“Michelle did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Toby. She was great about communicating daily updates/pictures and treated him with so much love and care. This was my third time booking with Michelle, and I would definitely book again!”
“First time client, and have nothing but good things to say. At drop off, I was able to go inside with Jameson and get him settled in. She was very attentive to Jameson. Everytime I would reach out she would answer promptly and send pictures checking in. Pickup was easy, quick no issues. Highly recommend and plan on booking again in the future!”
“Zachary was a great caretaker for Lux! Super responsive and flexible and listened well to the needs of our dog. He also sent some wonderfully hilarious photos when he took her to the dog park! Overall, a great experience.”
“We were very happy with Karen! She sent us daily updates on our dogs and pictures. She seemed to get to know our dogs right away and what their behavior was like. It’s was comforting to know she was paying such close attention to their needs. I would highly recommend Karen as a dog sitter”
“Charlie loves staying with Anne & Joe! Thanks for giving me peace of mind while I was away. I know he's in great hands, having fun, and receiving all the attention and love he needs.”
“Boa was patient and observant with Loki's anxiety and gave him the space and support he needed to stay calm. I really appreciated it and Loki came home a happy dog.”
“Isabel was incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and thoughtful throughout my dog’s two-week stay. Her daily updates with photos were something we looked forward to, they became one of the highlights of our trip and gave us great peace of mind. It was wonderful to see our dog become part of her family. By the end of the stay, I was almost worried he wouldn’t want to come home! 🥲 I couldn’t recommend Isabel more highly. We’ll definitely trust her with our dog again.”
“We are so happy we booked with Ty! Her and her family were so good to our dog Scout and she provided the best updates and pictures. We would definitely book with Ty again ☺️”
“Devorat what's absolutely amazing with our husky who can be a sassy girl sometimes but she was able to keep her happy, well fed, and give her the amount of exercise that she needs! She was so helpful so sweet. We definitely will use her again. I appreciated all the cute photos that she sent us of her. She spent a good amount of time with her during our wedding week and I just knew our pup was in great hands, which was one less thing for us to stress about.”
“Omg, what a great host and sitter. Carolina was so responsive, and communicated everyday about my little one. Provided updates, pictures and videos and even had a safety “if lost” collar for him. Never saw that before and I love the idea! Will book every time I’m in town and need care. Had zero worries. Another great perk is she has a yard so if your pup likes the outdoors, they are safe and can get some sun. Thank you so much!”
“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Rafael took amazing care of our dog, Zelda. She is a very shy and fearful dog, and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter. He was incredibly patient with her and helped her build trust and feel safe during her stay. He also helped her become more comfortable around other dogs, which meant a lot to us. Rafael was always quick to respond, speaks both English and Spanish, and kept us updated with beautiful photos throughout Zelda's stay. He was kind, enthusiastic, respectful, and very understanding. What we appreciated the most was that he accepted our last-minute booking, which helped us so much. We are extremely happy with the care Zelda received and will definitely book with Rafael again for both boarding and daycare. We highly recommend him!”
“Cherylee and Steven are great dog sitters! My dog is a slow to warm type and they were able to get her comfortable and eating quickly during her stay. They were also communicative and kept me up to date with how my dog is doing. I greatly recommend Cherylee and Steven!”
“Lisa took wonderful care of Barley! She sent regular updates with amazing photos and videos letting us know how he was doing. We had peace of mind knowing he was safe and so comfortable in her care.”
“Thank you, Karen, for taking such good care of Marley! You are so easy to work with and flexible with scheduling. The accommodations were so “ homey” it was like she was in her own home. She enjoyed Guinness, your dog, it’s good she had another dog to play with. Thank you, again!!”
“Matthew was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Teddie! From the start, he was incredibly kind and communicative, which helped us feel at ease. Teddie is an older pup who recently had back surgery, and Matthew was not only understanding of his needs but also made sure he was comfortable and well cared for throughout the stay. It was clear Teddie felt at home with him right away. We’re so grateful for the thoughtful care Matthew provided—thank you for taking such good care of our sweet boy!”

