“Through the pics Richardo sent, it looks like my gentlemen had a great time. I will be using Richardo again soon, as in next week! I highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a great sitter”
“Marie watched Champ for the second time, and once again, she was fantastic. She took great care of him and sent us regular photo updates. It’s clear she genuinely cares for him, and he seemed relaxed and happy in her care. We’re so grateful to have someone we can trust, and we’ll definitely continue booking with Marie. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable dog sitter!”
“Our dog had so much fun while staying at Debra’s over the weekend. She was able to run around in the yard and get in come cuddling time - which Debra sent photos of so we could see how well she was being taken care of. Thank you again! ?”
“We left our two small dogs with Alex for a three day weekend. This is the first time our dogs have not been with us and without any exaggeration, we could not have hoped for a better experience! One of our dogs has separation anxiety issues. Within a short time of being left there Alex had him relaxed and having fun playing and feeling comfortable in his unknown surroundings. We did leave both of them with Alex for a short three hour dog sitting session a few days before so it wasn’t totally unknown, this may have helped a bit. But Alex is a bit of a dog whisperer himself, and is very in tune to the dogs condition and needs. They gave us wonderful updates with videos and photos, as well as texts, keeping us up-to-date on what activities the dogs were involved with at the time. Which was very reassuring. They provide a wonderful environment for the animals.”
“Lucy has a great stay with Serafina and Sky! She has a great backyard and Sky couldn't be friendlier. They went on walks everyday and she even sent me pictures throughout the week!”
“Haley was absolutely amazing with our dog, Leia! Super responsive, showed genuine care for our pup, sent daily pictures, was flexible to needing dates adjusted. Leia also had a couple smaller medical issues that Haley was more than willing to assist/accommodate to while Leia was in her care 10/10 would recommend!”

We received several updates throughout Remi’s stay and I felt so confident leaving him in her care!

We would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn, and would love to use her again in the future!”
“Lourdes and her family provided a wonderful home away from home for our beagle Snoopy. We are so grateful for the attention, care and love they shared with him. He is a shy and nervous guy but he instantly felt safe with Lourdes and was able to come out of his shell and enjoy himself. What a wonderful experience!”
“Cara and Dan are wonderful people! They took wonderful care of our dog while we were out at a wedding. If we lived in the area we’d ask them to care for our dog all the time! Thank you Cara and Dan!”

“Corinne was great with Saturn and took excellent care of her while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates and photos with each visit, which gave us peace of mind.

I’d definitely recommend Corinne and would be happy to book with her again!”

