“Taylor was absolutely amazing. She updated us with pictures and was soooooo accommodating. If you care about your fur baby as much as we do, know they will be in the best of hands with Taylor!”
“Heather and her family were great! 😊 They always kept me updated about my dog and were very accommodating and professional. We left our dog for 18 days, and I was never worried even once because I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care. You can really tell how much they genuinely cared for and loved our dog while we were away. Our dog was happy, healthy, and very well taken care of. Will definitely come back!”
“Becky was great. She accepted the booking quickly and communicated well throughout. The photos showed a group of very happy dogs - these are some of my favorite photos of my little guy. My dog can't bear to be left alone and is a sweet but insistent snuggler. He also gets the zoomies when he is nervous. She welcomed him with open arms and settled him quickly. She was sorry to see him leave, but he will definitely be back!”
“Christina took such wonderful care of Milo and Ellie while we were away. She kept us at ease with regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear they were in great hands the entire time. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust Christina again and highly recommend her”
“Andrea was excellent! Super responsive from the start and continued throughout the stay. Lots of pictures and updates as well. Her house was clean and very comfortable for pups. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Katie was great watching our Portuguese Water Dog. It was very easy to set up a drop-off time and work out the details with her prior. She kept us updated with pictures and our puppy came back well exercised and happy.”
“Sadie and her husband took great care of our dog, Millie! She sent me many pictures of Millie making herself right at home in their home! Even texted me to ask if she could take her to the dog park. Millie loved her pups as well and we'll definitely be using Sadie again if we go away!”
“I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with Janelle and Bob! They are so caring and loving! They have a great set up with a fenced in backyard! I know that my dog is safe and well cared for when I'm away. I would highly recommend them to care for your fur babies!”
“We felt relieved knowing our doodles were with Collette. We originally brought them on our camping trip to see our niece graduate, but underestimated just how much we’d have to leave them alone in the camper - no bueno! The doodles were happy and healthy when we picked them up.”
“Nicole was amazing! She sent me messages and pictures of my Riley everyday. This was my puppers first time away from home and was anxious. However, Nicole was able to calm her and she was fine, which calmed my worries. I will definitely be asking her to watch my girl again.”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Michelle was great! We dropped our pup off with her for a wedding night sleepover and before we knew it he was running around playing and didn’t even care that we left. She loves dogs and treated ours as if he was her own (feeding, walks, playtime, safety). She would’ve taken him to the beach the next morning but we had to pick him up early and drive back to NYC. We would 100% recommend her when you’re in the Kittery/Portsmouth area!”
“Jeanne was great. We were away for almost two weeks. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures of Roxy playing. It was very comforting to see she was enjoying herself!”
“Kira had an excellent time staying with Julie! I got photo updates to see her playing with her new dog friends and cuddles on the couch. I think she liked staying with Julie much more than the kennel!”
“Noreen and her family so excellent with our family oriented dog Ellie. She was made to feel like she had a second family while we were away. Would be hard pressed to find a better caretaker than Noreen and her family.”

“Olivia was fantastic. She was attentive and gave good feedback about our older cat’s daily activity. She was on time and there when she said she would be. I definitely will ask for her to care for our cat again in the future. Many thanks.”
“Donna and Kim are by far the nicest people you could have in your home to take care of your fur babies. They are dependable, caring, and flexible if you need them to be. Thanks to you both, I appreciate you!”
“Amanda has been great with my dog Archie. He has some anxiety and reactivity and she’s handled it all so well. She’s always responded quickly and taken lots of photos during her visits which is so nice since I work out of town.”
“Alex is very reliable and has exceptional communication skills. I definitely felt peace-of-mind relying on her to care for my cats while away. I would use her services again. Thanks Alex!!”
“Per usual Shauni and Connor were amazing. They took very good care of our kitties and I did not have to worry at all about them when we were gone. I always go back to them because they are reliable and so kind.”
