“Yolanda took very good care of both of our babies. As we were dropping them off one of our dogs was bleeding from biting their lip and Yolanda quickly took care of it and healed the injury. We received photos of our babies and we also had a very detailed conversation about how our babies were while in their care which made us feel more comfortable as we do have pit bulls and they have a bad stigma on them but the understanding that Yolanda and her husband have with this breed was very important and reassuring to know that we are able to trust them with our dogs.”
“Riley had such a great experience, and I truly can’t say enough good things. Communication was amazing from start to finish, and she was so flexible when our flights changed, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She even sent pictures without us asking which we absolutely loved and really appreciated. Her kids and mother were incredibly kind and Riley also got along so well with their dog, Annalise. Riley isn’t around other dogs very often, so I was a little nervous, but they did great together and it made me so happy to hear how well she adjusted. Honestly, the whole experience felt so comfortable… like I’ve known them for a long time. That says a lot when you’re trusting someone with your dog. I would absolutely use them again without hesitation. I think Riley may have even found herself a new best friend 🐾”
“Amazing. Communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She made adjustments to help my dog eat while being in a new environment. Will definitely be rebooking.”
“Sherry was so fantastic!! She took such great care of our girl Mona for the weekend, and provided lots of photos and updates. :) we would absolutely book with her again.”
“Cindy was very welcoming to both me and Pepper. She kept me updated with pictures and my little guy had a good time with her and her furbabies. Looking forward to the next overnight visit.”
“An absolutely wonderful four-night stay for my little dog, Rosie! The care, affection and a attention that they generously give is just amazing. Update, photos, videos and any concerns were provided to me throughout Rosie's visit. Five stars is simply not enough stars!”
“Our dog Dexter had the best weekend with Rhonda! He met new friends, had many walks, and was a happy boy when we picked him up! Thank you Rhonda for taking such good care of Dexter for us! We will definitely book Rhonda again! ❤️”
“Ashley and her family did an excellent job watching my two pups. Both seemed to be enjoying themselves while I was away. I got updates and pictures periodically so I was always in the know of what they were up to. Ashley was accommodating with time drop off and pick up. I appreciate the time and love you spent with my babies.”
“Millie loved her time with Doreen! She sent lots of pictures and kept us up to date the whole time we were gone! Would definitely come back to Doreen! Highly Recommend”
“Elizabeth and her family took great care of my dog, Reba. She was communicative and flexible with me and provided sweet picture updates for me. I have already re-booked with Elizabeth to watch Reba, again!”
“First time using Daniel and longest vacation away from my dog (19 days). He gave excellent daily communication and updates as needed. When there was an issue or concern. He was very transparent and honest. Which made me feel more trusting of his care for my dog. Plenty of attention and exercise for my dog. It was a great dog vacation for him. Daniel is another great Rover app sitter. Highly trusted and recommend.”
“MJ and his wife were so caring towards Stevie while we were away! They cared for him like he was their own, and sent so many thoughtful updates. Stevie was sad to leave at the end of his stay with them. Thank you!!”
“Monique is a wonderful pet sitter! She is extremely professional and organized and communicates perfectly. I have peace of mind when I leave my pup with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Scott Ashley and their boys are a Godsend for me. Dixie is safe and I am able to relax and enjoy my vacation time. They treat her so well and she is a senior gal who is blind and almost deaf. I get photos throughout my trip and I really enjoy that. I would not leave Dixie with anyone else.”
“Kim did such a wonderful job caring for my pup, even when he was a bit hard to handle right away. She was communicative and transparent and worked hard to make sure that he was active, comfortable, and well-loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.”
“Scott was very accommodating and communicative, we got several pictures and even a short video of our dog out playing in the fresh snow. Our dog has a fear of smooth floors and Scott was able to layout enough rugs and beds that Barley was comfortable. Will book again.”
“Working with Julia and Colin was our first Rover experience and we could not be happier with how it went! Julia is extremely communicative and made the process easy. Our dog took to them very quickly and we could tell she was made comfortable in their home. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“Sarah, Dan and their girls were amazing! Badger loves children and had a ball. They provided pictures during the stay which helped calm our nerves. We noticed he was exhausted when he got home which is a good sign. We would definitely use them again.”

