Caring for your pet(s) in your home won’t be much of a hassle for me! I’ll be keeping an eye on your pet(s) at all times and will keep to whatever routine you give me.

Penelope was very easy to work with - communicative, sent so many pics, and spent good time with my cats when she checked on them! Will absolutely work with her again.
