I had Natalie come over to look after my pups for a few days while I was on holidays with my family and I cannot recommend her enough!! She was so amazing with my very anxious little dogs. They usually have a really hard time with new people but they warmed up to Natalie so quickly. She was so sweet with my girls and took such great care of them! Natalie sent me daily photos and videos of them and it made me feel so relaxed being away. She is an excellent pet sitter and I can’t wait to have her come back when I go on my next trip!!
We really appreciate Stacey for taking care of our 3 not so easy to manage kitties! Stacey put us at ease with her understanding and willingness to deal with their various issues and special needs. Her messages were really prompt and attentive as well. We will happily recommend Stacey as a reliable pet caregiver!
