A second opinion? Yes, please!

Now if you are new to searching for a house and pet sitter – you may be feeling unsure about it and the whole experience. 

Even if you are not new to house and pet sitting – you may feel unsure about it.

So what do you do? You ask your friends & read reviews about the service you are looking into. In this case, you want to make sure that your house and pet sitter – me (Anik) is the right one! Here are some of the references I have collected during my house and pet sits over the years. Perhaps reading about other people’s experience will provide you with more peace of mind. 

However, if you have questions – never hesitate to reach out to me!
