“My usually super shy cat was comfortable with Krista. Krista was good about asking questions and following medication instructions. She was thorough in her notes for the check ins, which was nice while I was away. I can tell that she my cat got enough attention because she didn’t seem attention starved when I came home. I definitely plan on rebooking again”
