“Highly recommend! My dog stayed with Merrell at her home for 4 days. She sent me pictures everyday and kept me updated. 10/10, I will definitely book my dog with her again!”
“I am so happy Emma was available last weekend! My dog, Stella, can be really skittish around new people but she warmed up to Emma immediately. Emma spoiled Stella while I was away...walks, visiting the dog park, puppacinnos, etc. I don't think Stella was ready to come home! Very happy with my experience and would absolutely recommend Emma.”
“I have a dog that is extremely skiddish,and not trusting of strangers. It took very little time for her to warm up. I received pictures and videos showing how well my furbaby had bonded. I definitely will be bringing Winter back soon as I come back to Columbia. Give her a try you will be pleased.”
“Lexie was excellent! Drop off was smooth and I know my dog enjoyed playing with the others! I got daily video updates which was so fun! Will absolutely be booking again. Thank you!”
“Ms Tamera & Mr Skrewball were the perfect sitters for my little “Satin”… He didn’t want to leave her when I picked him up and he came home even more spoiled rotten than before he went to spend the weekend with them! They shared many pictures & videos while we were separated and gave my little guy so much love & affection! I will definitely use her services again & would recommend her to anyone!!! Thanks Again!”
“Eileen was great with Daisy. First time we left Daisy for 3 days to a sitter and we felt very comfortable with Eileen knowing that our baby is going to be looked after well. Thanks Eileen. Daisy will definitely return.”
“Susan was fantastic! She sent daily updates and made drop off and pick up very easy. She accomodated a last minute scheduling change due to Hurricane Michael, and I could not be more grateful for her flexibility and the care she provided for our girl. Will definitely use her again.”
“Raquel was awesome with my Samantha, loved the pictures and videos while I was away attending another funeral in 8 days. She kind, loving, professional and treated my princess very well. I would absolutely book her again.💕💕 Marilynn”
“My dogs were well taken care of. With short notice, Keith took the time to get to know my dogs and was transparent on the kind of care he provides, which is stellar.”
“Yentl was a God send!! Sage was very comfortable with her and was excited to see her again! You can definitely trust Yentl with your fur baby, she is amazing! Sage will definitely be back!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with two dogs and have spent years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I love spending my free time outdoors and would be excited to have a furry companion join me! I’m happy to welcome dogs into my apartment and provide a comfortable, safe, and relaxed home away from home. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while they’re staying with me. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel right at home!
“Our trusted pet sitter informed us last minute that she was unable to care for our family dog. With an international trip approaching, I felt a tinge of desperation. Out of options, I found Rover. Shifting through the many profiles, my anxieties about enlisting the help of someone I had not met were quickly quieted upon reading the countless positive reviews left for Niagara. From the beginning communications until pick up, she was accommodating, courteous, and quick to respond. From the moment we dropped off until the day we picked up, we received daily updates and affirmations of our sweet Breezy. This included what I like to call “proof of life” pictures and videos, which were really more than that. They showed how well cared for he was and how happy and content he remained in her care. As someone that has been very peculiar and selective about who cares for our family dog, I don’t feel that five stars is even enough for Niagara. I can’t recommend her enough and I would be honored to secure her services in the future!”
“Lucas took such good care of our two boxers and seemed to really enjoy the time with them. Thank you so much Lucas for making our time away so much more comfortable. I felt like our babies were really in good hands.”
“Harvey and Cooper had a blast. Hannah was wonderful always let me know how the boys were doing and sent me tons of pictures. I really appreciate you checking in the night after we pick the boys up.”

“Meghan and Michael took wonderful care of our cats while we were away! They sent updates and pictures every day. We came home to two very happy cats. Will definitely book again.”
“Moe was an exceptional cat-sitter, and she dealt with a last-minute crisis with such ease and professionalism. Just before I left for my trip, my cat suffered a slight injury that required medication and rest. Moe gave my cat the medication and attention he needed to remain calm and, most importantly, get well. I highly recommend Moe for your pet setting needs.”
“Friendly, great at communicating, and very helpful! I forgot to let her know where to put my house key for safekeeping and she went out of her way to remedy my mistake. I would book Anna again if the opportunity came up!”
“Superb! I was stressed out about leaving my cat alone when i had an expected trip. Sydney is a great communicator that alleviated all the stress i had away, and took great care of my cat with updates pictures daily. I could tell my cat liked her. Would totally book again when i need someone to look after my cat.”
About: I have taken care of many of my friends, family, and neighbors cats since I was about 12. I also have a cat of my own and have grown up with them all my life. Any care your cat needs, I’d love to help!
“Delaney was great, she was attentive to our pets, and provided daily updates with photos. She was even able to earn the trust of my extremely skittish cat, something that no other sitter has accomplished. Very happy.”
“Amazing with my kitties! She gave me photos and updates on my boys keeping my mind at ease while out of town. Even helped when they got into some food in the pantry. 10/10 Will be booking again!”
About: I’ve been a cat owner for 13 years and truly love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and routine.