“They were so helpful and understanding of situations that came up. I'm also so thankful for them understanding how shy most of my cats are and allowed them to chill out of sight together.”
About: Hi! I’m Montse - mom of kitties Chamoy and Luka. I’ve had these cats for five years and was always a dog person until I had my own feline friends. My orange cat is exactly as you’d expect… rambunctious and incredibly cuddly. Luka the black cat however, is very stand-offish and loves her space. All that to say, I know that cats come with different personalities and I’d love to care for yours however is needed!
About: Hi there, I'm Giovanni, and I've been a lifelong cat enthusiast. Growing up with feline friends, I've developed a deep love for their unique personalities. Cats, with their independent nature, have a special place in my heart. I'm here to provide them with the care and affection they deserve, ensuring they feel right at home. Plus, I like to capture their beauty through professional cat photography. ???
“Jen sent great messages and pictures each day letting us know what as going on with our two fur babies - gave a lot of comfort to us while we were away. Will definitely be asking her to pet sit again!”
“We highly recommend Cindy for all of your fur babies ! She communicated awesomely! Sent pictures of our pets and sent them while we were gone. 100% recommended!!”
“Excellent service! Katelynn provided written and photo updates for every visit and went the extra mile to stop over at my apartment on a day that she wasn’t required to. Highly recommend!”
“Kelsey took great care of my two cats while I was away. They are sometimes scared of new people, but warmed up to Kelsey from the beginning and came out most days when she arrived. I will definitely book Kelsey next time I travel. Thanks!”
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life as I’ve had cats and dogs from a very young age. I’m the girl at the party that goes straight to the animal in the room 🤣 I treat every animal I encounter as if they were my own. I am self employed so my schedule is very flexible. My work week changes day by day but I have a lot of time in the mornings and evenings. I treat your pet as if they were my own. They are one of the family because all animals are precious to me. I treat all pets with kindness, empathy, patience and gentleness.
About: I will do any service needed. I grew up having pets and pet sitting for others when I was in guam. I care for animals like they are my children because to me they are children just with 4 legs :). I’m very flexible and willing to work around your schedule and needs. Pets will be well taken care of and will make sure when they get back to you that they will be the same or better ! Also if you’re going off island and need them to stay somewhere I will also offer that service because I know how it feels to leave for work or vacation but you have no one to watch your pet. I also took care of sick pets and know how to properly give medicine. Book them with me and you won’t be disappointed.
“Jenni did a great job with Copper! She even brought her own dog over for a playdate, which Copper loved. We really appreciated getting pics/videos. We would absolutely book again with Jenni!”
About: Cats have been my companion all my life.. a home is not a home without the pitter patter of little paws. Currently, my fur baby Millie is my only pet but have experience with dog and cat households. I know their needs and can establish a bond with cats easily. And I also know when they need space and just someone to be company without adding to their stress.
About: Grew up an animal lover with multiple dogs and cats over the course of my life. Long story short, I have experience with puppy life, shelter life, low energy, high energy, etc. I just love animals and look forward to taking care of yours I work full time as a school counselor but understand what it takes to be a healthy dog owner. This means a walk in the morning before I leave, a walk when I get home after work, and depending on a lot of other factors maybe one late maybe not. On weekends I'm a a homebody which is why I signed up for this. I will get out of the house to walk my girl or take her on an adventure to the dog park, trail walk, etc. Otherwise I like just hanging out and playing video games. My girl has a crate in the family room but I also repurposed a spare bedroom into a doggy friendly room. I wasn't using it for any reason so figured why not make it dog friendly for my girl and others. I also have a fenced in yard that I can easily let her and other dogs out. It is big enough to be able to throw a ball around as well.
