“Wendy was punctual, friendly, loving toward my kitties, and followed their routines precisely. My two kitties, Lenny and Lucy, were well-taken care of, I could tell. Lucy never once came out for Wendy (Lenny was the opposite; he provided entertainment for her, lol), but when I got home, Lucy was so relaxed, it was clear that she was not nervous or distressed---she felt cared for! I will call on Wendy again any time I leave town in the future. Thanks, Wendy, thumbs up!”

“Perfect as always! I never worry about my pup when Veronica is checking in. She's always so patient and careful. Somehow she gets the best pictures of Ainsley as well!”
