“This was our first time ever boarding our 17 month old Shih Tzu. And we had to leave him in the cone of shame for a sore he wouldn’t stop licking. I was uneasy to say the least. But our little guy liked Evelyn from the start. She has a calm, easy going demeanor that he liked instantly. She sent me photos and updates regularly especially since I was nervous about the sore on his skin. His stay went off without a hitch. We will definitely be using Evelyn again. Grateful for her good care of our sweet dog!”
“Lauren was excellent and helped us out with boarding for our dog at the last minute when our other arrangements fell through. She sent photos to reassure us all was going well. It was so nice to find someone nearby we could rely on on such short notice.”
“Alexis did a wonderful job of taking care of our beagle, Wylie. She texted me with an update almost every day. I will definitely have Wylie stay with her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Brenda J and her Family were absolutely amazing. My Bandit seems depressed today. I think he misses them Brenda sent regular updates with pics and videos. She provided an awesome experience for Bandit and gave us peace of mind. This was our first experience with a pet sitter. I feel like we're Family now. Thank you so much Brenda”
“My first experience was amazing! Adrienne ensured my little one was safe and cared for. She walked me through the process with so much patience. A bonus…she is an amazing pet photographer!”
“Nicci came through for us on short notice. Her dogs and our dog made friends and our separation-anxiety prone dog was able to have plenty of fun and exercise to relax and enjoy her stay. Good communication. We would absolutely trust our dog to her again in the future.”
“We were brand new to Rover and honestly a little anxious about leaving our three fur babies with someone we didn’t know. Turns out we had nothing to worry about. Brennan is fantastic. We met her and her family about two weeks before the stay with our fur babies, and they were warm, welcoming, and put us at ease right away. During their 10-day stay, we received updates, photos, and videos every single day. It felt like our pups were off at the best doggy camp ever. They were loved and cared for as if they were her own. We couldn’t be happier. We definitely recommend Brennan and will absolutely use her again. Promise you won't be disappointed. 10/10!”

“Ms. Monica provided amazing service! She maintained communication and provided pictures and video!! My little pup looked so sweet and peaceful with her. She made us feel like a loved family member! When we picked Bentley up, he was right there cuddled up with her. He even let her touch his paws, which he does not let people he has just met, so. She was very knowledgeable about the large and small, no detail not considered, for example, the type of grass she has and why(because it’s beneficial for doggies)! My pup stayed with a family member as far as I’m concerned and we are ssoooo grateful!! Book with Ms. Monica, because I promise you, you will rest assured knowing your fur baby is with someone that cares for them just as much as you do, shoot maybe even more lol! Thanks Ms. Monica, we will be back!”
“Evelyn was very professional, kind and very friendly which made me feel very comfortable leaving him in her care.

I was very please with the services and have all intends of using her services again. Elaine M.”
“Isabela was amazing with our yorki. She sent regular updates with pictures and was quick to respond whenever I reached out!! We will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you so much for treating our dog like it was your own :)”
“Paola was wonderful with Riley. He took to her right away, letting me know she was a good person because dogs have six sense about those things. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would never hesitate about leaving my fur baby with Paola because she loved him like I would at home. She kept me informed with text and pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you ever need to leave your fur baby, they will be cared for Paola. 😊”
“OMG. For my first experience of needing a sitter the bar has been set very high as well as my expectation moving forward. Raquel went above and beyond to give my Ivy a comfortable, playfully and welcoming stay. After telling Raquel the wrong information she was very accommodating and made me feel at ease with the check-ins. I recommend anyone if you need a sitter 10/10 chose Raquel.”
“The absolute best with Jackson, he loves them. I’m definitely using them again, very responsive, sends lots of pictures and updates on Jackson. Jackson had a little bathroom accident and they washed him. Thanks again! Jackson will see you soon.”
“Daisy is awesome!! Took great care of Teddy over the weekend and even before that went to great lengths to change her flight to be home in time to keep him. We really appreciated the photos and updates we received the whole time :) hopefully will bring teddy again in the future!”
“Yentl is an absolutely great choice if you're looking for someone caring and compassionate to entrust your fur baby too! Sage is in love with Yentl and her family! I received daily updates, pictures, and videos, so I knew she was in great hands! Sage was excited to see Yentl when she was dropped off! That let's me know she is loved when she is there ♥️.”

About: I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.

