She went ABOVE AND BEYOND in caring for my babies! After picking my babies up and unpacking their bags, I noticed a small Thank You card with a coupon printed off for $5.00 off of my brand of dog food! How sweet is that!!! Their bowls were washed and she even gave them a bath to come home!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cheryl to anyone who wants the absolute BEST love and care for their baby!!!

I get up when they do, or can come ‘round in the morning to play with them or take them on walks, feed etc. Depending on your needs I can be more active or more hands off with their schedule. Doors of clients homes with be locked to their specifications, entry and exit of the home will be on their given schedule, animals will be secured with all equipment provided (collar types/harnesses/etc) and I promise to be vigilant and aware with their animal at all times.

“I'm a first time Rover user so I was new to the process and a little apprehensive, but I had nothing to be concerned about- Autumn was amazing! We had a meet and greet with her before our trip and she immediately made us comfortable about leaving the care of our kitties to her. It's clear she loves animals and our two 9 year old kitties loved her visits while we were out of town. She took great care of them and was extremely communicative with us the entire time. I will definitely request her services again in the future!!”