In addition, I’ve provided cat-sitting for the past eight years. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, litter box care, playtime, affection (on their terms!), and making sure pet parents receive reliable updates and peace of mind while they’re away.
“Dominic was great. She was very attentive to the needs of our cats and made every agent to make them feel comfortable. She Keir is updated with the status and when issues arose, Dominic handled them professionally and quickly. She is great and we will request her services again.”
“Hannah was wonderful with our two kitties! She sent pictures and detailed Rover Cards that we truly appreciated! This made us much more relaxed while being away! She was not previously familiar with cat inhalers, but was willing to learn during the meet and greet. We will definitely book Hannah for future drop in visits! Thank you Hannah!”
“Annie did such an incredible job taking care of Misha! She provided frequent updates and lots of pictures. We felt so much more comfortable on our trip knowing how well our kitty was being taken care of. Would have her take care of my pet again in a heartbeat.”
About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover with over five years of experience caring for pets, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your cat. I’ve always dreamed of having a cat of my own, but because of my current living situation and graduate school commitments, I’m not able to adopt one right now. Cat sitting is the perfect way for me to spend time with these amazing animals while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve.
“Alexis was amazing. Our dog has huge anxiety and can be freaked out when meeting people. He took to Alexis right away when she came to meet him. He was even sad when she left. Our cat is known to hide out but she even made a few appearances when Alexis checked in on them.”
“Ellie was great! My cat is pretty shy but he seemed to warm up to her really quick! She sent me a lot of photos of him in her updates which I loved. I would definitely recommend Ellie!”

“Aiden enjoyed his stay with Savannah.She was very warm and welcoming and have frequent updates and photos.I will definitely use savannah again the next time i'm in Columbia”
About: Hello. I have extensive experience with a variety of animals. As a child I rescued stray cats, dogs, and different wildlife. I've had cats, dogs, turtles, rabbits, domesticated rats...literally everything. I currently have 4 rescued ducks, 2 rescued turtles, turkeys and 4 baby tortoises (inside). 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.
“Omgosh! Michelle was our hero the weekend of my nephews wedding! Newly relocated to the Charleston area, we knew no one to watch our pup while we went to Savannah for the wedding. We found Michelle in Savannah, and she was wonderful!! So sweet and loving to our 10year old poodle bichon, and he seemed to be comfortable with her and her place right away. If you're looking for the perfect dog sitter, look no further, Michelle is your gal.”
“Super sweet with my pup. You can tell he treats every dog like his own. I needed an emergency sitter and he had no problem taking my little girl last minute for a couple of hours. Highly recommend.”
“Totally amazing! My dog can be slow to warm up to new people but she was able to make him feel comfortable and safe from the first day. I really appreciated the updates as well, would rebook any time I need a sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little, growing up my grandma had a lot of dogs which started my love for them. I have taken care of many stray dogs around my area, i’ve also dog sitted for many local people in my hometown neighborhood. I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs, routines, and even their little dislikes to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’ve handled cats, rabbits, and even turtles lol. Small or big , Reptile or mammal I love them all unconditionally :). I recently got out of the military, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available Monday–Friday and may also be available on weekends. I don’t travel very often, so I can usually accommodate holiday bookings as well. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs whenever possible. :) I have a fenced-in backyard where your fur baby can safely run around and play whenever they’d like! I also have two fur babies of my own who are very friendly with other animals and love to play. I spend time with them outside every day, so if your fur baby is playful and enjoys having some company, they’ll have plenty of friends to keep them entertained. I want every pet in my care to feel comfortable, safe, and right at home! 🐾❤️
“Brittany picked my pup up to spend the day with her and her fur babies. He has a lot of energy and definitely benefited from doggy daycare. She was prompt and responsive, while also sending pics. I would definitely recommend Britt!”
“She is such a wonderful person! We had great communication, and she always kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She sent me pictures and videos every day, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend her! 🫶”
“My husband and I had to take a long day trip to house hunt and needed someone to watch our 11 week old puppy while we were gone. Daisy will be our go-to forever now! She treated Rookie like her own, giving him love, treats, respecting how we were training him, and kept us updated throughout the day. I was worried about leaving my puppy and having him regress, but he thrived there and didn’t have one accident! I know this is due to Daisy being attentive and so kind. It was also a dreary, rainy, muddy day and she just embraced it and let the dogs have fun too. My pup and her pup had a blast. Can’t wait to Rookie to spend time with Daisy again!”
“Luiza took amazing care of my pup. She clearly made Zoey’s care and well being a priority . I felt very confident and safe leaving Zoey with her and will certainly contact her again if we are in the area .”
“Teia had a great time and came home ready for a nap. Lyndsay sent beautiful pictures which we will treasure. And really appreciate her flexibility and agreeing to our last minute request for daycare. See you soon!”
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.
“Needing a pet sitter for my fur baby while I was visiting my daughter at the University of South Carolina- only for a few hours to watch the basketball game. I didn’t want to leave her in the hotel with all the doors slamming. I was so pleased and thankful to find Gina on Rover- who responded immediately and said that she could watch my Nola. Gina gave me lots of pictures during the visit and made me feel safe and comfortable! I knew she was in good hands! 🐾💕 Would definitely recommend and use again! 5 out of 5 🌟”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I am a lifelong pet owner and have love for all animals. Caring for and spending time with animals is my passion. Your fur-babies will be in great hands. I am home full-time so I have all the time needed to care for pup. I will be able to keep them on their regular schedule with feedings and potty breaks if needed. I have a quiet, clean, smoke free home with a fenced in backyard and a screened back porch that your pup can enjoy. I also have a two year old Golden Doodle that is very friendly and can keep your pup company during their stay.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I’ve grown up with just about every type of animal from small to large, I’ve worked at dog rehabilitation centers, I’ve been a dog groomer for over 12 years (still grooming out of my home) I’ve worked as a vet tech in multiple veterinary clinics as well. I’m a professional groomer that works from home, my kiddos do home school, so my daily routine is usually about the same lol I groom just about every day, and also occasionally board for my long term clients With me working from home and having my kiddos home, I would absolutely prefer your pet to be dropped off and picked up, your pet will have the opportunity to play with my personal dogs, get to go outside plenty of times and also have that human interaction as well rather then being in a kennel/run for hours on end before getting let out to go potty.

