“Alex was absolutely wonderful! He came out to meet the cats beforehand and really listened to all of the information and spent time getting to know the kitties. He also read through and followed my written directions which are pretty extensive. He has top notch written communication skills. I generally got a several paragraph update on the cats each day, long with lots of daily pictures, and the info he sent was always very understandable and thorough. Alex couldn’t do mornings, so I had other people filling in. One of them accidentally locked the cat in a room that was supposed to be kept closed. Alex noticed, even though this particular cat will not come out to see anyone ever, and expressed his concern to me That he didn’t notice her food was being eaten. He then spent quite a while searching for the cat and managed to find her, and carry her out, even though she was really scared. He cleaned up the mess she made, and she must’ve been pretty happy with him because he saw her every day after that. He even left notes for the other sitters as needed if things were not going well. He took care of plants and many other things on top of that, and the house was clean and spotless, with pictures of the water bowl, litter boxes, and food dishes every day. I feel totally comfortable leaving my cats in his care anytime!”
“Kristin was wonderful! I have a sassy calico kitty and she was patient and kind with her! By about the 5th day she started warming up to Kristin so I know she was good with her! I felt very comfortable with Kristin caring for her and didn’t worry about my baby while I was gone! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. My parents always said you want it, you take care of it.

I have house sit for Family and friends and love the fuzzy creatures company! I’m currently enrolled in Community college, during the day and work part-time at night. The weekends Would be the best but I can still house sit on the weekdays depending on the needs of the pet and owner! Our two doggies Bear and Blue spend most of their time inside, and in our big backyard playing with the ball. I am capable of ensuring the animals are played with, fed, and taken out! With my dogs I usually feed them separately incase if food aggression, but I can follow any rules that pet owners need for their furry friends.