About: Not only do I have immense veterinary care experience, I also worked at a cat only clinic for 3 years. I just love kitties and understand their uniqueness! Nail trim can be added. Litter box scoop each day. Photo sent to you every visit of your pet(s)
About: Animal lover with a passion for caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Reliable, patient, and attentive, with a focus on keeping pets safe, active, and happy on every walk. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to cuddle and take care of your pets! My availability is wide open! Limited weekend hours. My home isn't pet friendly as my cats don't like friends. So any pet watching would have to be at your house or outside or another location.
“We felt so at ease having Marion take care of our cat, Norman, when we were out of town! She is an animal lover and took great care of Norman while we were gone. We 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter!”
“Paul was an excellent sitter. He made sure George, my cat, was happy, comfortable, and enjoying himself. Throughout his stay, Paul kept us well-informed with regular updates and was always quick to respond. The best part was the photos of George throughout the day, which were a great way to stay updated. I would highly recommend Paul as a sitter—I can’t stress it enough. He was truly great!”
“We've had our cats 10 years. Until now I was reluctant to leave them for more than 1-2 nights max. The only time we'd left them for a week was when a close friend stayed with them. I'd heard of Rover but wasn't sure what I'd get, maybe someone who could feed my cats and fix my TV, giving both the same care and empathy. Not so with Dawn. Dawn understands people and their pets! I received daily communications, knowing when she was there and how things went. Our boys are quite shy, but they warmed up to Dawn, which goes a long way with me. I could go on, but don't want to put anyone to sleep. Suffice to say that I will definitely have her look after our boys in the future, should need arise.”
“Betsy is a delight, from her caring nature to her comforting responsiveness, reliability and more. Our shy kitty cat Sayde took very little time before she was snuggling up to Betsy, which came across in the many photos that Betsy sent our way. Betsy has our strong recommendation, and we look forward to again using her valued services!”
About: I've owned cats all of my life and don't plan on that changing anytime soon. I'm a Pre-Veterinary student at University of New Hampshire. I currently work as a veterinary nurse at a local clinic and have gained cat handling experience from this job (as well as from my kitties at home!) I have a Fear Free Certification and ensure that the animal is being taken care of in a manner that reduces fear, anxiety, and stress.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs (and pets in general) since I was around 12 years old. I started by watching my neighbors dogs and moved on from there. I am now a certified dog groomer and want to continue pet sitting as well! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to schedule pet sitting, play and such. I also do my dog grooming on the side for right now. I have a partially fenced yard, and no other pets so my home is friendly to dogs who don’t like other animals, and a very spacious yard
“We are REPEAT customers of Amanda after she took fabulous care of 2 special needs Great Danes for us last year, last minute. She came through again for our 2 kitties, and again rather short notice. She’s very responsive to our requests and puts you (and our animals!) at ease every time. I want my review to reflect how awesome she is!”
About: I have a life time of experience. I grew up helping my mom take care of peoples animals. Farm animals, birds, dogs, cats. A special skill of mine is training dogs.

“Becky is as close to perfect as one can get. She is thoughtful, caring, happy and reliable. Seriously do not know what we’d do without her to care for our very shy doggie - who can get into trouble now and then and she goes out of her way to help when we need, Thank you Becky 💛💛💛 Nothing but respect!”
“My 2 dogs had a meet & greet with Nicole before spending the day at her home. There was a nice fenced in area and other dogs to play with. When I dropped them off for the day, they didn't even look back. She was kind enough to send photos during the day and let me know they were doing fine. I picked them up that evening - they were happy and tired!”
“Julie helped me out last minute watching my puppy with less than 24 hours notice. She welcomed me into her home and showed me around. She asked about what treats were okay, which was really appreciated since Theo is only 4 months. She sent me a ton of pictures that showed how welcome and happy my puppy was to be with her. He had a great time and I know he'd be happy to return.”
“I’m so grateful I found Karen to watch my puppy Wesley while I’m away for a work trip! She’s very kind and flexible. Wesley had a trial run today before I leave on my trip. I feel relieved to know my fur baby will be in good hands. Thank you Karen!!!”
