Karina's care of our house and hound went smoothly and was much appreciated. Happily our family got to spend time with her before and after the actual sit. She's very companionable and shone much warmth on our home. She was generous in sharing some lovely food and even gifts for our children. We wish her the very best for the fascinating life journey she's on. ❤

Karin was a delight to have look after my two fur babies. She immediately bonded with the girls, stayed in regular touch & sent through pics during her stay. The house was immaculately clean & tidy when I returned with linen cleaned that you couldn’t even tell she was here!

Karina clearly loves animals and put a lot of effort into befriending, playing with, and caring for my 2 cats who were obviously happy to have her in the house. I found her mature and reliable, communication was excellent, and she was respectful of my home and privacy. We spent some time together when I returned, and bonus - she was also great company. Highly recommended.

It was so lovely having Karina-nicole look after my home. I came back to a tidy house and washed sheets. My house and animals were well looked after. She even managed to round up my 2 wayward cows. Highly recommended.
