“I have hired through Rover before but Allison was hands down the most communicative dog sitter. It was nice receiving frequent videos and thoughtful check- ins. She seems really in tune with dogs and their behavior and needs. Would be happy to hire again.”
“Emily was fantastic with Minnie! Her home is incredibly dog-friendly, with plenty of beds, blankets, and a great backyard for play. Minnie stayed for one night, went on her walks, and I felt completely confident she was in good hands. If we’re ever back in Nashville, we would definitely book Emily again. Highly recommend!”

She was flexible working with our drop off and pick up schedule and I look forward to booking with her again if the need arises!”
“Highly recommended and very flexible with sudden schedule changes. Aubrey took a very good care of our Roxy and Luna and they had a blast! Will definitely be a repeat client!!!”

“Asmita was such a wonderful sitter!! I felt very safe leaving my dog with her. She always made sure to send me daily updates and pictures while i was away for almost 6 days! I was also extremely grateful for her being so flexible. As i had to make some last second changes to the exact dates i was going to be out of town but Asmita was very accommodating and kind. I would highly recommend her as a sitter to anyone else! I know my dog would be happy to see her again!”
“Dotty and Anna are the sweetest with our baby! We know she had a blast with them and are grateful to have found them to care for our girl. Blue felt right at home with them and that says a lot for a very shy girl like her! We would definitely be bring Blue to have sleepovers with Oslo again when we’re away!”
“This is my second time having Robin watch Sadie and she is just absolutely fabulous. She takes Sadie on walks and send photos and videos and it’s just been so kind. On top of that I asked her last night at the last minute if she would keep Sadie overnight and she without hesitation said of course she would love to. I would definitely recommend Robin and I will continue using her without a doubt!!!”

“Nathan and his family were so helpful and kind to take care of our girl when we needed help with boarding her for the day last minute. It was my first time boarding with her but I felt totally at ease after reading the other reviews and then meeting them upon drop-off. I would happily bring our dog back for another stay if we needed again.”
“Tara was so great with our puppy. Easy going, sent us pictures of him throughout. She let him snuggle in bed with her! She kept us informed and we would definitely use her again! Thanks Tara”

“Sarah was my Yorkie boy Henry’s dog whisperer which is rare the way he waived bye as I walked out the door. 😂. After meeting Sarah Henry instantly gravitated towards her. We spoke at length about Henry’s routine and I was assured I was leaving him in the best care. Should we return to Nashville Id immediately set us one time to spend time with her. Thanks Sarah for taking care of our boy.”
“Meghan and Terry were wonderful caretakers to my puppy. They did a great job sending me daily updates and pictures. Piper looked right at home during her stay. They were attentive to her needs, and administering her daily medication. I would book them again for any service.”

“I had a last-minute travel arrangement change that left me in need of care for my cat and Laura was so willing to jump in, and still made time to drop by to meet him and get the lay of the land before I left even on such short notice. She took great care of Lars in my absence, I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

Her communication was great, her updates were thoughtful, and it was obvious my cat was genuinely well cared for and comfortable. It was such a relief knowing everything was in good hands, and I won’t hesitate to book with her again!”
“Whitney was incredible! This was my first time being away from my cat since I got him, so I had a million questions and lots of little things to note. She handled everything I asked—and more. I was nervous leaving my cat with a stranger, but she completely put me at ease. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I have had cats all of my life, including starys that I adopted, and all have lived long, healthy lives. I am able to administer medications and even did shots for a diabetic cat. I don’t mind changing litter boxes and have a good system for my own cats so they always have a clean litter box. I often house & cat sit for my sister, who travels a lot. She usually has 2-5 indoor cats and also cares for several outdoor stary cats. She often finds them homes too. Her cats usually have different food needs and feeding schedules so I know how to separate cats who need different care. I don’t mind clipping nails, except one of my sister’s cats who won’t have it. I know how to transport cats and work with "difficult cats”. I produced several “Pet Care” series for HGTV, the DIY Network and TNN television shows, working with experts and veterinarians, including Dr. Craig Prior, owner of the Murphy Road Animal Hospital and a very popular vet in Nashville. He was also my personal vet for both my dogs and cats. I am retired so am available for any days and times. I also like taking photos and videos which I can share with clients so they see how their pet is doing.
