While Jim and Ricardo are new to formal pet sitting, they have gained a wealth of experience from their past roles as caretakers for their nieces and nephews, who they babysat for weeks at a time while their parents were away at work

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out in support of Ricardo Moran and Jim Martin, both of whom have demonstrated exceptional trustworthiness, care, and organization in maintaining my home during my absence. As a close friend of both individuals, I feel confident in my ability to give detailed and accurate testimony regarding their character and work ethic. Ricardo and Jim recently took on the responsibility of house-sitting for me during a two-week period in San Diego. Not only did they make sure all aspects of the home were well-maintained, but they went above and beyond in their duties by attending to the garden and ensuring the entire property was kept clean and organized. In my experience, some of Ricardo and Jim's key strengths include: - **Quiet:** They are both mindful of their surroundings and respectful of the needs of others. This is particularly important when entrusting someone with the care of your home. **Friendly:** Both Ricardo and Jim have a warm disposition and can easily establish a good rapport with people. Their positivity and friendliness make them fantastic house sitters as they bring a sense of calm and stability to their environment. **Clean:** They take cleanliness seriously and are committed to maintaining order and hygiene within their living spaces. This aspect of their character was evident during their tenure at my home when I returned to find everything spotless. **Organized:** Ricardo and Jim have an innate ability to keep things orderly and prioritize tasks. Their keen attention to detail ensures that nothing goes unnoticed, offering peace of mind that your home will be in good hands. I wholeheartedly recommend Ricardo Moran and Jim Martin for any endeavors they may choose to pursue, particularly in the realm of home management, house sitting, or any projects requiring high levels of organization and care. Their commitment to delivering excellent service, combined with their outstanding character, will undoubtedly contribute to successful outcomes in any context. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to discuss further details or have any additional questions. I am more than happy to provide any information relevant to their qualifications and exceptional skill-set. Sincerely, Sandi
