About: Call me Libby :) Dogs are my absolute passion in life! I was raised in a home with dogs and I’ve been a personal pet owner for over 10 years. I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between! I’ve had dogs in hospice care, with special needs, medical issues, etc. I have basic training skills and there are no stairs in my home in case your dog can’t use them. I have a large fenced in yard for play time or sunbathing in a safe and quiet neighborhood. They will be treated as if they are my own and loved on for every minute they are in my care! I run my own business so my work hours are flexible. I never leave the home for more than 4-5 hours at the absolute maximum. My 2 dogs and I go on evening walks everyday (after it’s cooled off in the summer time) and lots of outdoor time in between. My life revolves around my dogs needs so yours will fit in perfectly! I have a large fenced in yard and crates of different sizes if you need or want them to be crated. I have two friendly dogs so your baby will never be alone. My youngest dog will be a loving companion to your pet and make sure they feel like they’re at home. Whether that’s playing or napping, he will fall in love with them instantly!
“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“Julie is awesome! She went way above and beyond what I expected and made huge efforts to make Ginger (my high-energy Harrier) comfortable in her home. I love that she used positive reinforcement to keep Ginger inline instead of negative feedback. Ginger even escaped from her house and thank goodness Julie was able to call her back. Julie sent tons of updates via video and pictures keeping me well informed of everything going on during her stay. Ginger had ZERO separation anxiety when I picked her up and brought her back to my house. She normally has very extreme separation anxiety and I was out of town for a long time, so this was a HUGE relief for me (and Ginger I imagine as well!) Having Ginger stay in a loving home environment was so much better for her than the typical dog boarding environments. I feel like I picked up Ginger from an extended sleepover, not an exity filled environment typical to boarding. I highly recommend Julie to watch your pet!!! Your little one will feel so loved and welcomed. Julie is awesome!!!”
“Matt was wonderful and easy to work with. Our dog Marlowe loved being at his house and having other playmates to be around. He communicated concisely and quickly with us. He took fantastic care of our little one and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Grateful to have found Aaren and Jordon. I felt comfortable trusting our boy with them the moment we met. We appreciated the great communication and the pictures/updates we received during Apollo‘s stay. Plus he got plenty of walking in so we know he loved that. Will be rebooking when that time comes. Thanks guys!”
“This is our second time booking with Angelica, and she is truly heaven-sent! She always provides Benzino with exceptional care, love, and hospitality. He enjoys his time with her so much that he didn't even want to leave! 🤣 She sent us multiple daily updates with the best pictures and videos. Angelica, thank you for taking such great care of our baby. We appreciate you more than you know and are so grateful to have found you. Benzino’s new BFF 🫶 She is highly recommended!”
“Pamela and Paul (and their dog Marlowe) are fantastic! They took amazing care of our pup, Riley. We did a meet and greet before our booking, and it was so nice to meet them and see how our pups would get along. It’s clear that they take this job very seriously and truly care about the pups as if they were their own. They have a lovely home with a fenced in backyard that the pups can run around in, and they let Riley sleep in their bed. 😊 Highly recommend!”
