Livia was great!! She was able to come to our house for a meet and greet a few days before our last minute trip away on a holiday weekend. She was timely, flexible with our schedules, and comfortable with our four dogs and one cat. She gave us consistent updates and photos, which were super appreciated. We will definitely reach out to Livia again to pet sit our furballs. Thanks Livia!

Livia has cared for my cat over many years and she is the best! She is one of the biggest animal lovers I know and will always make the care and safety of your pet her highest priority. Always professional, reliable and an excellent communicator. Your pet will be in good hands with Livia.

Livia took great care of my cats and even got one of them to stick to scheduled meals instead of hassling me for free feeding. They took to her really fast too! They usually have anxiety issues so that was a relief.

Livia Santos took care of our cats for a few weeks this past January, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment she walked in, it was clear she genuinely loves animals — both of our cats warmed up to her almost immediately, which says a lot if you know cats. She was communicative without being overwhelming, sending just the right number of photo updates to put our minds at ease while we were away. She followed feeding instructions to the letter, kept the litter spotless, and even noticed a small change in one of our cats' behavior that turned out to be worth flagging. That kind of attentiveness is rare. We came home to two happy, well-adjusted cats and a home that looked exactly as we'd left it. Livia is reliable, kind, and clearly experienced. She'll be our first call every time we travel from now on.
