“Where do I start? Ms. Kim is the absolute BEST! She was able to stay over and take care of our furbabies for a few days, including administering medicine to one of them.

Not only did she do an outstanding job by making sure then furbabies were taken care of, she even made sure our house was in perfect shape upon our return.