“My cats are starting to feel very safe with Nill! She I’d great with them and although they are shy I can tell they love her pets and cuddling. I also love that she zebra pictures dcdg visit.”
“I was so grateful that Tahreem was able to step in at the last minute to check on my cats when another sitter had to cancel unexpectedly. She played with my cat that will come out & sent pictures every day. My other cat is shy & hides very well.”
“Kavya was very responsive when my usual sitter had to cancel last minute for the Christmas Holiday. She came over to meet the kitties the same day I messaged her, and the kitties were immediately at ease with her. She took great care of them and I got photos while I was away. As a veterinarian, I am very choosy about who watches my pets. I would absolutely have Kavya watch my kitties again and also have her watch my dogs in the future too.”
About: My cats are absolutely a highlight of my life! I have been a pet parent to six cats in my 22 years, and have lots of experience playing with them, feeding them, scooping their litter, etc. I have experience with cats of all ages, and have never met a cat I didn't like. I have also pet-sat for friends and neighbors many times over the years.
“Athena was the absolute best! She took care of our cat, Babs, over a long weekend and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her! She was always on time and went above and beyond on her visits. She sent lots of pictures and made sure she was well taken care of!!! Babs absolutely ADORED her and even cuddled with her, which is not something she usually does! 10000% recommend booking Athena!”
About: I’ve helped to care for dogs, cats, and more for friends and neighbors since childhood. My most valuable experience with dogs has come from volunteering at a dog rescue called Champs Chance in college. There I walked and handled dogs at events and transported them to vet appointments. It was there that I adopted my own dog, Mavis. I have handled dogs of many different breeds, demeanors, and sizes. I would love to provide the care that your pet deserves! I’m currently available during the week or on weekends to help out with your pet! Just let me know how I can help and I’ll be there! I am happy to provide some exercise and extra love to your pet(s)! I have some experience training dogs in the basics and am continuing to learn more, so I can help them to learn their leash manners if needed.
“Isabel is fantastic! We moved to town 3 days before we quickly needed to leave for the holidays. After a cross country move with our cat Spaghetti, the last thing we wanted to do was board him. Isabel is reliable, timely, trustworthy, communicative and incredibly loving. She made sure we had nothing to worry about. She even made an extra drop in to collect an unexpected package that had been delivered. If I could give her 10 stars - I would! Look no further - Highly recommend!”
“Thanks Beth, always very accommodating for Honey. I needed you in a pitch tonight. I was delayed on my flight back Nashville and Beth helped us out last minute!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Shelby Hills
“This was our first time having other folks watch Clemmie and we appreciate the care and photos! Megan and Kerry have a great set up, and our pup had fun playing! Excited to have her go back for more fun.”
“Emily took wonderful care of my fur baby, Sugar, while we were visiting Nashville. She has a large fenced yard where the dogs can play, and I appreciated the extra safety measures she took. Emily put Sugar’s collar on in addition to her harness in case she somehow got loose, which showed me she was thinking ahead and treating Sugar like one of her own. Before I left, Emily carefully introduced Sugar to the other dogs and made sure everyone got along and that Sugar was comfortable. That gave me tremendous peace of mind. I felt completely comfortable leaving my girl in her care, and it was obvious Sugar was well loved and well cared for while we were away. I would happily trust Emily with Sugar again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and conscientious pet sitter.”
“Robin was amazing with my pup even offering to pick up and drop off. I can tell they had a great time together and I never had any worried during their visit.”
“Carolyn was a fantastic dog sitter for us. Our dog Fillmore enjoyed spending the day with her. She was very responsive and provided great updates. I would recommend her to anyone and plan to use her again in the future.”
“As always Laura treats our precious Ivy like her own! Ivy had so much fun playing with Gidget and the fluffy toys. They love to run in the backyard together. Can’t wait for Ivy to come back!”
“Excellent sitter! Great communication. She sent lots of updates and took great care of my dog. My dog came home happy! Would definitely rebook next time I’m in the area!”
About: For 6 years I’ve shared my life with a rescue dog (Buster) and have walked and boarded dogs often. Buster loves having company around!