About: Hello there! Let me take the stress of having to find a sitter for your pets off of your shoulders! I love getting to meet new dogs and cats. I currently work at an animal shelter once a week so I feel very comfortable with handling different varieties of cats and dogs. I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of others pets. I know how to follow directions and make sure the needs of the pets are taken care of. Currently, I cannot board any pets. I can come to your home if needed to let your dog out, play with your cat and of course make sure your furry children have food to eat. I’d love to be your next go to pet sitter. Your pets will thank you. The only day I am not available is Tuesday since that is the day I’m working at the animal shelter. Other than that, my schedule is usually open.

For my own pets, I let my dog out at least 3 times a day and feed her twice a day. I also feed my cat twice a day and empty out his litter box when it’s full.
“Highly recommend Yentl for any of your pet care needs! This was my first time using Rover and I really lucked out finding Yentl. Since it was my first time leaving my cat with someone new I was really nervous and she took amazing care of my baby. Thanks again Yen!!!”
“We cannot say enough great things about Alexis! She recently watched our dogs again, and just like always, she did an amazing job. From daily updates to thoughtful care, she treats our pups like they’re her own. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in great hands when we’re away. Our dogs absolutely love her, and we feel completely at ease leaving them in her care. From here on out, Alexis will always be our go-to person for dog sitting. Reliable, caring, and professional—she’s simply the best!”
About: Hi! I’m a reliable, detail-oriented cat lover who genuinely enjoys creating a calm and comfortable environment for pets while their owners are away. I currently have three cats - all with very different personalities. One very anxious and shy (especially with sitters) - but this is the reason I know how taxing pet boarding can be on cats. One with special dietary needs. And another who is very outgoing and playful - one-on-one attention and playtime with her is so important to her well-being. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each cat's personality and making sure their needs are met (as well as yours as a cat owner!) I know every cat has a different personality and comfort level, whether they’re playful and social or shy and independent. I’m happy to work at their pace and make sure they feel safe, cared for, and relaxed in their own home and routine. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, medication reminders, mail collection, plant care, and overnight house sitting if needed. I also know how important communication is when someone is caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide thoughtful updates and photos for peace of mind. Outside of pet sitting, I come from a background in customer service and public relations, which has made me very organized, communicative, and attentive to details. I’m currently looking to build long-term relationships with local clients and would love to help make travel or busy schedules less stressful for both you and your cats!
About: I have rescued two cats that I rehabilitated and took care of until I found their forever home. I work as a Care Specialist and a lot of my clients have cats of their own. I have no problem changing and cleaning out litter boxes and making sure your little friend as well. Taken care of with lots of love.
“Such a sweet person and took great care of my fur babies! Kept me updated every day and sent pictures as well. Highly recommend Samantha for future pet sitting needs!”
“Ashley is awesome and a sweet person, too. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice. My cats are very attached to me and not that comfortable with strangers. They were in great spirits when I got home and my apartment looked nice and clean. Thank you, Ashley. I’ll call you again. Hope you’re available!”

About: I spent over two years managing a dog training facility, so I really understand how to make pups feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. I’m also Dog CPR certified, so safety is always a top priority. What really makes my boarding special is that your dog isn’t just a guest — they become part of a warm, nurturing family. From playtime and cuddles to cozy naps, your pup will feel right at home while you’re away. Pet care is a big part of my everyday life! I work outside the house for only about two hours a day, so I’m home the majority of the time to give your pup plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I’m available all weekdays and stay flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups to make things easy for you. Whether it’s morning walks, cuddle breaks, or evening playtime, I make sure every dog feels cared for and part of the family all day long. When your dog stays with me, they become part of my family! I have a big fenced-in yard that’s perfect for playtime and zoomies, plus another friendly dog who loves making new friends. Our two little ones adore helping with gentle pets and belly rubs — it’s truly a home full of love. Everyone’s safety always comes first, so if a pup prefers quiet time or needs their own space, I make sure they have a comfy, peaceful spot to relax. Your dog will feel right at home with plenty of love, care, and family fun every day.

