“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”

“As always Alena went above and beyond in her care for my fur baby Champ. My baby had an accident just a few days before I was set to travel for a wedding, Alena was willing and able to care for champ and administer his medications and watch over him. She kept me up to date with photos and health updates and made it so I didn’t have to worry or stress about him. I knew with her he’d be in good hands, and my pup was so excited to see her again. Thank you Alena for taking care of my fur baby!”
“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”
“our Boxer Rudy had just had a procedure and needed special care and is still being house trained. Mindy was awesome. She sent us pics, video and updates of him as well as gave him his medication. She gave us tips for socializing him and was very patient with him. I can tell he had an amazing time and will definitely let Rudy board with her again.”
“Crystal did amazing taking care of our two dogs over the holidays for an extended stay. This was our first time leaving our dogs for multiple days and Crystal sent us lots of photos and it put my mind at ease. You can tell she definitely is experienced! She handled everything really well. Our dogs are rescues and can be timid, in all the photos she sent they looked super comfortable and right at home. I recommend Crystal to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their pups!”
“Erika was wonderful! She was prompt to respond to messages and sent numerous pictures of our dogs during their stay. I appreciated her offer to do a meet and greet because we were able to see the space and get to know her before drop off day. We will definitely use Erika again in the future!!”
“Our usual dog sitter canceled and I was able to secure Michele that same day.. She met us with a warm welcome and a smile that reflected her love for animals. She also was adaptable to our needs and willing to adjust the times. We would definitely ask for her again. As an added bonus, a fenced in yard!”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”

Also Bev’s comment was she sure loves her tummy rubbed which I knew meant if all she wanted was Bev to rub her belly she really liked her and trusted her. I will definitely be using Bev again soon.”
“Charlette was wonderful!!! Nikey does well with new people, but can get nervous in new environments. Charlette treated him with kindness and patience. She was able and willing to work with his normal routine and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which helped me feel at ease. Nikey warmed up to her, her home, and her family quickly. We are so happy to have connected with Charlette and will absolutely request services again!!!”

She took very good care of my dogs, I knew they were in good hand from the first communication with Courtney because she asked a lot of questions and getting to know my pups before taking them in.

