Personalized care for your dog or cat - Halifax
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Halifax
“Nova seemed very comfortable staying with Jaideep and family. He sent several updates a day and it was very nice knowing that she was happy with them. I am rebooking for another trip and definitely feel better knowing she is in good hands.”
“They are very sweet! We got pics of our dog everyday from them and were very prompt about responding to any questions/concerns throughout the time our dog was boarded with them.”
“We needed a last-minute sitter while traveling out of state, since our hotel didn’t allow pets. Steffany and Juan were amazing from start to finish—so kind, professional, and accommodating. They kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Our puppy Mocha had the best time playing with their big dogs and came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services!”
“The most outstanding sitters of all time. They truly took care of my dog like he was their own, gave me constant updates and always made sure my dog felt comfortable happy and healthy no matter what the extent. They really out did themselves! :)”
“Goose was so happy after his overnight stay with Oleg! He was able to play and get lots of love at his house. Oleg was responsive and flexible with us to make it a pleasant experience for us just as much as it was for Goose!”
“Pam & Michael were excellent hosts of my babies! My 2 girls loved their stay with them and Pam & Michael provided updates to me on them daily while I was gone. I'd highly recommend them for anyone to leave their dogs with!”
“Kathy took great care of my cat! It was my cat Lydia's first time staying somewhere new, and she made herself right at home at Kathy's. Kathy was very attentive and responsive, and Lydia loved watching the birds on the deck! I would definitely recommend Kathy and would book her for Lydia again.”
“Bobbi was fantastic with our dog. She was responsive, reliable, and took such great care of our pup. It is rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own. We highly recommend her.”
“Angel is the complete package. She sends you status updates with pictures, videos, and itineraries. She follows instructions like special diets to a T and has super sweet and friendly dogs for additional companionship for your pup.”
“Sujeong was excellent in sending pictures and communicated very well. Our pups played together well. I'd definitely have her watch our puppy and highly recommend!!”
“I am so pleased to have found Heather to watch my two pups! They absolutely loved her, her husband, home and their time there. I loved that my pups got to sleep in bed with them, as they do with me. She sent me photos and updates and she did great handling all their medications and health issues. I would absolutely recommend! My dogs were happy when I returned but almost seemed sad to leave! Lol”
“Letisia was absolutely amazing with my bulldog!! My bulldog is older and requires very special care. I was given updates daily and she took very good care of Rocky. Will definitely book with again when going away!”
“Josie and her family were very welcoming of Clove. I asked for a meet and greet since this is our first time booking her service. Our dog immediately got so excited to meet everyone that she did zoomies in their yard. We received daily updates through photos, videos and texts of how she was doing. We knew that she had a wonderful time since she came back home happy and tired. We will definitely rebook with her!”
“Michelle is the best! She gave us daily progress reports and pictures. She took care of Papi like family. She even brushed his teeth. Papi is usually afraid of everything and everyone, but warmed up to Michelle and her dog, Emmy, quickly. She gave us such peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and will use her again.”
“My pup had a very pleasant stay. Anton communicates promptly and seemed very knowledgible about petcare. My pup came home calm and content. Will surely use him again.”
“Elizabeth is amazing with my dog Louie. He has been turned down at quite a few places because of his pretty severe anxiety. Elizabeth took her time with him, allowed me to set up a meet and greet an did three separate days with him before my vacation when he would be spending 6 days with her. He did great and Elizabeth kept me updated the entire time. She obviously has experience with all types of behavioral and health needs and it is clear how much she cares for and loves animals. I am grateful I found her and Louie has definitely become a regular with her. Now that he is home I can tell how much fun he had while I was away and as an owner of an anxious pitbull, there is no better feeling than knowing that!”
“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! We have a 13 week old golden retriever. So it was our first time leaving her. He made us feel so comfortable during our vacation that our fur baby was being taken care of every minute we were away. The many pictures we got every day made it clear she was loving playing with Ryan’s dog and felt at home with his family! Communication was perfect. Response time was great. Accommodations were fantastic. We definitely will be using Ryan again for our boarding needs!!”
“Rodger was amazing with our geriatric Golden Retriever (14 years old!). Albus was kept in constant comfort and very much enjoyed spending time with Roger's older Golden, Bailey. I got regular photo and text updates throughout our trip. We will use Rodger againn!”

