“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”
“Orlena. Was amazing with our two year old mini poodle. She kept plenty of videos and pictures coming. She is such a sweetheart. We already spoke with her in regards to another booking.”
“Daisy is awesome👍 We were very pleased with our fur baby's boarding stay in her care. It was a last minute booking for the Thanksgiving holiday. Daisy was very accommodating and attentive to our fur baby's needs. She provide text & video messages at the beginning and end of the day letting us know his daily activities. We felt comfortable that our fur baby was in good hands. I will highly recommend Daisy and will gladly utilize her boarding service again.”
“This was my first time using Rover. I chose a home that would board Chloe for the week. She was just 5 weeks old. Raquel also has a Chloe, and often takes other dogs for daycare or overnight. She had our Chloe for 7 nights. Chloe loved having other dogs to play with and seemed to adapt well to her surroundings. She also slept fine in her crate we left with Raquel. She had so much fun she seemed to think I was a stranger picking her up! But soon recognized me. I do highly recommend Raquel.”
“Our girls love going to grandma's house! We jokingly say that because it is exactly how it feels - the atmosphere, the comfort, Evelyn's sweet demeanor. She takes great care of our girls and really does care. We can't recommend her enough!”
“Janece & Matthew took such great care of our 4 month old puppy! We were so nervous leaving her for the first time, but she was in great hands. Janece and Matthew sent us updates on her every day. Would definitely recommend them for any boarding needs you may need!”
“Monica is simply the BEST! She was able to accommodate my dates at the last minute and my fur baby immediately fell in love with her! She asked lots of questions about Bailey's likes and dislikes because she wanted to make sure her experience felt just like home. Monica kept me updated through messages and pictures, which were appreciated. We love Monica and will definitely call on her again!”
“Our dog loves staying with Evelyn. He gets great exercise and we receive plenty of updates and photos/videos. He definitely feels at home which makes for a worry-free vacation for us. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.”
“She was wonderful with Spike! It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for while we were away. Her 3-year-old absolutely loved him, which was one of the sweetest parts of the whole experience. Spike was a little shy about eating at first, so she actually hand-fed him his breakfast until he felt comfortable enough to eat. That told me everything I needed to know about how loved and cared for he was while we were gone. Spike came home happy and clearly very comfortable with his stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to her again the next time we need someone to keep him. Highly recommend!”
“Super convenient. We came down to Fort Jackson for graduation. There are hotels 4 minutes away and Fort Jackson was 15 minutes and a very easy drive. Isabela was great, Sent multiple pictures of our pup enjoying his stay with her. If you are coming down with your fur baby for graduation, this is your sitter.”
“Kendra was amazing. I didn’t have to worry about my baby girl and was able to focus on my Army training. My pup came back better than she left after the grooming services Kendra provided. Trust me you will want to ask about those. Thank you, Mrs Kendra! Pepper will be happy to come back during my next field training.”
“Whitney was an absolute gem to communicate with! My dog is quite shy, but she settled in perfectly with Whitney and her family! She sent a ton of pictures which put me at ease! I fully recommend booking with her!”
“I needed to board my cat, Simba, and did not want to use my regular pet boarding facility. I usually board him there; however, this time I did not want him in a caged environment. I found Charmaine through Rover, and I am glad I did. I was a little apprehensive at first, but after speaking with her and seeing how attentive she was to Simba’s needs, I felt much more comfortable. Simba is blind and requires extra care, but Charmaine took excellent care of him. She allowed him to roam freely in her home, making him feel comfortable and at ease. Throughout his stay, Charmaine provided regular updates, including pictures and videos, which gave me peace of mind. She not only met Simba’s needs but went above and beyond to ensure he was happy and well cared for. If anyone is looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter, I highly recommend Charmaine. My experience with her was outstanding, and I would not hesitate to use her services again.”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“This is our second time staying with Jud and Nicole, and they are absolutely AMAZING! They are such patient, friendly, dog-loving people, and your dog will no doubt have a vacation of their own! My dog is very hyper, and they handle her so well, and always send lots of pictures and updates. Stay with them if you can!!!!”
