Suanne and Russ provided outstanding care for our home for nearly 3 weeks while our family traveled Europe. Among our many pets, she cared for our hamster, several dozen fish, one cat and a 6-month-old puppy. All were in stellar health and happy when we returned. The home actually looked better than when we left it! This is not an easy thing to do when there are so many animals living in the house. Plants throughout the home and yard were well watered and kept safe from the deer. To top it off, they prepared some goodies so we would have something tasty waiting for us after a long journey home. I would not hesitate 1 minute to recommend this awesome team to take care of your home in the future.