“Emily did a great job visiting with the cats and sending me updates and photos throughout the week we were gone. She was very communicative and responsive. We will definitely hire Emily again.”
“Bri was great. She's very knowledgeable/skilled re: animals and was very dependable. We enjoyed her pictures and descriptions of her visits with our cats. We felt very secure knowing she was watching them.”
“Ellie was amazing! Our cats have never been happier while we were away. After we came back, we even noticed that our two cats were friendlier with each other than they were before. Ellie sent us pictures during every visit and gave us updates so that we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away. We really hope that Ellie wants to be Nutmeg and Boo's pet sitter again next time we have to leave the house.”
“Mackenzie was an absolutely incredible cat sitter. She gave our kitty lots of love and followed all of our instructions without issue. She left our home just as we had and she had excellent communication throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate at all to have her as our cat sitter again if we get the opportunity. I fully recommend Mackenzie if you are looking for someone to take care of your furry friend.”
“Caprice took care of my cat like her own, spent lot od time with him, played with him, and did anything she could to make our time apart more comfortable for him.”
“Maryann is a fantastic pet sitter. She gives wonderful updates and takes lots of pictures! I highly recommend her for anyone who needs a pet sitter. Will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.”
“Noah was fantastic with our cats! He checked in regularly and was super attentive and helpful in navigating two cats who are still adjusting two each other and their need for personal space and attention. He even offered to do an extra check-in, and was also really conscientious about our packages and mail. We will definitely be asking him to cat sit for us again in the future!”
“Oxana took great care of my cat, Tater Tot! She was very communicative and reliable. We loved getting pictures of our happy boy while we were away, and we know he’ll be excited to see her again.”
“Rick is a fantastic choice for any pet owner going out of town or in need of extra assistance with their furry friends. He came over for drop in visits at our place and made our two cats and dog feel right at home. He send a bunch of really cute pictures and helpful updates. Rick also was able to make it around the same time everyday, something that I know we appreciated. Sometimes it can be hard to know exactly what a perfect sitter looks like until the right one comes along. We are absolutely going to try to book Rick again and strongly recommend him to anyone on this app.”
About: Growing up next to a door trainer is no joke. It was definitely my gateway into pet sitting. With years of experience sitting all kinds of animals, I’ve never met a dog that hasn’t loved me. Reactive, old, needy, temperamental I’ve experienced it all. Reach out if you would like to set some time to meet and let me see how I can make your day a little better. As a part timer in nightlife, I work weekends at night. Luckily that frees up my week to be able to walk or sit for you! My superpower is sticking to the dogs routine, to set them up for success. Picky dog? Not a problem! If I do a longer stay; I will be sure to leave your home in better condition than I found it in.
“Jordan took exceptional care of my cats, Sage and Oliver. She followed every instruction I left with great attention to detail and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Her communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful, which gave me real peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with Sage and Oliver again.”
“Absolutely amazing! Kenneth was on time and took care of my fur babies. My senior dog loved his drop ins for sure and the three walks a day. He made sure they had plenty of water and food. Cleaned the litter box too. Even played with Oreo the cat and his favorite string toy. Would definitely recommend to my friends and request him again if needed.”
“We had a wonderful experience! Emily was able to help us on very short notice, which was a huge relief. She took excellent care of our two cats, making sure they were well fed, comfortable, and got plenty of attention. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“Another wonderful sit with Meira! She’s so great about detailed updates and so many photos and videos. Deedles loves her - even I can’t touch the belly, but Meira is allowed!”
“I recently had Kaitlyn take care of my cat, Tekkila, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Tekkila was clearly well looked after—happy and relaxed. Communication was great throughout, with regular updates and photos that gave me real peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves animals. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! Purr-fect! Pet approved 🐾”
“Super reliable and very easy to work with. Very responsive with communication. My cats looked very happy in photos and when I came back home. Kaitlin did a great job taking care of my kitties!”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

“Michelle took Ginger on a lot of walks and played with him everytime when we leave Ginger to her! Ginger is excited to see her and happy being with her!”