“Paul was wonderful! We were looking for a pet sitter last minute and he came through. Followed our instructions perfectly and sent updates including photos and videos with every drop-in visit. I could tell from the videos that my cat loved having him around. Thank you, Paul!”
About: I've always had dogs and cats in our home growing up, and I have more than 30 years of pet-care experience, from puppies and kittens to elder-pet care. I have 2 cats and 1 dog that live in our house. Zoey is my dog, Archie and Theo are 2 orange cats and are brothers. I have more than enough rooms if your pet needs their own space, I can even give them their own room if necessary. I am happy to accommodate any pet's needs, to ensure that they have a safe and happy time.
“Katlyn took great care of our Bentley, kept us informed, sent great pics- made us more at ease with this being the first time being away from him for so long. We will definitely book with her again.”
About: I have had a minimum of 2 cats in my house for the last 16 years. I love all of their different personalities-from sweet to spicy. While I was recently a manager at a dog daycare for 5 years before moving states, I always came home to my 2 cats, Stormi and Bolt. I would absolutely love to take care of your precious fur babies!!
About: I have several pets of my own. Over the years I have volunteered with shelters as well as taking care of my own animals. I have dealt with bigger dogs, small dogs, and lots of cats! I love animals and will do whatever I can to ensure a happy and healthy environment! I currently work part time over the summers in Pennsylvania and go to school in Ohio over the rest of the year. I can work in both places, it just depends on what time of year. My account will have my area provided for which one for whichever time of year. Normally I have a 8 hour shift, I do have a couple days off a week and still have plenty of time before and after work to take care of animals. I also have my lunch break. I will follow whatever instructions are provided by the client. I will stick to any dietary needs, exercise needs, and any attention needs the animal has. I am willing to clean litter boxes if it is a cat and obviously I will pick up after a dog on a walk. I keep a very close eye on the animal(s) and make it my primary focus when taking care of them.
“Steffany took great care of my 2 cats! She provided frequent updates and photos, and made sure they were tended to. Her beautiful chocolate lab was very good with my cats as well. Hopefully it will help ease their nervousness around dogs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have had the pleasure of caring for dogs of various breeds and sizes, providing attentive and loving care while their owners were away. My responsibilities have included feeding, administering medications (if required), walking, playing, and ensuring the dogs' overall well-being. I have a strong understanding of canine behavior, ensuring that each dog feels comfortable and safe in my care. I also make it a priority to follow any specific instructions from the owner, such as dietary needs or special routines. Through my dog sitting experience, I have developed excellent communication skills with both pets and owners, ensuring a positive experience for all involved. I’m currently working full time Monday-Thursday/Friday. My work hours are typically from 6AM until 3:30/4 PM. I can easily care for dogs after work, as well as before if an overnight is requested. I have 2 Golden retrievers myself, so I am used to playing fetch for hours as long as nice walks at the end of the day.
About: I have two cats of my own. I’ve had them my whole life. The one is about to be 16 soon and he needs to wear a diaper whenever he’s roaming the house. Both of our cats were saved from the streets from a young age and we cared for them and still have them. I also go to college for animal studies and have kennel duties that require me to clean the cat room where theres like 10 cats in a night room. So, I know how to care for many cats at one time and for cats that need special treatment as well.
“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Amanda was absolutely incredible caring for our 8 cats. She was so professional, respectful, loving, and nurturing of our fur kids and our home. We were deeply impressed and touched by her dedication and kindness to our babies, especially when several of them require medication twice daily. She handled all of them beautifully. We can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Great experience with amber ! Last minute booking , she came right over and introduced herself. Was on time for every visit. Did extra with our pups , truly went above and beyond. If you are looking to book with somebody , Amber is your go to. Very communicative , very knowledgeable, and passionate about all of our four legged babies ! Will be booking again !!!”
About: I’ve taken care and lover of cats my entire life. Experienced with feeding schedules, fresh water, and liter box maintenance. Experienced with multi cat households, shy cats, and cats with dietary needs
