Iona is the best! She’s helped us out so many times and we will continue to book with her! When our sweet older cat seemed a little off, she promptly reached out and took great care of her.

Ioana not only accepted my booking very last minute, but took the BEST care of my babies! Some scheduling issues with evening care resulted in lack of litter clean up, which Ioana promptly addressed and took care of without being a part of original care plan. Great communication, highly attentive, would recommend to anyone!!

Infinitely dependable and my dog absolutely loves her. If you want top of the line care from a wonderful person I cannot recommend Ioana more!

Ioana did great looking after my cat! She followed instructions to a T and was also very willing to help out last minute requests like hunting down a missing package for me
