“Stephanie Ann is awesome. She is so caring and so wonderful to our dog, Sophie. She constantly keeps us updated with photos and texts. I always know that Sophie is in good hands with Stephanie. Thank you, Stephanie, for taking care of our precious Sophie.”
“Lauren and Derek took great care of my Coko! They met us outside for dropoff and pickup. She had such an amazing time in their hands and playing with the other pups! 5/5 stars!”
“My dog’s stay with Teresa and her family went perfectly. I was nervous dropping him off due to him having a medical issue a few days prior to drop off. Teresa was well informed about his condition and did everything to keep me at ease by providing regular updates and photos. He came home a very happy, healthy and tired pup. I can’t recommend Teresa highly enough.”
“Elizabeth was amazing!! This was our first time leaving Ginger with someone other than family and I can truly say Ginger was treated just like family while she was with Elizabeth. She kept me updated everyday with pictures and videos. That put me and my family at ease to enjoy our vacation knowing Ginger was being beyond taken care of. Thank you again Elizabeth for being available at such short notice!! This was such an awesome first experience and Ginger will be back! I’m so glad that we found Elizabeth and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.”
“Amy was so sweet and easy to make arrangements with! It made me feel good when she told me that Bear enjoyed hanging out with her family. Her daily updates and pictures were a treat. I would not hesitate to board Bear at Amy’s again.”
About: Hi! I’m Jessica, I've been a pet owner for over 15 years and have cared for both dogs and cats throughout that time. I have also had the pleasure of caring for our neighbors' pets, and we currently share our home with two friendly, well-loved cats. What sets my home apart is the personalized, one-on-one care I provide. I am the sole caregiver responsible for every aspect of your dog's stay, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering medication (if needed), and providing individualized attention. I only host one family's dog(s) at a time, so your pup will receive my full attention in a comfortable environment. This is a family household where my husband and I live with our four children (ages 8, 5, and 2-year-old twins). The children are always supervised around visiting pets, and I remain the only person responsible for your dog's care. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're being treated with the same love and care we'd want for our own pets. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home two days each week and structure my schedule to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. On the other three days, your dog will be let out in the morning and walked if time allows. I get back to the house around 5pm and will resume caring for your dog like they are my own. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only host one family's dog(s) at a time to provide a low-stress environment. Dogs are welcome on the furniture if that's what they're used to at home, and I'll do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a family household, young children will be present, but I am the sole caregiver responsible for all pet care and supervision throughout your dog's stay.
“We had a great experience leaving our dogs with Wanda. When we left them I heard them crying and was a bit concerned about them settling in. When we got home Wanda had texted and let us know they were setting in and sent us photos showing them relaxing. During the week we received multiple photos and updates on how it was going, which put us at ease. When we picked up the dogs they were in excellent health and very happy. We would highly recommend Wanda dog sitting services. Thank you Wanda, for taking such good care of our dogs.”
“Monica has been really great to work with! I think my dog has more fun at her house than mine. He has stayed with her twice and she sends pictures to show me how he is doing while I’m gone. She’s the best”
“Jill was absolutely wonderful with Charlie and Bailey. She and her fur baby Roscoe made them feel at home. Jill was so helpful, flexible and caring with them. They were administered meds regularly, fed and cared for with great love. Her home was beautiful and very clean but still very conducive to pet care. She was in touch with pics and reports daily and they always looked happy and healthy. She lives very close so that was an extra convenience. I’m excited that we’ve found such a wonderful caregiver so close to home. We will definitely be coming back.”
“Amazing!! Leanne G. was an incredible sitter. She provided dog boarding services while we took a much-needed family vacation. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I felt very comfortable knowing that Oakley was being well-cared for. He went on lots of walks and had a blast playing with his new friends. I would definitely recommend Leanne G.; and I will certainly use her again! Thank you, Leanne!”
“This was my first time ever leaving Teddy with anyone and she put my mind at ease from the beginning. She provided pictures of the play area before we dropped him off and picture updates throughout his stay. He enjoyed his stay and was happy and well cared for. We will go to Vanessa again for our pet sitting needs.”