“Fantastic dog sitter! They were reliable, kind, and great with my dog. Communication was excellent, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’m confident in creating a calm, loving environment that fits their needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will have plenty of attention throughout the day—and with a beautiful park right next door, daily walks and outdoor time are part of our regular routine. I genuinely treat every pet like my own, giving them the care, affection, and respect they deserve. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I start the day with morning walks (the park next door is perfect for that), and I build in time for play, feeding, potty breaks, and snuggles throughout the day. Evenings usually include a final walk and some wind-down time. Whether it’s a short visit or overnight care, I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care woven into my day like they’re part of the family. In my home, I create a safe, calm, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel comfortable and cared for. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible—walks, feeding times, play, and rest—to help them settle in easily. I live next to a park, so daily walks and outdoor time are a big part of our day. Pets have full access to cozy spaces, and I’m always nearby since I work from home.
“Elba is wonderful and Sonny loved spending time with her. He loved running around her yard and made friends quickly with her. She is very responsive and wonderful at communication, she is experienced and knowledgeable. I recommend her 100%!”
“Another great few days with Ty! She communicates clearly, follows through on all logistics and timelines, and most importantly, cares for Dexter with kindness and diligence. He loves spending time with her!”
“Debby was AWESOME! My puppy was in such good hands. She’s very loving, attentive, responsive, friendly, had a lot of experience with dogs, keeps you updated with pictures, and overall genuine. My puppy had such a fun time at her place! Will definitely be booking again :)”
“Baron had a great day with Isabel and her fiancée! Despite him being a slightly anxious pup at times, he seemed to be at ease, relaxed, and enjoying his time. Isabel was very responsive and took very good care of Baron. I will definitely be booking with Isabel again!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life, so taking care of your pets feels pretty natural to me. Whether it's walks with dogs or playtime with cats, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them — and I'll make sure to follow whatever routines and instructions you've set up. I work remotely, so I'm home most of the day and can give your pets plenty of attention without it feeling like a juggling act. Expect regular photo updates, because I know how much it helps to see your furry friend doing well while you're away. Basically — your pet will be in good hands, and you can actually relax knowing that. Working from home and setting my own schedule means your pet isn't an afterthought squeezed between meetings — they're just part of the day, naturally. I love active, social dogs who are up for a good walk or some backyard play — that's my sweet spot. Cats are a different kind of company, and honestly I'm here for it, especially the playful ones who actually want to interact but also those that play hard to get too.
About: I grew up with black lab mixes, having at least one dog in the house all the time. I helped to raise two of the family black lab puppies through 15 years and care for the next generation, a 2 year old black lab/border collie rescue pup, teaching her to sit and lay down. I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs over the past few years, learning patience from puppies, strength from sweet old ladies, and the careful nuance that comes with leash aggressive rescues. I now have an adopted a rescue greyhound in the family. She loves new friends but is also perfectly happy cat napping wherever her bed lands. Happy to host or walk, with or without her company. I’m full time at home and so I am free to do breaks and provide limited entertainment between meetings, which are never more than 1.5h. This is the schedule I provide my own pup and would extend to others. I treat them as my own. I prefer to be over communicative with owners if any potential issues arise as well. Greyhounds react particularly poorly to negative feedback and punishment, so patience and focus on pawsitivity (particularly treats) is a standard with me.
“Words can’t explain how much I appreciate Emma for today. She came in clutch! And really helped at the last minute and spent the entire day with my boy. Was professional. From the start, highly skilled in communication & overall just couldn’t have been a better choice. My boy has pretty bad anxiety and seemed to have warmed up to her and speaks volumes for me . Overall great ringer,”
“Qualynda was amazing with our puppy. She watched her for us on very short notice and went above and beyond to care for her and keep us informed. Our girl is pretty timid and was scared at first but warmed up quickly and had a great time. She especially loved running around the big backyard! We will definitely use Qualynda again!”
“Lisa was so good with our dog, very attentive, and very clearly a pet lover! We also received many cute pictures and updates which we really appreciated. Our dog had a great time with her. Highly recommend!”