“Nontombe did an absolutely phenomenal job with our two dogs. This is my first experience using Rover and she represented well. My dogs loved her, and she kept us informed on a daily basis with pics and videos. Thank you so much Nontombe!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all different sizes, energy levels, and personalities since I was 9 years old. I grew up in a home with six dogs, including an Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, English Bulldog, Husky, Pitbull mix, and Yorkie, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of dogs and their individual needs. I recently moved into my own apartment and now have an Australian Shepherd puppy of my own! I’m experienced with walking, bathing, feeding, playing with, and comforting dogs, and I truly love making sure every pup feels safe, happy, and cared for. I’m a nurse, so my schedule can vary from week to week, but I always keep my Rover availability updated! I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love. I provide personalized care based on your pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks and potty breaks, playtime, cuddles, bathing, and medications if needed. I’ll follow any specific instructions you leave for me and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Since I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, I’m comfortable adjusting my care to whatever works best for your pup!
“Sean was a wonderful sitter for our girls! Our two cats were in good hands, and you can tell how much Sean genuinely cares about each pet that Sean watches. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Ashley is a godsend. I know when I’m away, my kitty cats are in great hands. I’m always thrilled when Ashley is available to cat sit for me. She’s the ultimate professional…on the ball and responsive.”
“Katie when above and beyond with my three cats. She was able to put eyes on Cinder and he hides from everyone. She swept up the litter box area and even took out the trash! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Wonderful pet sitter who truly went above and beyond! Even during bad weather and a power outage, she was accommodating and made sure to check on our baby. We felt so reassured knowing she was there. Highly recommend! We will use Lisa again in the future and we highly recommend ❤️🐾”
“Kendra is great and an absolute life saver. I experienced a leak in my apartment in the middle of the night and was told that I must evacuate for the next day. I hit Kendra up about 12-1am about services for that day and she replied by 6am the next morning! She was great with my cat, Cheeks. She has a beautiful home that I felt comfortable leaving my cat with her. She’s kind, prompt with responses, and even sent pictures of my pet throughout the day. I would recommend her services and I will be using her again!”
“Caroline did drop-in visits for our kitties. She communicated well, and sent lots of photos. Everything was done above expectations. Our herd of kitties warmed up to her and she was definitely experienced and knowledgeable. We would enjoy having her take care of our animals again!”
“Marissa was excellent with our two kittens! She was able to meet us beforehand to get the key, to meet the kittens, and to learn about their needs. The kittens seemed to warm up to her quickly. She played with them and a highlight of the vacation I was on (hence the need for a pet sitter) was the photos and the detailed updates that Marissa would send! She was fantastic and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND using her for all your pet needs!”
“Susannah did a great job of taking care of our babies while we were out of town. I highly recommend her. She gave great updates and it was so good to see the pictures. Thank you so much Susannah!!!”

“First time dog parent. First time Rover app user. So glad Monty & I connected with Raquel. From first point of contact, meet and greet, day one and day two of doggy care was absolutely amazing. Raquel is a genuine, authentic, dog care provider. Communication ✅. Care Expectations Met ✅. Very Responsive✅. Professional✅. Personable✅. She’s passionate about caring for dogs and it is shown through her attentiveness to the well-being of dogs while under her care. Raquel’s sitter etiquette is superb. To see her love on Monty at drop-off and pick up gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was being left in good hands. To make things even better she shared updates via pics and videos throughout the day on each doggy daycare visit. Hands down, we’ll be re-booking Raquel. #RaquelROCKS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I like that I was able to take a tour, inside and out, of where my girls would be during daycare. The property was kept clean and well maintained. I appreciated the pictures and updates throughout the day. I had an overall very positive experience and would definitely recommend.”
“From Day 1, Orlena has been a pleasure to book with. My pup is always excited to go to her house. Orlena provides great feedback, and she shares wonderful pictures at the conclusion of each visit.”

“Isabella and her family are so nice and pleasant. They send pictures and keep me updated with Jett’s activities during the day. He gets excited when I mention her name which is a good sign.”
“I have never used Rover before, but Janece and Matthew put my mind at ease! They did a wonderful job taking care of our two Goldens, including a 4-month-old puppy. Their communication and responsiveness was great, and I enjoyed getting pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely book with Janece and Matthew again!”
“Hannah was awesome with my dog. She gave me routine updates. On day 2 of her watching him he didn’t even hesitate to get out of the car. I will use her again anytime I need service. I highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Leigh was an awesome puppy sitter! We will definitely be using her again, it's nice to know our dog is well taken care of if we need to go out of town.”

I have a fenced in yard and numerous references. I do have 4 small kids. I work from home. If a pet is skittish around children, I keep them in my room so there is calmness. I also have a completely seperate room that can be used if they prefer even less human contact. ***PLEASE send a collar and leash when boarding a dog I work from home so your pup would have constant attention as they'd be hanging out with me. I do have a fenced in backyard (it has my outdoor animals it in). If the pup isnt good around farm animal, potty breaks can be on a leash in my front yard I have a fenced in backyard. I am okay with a dog that sleeps in a cage overnight...or not. There's definitely flexibility there if the dog isnt destructive. I will ensure the pup is comfortable and entertained.