“Debbie was great with our Huey. She sent us pictures every day, which we looked forward to seeing. We have boarded him at other facilities before, and he definitely was much more relaxed when coming home. Will definitely use Debbie again! Thanks so much!”
“Great place for our dog to stay when we can't take her with us on vacation. Vickie provides great communication and updates on the stay. She spends a lot of time and effort to get to know your pet. Will definitely use their services again. Thanks for everything.”
“My apologies that this review is so late... life gets in the way sometimes. John & Kelsie were WONDERFUL hosts to our puppy, Topher! I spoke with Kelsie several times prior to his boarding stay and we even had a preliminary visit. During his stay, she contacted me several times each day with picture and text updates. My puppy, Topher, got along well with her dogs and loved his boarding stay. This was my first time using Rover and my first time boarding Topher. I would definitely use John and Kelsie again without hesitation and HIGHLY RECOMMEND their services!! Thank you again! A. Harper & Topher”
“I booked with Sheree literally last minute. She graciously accepted my request. She did great with my puppy. He was happy and loved on all weekend. Really gave me peace of mind that he was in such good hands. She sent me pics and updates periodically. He had such a good time. I will certainly book with her again. She will be my go to when I go out of town. Thank you Sheree. 😀”
“Colleen was so great with Abe! We had pet care fall through last minute less than a week before our vacation and Colleen was a true life saver. She was reassuring throughout the booking process and sent plenty of pictures during Abe’s stay, helping put our minds at ease. Her home was very clean and welcoming, and we are so lucky to have left Abe in such great hands.”
“Christine was AMAZING with my dog Lily & cat Lotus. We did an in person meet & greet with my dog at her house before booking the boarding with her, which was great. My girls got comfortable quick at her house and seemed to really enjoy their stay. Christine sent picture updates as well and was very communicative throughout the stay. She also was happy to accomodate all of their feeding needs & schedules. She was so flexible as well, which was greatly appreciated as traveling can often be stressful. The least stressful part of my trip was knowing my furbabies were safe & happy in Christine's care & her gorgeous house. I will definitely be rebooking with her & recommending to my friends and family who are looking for a pet sitter. Thank you so much again from me, Lily & Lotus.”

“Natalie was great with my cats! It was a last minute booking and she was so accommodating. She took great photos and kept me updated while I was gone. Highly recommend!”
“Catharine was super communicative during her drop in visits with my cat. She shared lots of photos and made sure to give him lots of love. I would definitely book her again!”
“Savannah took such good care of our cat! It was our first vacation since we got him and we were a little nervous because he can be anxious. Savannah sent lots of cute updates, pictures, and videos so I knew he was happy at home!”
“This was my first time using Rover and the first time I had to leave my two cats Sully and Judge alone for a full week. I had never been apart from that for so long, but when I talked to Sharon she put my mind at ease. She is very nice and helpful, and not only fed my cats on time but played with Judge when he came out to meet her, brushed his coat and set up his favorite toys to play with. She was incredibly accomodating when I changed flights, making sure my neighbors had my keys because I was coming home at midnight. I would highly recommend her to anyone, she definitely loves what she does and will go the extra mile to make sure your pets are taken care of. I have already booked her for another week in February!”
“Davene is a wonderful cat sitter! She just took care of my three kitties over Thanksgiving. I appreciated how quick she was to respond to my request and her offer of an initial visit to meet the cats and get our instructions in person. She was very gentle and sweet with the kitties, and I could tell that they really liked her. Davene followed all instructions and left the place neat and clean. I highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”
“Lauren was consistent with our twice a day drop-ins even after getting a huge amount of snow on day 2 of checking in on my 2 kitties! She took time to make sure their litter was clean, they were fed, and played with them. The report card photos were a treat we looked forward to after every visit! Will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: As a child I had multiple cats so I know each one is specific in their care! Since having my own cats I have watched both family’s and friend’s cats for varying amounts of time. I am comfortable feeding cats and changing litter boxes. Depending on the cat, and their comfort level with strangers, I am able to provide medication. Profile picture is my friend’s cat Gizmo!
