“Keke is an amazing pet sitter who is very responsible, reliable, thoughtful and caring! I had a great experience having them take care of my cat and dog when I had to leave town for an emergency, and they’ve been a great support multiple times since then as well. My little friends immediately bonded with them and felt safe. They’ve been very respectful to my space and left it even better than before. I appreciated the clear communication and updates they provided during the process. I highly recommend their services and I wouldn’t trust my furry companions with anyone else!”