“This was my first experience using Rover, as our normal dog walker was unavailable this week. I was very pleased! Grace’s communication was excellent. She always responded very quickly. She gave a detailed summary of her visit and many photos! I could tell my pup was well cared for on her walks. My 17 year old cat also got some love too! I highly recommend Grace! I hope to use her again!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 4 years and have experience caring for pets with special medical needs.

About: Hi there! I'm Delaney. Over the past year, I have fostered 2 dogs and 6 cats! Each foster was a new learning experience, gaining insight into animals boundaries and needs! Often having sick or injured rescue fosters, I have experience with giving topicals and oral medications. I have always had dogs, dealing with puppies up until elderly care. For many years I have been a sitter for my neighbors 2 cats and one dog. It has become a passion to help and take care of dogs and cats, and I hope to be everything you need for a pet sitting experience! I will be heading back to Columbia SC on August 16th and won’t be in Annapolis for pet sitting anymore! I am available all summer long, the only time I am unavailable is 9am to 12pm Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, while I am taking an EMT class at AACC! I usually wake up early, so I’ll be available before and after this class!! I am very active, love to take long walks or runs. I am very open to following pet owners lead.

I know how stressful being away from your pet is, and sending updates is crucial!! I am very communicative, respectful, and clean.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs my entire life and am also very comfortable caring for cats. I have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, breeds, and personalities, and I’m comfortable with the everyday responsibilities of pet care, including feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, bathing, and keeping pets on their usual routines. My own dog requires a little extra care, which has given me experience with pets who have special needs. I regularly manage multiple medications, help with mobility by carrying my dog up and down stairs, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe throughout the day. Because of this, I understand that some pets need a little more patience, attention, or assistance than others. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and take the time to learn what makes each pet feel comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves going for walks, your cat prefers some quiet company, or your pet needs extra help with their daily routine, I’ll give them the care and attention they deserve. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! 🐾 I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of daytime and evening availability throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate different routines and am happy to work around your pet’s needs. I also have flexibility for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays! I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I’ll always follow your instructions and try to keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, going on their usual walks, giving medications, or keeping up with any special care they need. I’m patient with pets and understand that some take a little longer to warm up to new people. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, supervision, and of course, lots of love! I also know Pet CPR, so I’m prepared to stay calm and know what to do if an emergency ever comes up. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll treat your space with the same care and respect I’d want someone to have in my own home. I’ll also send you plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can know your pet is doing well and getting lots of love!

