“Qinyun was absolutely wonderful! She even dropped by before the booking to say hello and ask important questions, which really showed how thoughtful and prepared she is. When I realized I had gotten my dates wrong, she kindly agreed to a last-minute booking, which I appreciated so much. During the visits, she was reliable, communicative, and sent detailed updates with adorable photos—it gave me so much peace of mind knowing Maxine was in great hands. Qinyun was attentive, kind, and truly cared about making sure everything was just right. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their furry friends!”