“Hilary was wonderful with my pup and even set up a meet and greet prior to my stay to ensure he was comfortable in her home. She really eased my mind about having to leave him for the first time and made sure he was happy the whole time! She was also very understanding and accommodating when I had to end his stay sooner than expected due to him getting sick. She offered to care for him but I choose to have a friend come get him to take him to the vet instead just so he was with someone he knew. However, Hillary’s updates on his health during the time he was with her were thorough and helped keep me calm during this very stressful situation!”
“Michaela was absolutely fantastic with Zephyr and it was so clear he had such a great time with her this weekend! During our stay she sent tons of pictures to keep me updated on what Zeph was up to and was very communicative throughout the whole rover process. We met ahead of time during a meet and greet where Zeph got tons of time to get to know his new aunt Michaela and vice versa and it was clear to see how great she was with handling him from the start. We will absolutely be back and are so happy to have met you! Thanks so much for taking such great care of Zephyr!”
About: I have two amazing dogs, Milo and Winter, that play constantly! They are best of friends and always welcome new friends. Milo is an 8 month old puppy still learning house training and making amazing progress. I found him at a rescue in Philly when I was visiting March 2026- love at first site! He clicked so well with my German Shepherd mix Winter, that I rescued in June 2025. Prior to falling in love with these two rescues, I helped foster several dogs through a local rescue- while healing from the loss of my dog of 13 years, Bella. She was a one dog household kind of girl, but Winter was just the opposite. I could tell she needed a friend, and Milo came into our lives at just the right time. I so look forward to helping care for your fur babies and will give them all the walks, plays, and cuddles they might need. I’ll ensure all your care is personalized to your dog’s specific needs. Also, would love to send you pic updates while you’re at work or adventuring! If your dog is in my care for doggy daycare, I will be home with them, unless otherwise discussed with you. If I’m hired to come walk your dog, I’ll give you a detailed update of our walk! I am home and available 7 days a week, unless I’m traveling. My dogs get lots of attention and walks. We love the James River Park system 🫶 I will ask for lots of detail about your pets specific needs so I can curate their care so they feel right at home! A home away from home.
“I really appreciate the loving care Laura & her family gave Harvey while we were away for 2 weeks! It was our first time leaving him since adopting him in Nov & it was very important to me that he would be in a nice home that welcomed him as part of the family. That is exactly what Laura provided! She is easy going & a good communicator, responding to all my questions quickly before & during Harvey's stay & sending pictures & notes of Harvey's daily activities. I highly recommend Laura!”
“Ashley is loving, responsible and communicative. Our dog was pretty out of practice being away from his family due to the pandemic. Ashley made sure our dog settled in and enjoyed his stay. Our dog came back happy, well-exercised and relaxed. Thank you, Ashley!”
“Cyndi was so good with our small, skittish, anxious dog that doesn’t like to be away from his people and who is dog reactive. She provided regular updates and photos and answered any questions before the stay.”
“Jeff was great to work with! He responded quickly to all messages and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. He provided daily photo or video updates and Carmen felt good when she got home. We will definitely request him again!”
“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”
“Left my 5 month puppy Leahla with Sheri and her family for the weekend through out the stay she kept me updated and sent pictures of Leahla. Definitely will be booking again.”

