“Thank you so very much Jenneh for being a wonderful sitter and person. Jenneh was very attentive and loving with our doggos. She followed our feeding directions, medication directions, and asked questions if she needed more clarification. We loved the pictures she sent whole we were away , especially the selfies with her and the doggos. We are going to use Jenneh again because we love the feeling she gave, the feeling that our doggos are safe, looked after, and played with. Thank you again Jenneh”

I will definitely be calling Kara for our future petsitting needs.”