About: I have been working as a Veterinary Assistant for the past two years, where I have gained hands-on experience caring for and handling animals of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I am comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and caring for pets with special needs. My experience in veterinary medicine has taught me how important it is to be patient, attentive, and calm with every animal. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own! I am a full-time college student athlete, so pet care fits around my class and practice schedules. My schedule still gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day, and I am happy to coordinate with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. With two years of experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, I am comfortable handling pets with different personalities, needs, and routines. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and other care, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.
“Madeline was awesome! She was communicative, sent wonderful photos, and did a great job! We were able to rest easy knowing our cat was in great hands while we’re away! Thanks, Madeline!”
“I’m above and beyond satisfied with Kaitlyn, She showed my little guy much love during his stay. Kaitlyn was consistent with providing text and video, I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my little guy was in safe hands and environment. Thanks Kaitlyn !!! You’re the best!!!!!”
About: I enjoy getting to know every cat and their unique personality. I don't mind if they need some time to open up or are playful from the get-go. I'll make sure they have everything they need, such as food, fresh water, a clean litter box, and toys. My camera roll is probably 25% cat photos, so I'll have no trouble keeping you updated with cute pictures while you're away!
About: While most of my pet care experience has been with dogs, I have also cared for cats on several occasions over the past year. Through those experiences, I've become comfortable with feeding routines, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and care routine, and I take pride in following instructions carefully to make sure your cat is comfortable. My experience caring for senior, rescue, and anxious dogs has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and adapting to each pet's individual needs. I'm always eager to learn and committed to providing reliable, high quality care for every pet I look after.
About: I’ve taken care of cats since early age, instead asking gifts for me, I ask them for my cats instead haha cat toys are never enough, my cats might have helped me write this.😂🥰 However you can trust me to take care of your babies, I love them very much already, hope to talk to you soon!
“Sarah-Anne was great! I needed to find a sitter very last minute, and she was incredibly accommodating and a breeze to communicate with. She took care of my two kitties for about 5 days, bonded with them and sent me several pictures of them each time she dropped in. Would highly recommend!”
About: I have loved dogs all my life, and would love the opportunity to care for and have fun with yours! I am kind, gentle and caring, and will be patient with your pet. I believe in positive reinforcement (I have experience successfully training dogs with this philosophy), so you can be confident when leaving your pup in my care. Former teacher turned audiology graduate student, I have plenty of time to devote to caring for your pet. I believe in long walks and plenty of playtime to keep your dog engaged. I am very flexible, and will follow all instructions given as I believe wholeheartedly that you know your dog best. I look forward to working with you and providing the best care possible for your dog. I am currently in graduate school and will have plenty of time to play with your pups! Whether it's a drop-in or daily walks, my schedule is flexible. I have experience training dogs to a high standard of behavior and will use positive reinforcement only. I believe cultivating a safe, positive environment is crucial for a pet's wellbeing!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Genesee Junction
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for a long time. I grew up surrounded by them, but I was lucky enough to work with them as well. I've worked in a Veterinary Hospital as a Kennel Attendant, as well as volunteered at dog rescues where I helped with rehabilitating dangerous large dogs. I've also worked at a doggie daycare center, where I was responsible for assigning dogs to play groups and monitoring their behavior to ensure their safety. Because of this, I've learned to effectively monitor dog behavior and body language to interpret when they are comfortable, scared, or need to be separated from other dogs. I have experience giving medications and insulin injections, and know how to be careful with older or injured dogs with limited mobility. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I would be by your dog's side all day. Because of this it can be time for walkies or running around in the fenced yard basically any time doggo needs it. The door to the yard connects to the main living room, so if they want to bounce between being inside and outside it's easy to do so. My son and I also enjoy going for stroller walks around the neighborhood, so doggo gets to tag along with us for that as well to get some sniffs in. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to sprint around, and can take them for walks around the neighborhood. If your pup still gets bored we can take a car ride and go for some walks on nearby nature trails. In my home your pup is welcome to lounge on the furniture with me, and could follow me around throughout the day if they were feeling clingy (like my dog). Dog toys are always scattered around the house, and your pup can help themselves. For boarding, dogs also sleep in the same bedroom as me so they will not be alone overnight. (Exceptions being the dog may sleep in a separate room if they have potty issues, as the bedroom is carpeted.) My standard poodle Eleanor will always be with us, and will occasionally want to play as well. She is typically pretty mellow (after initial meeting) and doesn't run around much, but occasionally she finds a dog she clicks with and will want to play chase with them around the yard if they reciprocate with her. Have an older dog? Don't worry, she is just as happy to lay around with them. ***We do have a baby in the home, which is important to note. Baby is never allowed to touch the guest doggos, and is never left unattended with your dog EVER. We may temporarily keep baby and dog separated in different rooms via a baby gate if the baby is crawling around as we get to know your dog and their reaction to the baby. I am very diligent when it comes to ensuring the safety and comfort of your dog while in the same house with a baby, and their interactions will be monitored and in most cases limited. If you know your dog is reactive to small children, please kindly understand our family home is not a good fit for them.
“Kiara is AMAZING!! I wish I could move her to LA with me. The best dog sitter I’ve had on rover and I use rover very often. As a helicopter dog mom, I would absolutely recommend Kiara to everyone! It was the best experience! Thank you Kiara!”