About: Hello, I’m Destiny! 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Wildlife Biology, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior, welfare, and the importance of providing compassionate, attentive care to every animal I meet. I grew up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who loves adventure, a senior dog who needs extra patience, or a pet who simply enjoys a consistent routine and lots of affection, I take the time to understand their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As both an educator and animal lover, I bring patience, reliability, and strong attention to detail to every pet I care for. I understand that every animal is unique, and I pride myself on creating a safe, positive environment where pets can feel relaxed and loved while their owners are away. When your pet is with me, they will receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I enjoy spending time outdoors, making walks and adventures fun and engaging, while also respecting the routines and comfort levels that help pets feel at home. ❤️ I know how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your pet. That’s why I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and receiving the same level of care I would give my own. My goal is simple: to make your time away stress free while ensuring your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cared for every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! 🐶🐱 Availability: ✨ 🌅🍃🦋 I’m available for morning walks and drop-ins at anytime and am willing to stay overnight, as well as evenings. Weekends are fully open and flexible for walks, playtime, or overnight care! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and deeply cared for like they’re in their own little sanctuary. I approach each animal with patience and gentleness, allowing them to build trust at their own pace and always honoring their unique personality. I create a calm, nurturing space where they can relax, play, and be themselves, keeping their routines consistent so everything feels familiar and comforting. From cozy rest spots and mindful walks to soft words and loving attention.
About: I received my Bachelor's Degree in Animal Studies from Wilson College. I was a Kennel Technician at a boarding facility as well as a doggy daycare for a few years. I am currently a Veterinary Assistant at an Animal Clinic. I enjoy taking care of animals and providing the best care. I work full time during the week, but I am available weekends and can provide pet care during the evenings after work depending on location. Depending on the needs of the animal, I will provide the proper care as per the owners request. I like to know specific details to make everyone feel comfortable.
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.
About: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Halifax
About: I have cared for my family's pets for over 30 years, I love meeting new animals and getting to know their personality! I have experience at every stage of a pet's life, from puppies and kittens to elder pets. I have experience administering mediation, caring to your pet's specific needs, assisting disabled pets, training puppies and crate training. I am dedicated to being a caring and thoughtful pet-sitter. I love animals and can't wait to meet your special friend! I currently have 1 dog and 2 cats. My dog, Zoey, is a 2-year-old puppy that I got at 12 weeks old, so my puppy training skills are fresh! I also have 2 cats, Archie and Theo, who are brother cats from the same litter. I've had them since they were kittens. Zoey grew up with the cats, so she is well trained with cats and she is very well behaved. Zoey and the cats get along with other animals very well. They are sweet, loving pets that play together and nap side-by-side. I work from home full time, so I am always at the house. I am very flexible to whatever your pet's routine is. Whatever they need, I can incorporate it into my day. At booking, I will provide a questionnaire and you can advise me of any needs or requests for your pet's routine, and I will make their routine a part of mine! In my home, I provide pets with several comfortable areas for them to lounge and sleep in, with bedding and blankets. I also provide several toys and chew toys that are usually left out for them to play with (unless requested not to). Meals are kept on schedule and any mediation or vitamins are administered on-time. Water is always filtered and clean, changed daily (or use a continuous running system). Safety is my top priority. I want to ensure that your pet has a safe and relaxing time during their stay, I will provide a separate room for your animal if needed or requested, with their own bedding and play-area. I have several rooms in the house that are not used, so I keep this space reserved for your pets. I will collect your vet information at booking and take your pet to their vet if necessary; I also am a member of the local Dauphin County Animal Hospital, which I can use if needed for emergencies. I will maintain communication with you and check-in daily with photos; I am also open to take any inquiries, if you would like to check-in on your pets.
“I had to make a last minute trip and was worried about my girl being alone since I wasn’t optimistic there would be anyone to take her as a last minute. Fortunately, Jaideep responded back quickly and said he’d take care of her. The communication was great and he sent many pictures and updates throughout the day. My Luna looked like she was having a blast and looked calm. I will definitely be asking for Jaideep’s help with Luna again in the future.”