“Sam is very kind and flexible! My dog, Samira, is always so excited to see him. I’m grateful to have someone so kind and trusting to take care of my baby girl when I am busy. Highly recommend!”
“Sonia is fantastic! Her regular check-Ins and photo updates are so appreciated. Wonderful, big fenced in yard for pups to play! Her dog Lola is terrific too. Both days we came home with a very tired, happy pup! Definitely recommend!”
About: I have been a dog owner my whole life and have loved taking care of the pets of family friends and neighbors. I have experience with a variety of ages and I have helped train multiple family dogs. I love taking my dogs on runs or just lounging around the house giving belly rubs or cuddles... and the occasional treat. I am a recent graduate of Physician Assistant school starting work in the winter. My schedule is very open as a result, and I am happy to accommodate your needs. I live in a pet friendly home with easy access to multiple parks and walking paths. I am happy to commute to your home as well if this would make things easier or your pet feel more comfortable.

About: Hi! My names Brianna and I’m your pets new best friend! I am a 25 year old vegan that was raised by a mom that worked in an animal sanctuary out on the West Coast. When we moved here to Rhode Island, my mom continued to be a vet tech and brought her love of animals home while we fostered all kinds! My love for animals alongside learning to care for them is not only in my blood, but began at a very young age. I have 10 pets of my own at home! Cats, reptiles, and spiders. While my cats are too attention demanding to have a dog of my own at the moment, I LOVE being around dogs whenever possible, there’s no dog too big or too small for me! This why I decided to join Rover! I’m also experienced in working with older, nervous, and young animals. I’m so excited to get to know your pet(s). Please feel free to inquire about daily/weekly/bi-weekly visits etc. getting to know your animals on a more personal level will make everything smoother for everyone involved and I’d love to be a long term friend. There’s nothing more rewarding than earning an animals trust. From high energy babies to senior care, I’m excited to build a trusting bond with any animal I meet! My visits will include plenty of love, fresh food and water, some treats if granted permission, potty breaks and walks, litter scooping, and whatever type of play time or cuddles they prefer (including just being fed and left alone!) Whether your pet is a social butterfly who craves interactive playtime, or a shy senior who just needs a quiet, comforting presence, I tailor my visits to their specific pace. I am highly reliable with strict feeding schedules, and administering medications if needed, including shots, oral pills and oral liquids. My top priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and stress free in their own environment while giving you total peace of mind with regular photo and text updates! I work from home in social media & marketing and create my own schedule, so I am available for same day visits and can work from wherever! I’m basically always on call for those last minute drop ins. I also love being outdoors and set aside time to go for walks myself every day, so taking a dog along with me would make what I already do even better. I have experience with ALL types of animals so there is no request that will be new to me. My own home has reptiles, cats, arachnids, and I’ve fostered dogs before! Have something specific your pet wants? I’m all ears! There’s nothing to big, small, or “weird” for me.
“Oxana is amazing! Setup a meet/greet for my anxious doggy but instantly my dog loved her! She gives him so much care and love just like if my dog was her own. Couldn’t recommend anyone better than her!”
“Kenneth was an amazing dog walker for our dog! He was patient and kind to my sometimes timid dog. He was very flexible with our schedule and needs. Our dog Bear always got excited when Kenneth came for his daily walks! I would highly recommend Kenneth for any pet services.”
“Maryann, watched our small dog Milo. She took good care of him and even walked him. Milo can be difficult at times and we told her this and she still agreed to watch him. I would recommend her to watch your dogs.”
“Heath was great with Jasper! Jasper warmed up very quickly and clearly enjoyed his walk. I received lots of pictures and a detailed description of the walk. We will definitely use Heath in the future!”
“Despite Skye's timidness, Caprice was exceptionally patient and eventually had a successful walk. I appreciated her willingness to wait for Skye to become comfortable.”
“Meg has been incredible! Super prompt communication and top tier dog walking for our anxious boy. Already have her rebooked! She will definitely stay a part of our regular rotation.”