“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”
“Alex was a great host for daycare! He was able to accommodate our schedule, great communication throughout the process, provided daily updates and pictures of Milo's stay. Milo had a wonderful space to play and nap all day, would recommend for anyone needing services.”
About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.
“Haley and Amanda were great daycare hosts for our dog Jager! We booked a VERY last minute daycare with them and they were exceptional. Pickup and drop off were seamless, there was active communication throughout the day and photos of Jager playing with their dogs. 10/10 experience and I would absolutely book with her again. :)”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who knows that our pets our family. I am a senior dog owner to two puggles and they are treated like royalty. I provide reliable dog walking and pet sitting with plenty of care, patience and playtime. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra love while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm also comfortable feeding, light grooming (brushing), and giving extra snuggles if needed. I'd love to help you care for your furry friend like I do my own! I am currently getting a second masters degree online and I am home most of the time (info for pet parents who are looking for services). I take my dogs on lots of walks each day to get all of their sniffs in! I live in a townhouse and every time we go outside my dogs are on leashes. They go on about five walks a day. I would love to ensure your dog gets adequate exercise too!
“Marie did a great job with my dog with reactive tendencies. She is friendly, easy to work with, and has a great deal of knowledge of dog behavior which is helpful in addition to pet-sitting. I highly recommend Marie for dog care services.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have cared for several family dogs over the years, including American Akitas and a Husky and Australian Shepherd mix. I’m comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I recently graduated and am currently looking for a job, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends. I have plenty of time to provide pets with attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. I enjoy making sure pets stay active, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I have a comfortable home with plenty of trees, nearby walking trails, and a river area where dogs can enjoy outdoor time. Since my yard is not fenced, I always use a leash and supervise dogs during potty breaks and walks to make sure they stay safe. I also have my own cat, Eartha, who is friendly and enjoys meeting people. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and follow each owner’s instructions to provide the best care possible.
“Rachel provided kind, attentive and friendly care to my girl Lucy. She provided photos and updates on Lucy and how her day was going. I feel that my girl is in great hands and that I trust Rachel is giving Lucy all the love and attention she needs!”
“They weee both so loving toward my little Loki. He got all the snuggles and attention he could ask for. I loved seeing the pictures they sent and just how happy they all were. It shows how much they care for the animals they watch.”
About: I grew up around animals. I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, rabbits and fish throughout my life. I have also taken care of friends pets when they’ve gone out of town. I am comfortable with large and small dogs, cats, and caged animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children. I live on a quiet street in an apartment and look forward to walking with your dog at my home or yours. I am comfortable working with multiple kinds of collars and leashes.
About: Hi, my name is Lindsay and I’m an animal lover through and through. I grew up in a cat‑loving family with the most adorable tabby and Persian cats. One of our Persians, Sweetie, was especially close to me. She passed away a few years ago, and losing her truly broke my heart—she was with me for so long and gave me so many wonderful memories. I also spend a lot of time with my family’s dogs—a brown Labrador, a German Shorthaired Pointer, and a pair of Boston Terriers—and I always make sure to play with them whenever we’re together. Back in high school, my mom, sister, and I volunteered at our local humane society. We cleaned kennels and litter boxes, played with the animals, and gave them the affection and company they needed. I’ve also cared for many of my family’s and friends’ cats and dogs over the years, and there has never been a dull moment. Pets bring so much joy. A little about me: I love hiking, doodling, drinking coffee, playing mobile games, reading, and traveling. I enjoy spending time with my family, good friends, and—of course—fur babies. I’m flexible, easygoing, and always happy to hang out with pets who need love and attention. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them all the care and affection they deserve. I work part‑time from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I offer weekend boarding and weekday availability after my work hours. My yard is fully fenced and secure, giving your fur baby a safe place to play. My neighborhood has lots of sidewalks, so your pet will enjoy calm walks right outside my home.
About: I grew up on farms in the south, so I've been around animals my whole life. I moved to Rochester specifically because of how dog friendly it is. I think dogs deserve to be treated like family because they are our family! I work from home taking care of pets is my main job. If i could fill every hour of the week with animals, I would! I give every dog the time and attention they deserve. I have a fenced in back yard and a friendly dog of my own to keep yours company. I send pictures throughout the day to let you know how your pup is doing!
About: I've loved dogs since childhood and have always had one by my side. Right now, I have a toy poodle, so I understand the unique needs of small breeds firsthand—from their exercise requirements to their more delicate care compared to larger dogs. Because of this, I'm especially comfortable and confident caring for small dogs under 20 lbs. What sets me apart is the personal, hands-on experience I bring: I know how to read small dogs' body language, keep them calm around bigger animals, and give them the gentle, attentive care they thrive on. I'm patient, observant, and treat every dog like my own poodle—with genuine affection and close attention to their comfort and safety. I work from home. So I will be able to take care of your pet. If you have something on weekend or on Holiday then you can rely on me I have a toy poodle who is very friendly. He loves to play. If your pup is not aggresive then he will be safe here. I can give your food or my pets food.
“Super attentive, gave lots of updates through pictures and videos and to my shock got my very picky dog who almost never eats when he isn't home to have a meal! My boy was smiling ear to ear”
“Quinn took AMAZING care of Jose!! He loved being outside in her yard and playing with the other dogs. I received photos/videos every hour as well as updates on how he was adapting. I will definitely be taking him there again! Thanks Quinn!! 😊”

About: I had a cat for 20 years and cage aninals when i was young. I have owned a dog with anxiety so patience was key. He needed Medication for that and his hips. I own two cats and a hedgehog. My cats come to a whistle, know how to sit and lay down, go to their blanket where ever it is. My older cat is great in the car and the younger cat I am currently training. I cut their nails and bathe them myself. Both are leash trained. I handle my hedgehog daily so that he is well socialized. My cats never bothered the rats or the hedgehog when let out of the cages. They would sleep woth the dog when no one was home. I work 12 hour over night shifts for my regular job. I am looking for day time and, when off night time or overnight opertunities to fit my shifting schedule. I work in Macedon and live in West Henrietta so I am flexible with locations.

