Alice & Marcus looked after Maia’s pets & home
Alice and her daughter live next door to us and have looked after our budgies for us. They were so reliable and that gave us the peace of mind to relax into our holiday and not worry. They managed to follow our bird's complex feeding schedule perfectly and spent lots of time with them. They were read to, sung to and generally provided with lots of stimulating company. Our house was well looked after too and everything was left clean and tidy. Definitely recommend Alice and family to any other pet owners looking for a sitter. They're lovely, kind, reliable, tidy and will spoil your pet with lots of love.