About: My family has had two cats, Moe and Mitzi, and I love going to local animal shelters to socialize the cats, so that they are more comfortable around people. At the shelter, I also cleaned their litter boxes and filled their food and water bowls.
About: I’ve loved and cared for cats my entire life and currently care for cats of my own. I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, whether they’re playful, shy, senior, or newly adopted. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, playtime, medication instructions, and providing plenty of affection while respecting each cat’s boundaries. I treat every pet like family and always provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Megan did a great job taking care of Tiger while we were away, watered our plants, and even waged war on some ants that took advantage of us being gone! We would definitely use her services again in the future; she definitely eased the stress of being so far away from home with her updates and pictures!”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life growing up, so I’m very comfortable with their unique personalities, routines, and needs. I understand that cats require patience, a calm environment, and respect for their space, and I always adjust my care to match their comfort level. While I don’t currently have a cat of my own, I truly enjoy caring for others’ cats and giving them the attention and affection they deserve. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or more independent, I focus on making them feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for
“Amber was fantastic! She and Loki got along right away at the Meet-and-Greet, which we weren't sure about since he hasn't met many new folks since we brought him home from the shelter. We greatly appreciated the photos each day, and Loki seemed to enjoy Amber's company and evening pets. This was our first time booking a cat sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with Amber again.”
“Our cat Bug was in excellent hands with Lexi! She provided pictures every day! Spent more than adequate time with him and made me feel at ease with him under her care. Thanks Lexi!”

“Stephanie was great! She was very warm and welcoming. She sent lots of pictures and updates to let me know how Ollie was doing! I would definitely reach out to her again!”
“Amber did a fantastic job with our rambunctious 5 month old puppy, Oaklyn. She kept her overnight and all day. We received lots of pictures of our pup which really gave us a sense of comfort. We will definitely be using Amber again in the future if she’ll have us!”

“Wonderful family! Daisy enjoyed staying with them. I was in a crunch trying to find a sitter and Lauren and Derek were there for us. They did a great job making my dog feel comfortable when she was initially nervous. I highly recommend!”
About: We own two large dogs- an Australian cattle dog/Anatolian shepherd/Hound mix, and a yellow Labrador retriever. They are very high energy and unique with lively personalities. We love to take them on bicycle rides/walks through the woods and neighborhood. We both have experience with dogs- John dog-sat as a child and has had family dogs as well, and I grew up on a farm with 10-15 inside/outside dogs all my life as well as many other animals. We have a big back yard that is fenced in, we also live next to a big state park that is loads of fun for any animal! Our entire family and our friends also have dogs, so when we all get together we usually have about 12-14 dogs all together at once running around playing and having fun! We would love to be able to help others who own dogs and have a busy schedule live life while knowing their beloved pet is well taken care of!
“Brian was great! Super flexible with my odd work hours. Finn was very nervous as Brian was his first sitter, but he ended leaving with a wagging tail! Loved the photo updates as well!”
“Trusting anyone with your pet, especially a young puppy, is always nerve wrecking. From the moment that I first spoke with Vickie I felt completely reassured that Denali was in good hands. Vickie and Heath are such kind, compassionate people and it shows in how they interact with the pets in their care. Denali is always SO EXCITED to get out of the car when she sees that we’re at their house, and comes home happy and exhausted from having so much fun. They are flexible, reliable, honest and even gave helpful tips when they noticed Denali starting to eat grass. I cannot recommend them enough for daycare/boarding!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Debbie was amazing! She gave our new 13 week old puppy great care! I had a last minute change in plans and needed a sitter for the entire day and Debbie made herself available on super short notice. Her consistent and ongoing communication throughout the day put us at ease. Our kids were so excited every time we received photos during the day. I highly recommend Debbie!!!!!!”
