“This was the first time using Rover… Vicky was absolutely a dream. My dog’s loved her family and her little girl Nova! (her dog) slept with my little Frenchie all night she kept me updated on what they ate and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog’s for the first time with someone new…. I will be definitely be leaving my dogs with her and her family again!”
“Angelita provided the undivided, fulltime attention that Ian (and most labs) expect and sometimes demand! She was prompt with responses to my questions, followed the instructions to comply with Ian's schedule and gave Ian all the affection that he's accustomed to. I'm pretty sure that he would have enjoyed staying with Angelita a little longer. We're looking forward to his next stay with her!”
“Genalind and the whole family were great with my dogs.. will definitely book with her again. Great pictures and keeping me posted with my dogs all day.. We loved that.. thank you so much”

“Wow!! Lexzee was wonderful! What a warm, caring, enthusiastic and knowledgeable person with whom to entrust our puppy!! I can't say enough positive things about our experience. Lexzee sent us photos, videos and text updates while she cared for Mae!!! She had prepared wholesome homemade treats for Mae, and Mae clearly took to her, felt comfortable and cared for. Will be using her services again!!!”
“Amber was amazing to our dog Kenzo. She made sure to keep us updated with pictures and messages. She really cared for him and I could tell Kenzo was very happy. I will definitely book with her again for our next trip.”
“Betsy did a wonderful job taking care of our girl! She was super accommodating to all of her specific needs and made sure she felt safe and comfortable. It was such a relief to know Remy was in good hands and with someone who treated her as one of her own. I definitely recommend booking with Betsy. Remy is already looking forward to her next stay!”
“They were amazing, gave updates throughout the time my Rose was there. My dog is a rescue so she has anxiety issues but they cared for her needs very well. Will definitely be using them more often.”
“Cindy and her husband are very welcoming and warm, their property is perfect for dogs! Cindy stayed in touch the entire time we were away, keeping us up to date on how the days went, which was so sweet and reinsured us that our puppy is well taken care of and happy.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!
“I would definitely recommend Sarah for watching your dog. She took such good care of my Murphy while I was away on an unexpected work trip. Sarah sent lots of pictures and updates. Murphy seemed right at home there on her big comfy couch.”
“Becky took care of our dog for a week while we were out of town. She is amazing and took great care of our dog. She sent frequent updates, photos, and videos, which made my son super happy. Our dog had a great time!”
“Sheree did a great job taking care of my dog, Theo. She constantly kept me updated on how he was doing and sent plenty of pictures. Theo seemed to have a lot of fun with her dog Charlie. I would definitely book with her again if I’m in need of another sitter!”
“Nanci and her husband were wonderful and you can tell they truly love dogs. Molly seemed to enjoy being with them and they took her for regular walks and kept in contact with photos. We definitely plan to use them again!”

About: Well-versed in interacting with cats of various personalities. My main goal in life is to take care of my loved ones and that extends to furry friends! I am dedicated to providing the best care, just as I would for my own three kitties at home.

“We were so thankful that Rachel was able to check in on our cats during our vacation. Rachel responded quickly to the request. During the meet and greet she asked great questions so she could learn more about our cats. When she cared for them she was attentive to their needs, checked the litter box and even brought in a package:)”