I previously owned rats, a dog, leopard gecko, and other caged animals Cages, boxes, bowls and, other cage items are cleaned daily as well as deep cleaning every 4 to 5 days or as needed. I enjoyed taking the dog as well as my cat for a walk! I have patience with animals with anxiety. I walk or handle pets that friends have such as snakes and birds.
“Joey was fantastic with my dog! He made sure that she was well-fed, walked, and had plenty of fun every time he visited her. He constantly kept me up to date with report cards and pictures. I would happily ask Joey to watch my dog again the next time I am out of town!”
“Alexandra was absolutely amazing with my Enzo. She was generous with her time and went above and beyond for me. It makes working long hours so much easier when you know your dog is being well cared for.”

“Christine has been AMAZING with my two babies. They love her dearly and I truly feel they are safe with her. I knew Christine was a perfect fit when my baby Mia, who’s standoffish at first let Christine pet her and Mia loved it. I’m so happy having Christine as a someone who cares for my babies. Thank you Christine😊”
About: In highschool I was very popular in my neighborhood from doing there dog nails, to dog sitting, over night stays, and even medications. Even back in high school I had a part time and school and still made sure the fur babies were taken care of. To this day I still dog sit for my neighbor. I also worked at a doggy daycare for about 6 months then i moved, I learned so much while I was there in that short period of time from learning to gain respect and how to control a group of 15+ dogs . And was in a animal science program in highschool with a mentorship at a clinic, then tried to go to college for my vet tech degree but too expensive(still paying that off). I also do have a very energetic German shepherd who I train every day she knows pretty much everything(sit, lay down, roll over,paw, other paw,high five, spin, heel, center, look, leave it, back up, and wait). I also dog sat for my boyfriend's coworker who had an older pointer who had a seziure not only did I comfort the dog but I called owner asap then vet, I then called off of work. Just because it's not my animal doesn't mean I will love them any less. But the take away from all that is I have a lot of experience in the animal department. I'm currently working part time and have a lot of free time on my hands and love being around animals . I only work wensday-saturday the other days I'm free. But as you can see with my profile I do have my own fur baby but my boyfriend never works nights or weekends so she won't be alone. For the pets at clients housing not only will I respond to you text asap even if I'm busy, I will also ask for guide lines and try to keep your dog on the schedule you have them on consistency is key, especially when a change like you leaving happens. I also am a big over thinker so before I let the dog out if you have a yard I will always make sure the gates are close and secure and make sure there's nothing laying out that would harm them. When I dog sit I imagine as if it's my own dog.
“Karibian is so friendly and dependable— I would recommend her to anyone needing pet services! She always sends me pictures and updates when she walks my pup, even making time to play with him some and give him pets before putting him back in his kennel after walking. Having her walk my pup makes me feel so much less stressed when I have to leave him for the day, because I know he will be loved on and that I can count on her! We are so glad we found Karibian!”

I follow any specific instructions from the pet parent, including feeding schedules, medication, and exercise needs.

I am more then happy to provide daily updates or photos of your pet during my time with them. Overall I want you and your pet to feel comfortable and safe putting your trust in me. Thanks for viewing my profile and I hope I'll meet you soon! I’m currently a grad student at SIU. So during school breaks I have availability. During school I can do nightly drop by visits and occasional walks. I currently own one cat. He has tons of toys and climbing spots in our home. He also goes on walks as I leash trained him when he was a kitten.
“Tiffany is great! She is very professional and just sweet as can be. Mya loved her! She taught me a few tricks for keeping Myas attention while on leash. She even left a little gift for Mya! She is the best walker on Rover I've used by far.”

