I have always been an animal lover in my entire life.
I have had a reasonable amount of experience in taking care of animals. As I have been living with different kinds of pets, like dogs, cats, hamsters, etc. and have been taking care of them in a daily basis.
Pet owners like yourselves would be worried about carers abusing your darling.
I can promise that no animals would be harmed during the time that you're away, and I would treat your pets just like my own.
You can always check on your pets during your trip. :)...