“Rachel gave great care to my cats! I was out of town for an extended period of time and she did extra things like bring in my mail when it accumulated, which was greatly appreciated. She showed up on time and left detailed report cards. I feel comfortable that they received wonderful care while I was out of town and am grateful to Rachel for providing it.”
About: I’ve taken care of several pets my whole life! I truly enjoy dealing with all kinds of breeds and ages for both dogs and cats. También hablo español! I am a full time student and also work part time during the weekends . My available days are Monday to Thursday in the afternoon to late evenings. I’m open to discuss any time frame that works for you! I will do my best to make sure to understand your pet needs. Being aware of surroundings, understanding walking routes, behavior management, and any other instructions requested by the owner.
“After a last minute pet sitter cancellation, I was scrambling trying to find a reliable, responsible, and trustworthy dog sitter for a weekend trip. I stumbled upon the Rover app where I connected with Tyler. He is a phenomenal pet sitter! He is prompt, professional, and really easy to communicate with. He provided me with daily logs, photos, and updates; which was so nice to see. I highly recommend Tyler! We will 10/10 book with him again.”
About: Alright the time has finally come!! 🐾 We have decided on a house and we will be moving hopefully by June or July (exact date TBD). I wanted to give you all a heads up since I've been trying to give you plenty of notice. Should I see your pup again before our move, I will be bringing them over to our new lot to explore so they can get familiar with the scents and sights. I'll be doing this with Luigi too! We will only be moving exactly four minutes away (kinda crazy I know haha) so we'll easily be able to help all visiting pups prepare as well. It doesn't seem like a big difference to us humans, but this is a GINORMOUS change for our fur babies! Also wanted to remind everyone that after my birthday in October, we will be heading down to Florida for the winter! More on scheduling for that as it gets closer. Lastly, I want to give some transparency for you paw parents on my expectations going forward. I know you're used to seeing LOTS AND LOTS of updates all throughout the day. Before I explain the change, I want to explain the reason for it, because you actually want this too. We've all heard the phrase ‘you can't fill anyone else's cup if yours is empty' and 'there's only so much time in one day.' All the pups (including Luigi) are always my top priority. With all these changes happening, plus my Canine Behavior Consultant class load getting a bit heavier, these things drain my battery and brain power. If I'm not taking care of myself, I cannot show up as my best self for the pups and they deserve THE BEST parts of me! This may or may not come as a surprise, but I'm actually quite introverted, so I recharge my energy in quiet moments. Honestly it's a big reason I love the pups so much body language and energy speaks louder than words in the doggy world. So what's changing? I will be taking more quiet days, and I'll take them as my body and brain tell me I need them. But no matter what, whether I'm sending updates with words or not, you will still receive pictures EVERY DAY. This part is NOT changing!! Thank you all for trusting me with your pups!! I'm so excited for this next chapter and will keep you posted as things come together! ❤️ BEFORE YOU BOOK PLEASE READ THIS ❤️ For stays longer than four days and for holidays the rate is higher and I want to explain why. This is not a nine to five job. It is a twenty four seven commitment. Most visiting dogs cannot be left alone at all, and because of that I miss a lot. I skip family events. I rearrange appointments. I lose sleep when dogs are anxious or cannot settle their first night. I stay up if someone is vomiting from nerves. I cancel plans when a dog needs more support than expected. I spend weekends inside when other people are out living life because a pup needs constant supervision. I put your dogs above everything else in my personal life, including my own family at times. I only take one family pack at