“Vanessa was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our dog, Candy. She was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to understand Candy’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave us so much peace of mind. While we were away, Vanessa kept us updated daily with videos and pictures. Our kids were so excited every day to receive them, it really made the time apart so much easier and more enjoyable for the whole family. It was clear Candy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Vanessa truly went above and beyond to make sure Candy felt safe and loved. We would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with John. From the moment we dropped our pup off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in caring and capable hands. Communication was great throughout and Cookie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which says everything. It’s obvious that every dog is treated like family and in a clean and safe space. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend John to anyone looking for trustworthy care for their pet!”
“Samantha has taken such great care of our fur babies. She is caring and loves them like they were her own pets. I can always count on her to give them the attention they need. They are both senior dogs and need special attention and care. I would not hesitate to use her when we need her services. I would highly recommend her any time.”
“Sara and her family are wonderful! Our dog Ember has stayed with her many times over the last few years and always has a great time. Sara sends frequent updates and I always feel comfortable knowing that Ember is getting amazing care. Thank you Sara :)”
About: I have 2.5 years of experience working as a veterinarian assistant for a family-owned and operated animal hospital. Aspects of my job include restraining, handling, medicating, feeding, grooming, bathing, and caring for any pets who may board with us at the hospital. I have comfortably handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, needs, and temperaments, and I am confident in my ability to care for dogs of all life stages. My schedule is extremely flexible and I am never away from home for more than four hours any day of the week, which means plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime, and feedings. I have a fully enclosed, insulated, temperature controlled, spacious gazebo on my property surrounded by a pet-proof fenced-in playpen. The inside is divided into four sections, so I can board up to four dogs no bigger than 40lbs at one time, and each pet will have his or her own space indoors for eating and sleeping. Outside, the pets will be able to interact and play, and they will always be supervised.
“Kerri was a fantastic sitter for my active lab. She kept me updated and sent tons of pictures daily of him having the time of his life. They cared for him as if he was their own and I couldn’t be more grateful. Macallan cannot wait to stay with Kerri and her family again!”
“Kristin took wonderful care of our puppy, Scruffy for two days while my family and I were away. Kristin sent us photos and videos of Scruffy and was always available to respond quickly to our messages. Our puppy was in great hands while we were away. I will definitely look to board Scruffy with Kristin again on our next trip!”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”
“Sal’s 3rd stay with Theresa. He literally pulls me to the door when I drop him off. She is fantastic and Sal gets plenty of exercise with her. I will be back again”
“Yaina is so thoughtful and caring we will trust her with our pup anytime! She gave frequent updates and cared for our dog like her own. We cannot thank her enough for making the first time we left our dog for vacation absolutely stress free. Would and will recommend her to anyone.”
“Dawn took such good care of our pup for a week. We received daily pictures and it looked like he was having a blast with all the other dogs. She also accommodated us last minute when we extended our vacation an extra day. We have a few more weekend trips coming up - will definitely be using Dawn as a sitter.”
“Trisha was great, she kept us in the loop with pictures and texts the whole evening. It was the first time we left our dog Jax who’s 1-1/2 old boxer with tons of energy. Thank you Trisha and we will definitely leave Jax with again and again.”
“Chief had a wonderful time with Jennifer and her family. He was well taken care of and we received lots of communication and pictures/videos. We look forward to Chief's next visit with Jennifer.”
“Jaret watched our dog Maya for 2 nights for our wedding. He was very responsive and kept us updated with photos of videos of of her throughout her stay. He also communicated his schedule very well and allowed us to have a meet and greet prior to her overnight stay. We will definitely use him in the future & highly recommend him!”
“Gabby is wonderful. She cared for our dog for the first time for 6 days and it went really well. My dog is older and prefers a quiet setting so Gabby was a perfect fit as she only cared for one other dog during the stay which was perfect. She communicates daily (including pictures) and gives her guests lots of attention. I'll definitely use Gabby again!”
“Veronique took such great care of my pup! He had the absolute best time. She really treated him like a little prince. There were so many adorable pic and video updates of him playing, socializing with her dogs, lounging around comfortably and being pampered. I highly recommend her if you want the best care for your dog.”

