“Ameera is a pet parent’s dream! She was extremely attentive and caring with my cat, provided wonderful updates and videos that I looked forward to every day, and went the extra mile to make sure both my cat and I were comfortable throughout my travel. I would recommend her to anyone!”
2. Aimee P.
“Aimee was fantastic! She sent lots of pics and detailed notes from her drop-ins with our cat Finn. He really loved her. It's was comforting to know our pet was in such good hands while we were away and made it easy to enjoy the trip! Aimee went above and beyond, alerting us to a water leak in the bathroom. We were able to contact the building management to take care of the leak before it caused too much damage. I am grateful to her for being so observant and conscientious! We would be thrilled to have her take care of Finn the next time we travel!”
