Most recent review
April was AMAZING at taking care of my older hens and gave them so much love and attention. Before she arrived on her scheduled date, one was attacked and had been seen by a terrific chicken vet for a little fix on her neck, which required light oral medication. April was more than efficient with all that was required, while I was in another country! Fabulous is the only feeling and completely at ease, knowing she was sending me video updates, voice messages and even tidy up my garden to help keep them company! Outstanding pet sitting in my book and would hire her again in a second! Thanks April, you're a true chicken whisperer. :)
