It was difficult for me to find the message center and the page where jobs are posted. Then things got less frustrating.

Phedeos B. Was easy to work with, pleasant, and understood what I needed.

Diana was a very pleasant young lady. But she. Canceled her appointment several times. We are 79 years old and both have physical problems. Prior to three times we attempted to get the house organized. For the arrival of our new housekeeper, with out success. My wife was very disappointed and felt foolish for believing in Dianna and her false verbal promises.

Donna L. Is an incredible person to begin with. She nows animals our pets liked her right away, needless to say we did too. Donna took such great care of the pets while we were away. Best of all they were so calm when we arrived so we know there was no anxiety for them!

The site was easy to go through
July 28, 2024

Took us a while to find Chloe. First person I talked with backed out before "meet & greet" for the dogs. Then we found Chloe & honestly, I was a little apprehensive. But she came to the "meet & greet" & did amazing with the dogs. Her first day will be tomorrow.
I also wanted to hire someone else, in case Chloe can't make it for some reason, but the next person I texted with, although "saying" that she wanted to come to the "meet & greet" never showed up. She does live quite a ways from us tho, but at least could have notified us.

We need Boarding for my two 5 month old kittens for a weekend. I found the Care website and a Cat hotel site. The cat hotel was going to be further away and higher cost and we would have to cut our trip short with Grandma. The Care boarding option let choose options and post the need then wow! It was booked!