About: I have taken care of many different animals since I was 11, including: birds, rabbits, fish, hamsters, dogs, and cats. Family, friends, and neighbors have always found me to be reliable in making sure their pet is well taken care of while they are away. I currently have 2 elder cats, an elder chihuahua, and a puppy. My animals have some specific needs so I am also used to giving medications and some special maintenance. I have experience with high energy and low energy animals. I used to work as a teacher so I can problem solve quickly and have tons of patience! With training my own pup, I can handle puppy energy and maintain training expectations while you are away! If your dog likes to play, I can bring my pup around for a playdate 🐾 Animals love me because of my patient and loving energy.✨ I am mostly free after 4, either to drop in and check on your baby, a walk, or for some play time! I prefer house sitting on the weekends but I don’t mind if it’s a day or 2 before/after :) I always greet animals with a happy and loving tone. I am experienced in crating dogs and potty training puppies, since I currently have a pup of my own. I am able to give medication that your pet may need, as well. I will send my clients a picture or video of their animal upon my visits and answer any and all questions about how their pet is doing while they are away. I always treat the pets I care for with as much love and attention that I give to my own. I promise that your baby will be in good hands when they are with me.
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away for a few days! We have three cats with different needs, so we provided detailed instructions—and she followed them all perfectly. She was prompt, reliable, and gave us updates after each visit, which we really appreciated. We’re so grateful for her help and the peace of mind she gave us while we were away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur babies!”
“Maddalena was an amazing sitter for our 2 cats while we were away! She provided great communication & updates, and our cats loved her visits! Food/water/litter boxes/play time were well taken care of while we were gone. Would highly recommend Maddalena!”
“Julia did such a wonderful job looking after my cat Minerva while I was away. At every visit she sent me pictures and an update and gave Minerva lots of cuddles and attention. I would absolutely book with Julia again!”

About: I’m a true animal lover. If it has paws, scales, fins, or whiskers, I’m already invested. I’ve cared for and fostered all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, aquatic babies, reptiles, and the tiniest furry friends like bunnies and hamsters—so I’m comfortable across the board. To me, pets aren’t “just pets”…they’re family. My approach is calm, patient, and gentle. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and respect their boundaries so they always feel safe, understood, and comfortable. At home, I’ve got my own little zoo—2 sweet cats, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, 4 snakes, and an adorable mouse—so trust me, I’m no stranger to unique personalities and specialized care. I would love to care for your pet when you need a break, go on vacation or when you make other plans. You can be assured that your pet is in good hands. To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. 📍 Located in Milwaukee – Capitol Heights area 🌻 I work from home so I’ll always have time to play, feed and love on your pet babies. I’m always flexible with their needs (bathroom breaks, medication, shyness) to make sure they are always comfortable. If my schedule or availability changes, I always send out updates to my calendar right away. ❤️ To offer the best care, my max capacity is currently 2 pets per day. I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for pets to roam, play and toilet if needed. Pets are always welcome to bring their own items. My 2 lovely cats are usually shy and more of the watching type, so they won’t bother your pets but will surely admire them from their cat trees. All activities and toileting are supervised. There is no smoking of any kind in my home or pet areas. There are some pictures of our living space in the photo collection on my Rover profile.
“Yolanda and her family have been so great to work with so far! Yolanda is very responsive, flexible, & respectful of your pet’s needs/requests/concerns. I will be utilizing her services again 🙂”
“I could not recommend Mike and his wife Heather more! My dog has been consistently going going there for a year and as a young doctor working up to 28 hours in a row, I would not be able to have managed without them! They are very flexible and truly do love working with dogs. Recently, my dog got very mambas colitis and needed to go to the vet twice. Initially I wasn’t able to take too much time off but thankfully Mike was there. He offered to even cook Whiskey boiled chicken and rice and even offered to come to the vet with us the second time because he was genuinely concerned as well. I have a very anxious dog, but have been able to leave him while on vacation and not worry because I was getting constant updates- both good and bad about how he was doing, how much he was barking, how he was pooping, etc. it helped me enjoy my vacation more. I would highly recommend them for anyone who has a dog that is anxious and needs more one on one attention or with a chaotic schedule like myself.”
“Perseus and Dereck were great hosts to Spider. They took him in last minute. They provided photos during his short stay. I will definitely have them watch our dogs again. They deserve 10 stars!!”
“Will and Sarah were great with Maple on her first doggy day care visit! Felt confident to leave her for the day and they were super flexible to accommodate my last minute work meetings. Will be going back for overnight soon.”
