I recently had the pleasure of leaving my dogs in the care of Ednadine, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that she genuinely loves animals and is highly skilled in caring for them. Ednadine went above and beyond to ensure my dogs were happy and healthy. She provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her attention to detail and dedication to their well-being were evident in every interaction. My dogs absolutely adored her and were always excited to see her. Ednadine’s reliability, kindness, and professionalism make her the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Ednadine, for your exceptional service!

Evellyn was the perfect cat sitter! 🤗 Evellyn came to meet the cats beforehand as my cats are quite shy and tend to hide when they see someone new. However, Evellyn was really understanding of this and took her time to get to know the cats as well as respected the cats boundaries which was awesome as they came to trust her and we're happy for a tummy rub! 😁 Evellyn stayed in touch all the time I was away and sent photo updates which were so lovely to see. I cannot recommend Evellyn enough, she really was awesome and the perfect cat sitter! I will be sure to reach out to Evellyn in the future 🤗