“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.”
“I am so happy Emma was available last weekend! My dog, Stella, can be really skittish around new people but she warmed up to Emma immediately. Emma spoiled Stella while I was away...walks, visiting the dog park, puppacinnos, etc. I don't think Stella was ready to come home! Very happy with my experience and would absolutely recommend Emma.”
“Thank you, Savannah! Opie had a quick overnight trip with Savannah and Chandler. Very responsive. Easy peasy and Opie is a happy camper. Appreciate the happy home with a playmate for Opie to stay at.”
“I’m always a little nervous leaving my little guy with a dog sitter, because he tends to be a little anxious and antisocial, even a little sassy. But Sally was amazing with making him feel comfortable and gave him so much love! He even made a little friend with one of the other pups staying with her. It’s such a relief to know he’s in such good hands. Thank you Sally!”
“Eileen was great with Daisy. First time we left Daisy for 3 days to a sitter and we felt very comfortable with Eileen knowing that our baby is going to be looked after well. Thanks Eileen. Daisy will definitely return.”
“Susan was fantastic! She sent daily updates and made drop off and pick up very easy. She accomodated a last minute scheduling change due to Hurricane Michael, and I could not be more grateful for her flexibility and the care she provided for our girl. Will definitely use her again.”
“Great family to book with, will be using them in the future. My dog, Skye, seems to have had a blast on all of the walks and play time with people and other dogs. Thank you!”
“Qais was absolutely amazing! As a first-time user of a dog sitter, I was nervous about how my dog, Bear, would handle a new environment and other dogs, but he did incredibly well under Qais's care. Qais provided the exact attention and exercise Bear needed, making him feel right at home. I loved the constant updates, photos, and videos as it gave me total peace of mind while I was out of town knowing Bear was safe and loved. The sweetest part was leaving; another dog actually tried to jump in my trunk to go with Bear! It was so cute and proof of the happy environment Qais creates. Thank you, Qais! we will be back!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I grew up with two dogs and have spent years pet sitting and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I love walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every pup feels happy and comfortable while their humans are away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! 🐾 I currently work full time but have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my work schedule, and I’m happy to work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I love spending my free time outdoors and would be excited to have a furry companion join me! I’m happy to welcome dogs into my apartment and provide a comfortable, safe, and relaxed home away from home. Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles while they’re staying with me. I’ll do my best to keep their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel right at home!
“Gina was amazing and very accommodating! She has a real understanding of dogs, and she made sure to make Finn feel at home. I felt very confident that he was well cared for, and we enjoyed receiving pictures of him over the weekend. Would recommend her wholeheartedly!”
“Harvey and Cooper had a blast. Hannah was wonderful always let me know how the boys were doing and sent me tons of pictures. I really appreciate you checking in the night after we pick the boys up.”
“She was absolutely wonderful! My dog was well cared for-she didn’t want to leave! At pick up time, everything was packed and ready to go. Very professional, will definitely use her again.”
“Charlotte was so nice and patient with our senior pup. Minerva seemed to have a lot of fun in all of the pictures we received. We felt so comfortable leaving her with Charlotte while we were gone and would easily recommend her to anyone we know!”
“Janet is amazing. It is very clear that she is a knowledgeable dogsitter and she asks all the right questions. It's also clear that she loves my Lexie and take good care of her. Janet communicated with me throughout Lexie's stay with her and sent me pictures of how my girl was doing. Although it was clear that Lexie was ready to come home to Mom and Dad, it was also clear that she enjoyed her stay with Auntie J!”
“Kasey was amazing!! I needed a sitter last minute and she was more than accommodating! She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures and updates, which made me feel more at ease. I would highly recommend her!”
“This was my dog Wyatt’s first overnight experience with someone other than a family member, and I’m so glad it was with Katelyn. My somewhat anxious boy was instantly at ease in Katelyn’s comfortable home, and quickly warmed up to her, her daughter, and their dog Poky. Katelyn is very very warm and responsive, and kept us up to date with frequent text messages and photos. Wyatt had the time of his life! I would definitely entrust him to her care again in future!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life and couldn’t imagine it any other way. My cat Chanel has been with me for 5 years and my cocker spaniel Bentley for 1 year. I’ll treat your pets like my own with plenty of walks, cuddles, and love. I know how important it is to feel at ease when you’re away from your fur babies and I’ll make sure they’re happy and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and am able to go home throughout the day and check on your pet if I’m not already home. I am usually home all weekend and if not then your pet is welcome to join my activities! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet‑friendly apartment community with three dog parks, giving plenty of safe space to run and play. I’ll always keep a close eye on them, provide fresh water, and make sure they feel happy, loved, and cared for in a secure environment.
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, especially bulldogs and other large dog breeds, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and personalities. I also have experience caring for cats. In addition, I’ve watched neighbors’ small dogs while they were on vacation and have volunteered helping take care of dogs at Final Victory Animal Rescue. I’m active, dependable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s walking, playing, or making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. My schedule is widely open for the summer! There is no doubt I can fit your pet into my schedule whether that be on the weekends or throughout the week! I always prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their normal environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and house rules to help keep pets stress-free. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and supervision while also keeping the home clean and secure. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and safety on walks, around other animals, and in new environments. Having grown up around both large and small dogs, I’m comfortable handling different temperaments and energy levels. My goal is to make owners feel confident that their pets are being treated like family while they’re away
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.
