“This is the second time I’ve used Monica and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s very engaging and playful with my cat, B. She takes care of her food, water and litter box, and has even brought her toys to play with. She brings in any packages that may arrive in my absence. I come home to a clean house and a happy cat. I will use her every time I’m gone. Thank you, Monica. You’re a blessing to me and B.”