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
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: We’ve always had dogs and cats in our home but we are a military family so we move around often and we are not ready to bring one in permanently so I thought helping others with theirs would be perfect. I know I needed help with mine so I’m happy to repay the favor to others now. I have 3 kids who are used to animals (especially bigger dogs), private yard, no other animals in the home. I’m home all day and would love a buddy or two to join us from time to time! I only ask that dogs are kid friendly! We don’t mind animals on furniture but will adhere to any at home rules you may set (if you don’t allow them to do certain things at home, I won’t deter any training and let them do it here and vice versa!). Crate trained dogs are preferred but definitely not required! Just know a lot of dogs may do better in a new setting by having their own spaces to retreat to! I’m a stay at home mom, other than school drop off/pick up & errands, I’m home to care for pets in my home or visit a pet in their home We treat all pets like they're part of the family. When it comes to caring for pets, I'm all about creating a cozy, safe, fun environment for them. From belly rubs to fetch sessions, I'd make sure they feel right at home. We live on a private road with plenty of space to run around. Whether it's a scratch behind the ears or a tasty treat, I'd give them all the love and attention they deserve. And you can bet I'd be sending you cute photos and updates to let you know they're in good hands!
About: I own & operate Champ STRONG Kennels, a small capacity, in home boarding business where dogs are treated like family. They can enjoy supervised indoor play, outdoor time in my fenced backyard, & regular potty breaks every 2 hours.

For safety, dogs are separated during feeding & may be kenneled for sleeping, rest periods, or arrivals & departures when appropriate. My limited capacity allows me to provide each dog with plenty of attention & care. I've spent over 25 years caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, & personalities. My business was inspired by my Boston Terrier, Champ, whose legacy lives on through the care I provide every dog that stays with me. Please note: I require all new clients to book a daycare appointment as a trial before I can accept a boarding reservation. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable in my home environment & is a good fit.

Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away. My husband and I are self employed and spend most of our time at home. While you're loved one is in our care, they will be our main focus and have all of our attention. We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.
About: Hello there! Let me take the stress of having to find a sitter for your pets off of your shoulders! I love getting to meet new dogs and cats. I currently work at an animal shelter once a week so I feel very comfortable with handling different varieties of cats and dogs. I am very reliable when it comes to taking care of others pets. I know how to follow directions and make sure the needs of the pets are taken care of. Currently, I cannot board any pets. I can come to your home if needed to let your dog out, play with your cat and of course make sure your furry children have food to eat. I’d love to be your next go to pet sitter. Your pets will thank you. The only day I am not available is Tuesday since that is the day I’m working at the animal shelter. Other than that, my schedule is usually open. Currently I am not able to board any pets right now due to living in an apartment. I have 2 pets of my own already and cannot have anymore due to the apartment rules. For my own pets, I let my dog out at least 3 times a day and feed her twice a day. I also feed my cat twice a day and empty out his litter box when it’s full.
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.
About: I grew up taking care of my childhood pets. I grew up with a Dalmatian and an orange tabby cat! I loved taking my dog out for walks and playing with him in our yard. I also had a guinea pig growing up and I now have three amazing cats but love all creatures big and small! Exercise is important for your animal so let me be the one who keeps your pet healthy! I’m a stay at home mom so I have open availability to walk or check on your animals almost any day and time unless there is a prior commitment I have! I have two cats so I don’t offer in home services but I have a reliable vehicle that I can get to your home to walk and/or play with your pets in your yard!

“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.”
“Marissa was a wonderful, lovely and a sweet sitter for my baby Ace. She went above and beyond the service I requested in order to make sure Ace was happy and comfortable. My dog loves her and enjoyed the time with her and her daughter. She provided me updates every time and kept an excellent communication. I can tell the love she has for animals. I will continue requiring for her services. She demonstrated to be a trustworthy person to trust her with my baby (dog) and the house. Thank you Marissa again!!!!!❤️”
About: Never met a dog/cat that doesn’t vibe with me. Don’t worry about your lil ones they’re in good care. I have trained puppies and take care of dogs as old as 10 years old. I am here to ease the stress of being scared of your pet being in the wrong hands. I have a lot of free time at the moment and would love to help others who do not have that freedom and want their lil ones to be able to enjoy the outdoors and a person. I make sure the client has given instructions on how they take care of their pets from day to day and i will tend to that schedule. i will make it a little flexible with putting in more outside time than usual.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was pretty young, working on Rover when it first came out. I worked at a dog daycare in Indianapolis for 5 years that I was a general manager at for 3 years of that time. I have a 6 year old mini Australian shepherd that I have experience with managing dog reactivity. I currently am in between jobs and have plenty of open availability. I structure my day around your pets’ needs and then prioritize admin work tasks once I have a schedule to work with. My own dog is selectively dog reactive so I am very aware of my surroundings and his triggers at any given time when outside of our home. I can and have always provided multiple daily updates, pictures, videos, and am very responsive to owners. I am more than willing to share my personal number to ensure trusted communication.
“I cannot say enough about this wonderful lady! Friendly and flexible, my dog and my work schedule loved her. And when I had a family emergency, she allowed me to schedule a boarding on very short notice. If I'm ever in the area again, I will certainly be looking her up.”
“Karli did a great job taking care of our dog, Henry. She was on time for each visit and spent extra time caring for our fur baby. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter. ????”
About: I've grown up taking care of cats and dogs. My professional pet sitting experience includes small and large dog breeds, as well as cats. I have a background in animal science and care so I am the ideal sitter for pets with high medical needs and elderly pets. I am willingly to take dogs on long walks or runs, and take them to the park. I am not certified, but I can do basic training (sit, stay, etc) and leash training. I currently work from home, so I am available at home 24/7. Great for pets that are potty training or need multiple play times a day. I abide with the rules and schedule of the owner. Not required, but I encourage a meet and greet for first time clients for care instructions and to ask any questions.