I am very accommodating to your fur babies. I am very skilled with giving medicine to dogs and cats as I have to do this with my babies.

“Rosa was very good with my dog missi. She sent me a lot of pictures throughout the day which was wonderful because I was able to know what my dog was up to she also responds very quickly which I thought was amazing. I can tell that my dog had a lot of fun and will definitely be sleeping good tonight.”
“Jessica was a godsend. We needed daycare for my beagle for 2 days and Jessica was able to accommodate. We were able to enjoy Hershey without worrying about our fur baby. Thank u.”
“We are new to the area and this is the first time we have used Anton. My dog Lancelot enjoyed his visit and received a warm welcome and he felt relaxed upon the meet and greet. Right from the start he made Lancelot feel comfortable and he felt right at home. Anton is very responsive and kind and he sends updates with photos. Knowing your pet is cared for makes me enjoy my time away even more! I have already booked another visit with Anton. Thank you Anton!”
About: Grew up with dogs in the family. A collie and a husky. Currently have a beagle that is 6 years old. Had her since she was 9 weeks old. We walk every day. Care is a high consideration on very cold days as well as hot and humid summer afternoons. I don't work during the summer months. Have time to care for a pet for someone or a family who needs help so they can plan a vacation or time away. Or for those who have a demanding time schedule. I only have one pet, dog, in the house. A fenced in yard and a wireframe crate that is 2 feet x 3 feet and about 2 - 2.5 feet high.
“Not sure where to start here, We had Kayla stay at our house just during the day to watch my boyfriend's Service Dog Colt. We were extremely nervous because he has never been cared for by anyone other than us and she was absolutely amazing. She made what would have been a stressful situation a breeze. Kayla was so incredibly kind, sweet and professional. She was on time every morning and sent updates throughout the day. We will surely be booking her for next year.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for 16+ years, my dog for 7 years and counting, and I briefly worked at Canine Clubhouse for almost 2 months. I am available for dog sitting, doggy daycare, and cat sitting since I am a stay at home mom to my 2 amazing boys and I have 1 dog and 2 cats. At home my cats are grazers and eat when they want to and my dog gets fed twice a day with a mix of dry and wet food and has to be let outside on a leash because our backyard is not currently fenced in.
“She was amazing. My older girl has bad anxiety leaving me but she loved being with Kayla! And she was so amazing with my puppy whos still potty training and testing boundaries. In every single photo she sent they looked so happy. She was patient and kind. Shes super chill and easy to talk to / book with and she always offering a solution to fit my needs for a sitter no matter how last minute. I would 110% recommend her to anyone who needs their pups watched!!”
“David is very patient and caring, great petsitter for your dog, He listens to your detailed instructions for doggie daycare and I'm sure for boarding as well. My Jovie got lots of exercise in fenced in backyard and very nice neighborhood with sidewalks to walk your dog during the day and evening. I had no worries leaving him at his house, sent me pictures and kept me up-to-date on everything.”

“My dog spent 3 days of daycare with Elizabeth and she was more and more excited to get out of the car and run into her house each day. She came home tired after a good day of playing and it was clear she was well taken care of and had fun.”
“Danette was such a sweetheart and took care of my Dexter last minute when we decided to take a last minute trip to Hershey Park. She is so knowledgeable and patient and treated Dexter like one of her own. Dexter came home worn out from a long day of play which is just what he needed to get his mind off of his “pawrents” being gone for the day. If we lived in the area, I would use her every time!”

About: I live in Port Trevorton, Pennsylvania. I worked in a Boarding and Grooming Facility for the last 2 years, so I have experience with all breeds and personalities, senior pets and puppies/kittens. I do not believe that there is an aggressive breed. I am efficient in administering medicines properly, including insulin and other injectible medicines. I currently have 7 dogs and 7 cats. (I have a diabetic cat with kidney failure, so I have experience with difficult medical conditions.) I've had dogs and cats for 8+ years. I live on a farm so I'm always on the go. I love playing fetch or tug of war, going for walks or anything else active, but I also enjoy lounging on the couch with my pets as well. My favorite breed is the Labrador Retriever, but I love all the other breeds as well!

I love to play with them, never get bored of watching them and ass I started I pay a lot of attention to detail. I can pick up on all those little details in dogs that many sitters will miss. You could not leave your dog with a safer host. I have a very flexible and open schedule right now. I am willing to work whenever and can plan around caring for your pet. It will be my number one priority. I have an apartment that is free of pets right now so I have the space give your pet some extra room without disruption while they stay with me

“Destiny is a genuine and very caring person who LOVES animals. From the moment my dogs met her, they were all over her and she knew exactly how to speak to and handle them. We took them to a nearby dog park where she was very attentive to them, and made sure to be as inquisitive with me as possible to ensure she makes good decisions when handling the poochies. Thank you Destiny for being such a delight!”
About: No discrimination here! I love all sizes, breeds, and ages. With over 20 years of experience, I have grown up with dogs pretty much my entire life. Your dog will be treated as if they were my own. We like to start and end every day with potty breaks along with atleast two walks per day. We allow your children to sit and sleep wherever they like.