Just reach out and let me know what dates you need covered and I’m your guy! My dog Buster loves having company around and is a chill hang for any dog. You can ensure that your dog will not be bored or bothered! I can work around whatever your needs are! My job is flexible and I can work in-office and from home. You can guarantee that your dog will be given proper attention and exercise throughout the duration of their stay. Safe, dog-proofed home in an apartment complex right by the riverwalk with lots of dog-friendly accommodations. Will follow your exact routines and needs. And of course, daily photos and updates!
“Katherine was great, she was so nice and Benny seemed so happy and relaxed after he left her house. She took him for a walk, and sent updates and photos. I highly recommend her!”
“Our dog is very anxious but Paris put her at ease right away. She was calm and relaxed when we picked her up which shows how well she was taken care of. We will definitely use Paris again to take care of our dog.”
About: I am very diligent in safeguarding the pets in my care. I am kind and affectionate and I will respect your rules. I have been a pet owner for over 25 years. I have also been involved in caring for and rescuing many pets over the years. This has been my great joy. My home is pet friendly and pet safe. I understand how it feels to leave your beloved pets and I know how much it means to know that your sweet ones are feeling happy and well loved while you are away. I enjoy sending my clients pics of their pets during their stay. Providing secure accommodations and a fun place to stay is paramount. This is my absolute purpose, goal, and pleasure. Pet sitting is my only job. I am home all day. With your approval, your dogs will be free to enjoy inside or outside. I have a secure privacy fence and a pet door for easy access. Of course, if you prefer a more regimented potty break schedule and time outside, I am happy to oblige. I allow dogs to make themselves at home. Sitting on furniture is a-okay. (as long as you approve.) I will certainly respect your rules. I like our dog visitors to be comfortable, feeling safe and welcome. I have a ChiWeenie; who sleeps A LOT and keeps to herself mostly; however, she is friendly. I also have a very friendly and playful Jack Russell/Beagle mix who enjoys company. My yard is secure and fun. We also have patio furniture they can lounge on. I keep our upstairs access gated. Of course, I will follow your instruction in regard to their sleeping. I am happy to do a “meet and greet” prior to your scheduling.
“Absolutely! I cannot recommend Angeli highly enough! From the moment I entrusted my beloved furry friend into their care, I knew I had found someone truly exceptional. Angeli demonstrated not only a genuine love for animals but also unparalleled professionalism and dedication. They went above and beyond to ensure my dog's comfort and happiness, providing daily updates and photos that brought me immense peace of mind during my time away. Their attention to detail, reliability, and compassionate approach set them apart. My dog returned home visibly content, a testament to the fantastic care they received. Thank you, Angeli, for your outstanding service!”
About: I’ve had dogs in the house all of my life and grew up taking care of my neighbors dogs as well. I have experience with dogs ranging all over from 5 lbs to 80 lbs! Most of my experience is taking care of a labor doodle and cat pairing where I managed both their schedules and needs accordingly! :) Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily routine, and I prioritize consistency, attention, and making sure each pet feels comfortable and cared for. I build my schedule around regular feeding times, fresh water, exercise, and quality time, whether that means walks, playtime, or just being present and attentive to their needs. I genuinely enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine and treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m always respectful of others’ homes! If there is an alarm system I’m happy to set it or inform the owner of every entrance/exit so the owner can set it in order to ensure the safety of their pet and belongings!
About: I have taken care of countless dogs and foster animals for many years! Have had a lot of family pets and also volunteered with the humane society for many years. I am currently unemployed so I am very available for walks or doggy day care during the day! Whatever works best for you and your dog. I have a large yard with a run and air conditioning inside along with lots of leash walking experience. Plenty of room for a crate as well if needed.