“Teresa was excellent with my large, often anxious, cat Sherlock. Upon my return I found a happy Sherlock with none of the usual stress symptoms. Teresa also communicated frequently and sent photos of all the snuggles and other antics Sherlock got up to each day. It was great to see my cat happy while I was away!”
“Kylie was such a great sitter for us last minute before taking a day trip. She sent ample photos and made our kitten feel so comfortable while we were out. She was very kind, professional, and caring. Would absolutely recommend to anyone for their cat sitting needs!”
“Audrina is wonderful… a true kitty lover and all around lovely lady… She is very conscientious about her business and, not only takes great care of your pet, but is careful with your home… which is much appreciated… We’re fans!”
“Cynthia was always prompt, careful, and caring for our animals. Very communicative, professional, and we will be booking her for all future traveling if she's available.”
“Kyra did an amazing job taking care of my three cats while I was out of town. She even got my cranky old man cat to play a little bit with her which isn’t something just anyone manages! All three of my kitlets are quite the characters, and Kyra somehow captured their personalities in the photo updates she sent. I’ll definitely be hiring her again when I have to be away from home.”
“Virginia went above and beyond. We adore the pictures and videos she sends of our girls. She did an amazing job getting our diabetic cat’s blood sugars and handling her many meds. The cats clearly love her company. Would 100% recommend and we will be using her again.”
“Kay does a great job checking in on my cat. She is very reliable and responsive. I really appreciate her flexibility when I need to book or modify our booking last minute.”
“Erin was such a reliable and attentive cat sitter! I was relieved to see her details and specifics of the boys behavior with drop in visit notes. It helped me know my boys were in great hands. Thank you again Erin!!!!”
“Sidney came to my rescue last minute when my pet sitter had a family emergency. My cats immediately took to her and she gave me much needed peace of mind a day out from my trip!”
“Holland did a wonderful job of looking after my cat, Lucy. She was always on time, took plenty of pictures/videos, and was even able to give her eye drops. I knew that Lucy was in good hands, and appreciated her thoughtfulness. Will definitely rebook again!”
“Jeffrey is fantastic! He communicated so well, made sure to send lots of check in photos, and showed up right on time within the requested timeframes. I would 100% recommend booking Jeffrey for your pet sitting/caretaking needs!”
“Abigale is very sweet, reliable, and made us feel like our cat was loved while we were gone! She sent great updates and pictures that helped us not miss our little guy so much :)”
“Harlee is an incredible sitter! During our meet and greet she took time to sit down and familiarize herself with my cat and home environment. She is very considerate and thoughtful - when I was having issues with the delivery of my cat’s medication, she took extra measures to coordinate with me to get my cat’s meds. During my vacation I felt at ease knowing my cat was in safe hands!”
“Aly is the nicest, kindest pet sitter I have used to watch my fur baby! She boarded my kitty Mochi while I was out of the country for 1 month. Before I booked the sitting she set up a meet and greet so that Mochi would feel more comfortable once she was dropped off for the long stay. Due to an injury during my trip I had to extend the boarding for an additional 9 days on very short notice. Aly was super accommodating and was more than happy to extend the stay and even went to thw store to get Mochi more food! During the boarding she sent regular updates and pictures so I knew Mochi was happy and well taken care of! I would absolutely recommend Aly to any and everyone I know that is looking for a pet sitter. Mochi was so happy and misses Aly already 🥰”

