Schedule
We were sitters before becoming working professionals, so we strive to provide the best care to our clients. Karen has a flexible job with random availability throughout the week, which allows for week and weekend bookings. Xavier works from home, allowing him to step away and care for our clients during the work day. We appreciate bookings that plan ahead so we can be sure to be available!
