I recently had the pleasure of using Mary for pet sitting services, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Mary was professional, attentive, and genuinely caring. My cat felt at ease with her right away, which was a huge relief. One of the highlights of the service was the detailed reports with photos that Mary sent me each day. It was wonderful to see my cat happy and well taken care of, and the updates gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Mary to anyone in need of a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you so much for your outstanding service!

Xiomara is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. Can't express how grateful we are for the exceptional care she provided to our cat. Xiomara kept us updated with pictures, videos and messages wich gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Our cat is usually shy and reserved but the special connection with Xiomara was an achievement ! She is very responsible and she has a big affection and passion for what she does. We'll definitely trust her again and would highly recommend her service. She did a great job coming at home twice a day and taking care of our cat while we were going in holidays
