Sandra did a great job watching my cats. She was very communicative and sent me daily pictures. She also did a great job cleaning up any messes they made, which not all pet sitters do. I'll will definitely book with Sandra again!
Sandra was professional and kind from the first communication to the last. She was punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. We felt very comfortable leaving our geriatric diabetic and insulin dependent cat in her capable hands.
I would recommend Sandra to everyone!
