We couldn t have asked for a better sitter! Our dogs were so well cared for and loved while we were away. Mulajia followed all instructions to a tee, sent updates, and made us feel totally at ease. Highly recommend and would absolutely book again!

I m glad the weather is cooler so CC can have a more comfortable walk. Lorraine is in tune to how the dog is feeling in certain weather conditions, which is a nice trait to have when walking dogs. She s wonderful!