“William was great with Church and very attentive throughout the day. He made sure Church was comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and I appreciated the communication and updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing Church was in good hands. I would definitely book again and recommend him to others looking for reliable doggy day care.”
“Great with my little one she is old and spoiled Chihuahua and she just keeps getting spoiled. Loves the yard to run in and play with the bigger dogs sometimes. But the best part is she is worn out by the time we get home. And they are so flexible with my crazy schedule.”

“My dog loved going to Cindy’s for day care. I can tell because he always runs into her house when we get there. Cindy was great, sent lots of pics and actually got him to eat his food. Lots of other dogs to play with too. I felt at ease while I was at work knowing that he was taken care of! Look forward to sending him there again.”
“Caroline is very friendly and responsive. She immediately clicked with my mini poodle after their first meeting. She sends great pictures and video updates so you know how your baby is doing throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her for daycare.”

I have an apartment with plenty of walking trails around and grassy areas to accommodate pups needs ! We have elevator to assist for older fur babies that can not do the stairs!
“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”
“We are very appreciative of Amanda and her husband for taking great care of our boys! Amanda is very communicative, caring and flexible which has been critical for our dog care needs. Can’t wait for our pups’ next stay!”

About: I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or sticking to a detailed care schedule, I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands.

I also administer medications if needed, reinforce any routines you’ve established, and keep your home tidy by cleaning up after your pet. After every visit, I’ll send you updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I've never not had animals in my life! I spent my early years on a working farm and have always had a way with animals. Dogs love me (cats, too!) and I them ❤️ I have many years of experience in the veterinary field and know what to do in emergencies. I am currently working part time and my schedule is flexible. I do work away from home for 5-8 hours a day, split shift. I have dogs amd cats but can keep them separate, if necessary. My dogs are dog friendly, although my beagle mix is very bossy (typical!) Dogs will be in the house with my dogs, but they can be separated, if needed. I can crate, if the parents supply the crate. Dogs will be leash walked in the wide front yard but we can also go across the street to the dog park, too!

I have experience raising and fostering puppies, seniors, and everything in between!