“Through the pics Richardo sent, it looks like my gentlemen had a great time. I will be using Richardo again soon, as in next week! I highly recommend his service to anyone looking for a great sitter”
“Our dog had so much fun while staying at Debra’s over the weekend. She was able to run around in the yard and get in come cuddling time - which Debra sent photos of so we could see how well she was being taken care of. Thank you again! ?”
“We left our two small dogs with Alex for a three day weekend. This is the first time our dogs have not been with us and without any exaggeration, we could not have hoped for a better experience! One of our dogs has separation anxiety issues. Within a short time of being left there Alex had him relaxed and having fun playing and feeling comfortable in his unknown surroundings. We did leave both of them with Alex for a short three hour dog sitting session a few days before so it wasn’t totally unknown, this may have helped a bit. But Alex is a bit of a dog whisperer himself, and is very in tune to the dogs condition and needs. They gave us wonderful updates with videos and photos, as well as texts, keeping us up-to-date on what activities the dogs were involved with at the time. Which was very reassuring. They provide a wonderful environment for the animals.”
About: We’re a family of five who had plenty of love in our hearts and home to share with your furry friends ❤️ My husband and I both grew up with dogs. Additionally, I have also raised two dogs for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. We had to say goodbye to our beloved, old shitzu this past year. Our kids (12,10, and 5) are really missing having a dog around and we thought this would be a great next step for our family. Feel free to reach out with any questions! We would love the chance to keep your dog company 🐶 I am a homeschool mom, so my girls and I are home much of the time. My husband can work from home or pop home anytime as his work is just a mile from home. We seek to treat any animal and their owner with honesty, respect, and kindness. We are people of our word who can be counted on. We seek to keep our home a safe place for pets (and our kiddos) and would do our best to accommodate any needs your pet might have. References are always available for peace of mind.
“This was our first time using Rover and we would not hesitate to use Anthony and Jayson again! The communication was amazing and we got lots of pictures. We knew our girl was loved and cared for, and were at ease being so far away. She had a great time!”
“Kaitlyn was incredible! She was so welcoming during our meet & greet, and her dog Tucker was so sweet with our dog! We received several updates throughout Remi’s stay and I felt so confident leaving him in her care! She made sure she knew Remi’s routine and habits during the meet & greet and verified the details before his stay. It was a great experience and Remi loved her huge fenced in yard! We would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn, and would love to use her again in the future!”
“Cara and Dan are wonderful people! They took wonderful care of our dog while we were out at a wedding. If we lived in the area we’d ask them to care for our dog all the time! Thank you Cara and Dan!”
“We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog while we were out of town! Thomas took him on many adventures and sent photos every day showing us how he was doing and what they were up to. Highly recommend!!”
“Rebecca was great! Kept me updated and sent pictures multiple times a day. Our dog was well cared for and loved while we were away! Thank you so much for for caring for our baby!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong dog lover who knows that our pets our family. I am a senior dog owner to two puggles and they are treated like royalty. I provide reliable dog walking and pet sitting with plenty of care, patience and playtime. Whether your pup needs a quick potty break, a long walk, or some extra love while you're away, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm also comfortable feeding, light grooming (brushing), and giving extra snuggles if needed. I'd love to help you care for your furry friend like I do my own! I am currently getting a second masters degree online and I am home most of the time (info for pet parents who are looking for services). I take my dogs on lots of walks each day to get all of their sniffs in! I live in a townhouse and every time we go outside my dogs are on leashes. They go on about five walks a day. I would love to ensure your dog gets adequate exercise too!
“Had a great experience with Patrick. We had an unplanned trip for family reasons and had to find a sitter for Whiskey (1yo unfixed cav) a day before leaving. Patrick was very accommodating with this last minute booking and extending Whiskey's stay for another night. Whiskey had an awesome time playing with Moose. We got updates with pictures and videos. We're definitely going to book again for other trips”
“Amazing! Our first time using Rover and Amber set the bar! From the start, she made us feel comfortable leaving our puppy in her care. Very knowledgeable in puppy’s and their quirks. She is very communicative - from questions before booking, through booking changes, and while our pup was in her care - kept me posted on how he was doing and even provided pictures! Something that really helps a first time puppy mom! She also kept our puppy active which was great after a long trip - he slept the entire night and even slept in late!! We will for sure use her again and will be sharing her with our other dog friends! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I grew up around animals. I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, rabbits and fish throughout my life. I have also taken care of friends pets when they’ve gone out of town. I am comfortable with large and small dogs, cats, and caged animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children. I live on a quiet street in an apartment and look forward to walking with your dog at my home or yours. I am comfortable working with multiple kinds of collars and leashes.
“I have found a solid option for bookings for my pup Blaze. Luke, his wife and their 2 pups took great care of my guy. It looks like he had a great time staying with them and being part of the family for the day. I will be booking with them very often.”
