Joseph and Maria were fantastic sitters! We were visiting from out of town and needed someone to watch our dog, King, for a few hours while we explored the city. King has some separation anxiety, but Maria was so patient, kind, and understanding with him. They kept us updated throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. We truly appreciated their care and communication and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet sitters.
