Janessa was awesome for us during a 2 week sit. Our cat and dog really took to her. We also came back to a house that was cleaner than we left it! Thank you

Janessa was terrific. She was easy to plan and coordinate with and the house, dog, and cat were all in excellent shape when I returned. Thank you Vanessa!

I have had the honor of living with Janessa for over a year. She has brought harmony, beauty and ease into our home. I appreciate her consistency in tending to daily cleaning details, organization, following through with what she says she is going to do and beautifying our shared spaces. I trust her with my home. Various times over the past year, I left for extended periods of time and left her in charge of watering my plants, keeping other housemates on track with cleaning and communicating to me anything that arose. She did a great job! I also trust her friends and social choices. She brings a peaceful, safe vibe to our home!