a time. Your dogs get my full focus and a safe space without the chaos that comes from mixing multiple families. I take them on real hikes, give them real enrichment, and use high quality human grade treats because visiting dogs need both movement and mental work to settle in a new place. I even go as far as renting out private land for dogs who are leash reactive or for pups who need a huge fenced in area with tons of acres to burn off anxiety and energy in a safe way. I share the smiling pictures and the fun adventures, but there is a lot that happens behind the scenes to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and stable. This level of care takes real time, real sacrifice, and real dedication, and that is why I am firm in my pricing. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and honestly… they’ve shaped a huge part of who I am. I live with my Italian Greyhound pretty much 24/7 (he has separation anxiety and I wouldn’t have it any other way), so I’m very used to the “velcro dog” lifestyle. Because of him, I’m super tuned into the little things.. their routines, their quirks, their sensitivities, and all the ways they try to communicate. I also grew up with Dobermans, so I’m no stranger to big, smart, emotional dogs who need confidence, structure, and someone who actually pays attention. That upbringing taught me patience, consistency, and to always advocate for the dog in front of me. I’ve had all sorts of animals in my life..even my two skinny pigs who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. They were tiny, but trust me, they had huge personalities and fit right in with visiting pups. Between my own dogs, my extended family’s dogs, and the endless stream of personalities I meet through boarding, I’ve gotten really comfortable reading different temperaments. Cuddly lap dogs, anxious shadow followers, high energy explorers, the “I’m independent but also please never leave me” types. I love them all and adjust to whatever they need. I’ve also worked with dogs who aren’t always easy around others. I take things slow, keep everyone safe, and create an environment where every dog can relax and feel secure. Safety and understanding always come first. At the end of the day, every dog who stays with me becomes part of my little crew. I’m not a kennel! They live life with me. Walks, snuggles, routines, the whole thing. Your pup will be cared for exactly how I care for my own: with intention, patience, and a lot of love. ❤️ Dog boarding is my full time thing now. No side jobs and no juggling. This is truly what I do every day. The dogs are part of everything I am doing, whether I am folding laundry, watering plants, or working out in the yard. When the weather is warm we are outside a ton getting fresh air, exploring, and just living life together. A few times a year I take short breaks to focus on my own dog Luigi, and to reset my mental health. It keeps our home running smoothly and makes sure every dog who stays with us gets a calm, consistent, happy environment. When I am at my best, your pups get the best. I know what it feels like to hand your dog to someone else and hope they truly understand them. That is why I take safety so seriously. Quality always comes before quantity in my home. I am very selective about how many dogs I accept at one time, and most of the time your dog or dogs will be the only ones staying with us. On rare occasions, this may include a dog who has already stayed with me multiple times and has an emergency come up. In those situations, all pet parents involved are notified and asked for permission before anything is confirmed. I have a fenced in yard and I am always outside with the dogs. When we drive they are buckled into a harness every single time. I carry first aid in my car and in my hiking backpack because being prepared matters. I use Apple AirTags when we leave the house so I always know where your pup is. If your dog is leash reactive or nervous I plan ahead. I research quiet trails, low traffic times, and when needed I rent private land so it is only us and there are no surprises. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is safe, understood, and protected. Trust is earned, and I show it through every decision I make.