“Sam is the absolute best! I feel very comfortable leaving my dog and cat with her, and letting her into my home. She has amazing communication and sends me plenty of photos and videos during her visit! Will definitely be rebooking for any time that I’ll need her in the future”

“Taylor did a great job checking in on my cat Emma! She sent detailed updates and several pictures every day which really put me at ease, especially because Emma can be an anxious cat. I definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of a number pets throughout my life. I grew up with small terriers and had fish too. Friends animals were always like my own. I adopted my beloved cat Calvin when I was 21 and last December, 11 years later, he passed away leaving a hole in my heart. He had many health problems such as asthma and IBS, for which he was on several daily medications. This taught me to administer oral medication in pill pockets and use an inhaler attachment for him. I miss being around animals in general now that he’s been gone. I am looking so much forward to being able to provide boarding in my lakeside home. I love the company of a cat. They’re special animals with an attitude all their own and have a special in my heart. I’d love to be able to care for yours today!

“Olivia did a great job! She went above and beyond taking care of our cats! We are very happy to have found her. She sent pictures and notes each day with updates. Our vacation was worry free thanks to her!”

I also have experience giving medications if need be. Since I've moved to Suffolk county I'm looking to find some friendly dogs that need some love and attention during the day while you are at work or away!

“Jenna was very good with Travis. It is our 1st time using Rover and I was hesitant as Travis has become very attached to us due to pandemic. Also, 2 years ago we boarded him for 2 weeks and when we came back he was traumatized. We just got home and Travis is well and happy! We are extremely happy with Jenna and will definitely utilize her again and recommend her wholeheartedly.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was young and I have always loved doing it! I myself have one cat and one dog. I’m working part-time and in school, so I am doing this on the side as an extra source of income as a college student and a way to express my love and passion towards animals. My job is in its slow season for the next couple of months, so my schedule is very open besides classes. I can tend to any needs necessary for your pets. I am willing to go above and beyond to meet your animals needs and make sure they are comfortable when being in my care, and I will always let you know if they are not.
“Emma and Trent did a great job caring for my two cats. They were happy when I returned and they were able to successfully get Delilah to take her meds every morning. I would use them again!”