About: 🔆Hi! You can call me Jordan! I’m a lifelong animal lover with 12 years of hands-on experience caring for both 🐶 and 🐱 I raised my own rescued dog and cat from just 1 month old and they’re now happy, healthy seniors — so I truly understand the patience, consistency, and love pets need at every stage of life. They’ve moved with me through five cities and three countries. I’ve never given up on them through any stage of my life. 👩🍳 I enjoy cooking nutritious and balanced meals for animals (sometimes for myself ) I love all animals and will learn more knowledge if you need cares for all kinds of pets (chickens, ducks, birds, pigs, etc) 💻 I have been working from home for over 6 years so I will be available everyday! Do not hesitate to contact me on any holidays. Available 7 days a week including all holidays🫡 I will strictly follow all instructions and offer detailed services for them. I will use all the pets knowledge I learnt from books and internet
About: I am a mom to a wonderful 4 year old boy! I am a server at the moment, also looking to fill up some of my free time by spending time with and looking after some pups and cats since I am not allowed to have my own full time at the place I currently live! I have been around animals almost my entire life, mainly dogs, but also cats; birds, ferrets, guinea pigs, and also a chameleon! When I was around 7 up until age 12, I helped my aunts take care of over 20 miniature pinchers, as well as a Doberman, 5 cats, 3 ferrets, and two birds! And afterwards, I’ve lived with three pups that have absolutely all of my heart. Since moving out of my parents a several years ago though, I only get to see my pups a few times a week, and god do I miss being around them for snuggles, walks, and playtime outside. I cherish every moment with them. I don’t currently have any pups living with me at my own place, the stars haven’t aligned quite yet to take in a dog of our own, which is why I’ve decided to become apart of this community so that I am able to still spend more time with pups and also help out others who need their’s watched and cared for! I know most dogs (and some cats depending on their mood aha) just need lots of love and attention, and it can be super nerve wracking for them to be away from their owners, but also nerve wracking for the owners to leave their pets with a stranger. Dogs and cats are more than pets, they’re family. Trusting in me to care and look after your pet is something that will never be overlooked, and I will do whatever I can to ensure that they are cared for and kept safe, as well as doing whatever is needed to give you complete piece of mind that your loved one(s) are in the greatest of hands✨ I look forward to meeting you and your pups or kittys!! I have Monday-Wednesday off, varying things going on during those three days so availability will vary! Fridays I’m available anytime after 4 ! Weekends I usually do doubles so I don’t have much time on those days Although I don’t have a fenced in yard, there are plenty of parks around for exploring and play time, as well as some yard space just right outside my home if you don’t feel comfortable with your pup being brought elsewhere! My place isn’t too big but my home is their’s for as long as they’re here! I can give baths if needed, walks, snuggles, and playtime!
About: I have always had a dogs and I now have two I adore. I can offer a safe loving home while you are away from home. I am home all day so can let the dogs in and out as needed. My two dogs are also here to play and keep your dogs company. I have two dogs to keep your dog company and play. I also have an invisible fence so they can come in and out as needed.
About: I’ve owned and worked with dogs my whole life. I am the owner of a grooming salon and have worked in dog daycares as well as an animal hospital. We will treat your pups like our own! 🥰 We like to stick with what they are used to at home. Sleep on the bed? No prob! Snuggle on the couch? You got it! But if you have rules you are working on we are happy to help with those too. We have a large fenced in yard but the snow is high right now. So to be safe we are only taking dogs under 30 lbs. I have always specialized in senior dog care so if you have e an older buddy they are in good hands! ♥️Can’t wait to meet your pups! Also, we have 2 small dogs so yours must be ok with other pups. My husband and I both work from home so it’s easy for us to give the pups attention and care all day. Together we have plenty of time for walks, play, and snuggles! I have a large fenced in yard, but if you prefer walks that’s totally doable. I also have a Chinese crested mix and a Schnoodle who are very used to new dogs in the home. We also have baby chicks in the house until spring but they are in enclosures. In case your pup has a high prey drive, they can be moved to a safer area. 😆
About: I have had a dog at least 20 years. We occasionally have a Labrador a week at a time, he has full run of the house. I do not work, so I am home most of the time. I do local Arts Markets, but those aren't long days. A dog would get lots of attention. I have a fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for playing. The house is one floor, which would be easier on older dogs.
