12. Frida M.
“Frida was incredibly flexible and responsive - accommodating my last minute request for a drop in visit after my prior plans fell through! We quickly set up a meet and greet to get to know Mickey as well as how to get around my Home and operate the security system. She was super professional, came prepared with questions and took copious notes throughout our meeting. The moment she and Mickey came together, we knew we found the right person! We solidified a booking for a drop in visit/day over 3 days. Every report was provided with information on how Mickey did, and she took some of the best photos we have seen a sitter take! We will definitely keep Frida on as a go-to for future trips. Book with confidence!”
