Jodi K. says, “Kristina is very professional, caring, kind and a true dog/animal lover. She is always on time and trustworthy and I feel very comfortable with her in my home. She sent pictures and notes about the visit and let me know how Gracie was doing, which made me feel very comfortable knowing she was very well taken care of. I will continue to use Kristina. She was a great find.”

Nora O. says, “"I used to work with Eve at an animal hospital, and saw her amazing compassion for animals. Not only did she fulfill her duties to make sure the animals were fed and comfortable, but she went out of her way to spend extra time giving them love and attention. Eve knew each pet personally and was able to connect with them on many levels. Her own pets as well reflected the time and love she invested in them. Her dogs were some of the sweetest and happiest canines I had ever seen. I would trust any of my pets in her hands, and definitely recommend her to anyone seeking a pet sitter for their fur-babies."”