About: Hi there! We are lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience and two sweet pit bulls of my own. Our home is shared with my playful and loving 3-year-old boy and my silly, affectionate 1-year-old girl, who both love making new friends. We've spent many years in responsible dog breeding, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior, health, socialization, and individual needs. Whether your pup is shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, We are confident and comfortable caring for all personalities, ages, and breeds. With me, your pets will be treated like part of the family — plenty of love, attention, structure, and fun. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment where every dog feels at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! --- If you want, I can also tailor it to a specific service (boarding, drop-ins, walks, etc.) or adjust the tone to be more professional, playful, or concise. I offer flexible scheduling for pet boarding thanks to my role with a property management company, which allows me to be home often and adjust my availability as needed. This flexibility helps me give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and consistent care throughout their stay. For everyone’s safety and comfort, we kindly require all pets to have their own crate during their stay. Crates provide a secure, familiar space for your dog to rest and relax, especially during downtime or when we briefly step out. Their safety and well-being are always our top priority. Also provide your pet with their favorite food/treats for their stay. We are also able to provide that for an additional fee.
“Kim is amazing! We always have her watch our dachshund Wendi whenever we go out of town or have an event to go to. She is so responsive and such a kind person! When she’s watching our dog, we know our dog is in great hands.Our dog always comes home happy and sleepy after hanging out with Kim and her dog! Thank you!!”
“I have an almost two week stay booked for my old man puggle. I wanted to do some day visits so he could get used to the changes. She said he did so well and adjusted easily. I am feeling so much more at ease about the stay!! I am so grateful that there are people like her out there.”

About: I have been the go-to pet sitter for my large family & friends for years and just decided to see if anyone else would need the service. I have no pets or kids but I am a pet lover in a nice home with a big fenced in yard. I like hanging out with the pets like little buddies, getting some days of cuddles and then sending them home 😅. It’s the perfect way to get some fur baby time until I’m ready for my next dog or cat in the future. This is not a business for me, it’s something I have enjoyed doing for my family and friends, and if you want your beloved pet to be in a calm but fun, comfortable environment while you’re away, I can extend my service to you. I recently started doing home stays/drop ins for the pet sitting too and enjoyed it. I currently have a really flexible schedule with a lot of availability. I live with my dad that occasionally says hi if the dog or cat is friendly but mostly the house is big enough that they never cross paths. I have a fenced in yard and a big house with a lot of space that I can also section off by closing doors. I typically take the animals out several times a day, feed them, and let them roam around the house or snuggle with me. I like when pet owners bring a bed for their pets so I can make them their own space but they’re welcome to chill with me in whatever I’m doing. I’m youthful, active, and responsible. I have a naturally friendly, calm demeanor that animals and people respond well to. I have no pets right now but used to have a pit/black lab mix that I loved dearly so I love pits and other breeds with historically bad reputations. I frequently sit my aunt’s beagle mix who’s just a little old pup that sparked my interest for pet sitting cuz it was so fun to have visits from him. He and my old dog are in a bunch of my pics. With all animals I just try to make them comfortable and let them feel at home.
About: I’m a psychotherapist by day and am in general a very calm person. I pay attention to your pets moods and energy level and remember that during the time they’re playing with me, they’re missing you! So I treat them as if they were my own. I’m a psychotherapist by day and am in general very calm: I pay attention to your pet’s moods and energy level. I keep in mind that all the while your fur baby is with me, they’re missing you! I treat them as I do my own puppy. I have a fenced yard. (2) 1/2 hour walks a day: 2-4 hour potty breaks. Lots of play time with balls and curiosity toys !

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have years of hands on experience caring for my grandparents’ Shih Tzus. I am attentive, patient, and always prioritize each pet’s comfort and safety. I carefully follow all instructions provided by pet parents and make sure their routines are maintained exactly as requested. I am reliable, punctual, and committed to showing up when expected. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for them. I maintain a structured and dependable schedule, ensuring consistent arrival times and adherence to each pet’s routine without exception. Safety is my highest priority, and I remain attentive at all times to prevent risks during walks, feeding, or home care. I build trust through clear communication, reliability, and strict follow-through on owner instructions. I also focus on creating a calm, stable, and comfortable environment where pets feel secure, relaxed, and well cared for throughout my time with them.
