Jhakeria took the time to get to know our pets' routines, preferences, and quirks, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved while we were away. Our dog, Bella, and cat, Snow, were both so happy and relaxed when we returned, which speaks volumes about the quality of care they received. Jhakeria sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave us peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in good hands. Not only did she take excellent care of our pets, but she also took great care of our home. Everything was spotless upon our return, and she even watered our plants!
