We are responsible individuals who can make informed decisions in emergencies. 4. INSURANCE: We are covered with liability insurance and pet carers' insurance 5. REFERENCES: Our best reference is that most of our clients are repeat customers. We have plenty of positive recommendations from previous clients and return year after year. 6.