“I have been bringing my dogs to Angelita weekly for about a year now and I cannot overstate how wonderful she is. She is responsive, flexible in scheduling, and takes such great care of the dogs. She documents their entire day and always sends them home with treats. She even bought them Christmas gifts this year. I truly cant say enough good things.”
“Mai was wonderful with our 1 year old rescue and took great care of her while we were in town for our daughter’s college graduation. She has a beautiful space for pups and is so kind. Highly recommend Mai!!!”
“If I could give D 10 stars, I would. She is, without a doubt, the most genuine person we have ever met through rover. She was extremely flexible with changing drop off times and adding on an extra day of daycare last minute. Her farm is a adorable and our two Australian shepherds loved interacting with friendly goats, chickens, a cat, and even a sweet cow—it was a true vacation for them! If we didn't already think highly of D, upon arrival for their second stay, our boys bounded straight past us and ran to the door. They chose her over jumping back in the car, which speaks volumes about the trust and love she inspires. Furthermore, she is incredibly reliable with medical needs. Our one boy has epilepsy, and she managed to administer his medication flawlessly, giving us total peace of mind. We are so grateful to have found her and will use her in the future when we're in the area!”
“My shy, cat-like dog, Luna, spent four (doggie day care) days with Gwendoline. Luna took to Gwen and her home on the first day. Gwen's amazing. She's very empathetic and gave Luna the distance and respect needed until Luna warmed up. Gwen's property is top notch. A true haven on a hot summer day. All around a very positive experience. I highly recommend Gwendoline.”
“My little boy loved daycare at Heather and Spencer's. He romped with her poodles, took a nice snooze, and had kisses galore for Heather. Already booked our next play date.”
About: I’ve always had a dog in my life, and I can’t imagine it any other way. Caring for dogs comes naturally to me, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Your pup will get plenty of attention, affection, and care—just like they would at home. I am a registered nurse and lifelong dog lover offering doggy daycare and overnight boarding in my home. My home features a large fenced-in yard for safe play and, during the summer months, supervised pool time for fun and cooling off. With my nursing background, I’m attentive, reliable, and comfortable following routines or administering medications if needed. Your dog will enjoy a loving, safe, and comfortable home while you’re away—and you can relax knowing they’re in caring hands. Flexible daily daycare and weekend overnight boarding in a safe and loving home. Dogs enjoy full access to the house and a large fenced in yard.
“Boots had a fantastic stay with Danielle and Brianna! They were incredibly kind, communicative, and clearly experienced with dogs. He spent the day with their four dogs and had such a great time socializing and playing—we could tell he felt comfortable and happy in their care. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such a welcoming and attentive environment. We’d absolutely trust them with Boots again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters.”
About: Hi, I'm Kassidy! I'm an experienced pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. Right now in my life, I'm not able to have a pet of my own, but I would love to fill my spare time caring for yours! I have several years of experience caring for pets through Rover and have loved building relationships with both pets and their owners. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I'll tailor my care to their individual routine and personality. I understand that every pet is different, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm happy to provide: • Daily walks • Drop-in visits • Feeding and fresh water • Playtime and companionship • Frequent photo and text updates so you can travel with peace of mind I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members. Clear communication and exceptional service are important to me. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive care for your pets. Whether it's early morning walks, midday drop-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I'm committed to keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. I genuinely enjoy staying active, so walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are often the highlight of my day! My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, routine, and preferences so they experience as little disruption as possible. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I'll adapt my care to meet their individual needs. I also treat every client's home with the same respect and care I would my own.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including raising and training a high-energy Vizsla. I’m very comfortable with athletic breeds that require structured exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent leadership. As an ultra-runner, I live an active lifestyle and understand how important physical activity is for a dog’s behavior and overall well-being. I’m confident handling strong dogs on leash, reinforcing basic commands, and maintaining clear boundaries in a calm, patient way. Because I work remotely, I have flexibility in my schedule and can reliably plan visits around your pet’s routine. I structure my week intentionally to ensure I’m never overbooked and can give each pet focused attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress. I follow feeding schedules carefully, reinforce any existing training or boundaries, and ensure water, litter boxes, and living areas remain clean and organized. For dogs, I tailor walks and exercise to their energy level while maintaining safe leash handling and awareness of surroundings. For cats, I focus on calm interaction, litter maintenance, enrichment, and respecting their comfort level. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own — locking doors securely, communicating clearly, and providing updates with photos when appropriate. If providing care in my home, I maintain a structured, safe environment with supervision and separation when needed to ensure comfort and safety for all pets.
“Great sitters for our dog Meadow who tends to have a little separation anxiety. She felt very comfortable and at home there. I would definitely recommend to anyone.”
“Courtney saved us from a last minute dog day care request. She sent me all the pictures of Dharmi having su much fun. Thank you Courtney for be so flexible, friendly and kind with my senior dog Dharmi. 🥰”
“Dot had a such a great time with Maddie and her pups & kitty that she's still sleeping off her fun from yesterday! Maddie was communicative before, during, and after the visit, and sent a few pics during the day. I had a long & stressful day at work, but it was nice to know I didn't have to worry about Dot and could trust that she was in good hands!”
“Loved having Diane as a sitter. Sophie loved her and so did we. She’s high energy and Duane saw she had lots of walks and activity. You’d never be disappointed with Diane. Thanks so much for loving on our girl for the day. Thx for the umbrella too♥️”
“Amy & Patrick are such kind and considerate sitters. Dusty is high-energy as well as picky when it comes to people she likes. It's obvious she loves spending time with them from her excitement when I drop her off. Amy taught Dusty to "drop it" which even her professional trainer and I couldn't manage. I have complete trust and peace of mind leaving my pup with them.”
About: I have taken care of all types of dogs especially my own and they love me and I love them. I just love them so much. I always fall in love and they fall in love with me. It never fails. I’m currently working full time but my schedule allows me to still make time to do other things like enjoy a second job which is good I love to cuddle and play with the babies, love to feed and rub them and even talk to them. They are the best ever

