“Lexi was absolutely amazing! I know I’m a crazy pet owner. My animals are my first children. I cannot say enough nice things about Lexi! She followed my 3 pages of instructions, sent me pictures, never minded when I asked how things were going. When I got home my animals were so well taken care of!

“I can always trust Rita. I’ve had issues in the past with sitters ensuring that they wouldn’t leave my dog alone for more than 3 hours but have ended up leaving him for 6.
