“Ariana took care of our cat for a week while we were away. Travelling is always a bit stressful cause our cat is a bit anxious to be alone. Ariana has been absolutely kind and professional. The communication was excellent, a lot of pictures and messages kept me posted everyday. I truly appreciated it. Ariana makes sure to give cuddles, play, and is also caring for the place to be clean. We will call her again, for sure! 😊 Thank you for everything.”

She sent us so many photos of our babies and kept us up to date on their daily happenings. She is also the only person outside of my family that has cared for my dog. I was nervous about leaving him behind but she took the utmost care of him and he was doing great when we got back.”

“Kendra comes from a home with three cats. We have our cats on a two time a day feeding and care schedule. We have had pets since she was a baby. Kendra has been raised to pay attention to the details. Timely feeding, fresh water in the dishes every feeding. Scoop the litter box clean at every feeding.

She is good about making time to walk and play with them for exercise. She always receives call backs due to her high level of attentiveness.”
