“It was my first time using a pet sitter but I’m a customer for life now! Adrianna did such a good job with my babies, very communicative and thorough, clean, super considerate, and an obvious animal lover. Cannot recommend enough. The perfect person if you’re picky about your animals or on the fence about hiring someone. 10/10”
“Communication was excellent and Ashley made my buddy feel right at home immediately, even offering to put up her own pet to let him adjust to a new environment. He came back happy as a clam. Cannot recommend highly enough.”
“I cannot emphasize enough how Thankful i am for Melissa. She is very reliable, trustworthy, and excellent with pets. I have a scardy cat, who hides from all new people, and i had never before left him with anyone. I had a situation arise where i had to go out of state for a few days, and i was so stressed about the thought of leaving my kitty with anyone. Toughest decision of my life. I literally found Melissa a day before making my trip, and she came and was shockingly able to get up close to my cat take pictures daily of him for me, and made sure he was ok. She is excellent, i just knew i could trust her and knew my kitty would be in good hands when i seen her her 13 yr vet tech experience. I would definately hire her again, and I Highly recommend her services for any of your pets. 100% Thank You Again Melissa for being there for my Mr.Mittens. You are thee Best! ❤”
