Carissa & Alex looked after Sophie’s pets & home

Alex and Carissa took amazing care of my home and two cats and rabbit while I was away visiting family. I am so thankful for how incredibly caring and kind they were through the whole process! They are such wonderful people with huge hearts and made me feel so at ease to leave my home and pets! They took beautiful care of my house and plants as well. I would be so happy to have them come back anytime!