“We had never gone on vacation without our 6 year old dogs before. When we planned a trip to Barcelona, this was my one hesitation. Garrett (Xinwei) removed all my apprehension. We met with him before leaving and his kind nature and caring questions gave me the confidence and security I needed to be able to go abroad without worrying about something happening to my babygirls. His every photo captured how happy my dogs were in Garrett’s company, and his daily text updates assured me that they had everything they needed. We will 100% be rebooking with Garrett. :)”
“Chantelle is wonderful with Bodhi. She's very attentive and playful, shows up on time, and even took a last minute appointment. We will continue with her services, as we feel comfortable with the way she nurtures our puppy!:)”

From high-energy dogs and affectionate cats to smaller specialized pets, I pride myself on understanding their unique instincts and personalities. Experienced Care for All Companions Dogs & Cats: I am comfortable with all temperaments—from senior dogs and shy rescues to "velcro" cats like my own who crave constant affection. Small & Unique Pets: My experience extends to birds, guinea pigs, and fish. I understand that smaller animals require a gentle touch and strict adherence to their specific feeding and habitat routines.

Because my schedule is adaptable, I can easily integrate midday walks, feedings, or play sessions into my workday without rush. Daily Flexibility: Available for walks and check-ins anytime during the workday, as well as evenings and weekends. Regular or "On-Call" Care: Whether you need a consistent weekly sitter to keep a routine or a one-off "pinch hitter" when you're headed out of town, I can accommodate your schedule. Attentive Supervision: Working from home means I am a constant presence; if I am sitting in your home, your pet will rarely be alone and will receive the frequent attention they deserve. Prompt Communication: I pride myself on being reachable and providing quick updates so you never have to wonder how your companion is doing. I am happy to work around your pet's specific timing for meals and exercise to ensure their day feels as normal as possible while you're away. When caring for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining a secure, clean, and private environment. I understand that you aren't just trusting me with your animals, but with your personal space as well. Respect for Your Home: I treat your property with the utmost care. I am naturally tidy and will ensure that food bowls, litter areas, and play spaces remain clean and organized. I leave your home exactly as I found it—if not better. Safety & Security: I am diligent about home security. I double-check that all doors and gates are locked, alarms are set, and your pet is safely settled before I leave. I am also mindful of household hazards, ensuring that "counter-surfers" or curious chewers stay out of trouble. Privacy & Professionalism: Your privacy is a top priority. I am there strictly to care for your pets and will never overstep boundaries or access areas of your home that aren't necessary for their care. Consistent Communication: I am highly reachable and believe in proactive updates. You’ll receive check-ins and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and your home is in good hands.

About: Does your special family member need extra attention? Do they need a little bit extra help during the day? Perhaps other animals make your little one a bit nervous? Then we have just the vacay spot! We have no resident animals of our own and both of us stay at/work from home. If your furry pal needs 24/7 attention and love we're more than able to do so! Our apartment allows for a smaller and/or older dog to walk and run around safely without much to accidentally run into. For pups that need a bit to run around we're located near a wonderful dog park. If your pup is not interested in running and playing with other dogs there are plenty of sidewalks to run and explore as well as a large open field nearby. (The dog in the picture(s) is not a resident dog.) Currently I do not work outside of the home. While caring for an animal I'll also be here learning various subjects on the computer. Daily walks will be given for each day of their stay. The two doors to our apartment are always closed and the doors in the stairwells are also always closed and locked after everyone in the building enters and leaves. While clients are always welcomed to bring a crate if it helps the dog feel more at home, the crate will always be left open so the dog can come and go as they please. Dogs are kept off of our bed due to it's height and how it may be tough for older or smaller dogs to get down safely. If a dog does like being nearby during the night, however, I'm happy to place their bed right next to my side so they can see I'm right there for them.
