Highly recommend Laura & Santi! They took such great care of my house and my dog Bowie. Super respectful, clean and fantastic communication. Nothing was a problem for them. It was my first time leaving Bowie with house sitters so I was a bit nervous but it could not have gone better. Thanks Laura & Santi! Hopefully we catch up again soon. 💕
Thank you so much to Lau and Santi for taking such great care of our furry son! We 100% recommend these guys and wish them a wonderful trip!
