“She is super reliable and cares greatly about animals. We left her notes on each animal (3 cats) and anything she might need to look out for/or things she shouldn't need to worry about (one cat is so shy we warned her she'd probably never see her) and she was so accommodating and caring and took great care of our pets. She has been recommended to my other family members too, and took great care of an aging and younger dog and 4 cats that time, too.”