“Lauren was excellent and helped us out with boarding for our dog at the last minute when our other arrangements fell through. She sent photos to reassure us all was going well. It was so nice to find someone nearby we could rely on on such short notice.”
“Alexis did a wonderful job of taking care of our beagle, Wylie. She texted me with an update almost every day. I will definitely have Wylie stay with her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Brenda J and her Family were absolutely amazing. My Bandit seems depressed today. I think he misses them Brenda sent regular updates with pics and videos. She provided an awesome experience for Bandit and gave us peace of mind. This was our first experience with a pet sitter. I feel like we're Family now. Thank you so much Brenda”
“My first experience was amazing! Adrienne ensured my little one was safe and cared for. She walked me through the process with so much patience. A bonus…she is an amazing pet photographer!”
“We were brand new to Rover and honestly a little anxious about leaving our three fur babies with someone we didn’t know. Turns out we had nothing to worry about. Brennan is fantastic. We met her and her family about two weeks before the stay with our fur babies, and they were warm, welcoming, and put us at ease right away. During their 10-day stay, we received updates, photos, and videos every single day. It felt like our pups were off at the best doggy camp ever. They were loved and cared for as if they were her own. We couldn’t be happier. We definitely recommend Brennan and will absolutely use her again. Promise you won't be disappointed. 10/10!”
“Paola was wonderful with Riley. He took to her right away, letting me know she was a good person because dogs have six sense about those things. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. I would never hesitate about leaving my fur baby with Paola because she loved him like I would at home. She kept me informed with text and pictures of how he was doing. I highly recommend her if you ever need to leave your fur baby, they will be cared for Paola. 😊”
“The absolute best with Jackson, he loves them. I’m definitely using them again, very responsive, sends lots of pictures and updates on Jackson. Jackson had a little bathroom accident and they washed him. Thanks again! Jackson will see you soon.”
“Daisy is awesome!! Took great care of Teddy over the weekend and even before that went to great lengths to change her flight to be home in time to keep him. We really appreciated the photos and updates we received the whole time :) hopefully will bring teddy again in the future!”
“Yentl is an absolutely great choice if you're looking for someone caring and compassionate to entrust your fur baby too! Sage is in love with Yentl and her family! I received daily updates, pictures, and videos, so I knew she was in great hands! Sage was excited to see Yentl when she was dropped off! That let's me know she is loved when she is there ♥️.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was so happy with Kayla and Jonathan. I would absolutely use them again. We were travelling internationally and Kayla was amazing at communicating throughout the whole process. She was very flexible, and when our return flight was delayed (significantly) she was very accommodating of a change in pickup time. I had no worries whatsoever for the time that Jesse stayed with them. They made travelling so much easier by providing peace of mind that my dog was well taken care of.”
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.
“Randi was awesome taking care of my 2 pups. She is very communicative and sends pics daily. She has a safe place to keep them while still having room for fun. I will use her again! Highly recommended.”

“Alyssa and her husband are very kind spirited people with positive attitudes. They took great care of my Luna making sure she was never alone for too long and they also sent pictures of her daily to let me know how she was doing. Great service, I will be back when I need a dog sitter again.”
“Cynthia was great with both of our pups and gave daily updates with pictures. This was our first trip away from them and we were very worried but she made sure they were as comfortable as possible and we would definitely use her again.”
“Cashew seemed to love Katyra.. she kept me up to date with how he was doing and sent pics while there.. because of all of this we will be using her again.. thanks for taking good care of my Cashew”
“I am over pleased with Miriael. Fancy was well taken care of and learned some things about potty training that we have been working on prior to the booking. I will definitely be using her again. Also, I do think that she definitely deserves a tip, but I’m not able to leave what she deserves at the moment, but I will make it up on future bookings. Thumbs up to Miriael.”
