1. Lauren J.

“Lauren is THE BEST! This is my second time having her watch my baby girl. She arrives at great hours, and gives all the love, care, and attention to the baby girl. I am fully comfortable leaving on long vacations and entrusting her with the baby girl and being in my home with no surveillance. 1000/10 recommend!”

“Ericka took such great care of my cat, Fishsticks! She was patient with him and looks like he really warmed up by the end of their week. House was also in great shape with little touches- I was expecting a full, stinky trash can and looks like she took the used litter out to my outdoor trash bin. Although I got a talking to when I got home, Fish looks healthy and happy with no signs of stress. 10/10 would rebook again!”
