1. Yukie M.
“I appreciate how Yuki put me at ease with hiring a pet sitter for the first time, and by hiring her I was able to enjoy my two-week, international vacation without worrying about my kitties. When she came for the initial visit she immediately impressed me with her intelligent and pertinent questions. She asked me about things I hadn't even considered, and showed that she is an experienced professional. I love the fact that she was able to bond with my kitties during my trip, and they apparently loved her visits. After returning they are indicating that they want me to play with them in the ways the she did, and so I know they loved it. I have zero complaints about how she managed their feedings, or the litter box, or communication with me. It was all done to my specific instructions. I would absolutely recommend hiring Yuki! She's the best!!!”
