“Julia is the best Cat Sitter ever! She is a joy to communicate with, very mature, thorough and lovely. She seems to love the details of taking care of my cats and is attentive and remembers everything. She loves the animals and sends great reports that let you know she has really spent time with them. I was away for over 2 weeks and was deeply concerned my hyper attached Bengal would stop eating. But no problem. Julia Rocks! I'd like to keep her my secret but she deserves the report!”

Jackson and Muñeca instantly connected with her, and what’s even more impressive is how well they got along with her dogs. She created a harmonious and safe environment where they all could thrive. Jennielyn’s attention to detail, from feeding schedules to playtime, made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She’s caring, responsible, and treats every dog as if they were her own. I wholeheartedly recommend Jennielyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
