“Ilia was fantastic. Although Oliver was not well during our absent she handled it very professionally and with care. She communicated with us frequently on Oliver's well-being. Which was very much appreciated. She stayed in our home the entire time and left it very clean and orderly. We would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter. Thank you once again Ilia. Michaela and Dan”
“Maria (and her dog Lalo) were amazing! Boone is normally an anxious mess but he was the most relaxed and calm he’s ever been after being watched by a new person for a couple days. She was very communicative and sent pictures which made the trip less anxious for me. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Heavenly Hayley! My cats are demanding and complicated little goblins but Hayley made me feel like she was their biggest fan. I knew Hayley was indulging all their quirky needs so my time away was even more fun and relaxed. Her presence made everyone's life better. I hesitate to write the review she deserves because she will get too popular on Rover and I might never be able to leave home again.”
