job searching, so I will be free almost every weekday with exception for surprise obligations that my family often come to me with. I am not available on the weekends, including friday for various extraneous responsibilities. When I first meet an animal, I get down to their level and extend my hand just enough to offer it as an option for them to investigate, but not enough to shove it it their face. I wait until the dog or cat engages with me before I try to pet them on my own to ensure that they feel comfortable and safe. If your animal has separation anxiety, I would be more than happy to comfort them with calming words and gentle hands for pets and snuggles. I will only feed or give your animal a treat if I am told to do so or given the okay beforehand as I do not want to over feed them or give them a treat you have bought without consent.
About: I have always had a dog in my house growing up. From big dogs to little dogs, I can take them on walks, feed them, play with them, and give them all the love that they could possibly want. I am a teacher and currently have my summer off. I can stop by any time you need me. I prefer to come by during the day but will stop by any other time if needed. I will treat your pet as one of my own. Let me know of any requirements your pet may need and I will do my best to meet them.

“Denise was wonderful! Very responsive when I needed a dog walker for my sweet fur baby last minute. She communicated with me so well and provided photos/updates. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since i could walk and doing so is a huge passion of mine. I love walking, running, playing, cuddling with my Dog and i can’t wait to meet yours! I am athletic, energetic, and therefore love going out on walks, runs. I’m dependable and honest, it’s only fair to allow people you can rely on around someone as important as a pet, especially into the privacy of your own home. I assure you great service and promise to treat others’ pets as if they were my very own. This is a huge responsibility which i know requires attentiveness. No Dog is too big, too small or too strong, As your walker will do my part while they are in my care. I look forward to meeting him or her! I am currently working from home! More than happy to keep your babies company. I like to be as accommodating as i can. At the end of the day, They are ALWAYS the priority. I have a designated park for dogs on the side of my building but I will ensure your dog is on leash always to ensure safety. Upon request, I have socialized and trained numerous dogs- I am more than happy to bring both or one of my dogs on walks or to the park. I also can have my dogs separated, Crated or off site if needed.

“Donald does a great job picking Duke up, watching him at his home and bringing Duke back home. He communicates daily with pictures and texts. Duke is always happy and well following his stays. Donald is our go to dog sitter and we highly recommend him.”
“Our boys were well taken care of and loved on at Ginia’s home for a full week! She sent daily pictures and kept us up-to-date with their daily activities. It was such a relief to know they were being treated like family. I highly recommend Ginia !”
“Alison and Richard are awesome! So accommodating and flexible with drop off and pick up. They have a beautiful home with lots of room for the dogs to run. Highly recommend!”
“We had a sitter lined up that cancelled last minute and Charles stepped up to help. He responded quickly to my request and was easy to communicate with. I could tell within a few minutes of meeting him that my pup was in good hands and was going to be well cared for. Charles took the best care of my dog. Charles is very nice, caring and friendly.”
“Rachel is AMAZING!! This was my first time boarding my pups (one with anxiety) and using Rover. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 11/10 experience! We did a meet and greet ahead of time, which was super helpful. She has a wonderful setup! A nice, large, fenced-in yard for them to run around and play. The upper deck is perfect for my pups looking out over the yard and resting in the sun. Rachel is a fantastic communicator sending multiple updates, pics and videos throughout the day. With my permission, the dogs were allowed on the couch and provided lots of cuddles and she even slept in the spare room with them (just like home). For my pup with anxiety, she moved slow and gave her time to adjust and settle. My babies got all the play, love and attention they are used to (plus a little more) 😊😊 Also, Rachel was very flexible with me for drop-off and pickup as we were going out of town. My heart is so full knowing my babies were so well cared for! Thank you Rachel!!!”
“Samantha did a great job boarding and caring for our Labrador Lizzie (8 years old and walks on 3 legs) while we were on vacation. We received pictures each day of Lizzie and she appeared to always be having a good time. I fully trust Samantha with our Lab and I'm definite we will be using her services again in the near future. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Samantha a 15+... Her communication was great and I always felt Lizzie was well cared for and in safe hands.”
“Gunner only stayed for a few days but I can tell he was well taken care of. Deborah is very knowledgeable about dogs and training so I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her. I'd definitely recommend her and her husband to anyone needing a dog sitter!”
About: I have 2 dogs of my own currently one is 8 and one is 10. I currently work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility. i work 5 days a week less than 40 hours and i’m taking care of animals when im on and off the clock so it seems fitting to become a sitter and walker:) I live in a home with an unfenced 2 acre yard. we have a runner in case the dog isn’t leash or off leash trained.
“Cosmo had a few of his happiest days with Jessica, Doug and their family. He bonded with their pups and got to play chase and football on their spacious property. He’s already asking to hang out with Sky and George, their two pups, again! Jessica and Doug went out of their way to keep me updated with pictures. I felt at ease the whole time.”
“Ann is wonderful! She sent us daily photos and updates on how our dogs were doing. They had a blast in the doggy pool, made a new friend, and she even let our puppy try sleeping in the bed and it went really well! We will be using Ann in the future.”
“Sarah & Erik were fantastic with our golden retriever! There was amazing communication and picture updates, which were very appreciated as rhis was his first time staying overnight at someone's home rather than a boarding facility. He came back so happy, sweet, and well cared for. Thank you for everything, we will definitrly be booking again in the future!”
“Jessica was the best Rover experience that I ever had. She treated my dog so well and made her feel like home. She provided me with consistent updates and pictures and my sweet Jewel was beyond happy.”
“Brooke and her family were great! They took such great care of Kingsley! They made him part of the family and he enjoyed every minute. I would definitely leave Kingsley with her anytime.”
“Absolutely 5 star service with Megan! She sent me daily photos and updates of my fur baby, giving me peace of mind and allowing me to focus on my work while I was out of town. I will most definitely book with her again and highly recommend you do as well!”
“Michael was very easy to schedule with. I am so happy he was available for a last minute trip. I particularly wanted him to watch my pup as he works from home (as I do) which allowed Libbie to feel love and attention at all times. Yes, we all like to spoil our pups!! I have already scheduled my next trip with him as I know she will be well taken care of, exercise is awesome with her own playmate. When I picked her up she was happy and well cared for.”
“Scarlett was great! Our Stella couldn't have been in better hands. Just enough pictures to keep us in touch and good updates to reassure us. Will definitely use again. Thank you!!!”
“I’m so glad I found Laura! We recently moved from out of state and so needed to start over with a trusted dog sitter for our 2 littles. They had been with the same sitter for several years so this would be a big change for them. Laura immediately set me at ease with her immaculate home and her calm manner. While Luna and Ruby were in high alert with the new house, they settled in quickly. Laura sent many updates and pics which was reassuring. We are confident we have found our new permanent sitter! Thank you, Laura for taking good care of our girls!”