“Theresa was a great dog sitter very attentive and caring. She sent updates, which I really appreciated, and my pup was clearly happy and well taken care of.She didn’t even want to leave when I picked her up! I would definitely use her again.”
About: From reptiles to horses, i've been working in animal hospitals, hotels, petsitting and rescues for more than half my life. Love every type of animal and treat them always like my own. I have been in this industry for about 18years. It’s truly a passion of mine to ensure the best care is provided and to give owners peace of mind when they have to leave their pets or be able to help those who have never had to care for a hurt/sick fur baby. I have an American bully named Apex, a cat named Whiskey, 2 conures and a ball python. I am no stranger to the care and comfort needs of all breeds and species of animals. They are all loved and cared for diligently to make sure they feel at home and comfortable in any surrounding
“Wonderful family and adorable doodle! Our puppy loves seeing them for day care each week. We couldn’t have found a better family, situation to help us with our puppy while we transitioned back to the office. I HIGHLY recommend Alicia and Jermaine - and their doodle! Our little guy has learned good traits from their pup! They really are the best!”
“Marcia took amazing care of our Golden Retriever Kennedy! Highly recommend and would love for her to watch Kennedy again. Kennedy had so much fun playing in their lovely yard and came home happy and tired!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. I currently own four dogs: two adult Belgian Malinois, a German Shepherd puppy, and a senior Shih Tzu mix. I have crate trained and potty trained multiple puppies and am familiar with the time, patience, and consistency required for successful training. Through caring for both high-energy working breeds and senior dogs, I have experience managing different exercise needs, routines, temperaments, and levels of care. I am committed to providing a safe, structured, and positive environment for every dog in my care. I am home most of the time and provide full-time care for the dogs in my home. Because I am available throughout the day, dogs receive regular supervision. I have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely go outside for potty breaks and exercise. I am comfortable reinforcing crate training when needed and believe crates are a valuable tool for safety and routine. My own dogs are crate trained and are crated when they cannot be directly supervised to ensure their safety and prevent unwanted behaviors. I provide a structured, safe, and supervised environment while making sure each dog receives plenty of attention, care, and opportunities to play and relax.
About: For over 15 years, I’ve been the trusted companion for pets of all shapes and sizes—offering belly rubs, playtime, and plenty of love while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to wise old souls, I understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, petting and brushing sessions, or keeping up with special care routines, I treat every furry friend like family. With decades of experience and a true passion for animals, you can leave your pet in my care with complete peace of mind. Because to me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s a lifelong love. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to play with your extended family members. I’m available for day time walks, as needed, and full boardings during the week, after 3pm, and most weekends. I am flexible with the boarding times as well so if you need me earlier, I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fully fenced in yard about 1/4 of an acre for your family member to stretch their legs and run around. I have one friendly mini schnauzer, Molly, that I am the proud owner of. I can easily crate your dog if needed or if your furry pal needs some time alone I have plenty of space within my home that they are allowed to freely roam. Sometimes this is needed from first meetings because, not unlike people, dogs may take time to get acclimated to one another. I do require a first meet before agreeing to take on new clients for the safety of myself, Molly and my home.
About: I've always had a special connection with dogs. Ever since primary school, I volunteered to walk all my neighbors' dogs and would stay to play with them for hours—tug-of-war and frisbee were our favorites. I've walked dogs of all sizes, sometimes up to three at a time. Getting my own puppy was the best thing in the world for me, and I naturally have endless patience for animals. Throughout college, I walked and sat for my piano professor's dog for years—around the neighborhood, and I also drove him to dog parks and beaches. On top of that, I've volunteered at an animal shelter, cleaning dog and cat rooms and socializing with the animals. I currently can't have a dog of my own because I fly in and out for work. That's why I'm doing this part-time — it's never an assembly line for me. Each dog gets my full, individual attention, and I truly make friends with every one of them. I'm a sound designer and composer working on contract-based stage productions, which gives me a flexible schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I walk dogs at least three times a day, feed them as many times as requested, and make sure they get plenty of playtime outside of my work hours. Since I'm not working a rigid 9-to-5, I can easily adjust my day around each dog's needs, whether that means extra cuddles, a longer walk, or a spontaneous trip to the dog park. Plus, because I fly in and out for work and can't have my own dog right now, caring for other people's dogs is something I genuinely look forward to and prioritize every single day. I live in a first-floor condo apartment in a neighborhood with lots of green areas — perfect for dogs who love quick potty breaks and longer sniffing walks. I let dogs free roam throughout my home and they're absolutely allowed on furniture. I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means lots of freedom, comfort, and attention. Since I do this part-time, I never have more than two unfamiliar dogs at once, so each dog gets a calm, focused environment. I'm extremely respectful of their space and routines — I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions to the letter, and I always leave things cleaner than I found them.
“Donna was great with our boy. She was so accommodating to him even though he was a little nervous in a new place. Donna responded immediately to any of my messages and took great care of our puppy. Thank you again Donna!”
About: I have been an animal lover ever since I was a child! I have raised puppies, cared for senior cats and dogs, administered medicines, owned many small animals (rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters and gerbils) and even raised a puppy for the Guide Dog Foundation. I love all animals and will feed any stray that comes to my door as well! I will care for and treat your pets as if they were my own. I work from home so I am available to take care of your babies while you are at work, out of the house or away on vacation I have a large fenced in yard, I love to go on walks and am responsible and respectful when in other peoples homes. I will care for your animals with as much love and care as you would. I will follow your pets routine and care for them as my own.
About: I love all dogs! They are all so funny, each with their own fun personalities. I love to go for walks with the dogs, sometimes 2 at a time! When your pup is in my care my focus is on keeping them safe and happy! I am retired from working so I like to say that I am a stay at home dog Mom! When I am watching your dog, there is nothing more important to me than your fur baby’s safety and happiness. Since I am home full time I am available for your pup 24/7! I do occasionally leave the house but usually not longer than an hour or two. I have a large fenced in yard and a sweet, fun 2 year old Lab mix who loves to play with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have a 5 month old grand puppy and Reba loves playing with her!
“I can’t say enough great things about Veronique and Jonathan! They were amazing with my puppy, Oakley, providing her with exceptional doggy day care. They kept her active, engaged, and ensured she was well taken care of throughout the day. It was such a relief to know Oakley was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care!”
“This was Layla's 4th stay with Dan and Denise and she absolutely loves it! After the first visit, each time we pulled into the driveway she realized where she was and was so excited she practically jumped out of the car when she saw Dan. She loves their house and playing with furry friends so much that she actually cries on the way home!! I couldn't believe my ears! She comes home all tired out from playing all day and it gives me peace of mind when I can't be with her in times of work, parties, etc. Thank you Dan and Denise!!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. From playful puppies and cuddly kittens to senior pets who need extra attention, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I work at a local Emergency Veterinary Center for more than 2 years. I have rode and cared for horses most of my life. I work part time and I have a flexible schedule to help care for your fur babies. I look forward to taking care of your treasured pets. I have 3 pets at home, 2 dogs and a cat. I care for them daily. I walk my dogs and I also have been active in dog training, with my dog. This helps me when I walk dogs not familiar to me.
“Ava helped me walk my pup while I was sick. She was very kind and attentive. She took photos of their walk and let me know important details! I will definitely be contacting Ava again for help with dog walking some time:)”
“This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier. Courtney was great with my dog. Very communicative and caring. I will be using her again in the future!!”
About: I used to walk dogs and dog sit in the past. I have my own dog and I have a family member who does boarding. I am constantly around all different types of dogs and I know how to handle each dog’s personality. I am currently in school and was looking for a job that would be flexible and thought this would be a great because I have done it in the past and loved it and I can work around my schedule. When dog walking I would usually meet the client and the dog first just to go over what they would like me to do like we’re the leash or treats is located, how long they want the walks and what the personality of the dog is like.
“John is a really great guy and is fantastic with our two dogs (2 Boxers), even taking the time to work on some training for our unruly 11 year old puppy. He is very prompt and courteous. Highly recommended to all.”

