Annette was a great companion for my little kitty while I was away for a couple of days. Communicative and tidy. I'd invite her back any time.

i HAVE HAD ANNETTE TAKE CARE OF MY HOUSE AND ANIMALS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. SHE LOVES DOGS AND CATS, TAKES CARE OF THEM BY TAKING THEM FOR WALKS AND GIVES THEM LOTS OF ATTENTION. SHE ALSO TAKES CARE OF THE HOUSE, CLEANS UP AFTER HERSELF AND DOES NOT SMOKE, DRINK OR PARTY. ANNETTE IS RELIABLE AND CONSCIENTIOUS AND I WOULD NOT HESITATE TO LEAVE HER IN CHARGE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
