Jada immediately made me feel relaxed. She was very responsive to my first message, and all messages, requesting pet sitting services. We had a meet and great before we finalized the dates and I knew immediately she would take great care of my cats.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember, anything from dogs to birds to cats. I love being around animals and getting to know their unique quirks and traits!
