Lisa has a natural affinity for animals and easily establishes a report with them. Her gentle demeanor and patience makes her particularly adept at handling pets of all temperaments. In addition to her exceptional caregiving abilities, Lisa is also highly organized and efficient at managing schedules, following instructions to the letter, and ensuring a smooth and seamless experience. Overall, I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough for the role of the pet sitter or dog walker, her dedication, passion and exemplary care makes her a valuable asset to any pet owner, seeking reliable and compassionate assistance.”


19. Sima M.

“Sima was a life-saver!! My husband and I had planned on going home to my parents over the Thanksgiving holiday but we had an unanticipated emergency and so our plans changed fairly last minute. We couldn’t take our fur baby with us as planned. I contacted Sima a few days before we were to leave and she was so reassuring and sweet. My baby kitty is literally like my child and I hate leaving her. Sima was so cute with her, like she had known my kitty for years!! They played, cuddled, and Sima sent me a bunch of darling pictures and videos of my baby!! I really appreciated that. I could tell my cat was really happy to see her and was having a great time. Sima is wonderful and I highly recommend her services!”