About: I've grown up with pets my entire life and have had 2 of my own dogs. They both had medical issues so I am very familiar with administering medications and preparing special meals. My home is currently pet-free and I would be so happy to spend time with your dog while you're away. I have plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. I currently work part time and always have Wednesdays and Fridays-Sundays off. I also have some Tuesdays off, and if I do work on Tuesdays it is only from 8-2. Mondays can be discussed. My house has a fully fenced in backyard and I never leave dogs outside unattended. Dogs are welcome to snuggle on my furniture and in bed with me if they like. If your dog is crate trained, feel free to bring their crate or I have a large one they can use. There are no other dogs or children in my home so your dog gets my full attention!
“Bri was wonderful! Excellent communication and she took wonderful photos too. My cats were in great hands with Bri and I will definitely have her watch my kitties again!”
“I’m so happy that I found Karen! She did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She sent so many photos and really made me feel comfortable leaving them in her care.”
About: Hi! I’m Katy! I am a veterinary assistant working at McClelland Small Animal Hospital, and I’m pet sitting to help pay for my dream honeymoon! I’ve had pets my entire life, and I’m so fortunate to be able to help care for others' pets every day. I will love and treat your critters like they are my own, as taking care of animals is truly my passion. I currently work full time at an animal hospital and own 3 dogs, a cat, and a husband (haha) so pet care is second nature to me. When I’m entrusted in caring for your pet and your home, I will be there all night and in the morning before I head into work. I will check on them during my lunch hour and come right back to them right after work. I'm always incredibly respectful of my clients homes, ensuring things are just as neat and tidy (if not more so) than they were when I arrived. Mail will be brought in, trash taken out, and bed linens cleaned. You're on a vacation, why worry about cleaning up when you get home?!
“Caitlin was great! Professional and responsive. We had a little snafu with the automatic wet feeders the first day- but everything else was perfect. She got great photos of my guys while I was away too-so they were very comfortable with her- which was so nice. i will definitely look for her next time I need drop ins!”
“I went overseas for 9 days and was very worried about how our 2 shy cats would react. It turned out they were in great hands with Emma who stopped by twice a day to feed them and clean the litter box daily. I highly recommend Emma who provided daily updates and would definitely use her in the future.”
“I highly recommended Ciara. She came 11 days in a row and my kitty loved her. I had no problems, she sent me pics everyday and communicated with me. I had peace of mind that my cat was well-cared for.”
“I scheduled her this past week last minute and she got back to me right away. She always very friendly and always willing to help out where she can! I will reschedule her again for my next long trip!”
“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”
“Jenna is literally the best sitter we've ever had <3. She took care of our cat Scrunchie for a week and we'll definitely rebook her in the future. She was super thorough, sent detailed updates during every visit, and took a ton of pics and really cute videos that we loved. Our cat is very picky about humans and she absolutely LOVED Jenna! Can't say enough great things about her -- Jenna is the best!!”
“Ciara goes above and beyond when taking care of my boys. From her detailed check ins assuring me all is okay to her genuine care and enthusiasm for animals, she is by far the best sitter I have had (and I’ve had many!). I can enjoy going away because I know the boys are in good hands and my place is taken care of. She is also just lovely and has a great attitude. Cannot recommend her enough!!!”
“Courtney is amazing!!! Sierra did really well with Courtney during her visits. She responded quickly to our requests, kept us informed throughout the visits, worked with Sierra's training during her walk, and made sure she was fed. We're grateful she accepted the booking with short notice during our family Xmas visit. Really recommend her if you're looking for an expert sitter.”
“Nicole was a gem. She managed our puppy and 9 year old like an expert. She over came our pup's hesitancy and quickly became friends. Look forward to using her services in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a child. I had a cat named Snickers who had kittens. Then, I had two boy cats named Butterscotch and Cutie. Then a cat named Molly who passed away from a stomach tumor. Then we had two girls named Pinta and Sandy. I’ve fed my neighbors cat when they were traveling before and also watched my friend’s two cats while he was away. I love them!
“This was the second time we booked Kelsey to take care of our cat, Simon, for a week while we were away on a trip. She did an AMAZING job with him again! She continues to be our first choice for a sitter for him. Simon is very sweet and playful, but can be a bit shy at first and Kelsey has been so patient and kind with him and Simon came out of his shell quickly for pets, playtime, and treats. He ate his food too quick and threw up one day, which Kelsey noticed and noted in the Rover card - she's observant and it was easy enjoying our trip knowing he was in good hands. If you're looking for a communicative, kind, and observant sitter for your cat (or dog), definitely consider Kelsey. As a pet parent you always worry about your pet's health and happiness while you're away and Kelsey does a great job taking care of both.”