“Leah was amazing with my puppy! She watched him for the entire day on very short notice while I was working and even dropped him off at my house afterward. She sent lots of pictures throughout the day and was very communicative, responding quickly to messages. I felt completely comfortable knowing my puppy was in great hands. I’m so thankful she was able to accommodate us on such short notice and would absolutely trust her with my puppy again. Highly recommend!”
About: Been taking care of pets for 18 years from cats to medium size dogs and I love it and make sure you do as well. I can take care of your pets full time or part time I'm really flexible and I'll work around your schedule for best outcome for you. I'll Introduce them to my home and make sure they are comfortable before we play or if they have energy ill take for a walk or use a toy Inside
About: Iv had pets my whole life and have pet sat for friends and family many times in the past. I live on the second floor so it might be hard for senior dogs unless they don’t mind being carried, I’m relatively strong so heavier pets won’t be a problem, I can provide puppy pads for puppies and have a large litter box that is sanitized between uses. I am not currently working so I have all the extra time in the world, My children are at school for 8 hours of the day so if your pet(s) prefer no kids the morning/afternoon would be best for you, they’re older and calm kids who love pets so if your pet is ok with kids they’ll get along great. I have an unfenced yard but not many neighbors, I have a fenced in balcony and lots of trails for walking dogs if that’s what they would like to do.
About: I have been a dog owner since I was 5 and for then past 37 years I have had primarily beagles along with one Vizsla with typically 2 at any given time. Our last beagle Charlie passed away a few months ago and while we would like the freedom having no pet allows us we miss the company and unconditional love they offer us. My wife worked as a vet tech for 10 years so we are comfortable administering meds and I have been pretty successful with training pups (yes even beagles). I work mostly from home and my wife has the summers off from teaching so it fits great unto our routine and it would be a pleasure to have dogs underfoot again. We have crates if dogs feel at home in them but they are welcome in all the rooms downstairs. We live on a long dirt road which is perfect for walks and if it gets too hot we have a cool basement and a pond for them to swim in.
About: Hi! My name is Charlotte. My boyfriend, our blue heeler pup and I just moved from Dover to Chichester. We decided it was time to upgrade Kota from a condo to a big yard. Safe to say, she loves it. Our house is located on about an acre, but far away from any main roads. We have no traffic on our cul-de-sac making it the perfect area for our girl to go outside and play. My schedule rotates and I am typically working a hybrid schedule. For the days that I am home, I am looking to watch a few pups to give other dog parents affordable pricing, but also give Kota and opportunity to play. When I go into the office, Kota goes to a doggy daycare more towards Dover. The socialization is amazing for her. So we want to give other pups the same opportunity. Feel free to message me with any questions about our house, Kota, myself or anything else. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully present and attentive to the pets I care for throughout the day. Since my Blue Heeler is still a puppy, I’m already used to planning my day around potty breaks, playtime, walks, and training sessions—so adding another furry friend into the mix is something I’m well prepared for. Your pet will get plenty of love, attention, and care, no matter the time of day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home: I offer a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space for play, rest, and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely—mealtimes, walks, medication if needed, and play—so they feel right at home. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and of course, cuddles and affection! In a client’s home: I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s usual routine. I maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions you provide. I make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment, and I keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you're away.
“Sadie and Szymon did a phenomenal job with my Otter! They went on a long walk, and Otter got to play with their dogs in their beautiful yard! They treated Otter like one of their own, and I highly recommend them!”
About: Hi! I'm very active during the day and super chill at night. I work a full time job but will spend breakfast, lunch, and dinner with your dog plus a 30+ minute walk/run. I like to curl up and watch tv or read a book after work and will cuddle with your dog. I have a Bernese Mountain Dog of my own, currently 7 months old and he loves meeting new dogs. I can always bring him with me or leave him at home to give your dog all my attention. I work from home so having an extra dog here is very easy. I am also able to get away and come to you to care for your dog. I have a fully fenced yard that my dog loves to run in. We can’t wait to have your dog over to play with Kevin!

