Took the time to meet our dog prior to the appointment and responded quickly. Very knowledgeable and clearly experienced with animals.

Once again Vanja was amazing with her communication. She put our mind at rest after every visit. Having quite a nervy dog her positivity with Lottie has been a game changer for us

Vanja was amazing! So patient with Lottie who can be difficult. Vanja immediately put our mind at rest and we were able to enjoy a trip away with confidence that Lottie would be safe and cared for. We got lots of pictures and updates which also put our mind at ease. Would highly recommend and will definitely call on Vanja again.

Vanja’s professional experience made me feel confident that she was the right fit to watch over our pack. We have a large size male Ridgeback and although he’s a giant teddy bear he can be intimidating. She knew exactly how to manage the crew, spent quality time with them and sent picture updates. I’ll feel better knowing she’s around the next time we travel.

Vanja was an awesome caregiver for our cat while we were out of town. She spent time with our cat every day and the pictures she sent reassured us that our beloved 4 legged family member was being taken care of. We absolutely recommend her and we will use her again!!

She did a great job! So glad she was able to fit us in. Even washed the cat's feeding bowls, thanks so much Vanja!
