18. Sanja S.


“Outstanding sitter, so much more then we expected!! Our SUGAR who is very spoiled was the epitome of elation when we returned, Undoubtedly Sanja must have played with her and given her attention as she had more energy then we have seen her for some time. She was so happy and ran around Sanja's yard like she owned it. I cannot think of letting Sugar go any place else as long as Sanja is available. Really rates 10 stars, when you consider letting your baby with someone!!! SUGAR took to Sanja's family husband and son as if they were old friends...”


19. Georgia F.

“Thank you for taking care of Rico! he made new friends and we could tell he had a great time with Georgia, Margo and Stella 😊”


20. Crystal J.

“A true professional from start to finish. Very attentive to details and personal care. The only reason I gave five stars is because I couldn’t give more stars. I recommend to anyone who inquires Crystal’s services and I will definitely be using her services again.”