“Donna & Kim just adored and loved our pup while we were away, making sure to provide us with updates regularly. It made our trip away from home so much easier. They gave us complete peace of mind. Would definitely use them as sitters again :)”
“Her first time out with my girl. It was very hot that day, and her attention and concerns with Marlowe becoming over heated was much appreciated! She's very professional and prompt with great communication!”
“Julie is wonderful! She has so much knowledge and experience working with dogs, but she also has so much heart and passion. We’re so happy we have someone so reliable we can trust with our boy.”

About: Pet sitter with 10 years experience. 5 years veterinary experience as well as training and grooming experience. I've never had a job that didn't involve animals and I would never change that.

Whether your furry friend needs a quick 30-minute walk or an all-day adventure, I've got you covered! Mine and my fiancé's life revolves around our own 2 dogs and they are spoiled rotten. They're the reason I get up in the morning, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. From 6 am wake-up calls for puppy cuddles to 10 pm bedtime stories (yes, you read that right - my dogs love a good bedtime story!), our fur babies are the center of our universe. Some fun facts about me are I played competitive travel softball for 13 years - I'm talking national championships, folks! And in my free time, when not hiking with my own dogs or yours, I love to get creative with pottery. It's my go-to stress-reliever, and I hope to open my own studio one day.

About: We recently moved to Monterey area from NH. While in the NH area we provided housesitting, dog walking and drop in visits for both cats and dogs. We are experienced with large dogs such as Great Danes, small dogs such like shitzu’s and cats. If you should need someone to drop in while you are away and care for your fur child we hope you reach out and we have the opportunity to earn both you and your pets trust.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is not only my reliability, but also my lifelong experience with dogs. I grew up with a Labrador who showed me the joy of unconditional love, and I recently had to say goodbye to my sweet girl after 12 wonderful years together. She was truly family, and I cared for her through every stage of life, which gave me a deep understanding of what it means to love and look after a dog. Now, I get to share that love with my two young kids (ages 4 and 6), who absolutely adore dogs and treat every pup like their own playmate. Whether it’s long walks, cozy snuggles, or just keeping up with your dog’s daily routine, I’ll make sure your furry family member feels safe, loved, and part of our pack. Because I work full time during the week, I reserve dog care for weekends only—this way I can dedicate my attention and energy to your pup. My weekends are open for long walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, and my kids and I love having the extra time to focus on making each dog feel happy and cared for. By keeping my schedule this way, I can promise that your furry family member won’t just “fit into” my day—they’ll become a part of my family for the day(s). When caring for dogs, I focus on keeping them active, loved, and comfortable. My two young kids (ages 4 and 6) have endless energy and love to play, so visiting pups get plenty of attention and interaction. I live in a quiet town with lots of sidewalks and nearby neighborhoods, which makes for safe and enjoyable walks. While I don’t have a fenced-in backyard, I do have plenty of grassy space for outdoor time, and I’m happy to crate dogs if that’s part of their routine or helps them feel secure. Whether it’s playtime, exercise, or downtime, I’ll make sure your pup feels right at home.

“Leilani was attentive and responsive. She was prompt to let me know if there was any scheduling issues. I knew right away that our pet, puppy, was in the best care. She's very friendly and definitely good with animals of all sorts. I would definitely recommend her services.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for several years, including my own dog, Million. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to each dog’s needs. I live in a quiet home with no children, no smoking, and a calm environment that helps dogs feel safe and relaxed. I follow feeding routines closely, enjoy walking and playing with dogs, and can provide frequent updates, photos, and videos. Your dog will be treated like family while staying with me. I work from home, so I am at home most of the day and able to give dogs plenty of attention. Because my schedule is flexible, I can take them out for walks, outdoor breaks, and playtime whenever they need. I’m available on weekdays and weekends, and your dog will never be left alone for long periods. I live in a clean and quiet house with no children, no smoking, and multiple extra rooms where visiting dogs can rest comfortably. We also have an open yard where dogs can safely explore under supervision. My dog Million is friendly and fully trained, and I introduce dogs slowly to ensure everyone feels safe. I provide free toys and treats, follow your dog’s routine closely, and send frequent photo and video updates so you always know how your pup is doing.