“Crystal handled my two rescues wonderfully. It was their first time being somewhere without us and everything went great. She was great at giving updates and sending pictures. We plan on booking with crystal again in the future.”
“Kiara and Yves did an amazing job watching Teddy. Once I dropped him off, he felt right at home. Kiara kept on contact with me throughout the booking to update me on Teddys status and sent several pics. Will definitely book with Kiara and Yves again if we’re in the area.”
About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
“We appreciate Mindy's flexibility with our dog sitting needs while visiting Buffalo. She was friendly and communicative, too. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed in Mindy's home. Will be using Mindy's services again.”
“Maya absolutely loved her stay with Vicki, Patrick and Ging! She was very happy and was ready to rest after such a fun day. I really appreciated the updates/report card and the pictures/videos of Maya playing with Ging and going on a walk. I would definitely leave Maya with them again. Thank you once again!”
“Alexis is a wonderful dog sitter. She is responsive and understanding of my dogs individual needs. He's an older boy and appreciates a good lap or couch for requent relaxation and Alexis is willing to provide that. This was our second time at doggy day care with Alexis and he rushed out of the car to visit her again!”
“I feel like Courtney isn't just the best dog sitter, she's one of the best humans. She was so welcoming and understanding of my not completely house trained pup, and she's almost like a trainer as well as sitter. She's worked on crate training and commands with my pup, even letting me borrow things to help at home. Five other sitters denied my request to watch a puppy, but Courtney is the ultimate dog lover, and honestly has more patience than anyone I've ever met. My only concern is that my pup loves being at her house maybe more than mine, since Courtney's dogs are her new best friends! I can't recommend her highly enough, except I'll be sad if she ever ends up booked when I need her. I couldn't imagine using anyone else.”
“Akeira was such a responsible and kind dogsitter. She kept me updated regularly, which made a big difference. Her dog, Eleanor, is wonderfully gentle and got along so well with my pups. Akeira really put care and attention into making sure they were happy and healthy, including taking them on walks. The fact that my dogs were excited to see her every morning at drop-off says everything. I’d happily trust her with them again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a side job. I got my dog when I was 13 and have been his primary caregiver ever since, handling everything from daily walks and playtime to training and making sure he stays happy and healthy. Growing up around animals taught me that every pet has a unique personality and needs individualized attention. I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I give my own dog, so owners can feel confident that their pets are in good hands. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I have been caring for my own dog since I was 13, so daily walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure he stays happy and healthy are second nature to me. I also grew up with cats, which taught me the importance of providing individualized attention and maintaining a consistent routine. Because caring for animals has always been a part of my life, I enjoy incorporating pet sitting into my schedule and making sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Creating a safe and trustworthy environment in a client's home is one of my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet is a big responsibility, so I strive to respect each owner's routines, instructions, and preferences. I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and closely supervised, while keeping owners updated with regular messages and photos for peace of mind. My goal is to provide a calm, reliable presence so both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident while they're away.
About: Hi! I'm Caitlin and I have worked with animals professionally for over 10 years in grooming, boarding, training and animal shelters. Now, I work remotely and spend my time with my 4 cats :) My specialty and preference is in cat care and senior dogs. However, I will consider all booking requests. I am currently not able to handle very energetic animals, or animals that are very strong. I am better suited to more relaxed pets. **Important** - I currently work a full time job from home and can be flexible with scheduling. I will work from your home if booked for house sitting, so it is required I have a reliable internet connection! - At this time I require m&gs for all house sitting services before bookings, to ensure our expectations meet and to make sure your pet is comfortable with me. For long term house sitting, I highly reccomend a trial run of 1 day of daycare or a drop in visit. I work from home full time so I am available during the workday when most people are away! I love being able to hangout with new friends during my work week. Safety is and always has been my top priority. I am proudly fear free certified and have worked on extensive safety training measures in all of my professional working environments.
About: Loving, cozy home close to the airport. I have taken care of dogs of all kinds from German shepherds to labs to cocker spaniels and pit bulls. My house is pretty close to the Buffalo airport. Great walkable neighborhood. I work part time so I have lots of time to spoil your fur baby! I have a large backyard. I have 2 cats that can easily be separated in my finished basement if your dog doesn’t like cats.
“Sasha is very personable, great energy...and Homey seemed to enjoy his stay with her on Mother's day...nice to be away and know he was well cared for...lots of pics and updates....highly recommend.”
“We were just passing through on a road trip and landed tickets to see the Bills play so this was a last minute book. Sierra was wonderful with our Bella who has separation anxiety. She took it slow with Bella and soon Sierra had her eating (she has NEVER eaten a meal when we are not there with her), going for walks, and napping. I can tell Sierra was great with Bella because she was happy when we picked her up and went right to sleep when we got home.”
About: It's Summertime!!! Bring your Pupp-a-ccinos and PuppCorn for a sleeprover to talk about. We just got a new doggie pool for the heat, and have a pop up agility course to play in.Parks nearby is Knox farm, memorial Park, BurchField and more. My car/dog mobile is set up with dog seatbelts so we can safely drive to our next fun destination( if approved by owner). I'm a Licensed Veterinary Technician and have been working in the animal industry for over 15 years. I am able to give quality attention and care all day. License is available upon request. Proof of vaccines and flea/tick prevention required PRIOR to drop off. I try to take only one dog but there may be an overlap of a boarding client and daycare client. Are you looking for someone who can stay with your fur baby and not be kenneled? I'm your woman. Prices may vary dependent on the needs of the client and how extensive it may be. I try to give an enriching environment for all pets that I'm caring for, but if they are more mellow, then I'm very good at snuggling. I enjoy outdoor activities and love to bring any dog who wants to explore nature with me. I can take your dog out on multiple leashed walks a day. We can go to a nearby park or sunbathe on my porch. I treat all pets like they are my own family member.
“Laura was amazing with my off the wall super energetic 3 month old springer spaniel puppy!! She is a super experienced trainer and was amazing at providing a balance between structure/close monitoring for safety and a lot of fun play time for my girl. She sent a lot of updates and advice that was very helpful for our training as well! Laura went above and beyond and even gave me tons of training tips outside of the visit because my pup is very difficult and has been struggling with separation anxiety. Best value out of a Rover stay I’ve ever gotten!”
“Julia was so sweet and helped Finney feel right at home. She was attentive to all his needs and even sent me pictures and updates throughout the day to let me know how he was doing. I’m so happy she could help me out!”
“My fur girl really enjoys her time with Melissa — Melissa is in tune with her needs and can read her cues well. I’d recommend Melissa to anyone who has a fur baby who needs extra TLC!”
About: I love being around doggies! Since I was 15 I have always had a dog to love and take care of. I'm proud to have raised a happy, friendly and lovable 4 year old husky. I have pet sat for friends before and as an actor, I am an expert at following instructions but also trusting my instincts to care for pets and all living things. I work from home/ from my laptop and have lots of time to spend with your pet all day. In the evenings I might have rehearsal and then my partner ( also a lover of pets) would be more than happy to take over! I have a fenced yard but I do not leave dogs outside unattended. I allow dogs to roam in the house during the day and sleep where they please in the house at night. Any necessary adjustments to that can be made. It is of the utmost importance for me to respect your property and to maintain a consistent schedule.

