1. Jose C.
“Jose is so wonderful - we have hired him several times to check in on our cat. He’s always on-time, and very communicative. He’s been excellent with feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving meds to our old lady in our absence, and he’s always helped me feel at ease when we’ve had to leave her at home! Thank you, Jose!”

“Anastasia was amazing with Lincoln! I had a last minute booking need and she accommodated and took the time to do a virtual meet and greet so I could show her some tips and tricks for my pup.