About: Retired military medic used to have and to help friends and battle buddies when their animals had to go when they had to go overseas or on TDY work trips and things like that also help friends and things too. I am very by the book so if you leave me a list of rules and what needs to happen I'll make sure it gets done. I have a very open schedule. I work from home so if you need me at any point in time I can make it fit within my schedule. For the safety of your pets and things, I usually like to do a quick visit to make sure that we're going to get along. I know if it is a cat that a lot of times trust needs to be earned with them and that you can't just pull them out from wherever they're hiding a lot of times it's earning their trust for them to be come out and be friendly. You do not force it on them.
About: Happy to take your pup on short walks for potty breaks, long hikes to release energy, and anything in between! I can bring my own poop bags and treats unless otherwise provided. Experience working with dogs of all ages and social levels. I am happy to wake up early, stay out late, and work part time during the week (some weeks off) from 8:30-4:10 but there will still be plenty of time to put your pets first! Ensuring your dog and you are comfortable is my first priority, I will take as much time as needed to adjust to your pups comforts.

It was wonderful to see our dog become part of her family. By the end of the stay, I was almost worried he wouldn’t want to come home! 🥲 I couldn’t recommend Isabel more highly. We’ll definitely trust her with our dog again.”
“Devorat what's absolutely amazing with our husky who can be a sassy girl sometimes but she was able to keep her happy, well fed, and give her the amount of exercise that she needs! She was so helpful so sweet. We definitely will use her again. I appreciated all the cute photos that she sent us of her. She spent a good amount of time with her during our wedding week and I just knew our pup was in great hands, which was one less thing for us to stress about.”
“Elba takes great care of my dog. I feel comfortable leaving her there while I’m at work and/or overnight. Would recommend her to anyone needing help with their dog!”
“Sierra was great! My dog Gus came home happy, exercised, and with a well-needed trim :) Sierra made sure to communicate often and sent many photos throughout the weekend. I will definitely use her services again.”
“Angelina was a spectacular host! She sent constant updates, was flexible, had a great set-up, and most importantly gave a lot of love to my girls. 10/10 would highly recommend! Thank you Angelina! I would also note she was able to accomodate (in my circumstances) a last minute, 3 week stay for my pups which is unheard of. That speaks to her heart and caring nature!”
“Rafael took amazing care of our dog, Zelda. She is a very shy and fearful dog, and this was her first time staying with a dog sitter. He was incredibly patient with her and helped her build trust and feel safe during her stay. He also helped her become more comfortable around other dogs, which meant a lot to us. Rafael was always quick to respond, speaks both English and Spanish, and kept us updated with beautiful photos throughout Zelda's stay. He was kind, enthusiastic, respectful, and very understanding. What we appreciated the most was that he accepted our last-minute booking, which helped us so much. We are extremely happy with the care Zelda received and will definitely book with Rafael again for both boarding and daycare. We highly recommend him!”
“Cherylee and Steven are great dog sitters! My dog is a slow to warm type and they were able to get her comfortable and eating quickly during her stay. They were also communicative and kept me up to date with how my dog is doing. I greatly recommend Cherylee and Steven!”
“Grace is great! She took the time to meet me and my dog ahead of time to make sure they were a good fit. She sent lots of photos and videos of Willie out on walks and at the park. It seems like he had a fun weekend thanks to Grace!”
“Julia was so wonderful with our Cubbie. She clearly loves animals and sent us updates everyday on how he was doing. Super reliable and communicative and he had a great time. Thank you Julia!”
“Jay & Faith were wonderful. I was grateful to receive regular updates and photos of my pup throughout her stay, and they made me feel confident that she was safe and loved while I was away.”
“Lisa took wonderful care of Barley! She sent regular updates with amazing photos and videos letting us know how he was doing. We had peace of mind knowing he was safe and so comfortable in her care.”
“Giovanni was very professional and he has a very loving home. His own pets are well cared for. He even has a 19 year old poodle mix! It’s a real testament to the TLC in the house that can bring a dog into his 19th year of life. Giovanni and my dog were fast friends and I look forward to working with him again soon.”
“Thank you, Karen, for taking such good care of Marley! You are so easy to work with and flexible with scheduling. The accommodations were so “ homey” it was like she was in her own home. She enjoyed Guinness, your dog, it’s good she had another dog to play with. Thank you, again!!”
