“Shannon is a pleasure. She is patient and caring, treated my Lucia like her own. Shannon kept in touch with me to let me know pertinent details of her visits, which confirmed my belief that I had made the right decision. I strongly recommend Shannon, and will certainly call her in the future.”
2. Jessica H.
“Jess was amazing with my 3 cats! I had never used Rover before due to always having my friend watch our cats when we go away but due to it being our wedding weekend, we didn't know what to do. Upon first meeting her, I was completely at ease. She was great with my shy cats, and the pics and updates I got were great! I will definitely be using her again!!!!”