“Marlowe is awesome! She loves (and can handle!) my very excitable pit and is great with her. Lisa is always tired after a visit with Marlowe. It gives me so much peace of mind to know that Lisa can get some quality play and snuggle time during the day with Marlowe. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I specialize in thoughtful, low-stress care for cats of all personalities—from social and playful to shy and selective. I take the time to understand each cat’s routine, preferences, and boundaries so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience with multi-cat households, administering basic medications, and caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m highly reliable, communicative, and detail-oriented, and I treat your home and your cat with the same level of care I would expect for my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your cat is in calm, capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to plan my day around visits, ensuring I’m always on time and able to provide consistent, attentive care. I’m intentional about not overbooking so each cat receives the time, attention, and calm presence they deserve. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or a longer visit, I prioritize being fully present and dependable. I focus on maintaining each cat’s normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. During visits, I handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, and playtime or companionship based on your cat’s personality. I take the time to understand preferences — whether that’s interactive play, quiet company, or simply respecting their space. I’m attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite and will always communicate anything noteworthy. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping things clean and consistent. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your cat is doing.

“First time ever using the app so I was really nervous about it, but DAMACIA made me feel completely at ease. She listened to all my concerns and how to take care of my sweet boy because he is hard of hearing. She took him on a walk around the neighborhood and Maximus seemed to enjoy it. Now that the walk is over my sweet boy is passed out on the couch probably for the rest of the day. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”
About: Ive taken care of many breeds of dogs from various sizes and ages since I can remember. I currently own a puppy and am loving every part of it. I currently work part-time from 5am-9am so I have plenty of time during the rest of the day to take care of your pets whenever! I love taking my dogs on trails and around the neighborhood to make sure they get plenty of exercise and enrichment. This is important to ensure they stay happy!
About: I’ve always been an animal person and have experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles, including my own ball python. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd who can be very anxious, so I’m used to being patient with nervous pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve pet sat for animals of all different temperaments, including a cat with a more aggressive personality, so I understand the importance of respecting each animal’s boundaries and adapting to their individual needs. I love spending time outdoors and taking walks, and I know the Richmond area well. With two years of professional housekeeping experience, I’m comfortable caring for both pets and homes with the same level of respect and attention to detail I’d want for my own. My goal is to provide dependable care for both your pet and your home, while making sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I work about 20 hours a week as an esthetician and make my own schedule, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. Because I set my own hours, I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I would love to fit pet care into my routine. I believe every pet is different, so I do my best to follow their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while keeping up with their feeding schedule and any specific instructions you provide. For cats staying in my home, I’ll provide a calm, safe environment where they can settle in at their own pace. Having lived with multiple cats of various personalities, I understand that some cats are social while others prefer their space, and I’m happy to accommodate both! I will stay in regular communication, providing updates and photos so you always know how they’re doing!
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and I've never met a dog or cat I didn't love! My childhood dog (Macy, 120lb Leonberger) could be quite the handful on a walk but learning to control such a large dog has definitely helped me with my dog walking experience. I am now a proud cat mom of my beloved Rotisserie and spoil him rotten ♡. I have been pet sitting / dog walking since I was in high school. I have worked in homes with all types of pet situations from new born puppies to homes with seven cats! I really enjoy going on nice long walks to allow dogs to sniff and explore while getting all their energy out! I also love to sit / cuddle / play with dogs in the home or backyard! I am also experienced with reptiles having owned a beautiful bearded dragon, Celeste, for 5 years!
About: I’m a medical student at VCU on summer break and missing my own pets at home. I’ve walked neighborhood dogs and fostered shelter dogs and cats for several years and have volunteered walking dogs at Richmond Animal League (RAL) for the past year. I’m responsible, hardworking, and dependable and looking forward to meeting you and your pets! I’m a medical student on summer break for the next couple months and will be doing research remotely from home so my schedule is very flexible and I can adapt my timing to yours. I’m comfortable caring for your pets in my apartment having fostered pets here in the past or coming to your home. I’ve worked with shy dogs, energetic pups, playful puppies and everything in-between! I’m comfortable with a range and have also given medications and done some training if that’s something that needs to be continued.
About: I've been surrounded by critters since I was a little girl - from fish to foster puppies, reptiles, rats, bunnies, dogs, cats, and everything in between. Basically, you name it, I've hugged it. In the past year, I've started dog sitting regularly for several families in my hometown of Louisville, as well as in South Hadley, where I go to school. I love spending time with animals and look forward to getting to know yours! I'm a student in Richmond for the summer with a flexible schedule - I have plenty of free time all day, every day, and would love to spend my free time with your critters! I know all pets have unique needs, and am always willing to adhere to what you feel is best - whether that means six walks a day, regular litter box cleanings, or three-hour playtimes. I will always leave your house clean and make sure that your pet has all of their needs (and more) taken care of.
About: I’ve been dog-sitting for about 5 years now. I’ve mainly taken care of small to medium sized dogs but I’m open to looking after larger dogs as well. I am very reliable and have a lot of energy to keep your dog entertained throughout the day. I love going for walks and and going to dog parks if allowed by the owner. I live in an apartment and it’s dog-friend and the apartment has a dog area where they can relieve themselves. I live in a studio apartment but there’s plenty of open space where your pup can lounge around. I’m very attentive of your dogs needs, so I stay on top of taking them out for walks and making sure their water bowl is kept full and following their feeding schedule. Also open to grooming and showering your dog, especially if they are staying overnight with me. If your pup is energetic and loves to play we will be a great match!!
About: When I was younger I would naturally gravitate towards animals, if I was at someone’s house you’d find me hanging out with the dog or cat. Because of this I’ve always been trusted to care for them and have gained experience from a young age with many different pets with ranging needs and personalities. I personally have a three year old cat named Linus, he is extremely loving, playful, and screams at me every morning for breakfast. I often care for different pets and really enjoy giving them the attention they deserve. I’m currently doing online classes and have a very flexible schedule with my part-time job. I am open to working with anyone’s schedule and can do overnights any night. I will care for your pet as I would mine, with all precautions and care taken to ensure the safety of your pet or pets. I appreciate detailed instructions and if I’m unsure of anything I will ask.