“Vanessa is the real deal! My puppy has so much fun when she spends the day with Vanessa and she absolutely crashes out for hours when she gets home! Can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Achilles is a very high energy kind of dog; you have to be great to handle him! Jovani did exceptionally well with him. What made my heart smile is the way Achilles ran towards his door and also jumped for joy when I dropped him both days! Achilles is a very smart dog; if you are bad with him, he runs away from you but if you are good with him, he'll be all over you any time he sets his eyes on you! Trust me, your dog will have a great time with Jovani! I am so happy Achilles has a second home where he is loved & taken care of! I would have given a 10 star rating if there was one!!!”
“Cayde really enjoyed doggie day care with Tammy and her family. Tammy kept us update and even sent pictures of Cayde’s visit with her! We really appreciate knowing that we left our baby in such good hands while we celebrated our grand baby’s birthday party!”
About: Hi! My name is Amanda and I’m a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life, which has given me a strong understanding of animal care and behavior. I have experience with large breeds including German Shepherds and Huskies, chocolate labs and small breeds as well so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and long walks. I understand how important pets are to a family and will treat your pet like my own while providing safe, loving, and reliable care. I work Monday- Friday from home so your baby will almost never be alone while staying over. My morning normally begins around 6a.m. With my day ending around midnight. I have a large fenced in yard perfect for catching some sun rays and getting the zombies out. I do have two dogs to keep your furry baby comfy. However if you would like them to be separated I can keep them separated on different floors in my home.
About: I have owned dogs and cats of all sizes and I am comfortable with both puppies and senior animals. I have a secure, large yard, air conditioning, and full-time availability to spoil your pet. (My dog has passed so no pets live in the home). I'm very attuned to animals needs and make sure they're comfortable and calm. I am happy to host multiple pets at once as long as your pet is friendly (can host cats alone without other animals). I work from home part time. My house is very chill and my schedule is flexible. I rarely need to leave the house, and if your dog has separation anxiety i can plan to be fully available. I drive so I can attend to pets as needed throughout the day and evening at your home. If at my home, we will mostly hang out on the first floor where your pet can access food and water. I provide frequent bathroom breaks and time out in the yard (or a quick walk around the neighborhood). At clients homes, I make sure the pet is comfortable in its natural environment, play, and take them outside as needed.
“Elaine was great and caring. My pup always feels anxious when she is in a new environment and with new people. Elaine did her best so that Daisy felt good like at home. She took a great care of my dog. I’m very thankful for this experience and would absolutely recommend her!”

“You cannot find a better dog person than Natalie. Went far beyond what we could have ever expected and Lulu loved her. Natalie came by to get her jacket and Lulu was almost as excited to see her as she was to see me last night! Only complaint is she may have spoiled her! LOL. If Natalie is anywhere near you, I encourage you to choose her. No hesitations on my recommendation.”

I have a full time job Monday through Friday but am generally available on weekends and occasional weeknights. I’m also more flexible on Fridays. I’m comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes. I would love to help provide potty breaks and walks and playing! For boarding, I have a roughly 30x30ft fenced yard and one 40lb friendly dog of my own.
“I use Sharon regularly to walk my puppy who can be a bit crazy (as puppies are) and she is always sweet to her. I’m new to rover and I’m so glad I found someone I trust in my home and to care for my puppy Bingley who is my world!! Sharon follows my instructions to a tee and is reliable and cares about animals, would recommend.”

About: I've been raised around dogs and cats all my life, as well as how to care for them. I've even had experience taking care of the school pet.

I would make sure the area is safe and secure and make sure they always have plenty of food and water. At my home, our backyard is fenced in and secured.
“Can’t say enough good things about Kelly! She was wonderful with my dog and clearly very attentive. I really appreciated the photos and the detailed summaries after each visit, it gave me so much peace of mind. Communication was excellent, and it’s obvious she truly cares about the dogs she looks after. I will 100% book again and highly recommend.”