“We have been working with Haani for a month so far. She's so great with Gus! Since she started working with Gus, he's gotten better at understanding and listening to commands and not pulling when he's on his leash. He's always so happy to see her! Haani communicates well and is really reliable. We're excited to keep working with her.”
About: I started off taking care of small animals, but then became trained as a kennel attendant and enrichment specialist in my growing career in animal care. I wanted to offer more to my local community with the current skills I have, along with learn and grow with every pet and parent! I’m aware of how dogs communicate with each other with body language and have been trained to break apart a fight, even before a fight could start.
About: Hello and welcome! We take care of/have taken care of all different kinds of pets. We have our own two dogs, as well as six cats. We have experience with multiple different breeds and types of animals, as well as being able to handle many at a time. (We have had up to 9 dogs in my care at one time!) I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, which is why I will update you with pictures as much as you would like. I have a finished basement if your loved one would prefer to be separated, and also have many open rooms for them to choose from for slumber. The cats have a gated off cat room, only accessible to humans and kitties. The crew and I can't wait to meet you! (Or if you prefer the whole crew won't meet you :)). Dani is currently home full time. At this time Dani is home for almost the entire day, with occasional errands. You can request our schedule for any amount of time to confirm your loved one will be cared for properly and on time. We deep clean all items used after a pet stays, so that they are ready for the next pet to stay. We have extra blankets, beds, crates, bowls, and more. We keep our fishtanks neat and clean, as well as my home. My dogs are extremely friendly even with cats. My backyard is fenced in with access through a back door. When it's nice out we play outside with the dogs where they have access to a kiddie pool to play in the water. I have started to add more outdoor play equipment/toys.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and love them so much that I decided to work at a Dog and Cat daycare and boarding facility. I’ve been working there for 3 years and have worked with all breeds and ages varying from puppies to seniors and love comforting them and making them happy while also making sure their parents know they are in good hands! I’m currently working part-time and my availability is flexible. I’m willing to make adjustments as long as I am notified at least 2-3 weeks in advance. Depending on the typical routine of the pet, I will follow it as close as possible to make them feel as comfortable as I can. I will keep them busy by going on walks or by playing with them, or if they have lower energy I’ll just make sure to give them extra attention.
About: Hi! We’re Maddie & Joseph — a pet-loving couple with a lifestyle built around dogs. We offer a calm, loving, and active environment where your dog is part of the family. I (Maddie) have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have always been hands-on with training. My grandpa has been breeding huskies since before I was born so dogs have always been a large part of my life. . I’m confident working with high-energy and large breeds, and I’m especially passionate about giving puppies the structure, love, and attention they need. I previously worked at a doggy daycare which has given me plenty of knowledge on caretaking and maintaining a happy and healthy home with multiple dogs. I (Joseph) have always had a deep love for animals—I raised a kitten growing up and worked at a reptile store where I cared for reptiles, fish, and insects before traveling for a year. Together, we’re all about giving pets thoughtful, experienced, personalized care every step of the way. 🐾 We are both currently working from home so normally one of us is always home. If we do leave your pup will never be left alone for more than an hour. Our space includes a fully fenced backyard, a dedicated doggy room with a queen-sized mattress, cozy dog beds, and an XL crate if needed. Ring cameras and security system so we know our house is always watched. Maddie has trained her super well-mannered and playful 6-year-old Siberian Husky since birth who loves making new friends. We only take in 2-3 dogs at a time which is plenty of space for our house. Our neighborhood is quiet and safe with a playground, large field and lots of kids around. We follow your dog’s routine closely and send regular updates so you always feel connected—your pup will be treated like part of the family. 🐾
“Jae has been walking my doodle for the last month and she's been great! I appreciate her reliability & thorough communication, and my dog always comes back with her tail wagging. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Maddalena is so helpful and flexible! I appreciate her thinking ahead- she saw it would be raining so she took our dog on a quick walk and then played with her inside. Dallie still got some energy out, and we couldn't be happier. :)”
About: I’ve taking care of pets since I was 13. I currently have a blind senior german shepherd, and guide him when needed, giving him lots of treats and love. I also have a 1 year puppy and give her frequent time out. I’m planning on working weekends whenever needed to play with doggies and give them the care they need! I can feed them, give medicine, and care for blind and senior dogs. I put my dogs before anything and make sure they have everything they need. Treats, water, food, play time, medicine, supplements, nap time and love.