“We left two our two Australian Shepherd mixes with Paola for the day while attending a family reunion from out of town and were happy with their care. The dogs were comfortable with her and enjoyed relaxing in her comfy air conditioned home on a hot day. She sent photos and sent them home with cute report pages about their adventures.”
“Riley had such a good time with the other dogs. First time for her to go to doggie daycare. I think I was more nervous than Riley was. Andrea, the sitter, was so kind and patient with her. I will definitely be booking with Andrea again.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with a strong background in behavior science. I have professional experience working in applied behavior analysis and I am currently completing my degree in psychology, where I focus on how behavior is shaped through the environment and reinforcement. Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I currently live with three dogs, including high-drive working breeds, so I understand the importance of exercise, structure, and mental engagement. Because of my background in behavior science, I focus on positive reinforcement, clear communication, and creating calm, safe environments for dogs. Whether your dog needs a reliable walk, companionship while you are away, or someone who understands behavior and energy levels, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, engaged, and well cared for. I am especially comfortable with active breeds and dogs that need extra structure or mental stimulation. Services offered may include walks, drop-in visits, and companionship depending on your dog’s needs. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the day. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your dog’s needs. Because I manage my own schedule, I can often accommodate last-minute walks or drop-in visits as well. I provide a safe and structured environment for all pets in my care. My home has secure housing and a safely fenced yard where dogs can exercise and explore under supervision. I am attentive to each dog’s comfort level and carefully monitor interactions to ensure everyone remains calm and safe. I also maintain clean conditions by regularly disinfecting surfaces, water bowls, and common areas to help protect the health of the animals in my care.

About: Hello I’m Jasmyn, I grew up with dogs all of my life and as I got older I would watch my friends and peers dogs. I’m familiar with older dogs and giving medications, nap times water breaks and outside time. I’m available any time of the week and a typical day would look like, walks, cuddles, play time and medication administration if needed. I am at the hospital 3 times out the week but my schedule is pretty flexible for whenever you need a dog walked. Morning and evenings and especially weekends work. I usually follow any rules you enforce but I usually do the usual, keep them on a leash and monitoring them to make sure they’re being safe.
“Samantha has been amazing so far. She has been very communicative and sends plenty of pictures of our dog during their outings. Always on time and doesn’t leave a trace after she drops him off other than adding water to his bowl which we appreciate. She does a great job of checking for accidents and other things that may be out of place during the visit and reports back if anything is found. We definitely plan to continue using her services for as long as she allows us.”
About: I have grown up with and taken care of dogs/cat/other furry creatures my whole life. I am excited to help care for yours. I have also handled dogs with various behaviors/needs. I currently work full-time as a dietitian at a hospital but am usually pretty free on the weekends and I get off at a decent time so I am able to do an evening walk or drop in on your fur baby in the evening as well if needed! My dog, Axel, is very spoiled as he sleeps in bed with us and he gets daily cuddles. He enjoys going outside so he gets plenty of walks when it is not too hot out but on the minimum, he walks twice a day every day. I will care for your animal as if they were my own and will spoil them as much as you allow me to!
About: I have been a pet owner all of my life and there is a special joy and comfort that only a dog or cat can give us! I think it is important for our pets to get daily exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I'm an avid fitness enthusiast and I love all animals so getting your dog out of the house for daily walks is the perfect fit for both me and your furry friend! It's a great way for your dog to release that playful energy while strengthening their health as well. Playtime is also important in keeping our pets happy and friendly! Getting out and throwing balls, frisbees, sticks, etc is one of my favorite things to do with my own dogs and it's another great form of exercise for your pup! All animals are precious and deserve all the love and care that they can get and I consider it a privilege for me to help you provide that for your furry family member!!

About: I have cared for dogs all ages. From puppies to elder. I even have a few furs myself. I love animals and will treat them with the upmost care I am off on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays. I work part time also flexible with animal care parents on those days off if need be. I have an outside kennel, a decent back yard area for little walks and play time. I have an extra inside cage that holds up to medium size animals. They are cleaned every use with kennelsol because animal safety is very important. I will ask what the of dog food you prefer for your pet this way they can stay on any diet they are on. I won’t need any animal bowls unless you wish to bring them for the animal. I will go and get them personal use bowls for their stay and future stays if willing to use services again.