About: I have a B.S. in animal science with the goal of going to veterinary school. I have experience as a vet assistant in a small animal hospital, as well as a variety of animal experiences. I was a part of a college club training future guiding eyes for the blind dogs, where I also became a certified sitter for Guiding Eyes for the blind. I owned and cared for a Shih Tzu for 15 years and have watched friends' and family's dogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to walk and play with your dogs! I'm available all day on weekends and on Wednesdays. I am currently available on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 11:30 am. Your pet will be well supervised with plenty of affection. I have a bachelor's degree in animal science and experience as a veterinary assistant, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with different needs, personalities, and medical routines.
About: I’ve been a dog mom for 15 years and a professional dog walker and sitter for 8 years. I know how stressful it can be finding someone you trust to care for your furry family member, so my goal is to make you feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I provide loving, reliable care, plenty of attention, and photo updates upon request so you always know your pup is happy and cared for! Pets thrive on routine because it helps them feel safe, secure, and less anxious. Consistent schedules for walks, feeding, playtime, and attention help dogs stay emotionally balanced and comfortable, especially when their owners are away. I care for pets in their home by keeping them on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of love and attention, along with photo updates to keep you reassured.
About: Growing up, my family always had a house full of dogs and cats of every size, breed, and personality — and we often fostered strays, too! From an early age, I learned hands-on skills like training techniques, behavioral understanding, and basic at-home vet care. Over time, I developed a calm, intuitive approach that helps me connect with almost any animal I meet (and I’m always happy to prove it!). In middle and high school, I spent weekends volunteering at my local animal shelter, CNY SNAP in Cortland, NY. As an adult, I continued rescuing and rehoming cats and dogs until a few years ago when I welcomed my daughter. Now that she’s a bit older, I’m thrilled to be back doing what I love — caring for animals of all kinds. I understand that not every pet instantly warms up to new people, and that’s totally okay. I never force affection — instead, I read their cues, respect their boundaries, and build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is shy, playful, senior, or special-needs, I’ll meet them where they are and give them the care and patience they deserve. Reliability and safety are my top priorities. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own — leaving things clean, tidy, and often better than I found them. I value your privacy and always maintain discretion about your space and schedule. I’m detail-oriented and take note of the little things that make a big difference — from following feeding routines precisely to keeping track of any changes in your pet’s behavior. I’m also big on communication: you’ll receive thoughtful, photo-filled updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and cared for. Clients have described me as calm, reliable, and attentive — someone they can truly trust. My goal is always to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I work from home on my own time so I have open availability! Weekends welcomed, and most holidays as well! I do my best to keep my schedule updated. While I can’t host pets in my own home (lease restrictions), I’m proud to provide an exceptional experience for both you and your pet in your home. I treat every home and animal with the highest level of care and respect, ensuring a calm, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s care plan to the letter — feeding, medication, walks, bedtime routines, and all the little details that make them feel secure. I also go above and beyond to leave your space in great condition (because let’s be honest, a little pet mess is part of the fun!). If any questions or concerns arise, I’ll always reach out before taking any steps we haven’t discussed. I believe in clear, consistent communication and earning trust through reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for what I do. And of course — all the cuddles and playtime are included, free of charge! ⭐ Please Note: I may occasionally have my five-year-old daughter with me for overnight stays. This will always be discussed ahead of time during our meet and greet to make sure you’re completely comfortable.
“Can’t say enough good things about Kayla! She was so accommodating with her schedule, amazing with updates both on her arrival/pictures of Emmy and just overall so sweet. We will definitely recommend her to anyone and be using her again ☺️”
About: I've had a family dog all my life and brought home a dog of my own a few years ago. I have previously worked in a store that handled puppies and had them available for purchase and adoption while also working alongside a groomer so I have a background in bathing all different-sized dogs. I also have dog-sat for family and friends over the past few years and loved doing it! My family and I have also participated with the Guide Dog Foundation and have fostered puppies and young adult dogs. While I don't have an official background in dog training, I have taught my dog all the commands he knows now, and I have helped friends with training their dogs as well such as sit, stay, lay down, etc. I have a deep connection with dogs as well as most animals and truly love them all! I am currently working a part-time job while going to school full time but my schedule allows me to be available on the weekends as well as various times throughout the day on weekdays. I have a big yard with two sides for the dogs to get out their zoomies, both sides of the yard are fenced. I have two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. If your pet needs to be crated that is easily feasible in my house.

