2. Erica M.
“Erica was fantastic! I trust her so much with my cat, Smudge who was happy and well cared for when I returned from my trip. Erica was communicative and understanding.”
3. Monica H.
“Monica allowed us to go home across the country for Christmas with confidence and peace of mind that our 3 dogs would be well cared for. She provided 2-3x per day for a week. I left detailed instructions for letting them out, feeding, and securing them when she left, and she followed it to the letter. She played with them, loved on them when they were especially clingy, and messaged me with all the details. She also sent pictures regularly. It was obvious the dogs loved her! Do your fur babies a favor and call Monica to love on them.”