“The proof of Jackie’s expertise is with the pups. They adored her. She is obviously a dog person. We’ll be booking her again as a sitter. I know that bean and sprout will have a wonderful time with her. Thanks Jackie!”
About: Chilling with pets is my favorite self-care! I have been taking care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. My speciality is rescue animals and all of my cats over the years have been from shelters. I've taken care of all types of cats and dogs from pugs to German Shepards, from kittens to senior cats.

This means I am available outside a traditional Monday - Friday 9am-5pm schedule. I follow your instructions like a recipe and am proactive about asking questions related to the care of your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs over the years and have worked at PetSmart as a pets hotel associate. I have two dogs (10 and 3 years old). I’ve also owned four cats and babysat family and friends pets before! I am home all day so I am fully available to provide care to pets. I live in an apartment with two dogs and live in walking distance to a park where my dogs love to walk. I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your pet if desired. I am home all day and take my dogs for at least three walks a day and we usually visit a park daily.
About: I have taken care of my sister dog for 7 months her name was chichi. I had lots of experience with taking her to walks, making sure she used the bathroom on her walks, also bathing her.

I absolutely love animals and plan to incorporate them into my therapeutic process with clients in the future. Please send them my way and I will give them all the love and empathy while you're away and as needed! I am a graduate student with an internship which entails the need for a daily routine. I am more flexible for weekends and holidays, and I am also willing to make other days work given enough time notice in advance. I love to be outside year-round, especially fall and winter, so I will be active with animals in snow/cold or sunshine which means walks and playing! I have three cats who have everything they need including love and grooming! I have a three-legged cat who requires more care for hygiene and grooming, so he gets lion cuts every so often. All of my cats get treats and are spoiled with love. I am flexible and willing to work around whatever is needed for safety and the environment. I would prefer to do house visits and drop-ins to feed/let outside, etc. I would need to be provided equipment like leashes, crates, food bowls, food, etc. I do not want to disrupt your pet's routine or familiarity of their own materials.
“Ian has been great so far! Flexible and consistent with the weekly walks. He and Amelia are clearly building a trusting relationship, and she’s really starting to warm up to him. I would definitely recommend him.”

About: I’ve always been around dogs and cats growing up. My grandmother owned an in-home dog grooming business that I assisted with from a young age. I’ve had my own family dogs since the age of 7. Whenever friends or family have gone out of town, they trusted me to look after their dogs as well as cats. Currently I have a 3-year-old catahoula leopard / lab mix and an 8-year-old brown tabby cat. During the week I work 9-5 from home. I tend to have most of my meetings early in the morning due to time zone differences, meaning I have the majority of the day to look after your dog. On weekends my availability can start as early as 9AM. I am typically available I don’t ski or snowboard – so you don’t have to worry about me being in the mountains. 1. There are many outdoor parks near my apartment building, as well as a dog run in the apartment complex itself. My 3-year-old pup is extremely friendly and playful, meaning your furry friend will always have someone to keep them company, should they want a friend.