“Laura had my dog nova for a week.Great with keeping you updated on your pet.Nova had a blast will definitely use Laura again.My dog was sad to go home that’s how much fun she had”
“Matt was wonderful and easy to work with. Our dog Marlowe loved being at his house and having other playmates to be around. He communicated concisely and quickly with us. He took fantastic care of our little one and we would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“Grateful to have found Aaren and Jordon. I felt comfortable trusting our boy with them the moment we met.

Thanks guys!”
“Hilary was wonderful with my pup and even set up a meet and greet prior to my stay to ensure he was comfortable in her home. She really eased my mind about having to leave him for the first time and made sure he was happy the whole time! She was also very understanding and accommodating when I had to end his stay sooner than expected due to him getting sick. She offered to care for him but I choose to have a friend come get him to take him to the vet instead just so he was with someone he knew. However, Hillary’s updates on his health during the time he was with her were thorough and helped keep me calm during this very stressful situation!”
About: I have two amazing dogs, Milo and Winter, that play constantly! They are best of friends and always welcome new friends. Milo is an 8 month old puppy still learning house training and making amazing progress. I found him at a rescue in Philly when I was visiting March 2026- love at first site! He clicked so well with my German Shepherd mix Winter, that I rescued in June 2025. Prior to falling in love with these two rescues, I helped foster several dogs through a local rescue- while healing from the loss of my dog of 13 years, Bella. She was a one dog household kind of girl, but Winter was just the opposite. I could tell she needed a friend, and Milo came into our lives at just the right time. I so look forward to helping care for your fur babies and will give them all the walks, plays, and cuddles they might need. I’ll ensure all your care is personalized to your dog’s specific needs. Also, would love to send you pic updates while you’re at work or adventuring! If your dog is in my care for doggy daycare, I will be home with them, unless otherwise discussed with you. If I’m hired to come walk your dog, I’ll give you a detailed update of our walk! I am home and available 7 days a week, unless I’m traveling. My dogs get lots of attention and walks. We love the James River Park system 🫶 I will ask for lots of detail about your pets specific needs so I can curate their care so they feel right at home! A home away from home.
“I really appreciate the loving care Laura & her family gave Harvey while we were away for 2 weeks! It was our first time leaving him since adopting him in Nov & it was very important to me that he would be in a nice home that welcomed him as part of the family. That is exactly what Laura provided! She is easy going & a good communicator, responding to all my questions quickly before & during Harvey's stay & sending pictures & notes of Harvey's daily activities. I highly recommend Laura!”
“Cyndi was so good with our small, skittish, anxious dog that doesn’t like to be away from his people and who is dog reactive. She provided regular updates and photos and answered any questions before the stay.”
“Jeff was great to work with! He responded quickly to all messages and was flexible with drop off and pick up times. He provided daily photo or video updates and Carmen felt good when she got home. We will definitely request him again!”
“Myrna was great with our dog Archie!! She's very experienced with watching dogs and her house seems like a great environment for dogs to have a great time. I'd highly recommend her!”
“Left my 5 month puppy Leahla with Sheri and her family for the weekend through out the stay she kept me updated and sent pictures of Leahla. Definitely will be booking again.”
“Cassandre was fabulous! She welcomed my Leo with open arms and treated him like family ❤️ I received pictures and updates daily! Which was wonderful! I knew Leo was in good hands while I was on vacation! She put my mind at ease! I would highly recommend Cassandre with your furry family member ?❤️”
“Dawn was fantastic! She was very responsive and accommodating to our moving schedule. Sent lots of updates and photos. Jackson came home happy and enjoyed his stay.”
“Jesse was so great with Zoey. He sent lots of photos, took her on a lot of walks and spent cuddle time with her. It’s clear he truly loves animals. We’d love for Zoey to stay with Jesse again.”
About: I have always taken care of other family’s animals and I am very passionate about giving your furry friend a safe, loving and comfortable environment! I currently work for VCU as a certified medical assistant full time. I am working Monday through Friday from 8-4:30. I am very active and open to taking long walks after work or anytime on weekends. My home is safe for every animal. I have one cat who is just one year old and loves being around other cats and dogs. My cat is up to date on all vaccines and is only indoor. I am extremely respectful of others spaces and will make it my goal to make sure your cat/dog is safe and loved while in my care. I hope to give your animal a very loving and attentive environment.
About: I've had dogs since I was 5 (I'm 36). Cats I never had my own-- although I am getting kittens very soon :) -- but I have pet-sit for 2 cats of a good friends for 9 years whenever he left town. I also had a neighbor with anywhere from 7-15 cats growing up, and many (but not all) of those cats loved me. I am looking to build this into a primary source of income. I have closed weekends per the default availability, but please inquire and I will do my best to make time on weekends as well. I allow them to explore my house supervised in order to feel comfortable and knowledgeable about their surroundings. I have a space in the middle of the house that will be for pet toys / chewing / napping / etc.
“I had a great experience with this sitter and would absolutely book again. They were reliable, professional, and clearly cared about my dog’s comfort and well-being. Communication was consistent throughout, and I appreciated the updates and attention to detail. My dog came back happy, well cared for, and in great condition, which says everything. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but they made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a dependable and attentive sitter.”
“Stacey was the ultimate sitter and I couldn't have asked for a better first experience with Rover! She scheduled time for our dogs to meet in a public area first followed by a tour of her home and yard where Sebastian would be staying. I received photos of how much fun he was having while on my trip, and to be honest I bet he's looking forward to his next stay, what with having a four legged buddy and a wrap-around, fenced-in yard for unlimited zoomies. I can't recommend Stacey enough and will be sticking with her whenever it suits going forward.”