“Taylor was absolutely amazing. She updated us with pictures and was soooooo accommodating. If you care about your fur baby as much as we do, know they will be in the best of hands with Taylor!”
“Heather and her family were great! 😊 They always kept me updated about my dog and were very accommodating and professional. We left our dog for 18 days, and I was never worried even once because I felt very comfortable leaving her in their care. You can really tell how much they genuinely cared for and loved our dog while we were away. Our dog was happy, healthy, and very well taken care of. Will definitely come back!”
“Becky was great. She accepted the booking quickly and communicated well throughout. The photos showed a group of very happy dogs - these are some of my favorite photos of my little guy. My dog can't bear to be left alone and is a sweet but insistent snuggler. He also gets the zoomies when he is nervous. She welcomed him with open arms and settled him quickly. She was sorry to see him leave, but he will definitely be back!”
“Christina took such wonderful care of Milo and Ellie while we were away. She kept us at ease with regular updates and photos, which we truly appreciated. It was clear they were in great hands the entire time. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust Christina again and highly recommend her”
“Andrea was excellent! Super responsive from the start and continued throughout the stay. Lots of pictures and updates as well. Her house was clean and very comfortable for pups. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Katie was great watching our Portuguese Water Dog. It was very easy to set up a drop-off time and work out the details with her prior. She kept us updated with pictures and our puppy came back well exercised and happy.”
“Sadie and her husband took great care of our dog, Millie! She sent me many pictures of Millie making herself right at home in their home! Even texted me to ask if she could take her to the dog park. Millie loved her pups as well and we'll definitely be using Sadie again if we go away!”
“We felt relieved knowing our doodles were with Collette. We originally brought them on our camping trip to see our niece graduate, but underestimated just how much we’d have to leave them alone in the camper - no bueno! The doodles were happy and healthy when we picked them up.”
“Nicole was amazing! She sent me messages and pictures of my Riley everyday. This was my puppers first time away from home and was anxious. However, Nicole was able to calm her and she was fine, which calmed my worries. I will definitely be asking her to watch my girl again.”
“Joshua, you were fantastic with my dog Slippy for the full 10 days. From the very beginning, I could tell how much care and attention you gave him. The regular updates and sweet photos meant the world to me and let me truly relax on my trip. Slippy came home happy, energetic, and clearly well-loved. I so grateful for everything you did. Thank you so much, Joshua — I would happily trust you with Slippy again anytime!”
“Michelle was great! We dropped our pup off with her for a wedding night sleepover and before we knew it he was running around playing and didn’t even care that we left. She loves dogs and treated ours as if he was her own (feeding, walks, playtime, safety). She would’ve taken him to the beach the next morning but we had to pick him up early and drive back to NYC. We would 100% recommend her when you’re in the Kittery/Portsmouth area!”
“Jeanne was great. We were away for almost two weeks. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures of Roxy playing. It was very comforting to see she was enjoying herself!”
“Kira had an excellent time staying with Julie! I got photo updates to see her playing with her new dog friends and cuddles on the couch. I think she liked staying with Julie much more than the kennel!”
“Noreen and her family so excellent with our family oriented dog Ellie. She was made to feel like she had a second family while we were away. Would be hard pressed to find a better caretaker than Noreen and her family.”
“Bielka was great. She responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate my pup last minute, when my usual sitter had to cancel. She took good care of my dog, and was able to handle her quirks and energy with seeming ease. When I picked up my dog, Bielka gave me a little summary of their time together and let me know how my dog did. She truly cared and loved her, and I so appreciated that. It's not always easy to find somebody who will provide that care and form a connection with your dog over a short period of time and it feels like Bielka did just that. My dog seemed totally at ease. I'm so grateful for Bielka and would 100% recommend her!”
“Veska took wonderful care of our 7 year old lab. He was made to feel a part of her family. He got lots of love and exercise. Veska took the time to send many daily updates with pictures. I highly recommend her services.”