About: I’ve had my own dogs, cats and exotic animals my entire life and helping with other pets for at least 10 years.

I am happy to walk and play with them for whatever duration you would like.
“Shareem is the best dog Walker we’ve ever had. She’s consistent, caring, communicative, and always showing up for the best interest of our girls. Our two pitbulls are not the easiest to walk or manage but she meets their needs and requirements with no extra hassle. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: Hello! My name is Rachel, I am a graduate student living in Lancaster and love to take care of your pets in my free time! I grew up with a big family and many animals including goats, horses, chickens, ducks, and a few dogs running around. I have always loved animals, especially horses and dogs. I also worked at Karen’s K9 Kare in Malvern for around a year. During my time there I gained experience dealing with large groups of dogs as well as bathing, training, and getting picky dogs to eat. The most essential skill I gained at this position is really how to manage stressed out animals, dealing with strangers can be difficult for many pets but I pride myself in being able to recognize what they need from me to make them as comfortable as possible.
About: I believe I am well suited for hands-on animal care and observation because I genuinely enjoy caring for animals and helping them feel safe and comfortable. My life experiences have taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of earning trust—qualities that allow me to connect with animals and provide the attentive, gentle care they deserve. I take pride in being dependable, observant, and willing to put in the time and effort needed to support their health and well-being. I’m home the majority of the time with an outing or two a day. The outing can last as long as 3 and a half hours. I take a half hour morning walk and can take a second walk after dinner. Your pet will be treated like family. I pay attention to their noises and motions to better understand their needs. I will walk the dog outside on their leash to relieve themself and feed them on their schedule.

I will be taking more quiet days, and I'll take them as my body and brain tell me I need them. But no matter what, whether I'm sending updates with words or not, you will still receive pictures EVERY DAY. This part is NOT changing!! Thank you all for trusting me with your pups!! I'm so excited for this next chapter and will keep you posted as things come together! ❤️ BEFORE YOU BOOK PLEASE READ THIS ❤️ For stays longer than four days and for holidays the rate is higher and I want to explain why. This is not a nine to five job. It is a twenty four seven commitment. Most visiting dogs cannot be left alone at all, and because of that I miss a lot. I skip family events. I rearrange appointments. I lose sleep when dogs are anxious or cannot settle their first night. I stay up if someone is vomiting from nerves. I cancel plans when a dog needs more support than expected. I spend weekends inside when other people are out living life because a pup needs constant supervision. I put your dogs above everything else in my personal life, including my own family at times. I only take one family pack at a time. Your dogs get my full focus and a safe space without the chaos that comes from mixing multiple families. I take them on real hikes, give them real enrichment, and use high quality human grade treats because visiting dogs need both movement and mental work to settle in a new place. I even go as far as renting out private land for dogs who are leash reactive or for pups who need a huge fenced in area with tons of acres to burn off anxiety and energy in a safe way. I share the smiling pictures and the fun adventures, but there is a lot that happens behind the scenes to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and stable. This level of care takes real time, real sacrifice, and real dedication, and that is why I am firm in my pricing. I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and honestly… they’ve shaped a huge part of who I am. I live with my Italian Greyhound pretty much 24/7 (he has separation anxiety and I wouldn’t have it any other way), so I’m very used to the “velcro dog” lifestyle. Because of him, I’m super tuned into the little things.. their routines, their quirks, their sensitivities, and all the ways they try to communicate. I also grew up with Dobermans, so I’m no stranger to big, smart, emotional dogs who need confidence, structure, and someone who actually pays attention. That upbringing taught me patience, consistency, and to always advocate for the dog in front of me. I’ve had all sorts of animals in my life..even my two skinny pigs who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. They were tiny, but trust me, they had huge personalities and fit right in with visiting pups. Between my own dogs, my extended family’s dogs, and the endless stream of personalities I meet through boarding, I’ve gotten really comfortable reading different temperaments. Cuddly lap dogs, anxious shadow followers, high energy explorers, the “I’m independent but also please never leave me” types. I love them all and adjust to whatever they need. I’ve also worked with dogs who aren’t always easy around others. I take things slow, keep everyone safe, and create an environment where every dog can relax and feel secure. Safety and understanding always come first. At the end of the day, every dog who stays with me becomes part of my little crew. I’m not a kennel! They live life with me. Walks, snuggles, routines, the whole thing. Your pup will be cared for exactly how I care for my own: with intention, patience, and a lot of love. ❤️ Dog boarding is my full time thing now. No side jobs and no juggling. This is truly what I do every day. The dogs are part of everything I am doing, whether I am folding laundry, watering plants, or working out in the yard. When the weather is warm we are outside a ton getting fresh air, exploring, and just living life together. A few times a year I take short breaks to focus on my own dog Luigi, and to reset my mental health. It keeps our home running smoothly and makes sure every dog who stays with us gets a calm, consistent, happy environment. When I am at my best, your pups get the best. I know what it feels like to hand your dog to someone else and hope they truly understand them. That is why I take safety so seriously. Quality always comes before quantity in my home. I am very selective about how many dogs I accept at one time, and most of the time your dog or dogs will be the only ones staying with us. On rare occasions, this may include a dog who has already stayed with me multiple times and has an emergency come up. In those situations, all pet parents involved are notified and asked for permission before anything is confirmed. I have a fenced in yard and I am always outside with the dogs. When we drive they are buckled into a harness every single time. I carry first aid in my car and in my hiking backpack because being prepared matters. I use Apple AirTags when we leave the house so I always know where your pup is. If your dog is leash reactive or nervous I plan ahead. I research quiet trails, low traffic times, and when needed I rent private land so it is only us and there are no surprises. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your dog is safe, understood, and protected. Trust is earned, and I show it through every decision I make.