About: My whole life has been around dogs and cats. I grew up with 3 cats and 2 dogs. In my adult life I owned 3 dogs. I’ve helped train puppies of my own all the way to caring for senior dogs. I have watched friends and neighbors animals from checking in with cats daily to housing dogs for a few days to months. I have a very flexible work schedule so I can check on your pet in the morning before work, during my lunch break and after work. If you need me to be at your house full time with your pet I can easily work from home multiple days. I am a digital media marketer so I can work about anywhere and at any time. I have a fenced in yard with 2 very playful dogs if they need any playtime. I know a great dog park for dogs to run and play their heart out. I love going outside so taking dogs for walks is one of my favorite things to do. Since I live with 2 dogs I know how to feed, play, relax and sleep with them.
About: Having been surrounded by dogs and cats throughout my life, I've cultivated a profound passion for working with these wonderful companions. While growing up, my mother and I had a cat, but most of my interactions with pets occurred through my grandparents. My grandparents have always had dogs and allowed me to be actively involved in their care, including feeding and walking. This experience nurtured a deep passion and profound appreciation for animals, as they are not just our pets but integral members of our family. I embarked on my first job at McDonald's, where I gained valuable experience in providing excellent customer service. In September of my first college year, I began working at the UW Veterinary Hospital as a kennel worker. This role primarily involved cleaning and providing vet students, vet techs, and doctors with the necessary equipment for treating animals. In the following spring semester, I left the hospital and secured a position as a dog caregiver at Dog Haus University in Madison. I was already familiar with dog behavior, but this job allowed me to gain confidence in recognizing a dog's emotions through their body language. Additionally, I currently work at a doggy daycare in Milwaukee called Unifursity in the same capacity, but with the added responsibility of pottying and feeding dogs since this establishment also offers boarding services. I have experience in petsitting my grandparents' dogs in their home while they were out of town and have demonstrated my ability to maintain their routine. Being at the doggy daycare has allowed me to gain new skills such as properly administering the Bordetella and Distemper vaccination, along with solidifying my skill in maintaining a dogs daily schedule when it comes to feeding, pottying and excerise. Regarding my experience in Madison, opportunities that arose did not align with my housing situation since I did reside in the campus dorms. Patience is a quality I've developed over the years, partly due to having younger siblings who can be quite challenging. My grandma's dog, a large German Shepherd with severe separation anxiety, has given me experience in dealing with dogs who are considered "difficult." Working at the daycare, patience is crucial, as some dogs struggle to follow instructions and require consistent redirection. There have been instances of nervous dogs who were initially wary of strangers, but through careful handling, consistent communication, and positive interactions, I gained their trust while maintaining authority when necessary. I am a full-time student, but I have flexibility on times as my schedule isn’t super demanding. I do work Thursdays, Fridays & Sundays, and I’m able to be accommodating around times if needed. While I do have a full house that could be overwhelming to some pets, as a pet sitter in a client's home, I will follow their guidelines closely which may involve feeding pets according to their usual routine, administering medication if necessary, and engaging in play or exercise activities. I aim to maintain a clean and organized space, respecting the home and the pet owner's preferences. The specific services I offer may vary, so I'm adaptable to the needs of both the pet and the owner. Clear communication and a genuine love for animals guide my approach to pet care, ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to my care.
“Krystal continues to do an excellent job walking our dog, Taters. Taters is always excited to see Krystal coming, and Krystal has been flexible and accommodating when our schedules changed and we needed to reschedule walks. She’s easy to work with and is clearly great with dogs!”
“I have been using these 2 for a couple of weeks with both Wag and now Rover. They have been great to my girl. They are helping her get the energy out in a safe way and even working on her focus in public. Much appreciated ?”

“Yolanda took very good care of both of our babies. As we were dropping them off one of our dogs was bleeding from biting their lip and Yolanda quickly took care of it and healed the injury. We received photos of our babies and we also had a very detailed conversation about how our babies were while in their care which made us feel more comfortable as we do have pit bulls and they have a bad stigma on them but the understanding that Yolanda and her husband have with this breed was very important and reassuring to know that we are able to trust them with our dogs.”
