“Cristina came through on incredibly short notice and was able to watch our kitties for us due to a family emergency that took us out of town. We had to extend the visit, and she was simply amazing and accommodating. It was a huge relief to have one less thing to worry about, knowing they were in good hands! Our kitty that suffers from stranger danger, now loves her and as Cristina said looks at her as family now. I know they both can’t wait for their next visit!”