About: I have cared for my own pups and cats ever since I was four. Over the years, I’ve had a few hamsters, and I currently have a nine year-old Shih Tzu whom I adore. I just graduated from Wilson College where I did a few years of Veterinary Nursing. I am extremely passionate about animal care. I’ve gained valuable experience from working at a pet store for three years and from completed a year-long Veterinary Assistant program, which was extremely beneficial and geared my initial career choices. I am quite active and would love to take animals on walks or runs as needed throughout the day. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and playing with them. Additionally, I am comfortable administering medication, feeding, bathing, and brushing. I find cleaning quite stress-relieving, so I assure you that cleanliness is important to me.

I will be definitely be leaving my dogs with her and her family again!”
“Angelita provided the undivided, fulltime attention that Ian (and most labs) expect and sometimes demand! She was prompt with responses to my questions, followed the instructions to comply with Ian's schedule and gave Ian all the affection that he's accustomed to. I'm pretty sure that he would have enjoyed staying with Angelita a little longer. We're looking forward to his next stay with her!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for over a decade from high energy (I have a border collie) to low energy (I also have a shih tzu), elderly, and everything in between. I'd love to make your dog's day by taking them on a walk or giving them an incredible play time. Same goes for your cats! Whether your pets love activity or simply want someone to watch them sniff in the backyard or hang on the couch, I'd love to bring a highlight to their day. Right now, Friday nights through Sunday are the times I have completely free to dedicate to helping take care of your pets. I'm hoping to add more times soon and options to board. As someone who searches for hours to find the right person to watch my pets, I know how hard it can be to trust someone new to take care of your fur family. Whether it's pictures, reassuring texts, following your instructions exactly, or all 3 I will do my best to make your pets as happy and healthy as possible. I offer drop in visits and walks, so please let me know what you are and aren't comfortable with and I will make sure they are well cared for while giving you as many updates as you'd like!

“Heather never disappoints! Our pup loves to stay with her! Heather goes above and beyond to make sure all her "guests" are loved and cared for. She sends pics and videos almost daily.

He is booked for the following week again. He has met many other friends at his stay.”
