Karen looked after Megan’s pets & home

Karen is a kind and thoughtful person who always meets you with a friendly, comforting face. She looked after my house and pets in the past and was clean and organized. She is definitely someone that can be relied on to keep your home and family safe. I would definitely ask Karen again to take care of the things that mean the most to me.