About: People call my home the rescue center! All five of my animals have been rescued. I had to treat my male cat after a bad urinary blockage, female cat after being infected by ring worm and my oldest dog that has severe ear/environmental allergies. My youngest dog comes with a heartful story, so I will save that for an in-person conversation since it is a lengthy story. All are now healthy, happy and living a dream!! If I could adopt them all, I would. I also own a frog who eats crickets on a daily basis. (he also is another in-person heartful story) I will put full compassion into taking care of your babies like he/she was my own. I look forward to advancing my dreams and services to help people that can't be home all the time to provide extra love, care and anything else your pet needs. Additional experience, I was brought up in a home with birds and guinea pigs, so if they need a special gourmet meal, no problem!! At the end of April 2025, I resigned from my full-time job running an office and decided to take on an industry that I absolutely love to do....care for animals of all kinds!!! Contact me for more details, so we can discuss your pet needs and the days/times you will need pet care. Just let me know what your pet needs and I will assure I can accommodate. I also recommended a meet and greet so that we can meet ahead of time to go over everything that you require for my stay and what your pet requires at the time of service.

My senior pup Sasha (17 years old!! had her since she was 1) recently crossed the rainbow bridge, so I’ve got a lot of love to give to any pet who needs it 🩵 I’ll be sure to update you with many photos of your baby while I’m caring for them! I am a mental health therapist and social worker at two big children’s hospitals. My schedule offers a lot of flexibility and I’d love to use my days off being around animals 😊 I treat all pets with the same love, compassion, and understanding as if they were my own. I am adaptable to meet whatever your fur baby’s needs. My previous pup was a rescue who suffered a lot of trauma before we got her, so I have a lot of experience meeting animals where they’re at comfort-wise and being patient with building trust.

“Lauren and Derek took great care of my Coko! They met us outside for dropoff and pickup. She had such an amazing time in their hands and playing with the other pups! 5/5 stars!”
“My dog’s stay with Teresa and her family went perfectly. I was nervous dropping him off due to him having a medical issue a few days prior to drop off. Teresa was well informed about his condition and did everything to keep me at ease by providing regular updates and photos. He came home a very happy, healthy and tired pup. I can’t recommend Teresa highly enough.”
“Amy was so sweet and easy to make arrangements with! It made me feel good when she told me that Bear enjoyed hanging out with her family. Her daily updates and pictures were a treat. I would not hesitate to board Bear at Amy’s again.”
About: Hi! I’m Jessica, I've been a pet owner for over 15 years and have cared for both dogs and cats throughout that time. I have also had the pleasure of caring for our neighbors' pets, and we currently share our home with two friendly, well-loved cats. What sets my home apart is the personalized, one-on-one care I provide. I am the sole caregiver responsible for every aspect of your dog's stay, including feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, administering medication (if needed), and providing individualized attention. I only host one family's dog(s) at a time, so your pup will receive my full attention in a comfortable environment. This is a family household where my husband and I live with our four children (ages 8, 5, and 2-year-old twins). The children are always supervised around visiting pets, and I remain the only person responsible for your dog's care. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet behind, and my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing they're being treated with the same love and care we'd want for our own pets. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! I work from home two days each week and structure my schedule to provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. On the other three days, your dog will be let out in the morning and walked if time allows. I get back to the house around 5pm and will resume caring for your dog like they are my own. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only host one family's dog(s) at a time to provide a low-stress environment. Dogs are welcome on the furniture if that's what they're used to at home, and I'll do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. As a family household, young children will be present, but I am the sole caregiver responsible for all pet care and supervision throughout your dog's stay.
“Amazing!! Leanne G. was an incredible sitter. She provided dog boarding services while we took a much-needed family vacation. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. I felt very comfortable knowing that Oakley was being well-cared for. He went on lots of walks and had a blast playing with his new friends. I would definitely recommend Leanne G.; and I will certainly use her again! Thank you, Leanne!”
“Great place for our dog to stay when we can't take her with us on vacation. Vickie provides great communication and updates on the stay. She spends a lot of time and effort to get to know your pet. Will definitely use their services again. Thanks for everything.”