“Sean was great with our dear Azure. He was very knowledgeable and had all avenues covered for safety and protection while walking her. Great first experience for her! Thanks Sean”
About: Animals have been part of my life since I was three years old, and I’ve loved every whisker, wag, and wiggle along the way. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even fish — if it has paws, fur, or fins, it’s had a place in my home and my heart. Over the years, I’ve gained hands‑on experience with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra TLC. I’m comfortable administering medication and supporting pets through illness, always with patience and gentle care. I treat every animal like family, because that’s exactly what they’ve always been to me. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk, a slow stroll, or just a friendly face, I’m here to make their day brighter and keep their tail wagging. I’m available throughout the day to stop by and give your pets all the attention they need — whether that’s a quick visit for pets and love, a longer hangout, or a nice walk to break up their day. I’m flexible with timing and happy to provide extra check-ins if your furry family member needs a little more company or care. At home, my pets are truly family, and their care reflects that every day. I feed my German Shepherd, Grischa and Boxer mix, Elsa, every morning and evening with their vitamins, fish oil, and allergy medication, and my cat Brey gets his meals on the same schedule. I scoop the litter box daily to keep things fresh, and the dogs enjoy multiple trips to our fenced backyard — staying out as long as they want when the weather is nice. They get healthy treats throughout the day, but only after a good shake, spin, stay, or another fun trick. Caring for them is part of my routine and one of my favorite parts of the day.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I had a Labrador Retriever and Weimaraner mix who was absolutely precious. She passed away on April 3, 2026, which was very difficult, but caring for her taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dogs with love and attention. I currently have a Boxer, a Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua, so I’m comfortable handling both large and small breeds. Through caring for my own dogs and helping family members and friends with theirs, I’ve gained experience with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable in their environment. I’m familiar with different energy levels and temperaments, from active, playful dogs who need plenty of exercise to older or more relaxed dogs who prefer a calmer routine. Family and friends know they can rely on me to provide dependable and attentive care for their pets. I always make sure every dog is happy, well-fed, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. My goal is to treat every dog as if they were my own and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I currently work part time and attend college classes, so I understand the importance of being organized and responsible with my time. My classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and I typically work Friday evenings. My work schedule is posted about a week and a half in advance, which allows me to communicate my availability clearly and plan ahead for pet care. Outside of those commitments, I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home. I am committed to providing reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention to every pet. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping a dog company, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a securely fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and get plenty of exercise. I also have three friendly dogs who are well socialized and enjoy meeting new canine friends. I always supervise introductions and interactions to make sure every dog feels comfortable and safe. For dogs that are crate trained or need their own space, I have both a small crate and a large crate available. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to accommodate them. Whether your dog loves to play, relax, or stick to a specific schedule, I’ll make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they deserve while you’re away.

I was a manager at a boarding facility before I moved here to SC and now I am working full time at a vets office as a vet assistant taking care of so many animals. I just wanted to add more animal care to my day to day life by taking care of some of your babies in their safe place at home! I currently work full-time but would love to drop in at your house while you are away on vacation or even if you just need your fur baby checked in on while you are away. I am currently just doing drop-ins, I would love to be able to check in on your fur baby when you are away to give you an ease at mind to know that your babies are being taken care of!
“This was my first time using the recurring service feature and Dominic is so great. I feel good knowing Sam is safe and taken care of. She was even kind enough to bring some packages inside that had been left by the door. Great communication as well and very reliable.”
“Bella-Rose is my 18 week old, lovable Cavapoo fur baby. Christina is her first other human exposure besides me and Bella's dad, being that she just got all her vaccines. I unexpectedly had to cover my 24 hour business this month and knew I would need help with Bella. I signed on with Rover and Christina responded within 5 minutes. I was nervous at first but upon meeting Christina, I knew that Bella was in good hands. Chrisrina is on time, professional, and very loving and patient with Bella-Rose. I had no idea that these type services existed, being a new puppy mom, but I am glad I found Rover and Christina. I will definitely be using her in the future and I highly recommend her. She is great!”

“Kayla was so sweet and attentive to my 10 yr old shih tzu Taco. He had recently injured his leg and was awaiting a surgical consult. So, she was careful with his activity level. She also gave his seizure medication 3 times a day. He looked happy and well cared for in all the photo updates she sent me.”
“Janece & Matthew took such great care of our 4 month old puppy! We were so nervous leaving her for the first time, but she was in great hands. Janece and Matthew sent us updates on her every day. Would definitely recommend them for any boarding needs you may need!”
