    Review for Storm

  • “Lusia looked after our French Bulldog, Leo and our cat, Raven, at our home, on two occasions when we went away on holiday. She was reliable and neat and our pets love her. She is gentle but able and took Leo on two walks every day. It would highly recommend Lusia as a pet sitter!”

  • “Mose is a very affectionate person and just has a nature of loving pets. She has cared for multiple bunnies one with a unique name called Dono-sonokwasi,which I really love because it shows how she put so much care to create a unique, probably non existing name for her bunny.”