About: Hello! I am home for the summer and looking to spend my time with adorable pets and show them some love! I have been taking care of my two dogs since the 5th grade and I just graduated college. I love going for walks and playing fetch. I’m also content chilling on the couch and watching doggies nap. Most days I don’t have any obligations throughout the whole day and can work my daily tasks and errands around walking or checking on dogs. I always make sure my pets have water available all the time, especially in the summer. My dogs usually go on a leash when they are outside, and I feel most comfortable walking dogs with a leash. My dogs eat at the same time every day and get lots of attention when inside.
About: I've had pets my whole life. Growing up, my family had several dogs and cats amongst other animals. I am a cat mom of 3 (had 4 but lost my guy 3 years ago). And will one day be a doggo mom!! I love animals and believe when you take on the responsibility of owning a pet, that's it for their life. My guys live a fun, spoiled, laidback life and I would do anything for my guys. I unfortunately due to my oldest having diabetes and CHF, am familiar with administrating medication as I had to give insulin and he was on several meds (pills and compounded). I love all animals and will love them like my own. I will send photos/videos of your pet (anytime). Your pet will get my 1000% undivided attention!! I am super excited to watch/take care of your pet!! My schedule is very open currently which means more time for me to love on your pet(s)!! As my schedule changes, I'll do my best to be as accommodating as possible!! My pets are my world and come first. I make sure my pets are taken care of (fed, water, litter box cleaned etc) and put their needs over mine. Put in perspective, I tried dozens of options of foods and such when my oldest was diagnosed with diabetes and gave my all to find answers before he passed. My pets are my children LOL and your pets will get the exact kind of care and love that I provide my guys.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since the age of 8. I have always been the go to friend who watches dogs or helps with training. I absolutely love animals and I love to show them new experiences. I think they deserve to have a good life and make new memories and I hope I can be that for your dog I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of free time to take care of your puppers. I love to be outside and be active and I would love to take your dog along for the ride I also love to go for truck drives, and my dog loves it as well I do not have a fence yard however, where I live I do have a nice little walking path that I love to go on. I also have a track and a little park near my house that I can also take your dog to
About: I grew up on a farm and cared for every animal you can think of, from bottle feeding goats to helping deliver babies. Friends, family and coworkers have relied on me to care for their pets while away or during work hours. I have lots of availability so I'm able to check in on your pet during the day or care for them while you're away for longer time periods. I have lots of availability for short check ins, walks, day care, over night or long term care in your home. I just moved to PA from the Midwest and have cared for pets and animals my whole life. I'm at your service to care for your fur baby in whatever capacity you need. From short check ins or walks during the day to over night care. I'm very dependable, caring and will honor you specific needs.
About: I’ve been a dog owner my entire life and have had experience owning other pets such as geckos, cats, and snakes. I’ve been a pet sitter for a little over two years. My true passion for pet sitting comes from my desire to be accompanied by them, dogs specifically. I work with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and personalities. Dogs of all backgrounds tend to gravitate towards me and I have never had any negative interactions. While studying for my undergrad, I was actually in charge of all the live animal specimens present on the University grounds. Feeding, exercise, and handling/care were done daily, which can explain my comfortability and familiarity with pet care. I currently am home as I finish my masters degree online so my daily schedule is fairly free. I workout and do part-time contract work when I am not doing schoolwork. I’m extremely flexible and will be willing to meet your needs as best as possible. Simply put, I treat the pets like they are my own. I ensure they are met with sufficient attention, exercise, nutrition, and safety while under my supervision. Minimizing stress is my biggest concern (my dog has separation anxiety so I know how it can be). I’ve found it helpful in the past to use my own dog as a bridge between myself and the client’s pet, as his presence tends to build confidence and reassurance.

“We needed a last-minute sitter while traveling out of state, since our hotel didn’t allow pets. Steffany and Juan were amazing from start to finish—so kind, professional, and accommodating. They kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. Our puppy Mocha had the best time playing with their big dogs and came home happy and well cared for. We would definitely book with them again and highly recommend their services!”

“I am so pleased to have found Heather to watch my two pups! They absolutely loved her, her husband, home and their time there. I loved that my pups got to sleep in bed with them, as they do with me.

Lol”

We knew that she had a wonderful time since she came back home happy and tired. We will definitely rebook with her!”
“Elizabeth is amazing with my dog Louie. He has been turned down at quite a few places because of his pretty severe anxiety. Elizabeth took her time with him, allowed me to set up a meet and greet an did three separate days with him before my vacation when he would be spending 6 days with her. He did great and Elizabeth kept me updated the entire time. She obviously has experience with all types of behavioral and health needs and it is clear how much she cares for and loves animals. I am grateful I found her and Louie has definitely become a regular with her. Now that he is home I can tell how much fun he had while I was away and as an owner of an anxious pitbull, there is no better feeling than knowing that!”
“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! We have a 13 week old golden retriever. So it was our first time leaving her. He made us feel so comfortable during our vacation that our fur baby was being taken care of every minute we were away. The many pictures we got every day made it clear she was loving playing with Ryan’s dog and felt at home with his family! Communication was perfect. Response time was great. Accommodations were fantastic. We definitely will be using Ryan again for our boarding needs!!”

We asked for pictures and Heather sent lots of pictures to comfort us knowing our girls were safe and well loved.”