“Kendra was amazing. I didn’t have to worry about my baby girl and was able to focus on my Army training. My pup came back better than she left after the grooming services Kendra provided. Trust me you will want to ask about those. Thank you, Mrs Kendra! Pepper will be happy to come back during my next field training.”
“Whitney was an absolute gem to communicate with! My dog is quite shy, but she settled in perfectly with Whitney and her family! She sent a ton of pictures which put me at ease! I fully recommend booking with her!”
“This is my first time using a private sitter & it went okay. My dog Kobe is adjusting to being home, I’m military & Aiko was very patient with him despite his not so great behavior towards others dogs. She kept me updated with detailed information about his behavior along with pictures for the weekend stay. She gave my dog the attention he needed & let me know what she thought would be best for him moving forward. You should definitely book her if you need a dog sitter.”
“Tony has watched my dog, Saint, twice now, and I couldn’t be happier with the care he’s provided. I’m new to using Rover and I’m extremely thankful that I found Tony. So much so that I refuse to look for any other sitter. He’s been pleasant to work with, trustworthy, and always makes me feel confident that Saint is in great hands. One thing I really appreciate is the updates. Every picture Tony sends, Saint looks genuinely happy, relaxed, and comfortable, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. It’s obvious that Saint enjoys spending time with him. I truly appreciate Tony’s flexibility as I venture out of town pretty often. Whether Saint is there with others or just as the only guest, he’s always well cared for and comes home happy. I highly recommend Tony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Nontombe did an absolutely phenomenal job with our two dogs. This is my first experience using Rover and she represented well. My dogs loved her, and she kept us informed on a daily basis with pics and videos. Thank you so much Nontombe!”
“Debbie did such a good job with my new puppy! She sent daily updates and answered any questions I had! When we first went to meet her with my dog, Lucas, she wanted to make sure he wasn’t compatible with her own pets and had an extensive questionnaire to make sure he would fit in with other pets. I was relieved to know that she doesn’t take aggressive dogs or dogs that aren’t up to date on all their shots. I’ve already booked her again and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Sebastian was fantastic with our dog. He shared pics multiple times a day and gave us consistent updates. Our dog had a wonderful time and was well cared for while visiting. They have a very large fenced backyard that allows for zoomies and exploring. We will be using him again in the future.”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 2 dogs over the holiday weekend! They got lots of playtime and outside time, and they were both nice and tired by the time we picked them up! She sent a couple of pictures and a couple of updates. Just enough to let us know our dogs were doing well. One of my dogs is older with some arthritis, and she made sure he got all of his medicines and had a safe space to rest when he got tired out. Would definitely recommend!”
“This was our second time having Merrell board our dog. She sent plenty of pictures and took great care of him, and she was flexible with us when our flight home got delayed.”
“Lucas was so welcoming and flexible with our plans changing last minute at both drop off and pickup. He was amazing with the dogs and we got so many photos and updates. It was clear he loves what he does and the dogs know it!! Would definitely book with him again next time I’m in town!”
“We love Lindsey and Aaron! They were so sweet to our boy and he had the greatest time! He was so tired after playing all weekend he wasn’t even excited to see us haha we will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone! Thanks again guys!!”
“Lexi was amazing, she took such great care of Belle and sent the best pics and videos while we were away. Belle had the best time, she wasn't ready to come home when I got there to pick her up.”
“We felt so comfortable that Gina was taking care of our lab while we were away. This was the first time we’d ever left our dog with anyone, and it was a fantastic experience!”
“Riley had a wonderful time with Kayla and Jon. They treated him like he was there's and I really appreciated that. Kayla sent we pictures so I was able to see how Riley was doing and get to see him. Would definitely book with again and again!”
“Eleftherios and Nicole were exceptional. They made my dog feel right at home. He has had issues with anxiety while staying at kennels, but he did great being in their home. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures throughout his stay! Thank you both so much!”
“Sally is the best sitter I have ever had. There is nothing negative to say, only numerous positive comments, some of which include that: Lacie immediately took to Sally & now whines til I get her out of the car at her house, Sally knows the dogs very well so that she chooses which might be introduced with your permission (which has been great for my pet who interacts more with adults), Sally truly cares about the pets and lets me know how Lacie did (with many pictures) during the stay & individualizes activities and procedures to match your & your pet’s preferences/routines & needs. Thank you Sally! It’s good to know that Lacie is in good hands with you!”