About: Hi! We are Saori and Jonathan. We love pups and hope to take care of yours. Jonathan grew up caring for his family dog, and we have regularly taken care of friends' dogs for 10+ years. We finally adopted our own rescue dog in 2020 (an adorable little Beagle named Alfie), who has taken a *very* long time to come out of his shell. We have a lot of experience working with professionals to improve Alfie's anxiety. That experience has taught us a lot about reading dog body language and the importance of creating an environment that makes nervous dogs more comfortable. Your dog will get that same loving, calm energy here. We strive to make our home a dog-friendly location safe for every dog. Saori works part-time from home, and therefore has a lot of flexibility to play with your pooch and spend quality time together! On a typical day, we take dogs for a walk on the quiet neighborhood streets, on the trails in Shelby Bottoms, or in the dog park (if they are up for it). On weekends, we like to take a longer walk on trails whenever we can, and have plenty of cozy downtime at home in between. Given our own dog's separation anxiety, someone is always at home. If we ever need to leave them alone, we will let you know. We have fenced-in front and back yards where your pup can enjoy a sniffing adventure, playing fetch, or sunbathing on the lawn. We have dog beds throughout the house, and our canine guests are allowed on any furniture. We do not crate our dog, but can keep the same routine you have at home and let your dog sleep wherever they are most comfortable. We feed our dog twice a day and can accommodate other schedules or feeding dogs separately.
About: Hi everyone, I’m Bre! I tried Rover briefly back in 2022 before becoming a full-time foster dog mom. I’m excited to give it another try! I work a normal Monday-Friday office job but I work next door to my apartment community! So I can walk over to take dogs on walks multiple times a day. My fiancé works from home so he will be there all day as well. Pets are my favorite roommates! I live in a beautiful apartment community that’s full of dogs. I do have permission to dog sit from management! Dogs are welcome to free roam my apartment
About: I have had dogs in my family my whole life, I used to watch all of my neighbor’s dogs as a kid and teenager. I got my own dog when I got to college and used to always be the friend that watched everyone’s dog. I love any animals and will treat any dog I meet as my own! I’m currently waiting on a class date from an airline, I left my former job to live in Nashville with my girlfriend and her dog. Until then and have nothing but time! We do multiple walks a day and give Winnie (her dog) plenty of attention! I have a very friendly female golden retriever that lives here and a nice balcony to get some fresh air. We take plenary of walks to soak in the sun and get some exercise!
“Carolyn is so patient and caring with my 5 month old puppy! Her sweet dog, Kirby, is also so welcoming. Carolyn was very flexible with drop off changes and is wonderful to work with. Could not recommend more!”

“Kirstie is amazing. She has great energy and is very friendly. Kona took to her immediately and she treated him like he was her own dog. I was very impressed with how fast Kona and Kirstie connected. She was able to quickly pick up the commands and rules Kona follows and we felt comfortable leaving our dog in such good hands.”
About: I’ve loved dogs and cats my whole life! I have been pet sitting/ walking since I was old enough to, and I now own two lovely cats :) I love pets of all ages, breeds, and sizes, and am very patient / experienced with elderly and young pets. As a musician, I get to create my own schedule—meaning I am very flexible and can adapt to your needs. If you’ll have me, I’d love to treat your precious ones with the same love and care i could my own someday :) I have a very flexible schedule at the moment! I can create my daily schedule based on your needs. I am organized and reliable, and have no problem waking up very early or staying late to make sure your pets are happy and safe! I am very gentle with pets, but also very playful! I recognize that they are often home alone for a good portion of the day, and that they would love a companion and a way to release energy. In my own home, I carve out time each and every day to properly stimulate my cats! In others’ homes, I do my best to appear as a familiar figure in the pets’ safe space. With cats, I take a gentler approach. With dogs, I let them sniff and then shower them with cuddles and playtime! And on walks, I am happy to walk them for as long as needed. I recognize that some dogs need a lot of exercise or stimulation, and with my active lifestyle it’s nothing I can’t handle.
“Allie is wonderful! I had her walk my dog while I was at work. She is a great communicator, giving me updates and photos of my baby whenever she is with him. Will definitely be hiring her again in the future!!”
“Ally is fantastic! She walked my dog and my mom’s dog while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. She came to meet our dog beforehand and was extremely professional and nice. We had such peace of mind on our vacation knowing Ally was giving Finn, consistent, good walks! We will absolutely be using her again.”
“Niki is absolutely incredible! She took care of all of Mable’s needs while I was at work and I will definitely use her whenever she’s available! Best experience I’ve had on Rover so far!”