“My apologies that this review is so late... life gets in the way sometimes. John & Kelsie were WONDERFUL hosts to our puppy, Topher! I spoke with Kelsie several times prior to his boarding stay and we even had a preliminary visit. During his stay, she contacted me several times each day with picture and text updates. My puppy, Topher, got along well with her dogs and loved his boarding stay. This was my first time using Rover and my first time boarding Topher. I would definitely use John and Kelsie again without hesitation and HIGHLY RECOMMEND their services!! Thank you again! A. Harper & Topher”
“Colleen was so great with Abe! We had pet care fall through last minute less than a week before our vacation and Colleen was a true life saver. She was reassuring throughout the booking process and sent plenty of pictures during Abe’s stay, helping put our minds at ease. Her home was very clean and welcoming, and we are so lucky to have left Abe in such great hands.”
“Christine was AMAZING with my dog Lily & cat Lotus. We did an in person meet & greet with my dog at her house before booking the boarding with her, which was great. My girls got comfortable quick at her house and seemed to really enjoy their stay. Christine sent picture updates as well and was very communicative throughout the stay. She also was happy to accomodate all of their feeding needs & schedules. She was so flexible as well, which was greatly appreciated as traveling can often be stressful. The least stressful part of my trip was knowing my furbabies were safe & happy in Christine's care & her gorgeous house. I will definitely be rebooking with her & recommending to my friends and family who are looking for a pet sitter. Thank you so much again from me, Lily & Lotus.”
“John was a tremendous sitter! My dog Fenwick walked into John’s home and checked things out then laid doe on the floor and felt perfectly at home! He loved his time spent there. John has a great way with dogs! He truly cares for them!”
About: I have taken care of pets my whole life so I can take care of puppies to elderly dogs. Most dogs love me and want to come play and pet. I also have a 2.5yr old son who absolutely LOVES dogs. We are happy to take care of dogs with special needs or is on mediations. We had a cat that just recently passed away and she would have been 19yrs old this year. She had asthma and we had to give her an inhaler 2x a day for 10 years. Happy to help your family with any special needs. We will love them like our own while you are away. I currently run my own business and work from home. I have a very flexible schedule so I can fairly easily adopt to your needs and help out wherever I can. I have a nice size home so your dog will have lots of free range all over the house. I live in a very pet friendly community so there are a ton of dogs around and a nice place to go walking the dog.
“Nantikan were very prompt in communications and took excellent care of our two dogs while we were out of town for a long weekend. She sent us photos and kept us up to date. Much appreciated!”
“I was nervous at 1st to leave Kensi with anyone because we have never left her over night with anyone. But Christine took extremely great care of our pup. Would recommend her also to someone who needs a pet sitter..”
“David did a wonderful job watching my pup! He sent pictures of her everyday along with updates. She seemed very happy when we saw her afterwards. I’d trust him with her again!”
“Jovani did an amazing job, I needed a sitter on really short notice and he answered almost immediately. Really amazing communication, sent pictures throughout the day, my dog was comfortable in very short time with him. He followed all directions and was always available with any questions or concerns I had!”
About: Hi! My name is Amanda and I’m a dependable animal lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’ve had dogs and cats all my life, which has given me a strong understanding of animal care and behavior. I have experience with large breeds including German Shepherds and Huskies, chocolate labs and small breeds as well so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and long walks. I understand how important pets are to a family and will treat your pet like my own while providing safe, loving, and reliable care. I work Monday- Friday from home so your baby will almost never be alone while staying over. My morning normally begins around 6a.m. With my day ending around midnight. I have a large fenced in yard perfect for catching some sun rays and getting the zombies out. I do have two dogs to keep your furry baby comfy. However if you would like them to be separated I can keep them separated on different floors in my home.
“Kathleen is amazing! My girls had the best time,fun and care ever! Status updates with pictures of how they were doing was invaluable. They can’t wait to come back!”
