“Mya was attentive to all of our pets, and did a great job of communicating questions or issues to us in a timely manner. The house was just as we had left it. We had zero concerns about her ability to care for our animals. She is responsible and showed up when she said she would be there. Definitely will have Mya house-sit for us again.”