About: I have been pet sitting for friends, family members, and neighbors since I was in middle school. I have also always been a regular volunteer at the animal shelters, so I have experience with all kinds of dog personalities, behaviors, and activity levels. I have trained all my dogs myself so if you are looking for help with a puppy/newly adopted dog, I’d love to help encourage those good behaviors while you are away! I work a pretty relaxed, work from home schedule. I am extremely active so would love to help you out with walks while you are at work, but would also love some couch potato company if that’s what your pet is into! Currently not available for any new walk/drop in requests Mondays & Wednesdays from 11-2. For drop-in visits, I will always take the time to figure out what your pet needs, and never make them feel rushed! For walks, I will cater our time to whatever your pet is looking for, whether that is as much distance as possible or as many stops and sniffs as possible! The end goal is your pet coming home happy and healthy and I’m more than happy to do whatever that takes!
“Jacqueline was phenomenal! She showed up for every walk exactly when she promised she would and did a great job exercising my higher energy dogs. She was very sweet and seemed super responsible. She sent pictures and updates timely and I would absolutely hire her again in a heartbeat!”

About: Hi! I’m Macy – a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. I raised my own pup, Teddy, from about week 10, and that experience taught me patience, intuition, and how to build trust with animals.A few summers back, I cared for my sister and brother-in-law's dogs in Atlanta—a sweet Cavalier and a high-energy German Shepherd—which meant managing very different needs and energy levels all day, every day. It was a full house, but I loved every minute of it. I have a large, secure backyard perfect for playtime, and I’m an avid walker and runner (half-marathon girly here!), so your dog will get plenty of fresh air and exercise. With a hybrid work schedule 1 day a week at home, I can give pets extra attention and companionship throughout the day. I treat every animal like my own, and I’d love to help give yours the same love, care, and fun they’re used to at home. I work from home on Fridays, which means your pet will have plenty of company and care throughout the day. I build in regular breaks to take dogs on walks, play in the yard, and keep up with feeding routines. Whether your pet needs activity or just a calm presence nearby, I’m here to make them feel safe and loved. Creating a safe, trusted environment is my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, whether that means extra snuggles, space to roam, or a calm, quiet spot to relax. In addition to my WFH days, I’d love to welcome your dog for overnight stays—especially on weekends, when they can enjoy plenty of time outside playing with my friendly dog, Teddy, in the backyard. I'm happy to crate your pup or let them have free roam of the house—whatever makes them (and you!) most comfortable.
About: I’m originally from Venezuela and I used to be around my 3 dogs all the time. I was taking care of a cat for almost 2 years before I move to Nashville I recently move to Nashville. I’m available most weekdays and excited to spend time with dogs. My routine includes scheduled walks, feeding, playtime to ensure their happiness I provide loving, reliable pet care by following routines, ensuring playtime, and keeping spaces clean. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, offering a safe, comfortable environment
About: I'm a 10 year old cat mom and a dog auntie! I have taken care of both dogs and cats for years. I am familiar with giving animals, specifically cats, medicine (my cat has had urinary issues throughout the years) and I LOVE when my friends ask me to watch/play/walk their sweet doggies. I am currently working part time so my availability is very flexible. I work Wednesdays and Thursdays and have majority of the days open the remainder of the week. I respect boundaries and any specific notes that you have for your animals. They are a part of the family so when I enter the home I want them to feel safe and loved.
“Riley consistently goes above and beyond in walking our dog. She communicates right away if she is held up in traffic, but is on time 99% if the time. She gives our energetic boy a generous walk each day.”
About: I absolutely love animals! My mom calls me the animal whisperer because every animal l meet loves me just as much. I believe it's because they know I'm a good person and they can trust me. Either way, your animal will be loved and looked after until their fur mom and fur dad gets home. I'm available all week 😄 you just let me know when you need me and I will be there for you and your fur babies ❤️ Unless the owner has a special way to care for their fur babies, then I just go with the flow. I do whatever makes their fur babies happy and have a great day while in my care.
About: I have always been an animal person. I love animals and I love the privilege of getting to know their personalities and getting to take great care of them. I have a great flexible schedule that allows me to fill whatever pet needs you may have. I love going on walks and having a pet with me is such a bonus! My own cats are taken care of like queens. Your pets will be no different! I am happy to fill your pet needs and beyond.
