When we went on a cruise last year, I called Homebuddies to get a pet sitter. We have dogs, a rat, fish and rabbits (kids!) and needed someone to look after all of them. The young lad they sent out was great. She had references, and listened intently while I told her about each pet and how to care for it. When we got home the house was spotless and all our pets were fine. I would recommend them.
