When we got back, she had left our place spotless and even stripped the sheets. I would definitely recommend Caroline!”

When he got home he was too tired to stand up. it was such great exercise for him which I would have never been able to supply if it wasn't for her. And Paulie, my pooch, adored her and would start barking and wagging the soon as he heard her locker car. He KNEW! I miss her terribly and so does Paulie.”
