“McKenna is amazing! We have a dog and a cat, and both quickly took to McKenna while we were gone for the week. She was kind and thoughtful with them both; she even got our picky dog to eat his food every day! Grateful we found her and would highly recommend her to friends/family. Thanks again, McKenna!”
“Karen was amazing at caring for our two cats while we were away for a week! Both were looked after lovingly and I appreciate how much Karen communicated with us and how reliable she was! Karen managed to bond with our more shy cat and get her to take her medicine. It was wonderful knowing Polly and Vinny were in good hands!”
“Suzanne was great! Despite the cold and icy weather She visited my house once a day to feed my two cats and exchange the water for my chickens. She sent me multiple photos each day which was very reassuring while I was away. I would recommend Suzanne!”