In a client’s home, my focus is both on the well-being of the pet and on any information the client provides me with!
About: ** PLEASE READ FULL BIO BEFORE BOOKING*** I’ve worked at a cat shelter on and off for numerous years as a teen. Currently, I dog walk for the shelter as often as I can as part of their program. Ive also bottle fed rescue kittens and have much experience with baby animals, including wildlife! I am familiar with many species of animals and very passionate about their care. I’ve had rats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, cats, dogs and fish … just to name a few! **PLEASE READ** I do have 3 pet rabbits that a partially free roam. They are all in safe spaces & can be enclosured. They DO get along with other animals. I am available weekends, Saturday and Sunday, all day and weekdays Monday - Friday after 5pm! I do have a full time job but plenty of spare time for your pets care! I do have a fenced in yard but would love to actually walk your fur baby instead! I have beautiful parks near by with plenty of room to play!
About: I love being around doggies! Since I was 15 I have always had a dog to love and take care of. I'm proud to have raised a happy, friendly and lovable 4 year old husky. I have pet sat for friends before and as an actor, I am an expert at following instructions but also trusting my instincts to care for pets and all living things. I work from home/ from my laptop and have lots of time to spend with your pet all day. In the evenings I might have rehearsal and then my partner ( also a lover of pets) would be more than happy to take over! I have a fenced yard but I do not leave dogs outside unattended. I allow dogs to roam in the house during the day and sleep where they please in the house at night. Any necessary adjustments to that can be made. It is of the utmost importance for me to respect your property and to maintain a consistent schedule.

“Melissa was very flexible and communicative. My dog stayed with her for an overnight on New Year’s Eve. She sent me 2 pictures of him which was very nice. Simple and easy and my dog came home happy”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“As always Alena went above and beyond in her care for my fur baby Champ. My baby had an accident just a few days before I was set to travel for a wedding, Alena was willing and able to care for champ and administer his medications and watch over him. She kept me up to date with photos and health updates and made it so I didn’t have to worry or stress about him. I knew with her he’d be in good hands, and my pup was so excited to see her again. Thank you Alena for taking care of my fur baby!”
“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”
“our Boxer Rudy had just had a procedure and needed special care and is still being house trained. Mindy was awesome. She sent us pics, video and updates of him as well as gave him his medication. She gave us tips for socializing him and was very patient with him. I can tell he had an amazing time and will definitely let Rudy board with her again.”
“Crystal did amazing taking care of our two dogs over the holidays for an extended stay. This was our first time leaving our dogs for multiple days and Crystal sent us lots of photos and it put my mind at ease. You can tell she definitely is experienced! She handled everything really well. Our dogs are rescues and can be timid, in all the photos she sent they looked super comfortable and right at home. I recommend Crystal to anyone looking for someone they can trust to take care of their pups!”
“Our usual dog sitter canceled and I was able to secure Michele that same day.. She met us with a warm welcome and a smile that reflected her love for animals. She also was adaptable to our needs and willing to adjust the times. We would definitely ask for her again. As an added bonus, a fenced in yard!”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
“Amanda is a wonderful sitter and we have used her multiple times! When we bring Rizzo back to drop her off she immediately starts wagging her tail as we approach Amanda’s door as a true sign she loves staying with Amanda!”
“Annalisa and her boyfriend were both so sweet and caring. They took great care of my dog and I would definitely use them again! She kept me updated on how things were going - great communication. Also her dog Stella was a sweetheart and our dogs got along very well. ♥️”
“Charlette was wonderful!!! Nikey does well with new people, but can get nervous in new environments. Charlette treated him with kindness and patience. She was able and willing to work with his normal routine and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which helped me feel at ease. Nikey warmed up to her, her home, and her family quickly. We are so happy to have connected with Charlette and will absolutely request services again!!!”
“Sierra is an awesome sitter!! My Bentley loves her and she takes really good care of him when she has him, and he is always happy when she sends me pictures of him. I would recommend her to anyone😊”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve watched friends’ pets in the past to help them out. I’ve boarded and walked on multiple occasions. I work during the day M-F. During the summer my two very responsible 19 and 20 year olds are home to help out and play with the animals as well. I’m looking at this as a learning opportunity in responsibility for them. I have a small yard and live in a nice neighborhood that is good for walking. I have a dog named Westley who is 3 1/2 and a cat, Daisy, that is 6. Both have been around both dogs and cats. Daisy generally will hide if she’s scared. Westley loves to play.
“Leah was very attentive and shared frequent updates about how my dog was adjusting. I’d definitely recommend Leah and am looking forward to boarding my dog with her again.”
“My two dogs have never been away from me and Alexis kept them happy and active for a week! Alexis was very good at communicating promptly and keeping me informed. Thank you for a great week!”
“If you guys have a chance to leave your loved fur baby with anyone, I wouldn't recommend anyone better than Kim and her family! From loving photos of them playing, to a family full of love to give to your pet out lab Hank was in heaven. They were amazing on working with us as it was our wedding day and our drop off time was earlier than expected! Five stars doesn't say enough.”
“Denise was just awesome. She really make us feel that Pepe was just another one of the family. Great communication and she just showed how he loves animals and cares about them. Will definitely ask Denise again in future occasions.”