About: Throughout my life, I’ve always had family pets; fish, chickens, a horse, dogs, a hamster, cats - you name it! Growing up, I was the person who wanted to help with feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and making sure our pets felt loved. Two years ago, I got my own puppy, a miniature dachshund! Having my first pup all to myself gave me even more experience with pet care and understanding a dog's individual needs and personality. Since moving to Nashville, my pup has stayed back in my hometown with my parents, where she has a yard to run around and the familiar people she loves. While I know keeping her home was the best decision for her and she's thriving, I miss her tons and realized that I need pets in my life again! I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with the same patience, affection, and care that I would want for my own dog. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, companionship, or simply someone dependable to stick to their routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently taking the summer off, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pet throughout the week. Just reach out and let me know your ideal schedule! At my apartment, I have a roommate who may be around, but will not be involved in caring for your pet. We have one cat who is quite shy and very sweet. Because of this, we have plenty of cat toys, food, and a spare litter box should your kitty come over! As for dogs, we have plenty of space, though no dog-specific toys/equipment. If your pup comes over, I will happily bring anything from your home that they’ll need to have a comfy stay. In general, my apartment has plenty of space for your pet to lounge, play, and have a great time. For outside time, we have a small balcony with 3.5ft tall safety railings that will allow your pet to get fresh air at any time. Beyond the balcony, I live in a walkable neighborhood that’s great for walks, playtime, exercise, and potty breaks. When at your home, I will always be respectful of your space. Ensuring I leave everything exactly as I found it, I’ll maximize time with your pet while also keeping the area tidy! When working with me, please just let me know any boundaries you have within your home and I’ll happily abide.

“Hank had a blast staying with Maddy! The daily update pictures were so thoughtful, especially since it was Hank’s first time staying with them. Will definitely be using Maddy for future stays!”
“Nathan and his family were so helpful and kind to take care of our girl when we needed help with boarding her for the day last minute. It was my first time boarding with her but I felt totally at ease after reading the other reviews and then meeting them upon drop-off. I would happily bring our dog back for another stay if we needed again.”
“Troy was beyond fantastic! Kept me updated with photos and took such great care of my dog which left me with ease while I was away. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter - highly recommend!!”
“Sarah was my Yorkie boy Henry’s dog whisperer which is rare the way he waived bye as I walked out the door. 😂. After meeting Sarah Henry instantly gravitated towards her. We spoke at length about Henry’s routine and I was assured I was leaving him in the best care. Should we return to Nashville Id immediately set us one time to spend time with her. Thanks Sarah for taking care of our boy.”
“Maggie was fantastic. She was so kind to do a meet and greet prior to our booking to meet Howdy and our booking went off without a hitch. She sent lots of pictures, took him for walks and kept us updated on his eating and potty habits 10/10 will book again!”
“olivia was great. my dog looked happy every day through her updates and was very happy to see me when i got back. really appreciated she had a good bit of yard space that he could run around and get that energy out.”
“We are so happy we found Joe to watch our dog when we had to go out of town. Joe was kind, accommodating, and our dog instantly warmed up to him. He provided us daily pictures and updates- and she seemed right at home! We will absolutely be using Joe for all our dog sitting needs and could not have had a better experience. Thanks for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Marialejandra was amazing with my dog! I’m always a little anxious because my pup is an incredibly nervous girl but Marialejandra took such good care of her and was very consistent with updates.”
“My girls loved their stay with Daniela and her family! They got lots of attention and came home happy and sleepy! She kept me updated with lots of photos throughout the week. Would 10/10 use Daniela again!”
“Angeli was super responsive, and took great care of Oreo. She provided frequent updates, and made me feel at ease. I will definitely book with her again!”
“I must say this was the best dog sitting experience I have had. Austin was wonderful. His home was clean. And my dog is a big dog so there was plenty of yard for my dog to run and get exercise. As well as plenty of space indoors. He sent pictures and kept me updated on how Nova was doing. Very friendly and will definitely be using his services again.”
“Rachael was phenomenal! I’m always hesitant to leave my dog with just anyone but Rachael eased any of my worries! She kept me updated while I was away and had great communication. The backyard is wonderful- Luna was very happy when I picked her up. Highly recommend :)”