“Vanessa was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for our dog, Candy. She was kind, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took the time to understand Candy’s routine, personality, and needs, which gave us so much peace of mind. While we were away, Vanessa kept us updated daily with videos and pictures. Our kids were so excited every day to receive them, it really made the time apart so much easier and more enjoyable for the whole family. It was clear Candy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Vanessa truly went above and beyond to make sure Candy felt safe and loved. We would highly recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“Had such a wonderful experience with John. From the moment we dropped our pup off, we felt completely at ease knowing she was in caring and capable hands. Communication was great throughout and Cookie came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which says everything. It’s obvious that every dog is treated like family and in a clean and safe space. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend John to anyone looking for trustworthy care for their pet!”
“Samantha has taken such great care of our fur babies. She is caring and loves them like they were her own pets. I can always count on her to give them the attention they need. They are both senior dogs and need special attention and care. I would not hesitate to use her when we need her services. I would highly recommend her any time.”
“Kerri was a fantastic sitter for my active lab. She kept me updated and sent tons of pictures daily of him having the time of his life. They cared for him as if he was their own and I couldn’t be more grateful. Macallan cannot wait to stay with Kerri and her family again!”
“Kristin took wonderful care of our puppy, Scruffy for two days while my family and I were away. Kristin sent us photos and videos of Scruffy and was always available to respond quickly to our messages. Our puppy was in great hands while we were away. I will definitely look to board Scruffy with Kristin again on our next trip!”
“Rachel and Henrik (and their two wonderful kids!) watched our two Goldendoodles for the weekend, and we couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start, it was clear this was a perfect fit—we did a meet-and-greet beforehand, and instantly felt comfortable. Their home is beautiful, clean, and has a great backyard where our dogs had plenty of space to run and play. More importantly, our dogs were treated like part of the family—they got tons of attention, snuggles, and care all weekend. We also really appreciated the frequent updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. When we dropped them off, our dogs were so excited they ran right in without hesitation—that says everything. You can truly tell how much Rachel and Henrik love dogs and care for them as their own. One of the nicest families we’ve met, and we felt completely at ease knowing our dogs were so well cared for. We will absolutely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional dog care.”

I highly recommend her if you want the best care for your dog.”
“Laurie and her family took amazing care of our dogs, Blue and Sky, overnight.

I work closely with both pets and their owners to provide training, exercise, structure, and companionship.

“Rocko had a great time with Alejandro and even made new friends. Alejandro sent me videos every day of Rocko playing with his new friends. I highly recommend Alejandro and will definitely use him in the future.”
About: For over 15 years, I’ve been the trusted companion for pets of all shapes and sizes—offering belly rubs, playtime, and plenty of love while their owners are away. From energetic puppies to wise old souls, I understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s long walks, petting and brushing sessions, or keeping up with special care routines, I treat every furry friend like family. With decades of experience and a true passion for animals, you can leave your pet in my care with complete peace of mind. Because to me, pet sitting isn’t just a job—it’s a lifelong love. I’m currently working part-time. So I’ll have plenty of time to play with your extended family members. I’m available for day time walks, as needed, and full boardings during the week, after 3pm, and most weekends. I am flexible with the boarding times as well so if you need me earlier, I’m sure we can work something out. I have a fully fenced in yard about 1/4 of an acre for your family member to stretch their legs and run around. I have one friendly mini schnauzer, Molly, that I am the proud owner of. I can easily crate your dog if needed or if your furry pal needs some time alone I have plenty of space within my home that they are allowed to freely roam. Sometimes this is needed from first meetings because, not unlike people, dogs may take time to get acclimated to one another. I do require a first meet before agreeing to take on new clients for the safety of myself, Molly and my home.
“Iris w/her husband took care of my two pups Mia & Milo the last 5 days. They took such great care of them. Milo still a puppy at 13 months & Mia a 10.5. They handled them both with such care. With special instructions for Mia’s medicine to my hyper playful puppy seeking attention often. Iris sent pictures & videos showing me how happy & content they were! They’ll be back with Iris in just a few short days again! I’m so happy that I feel 💯 at ease knowing they’re in great hands!! Highly recommend Iris taking care of your fur babies too.”
