She is friendly, dependable, and did not hesitate to bring any questions she had to our attention. Would happily trust Sarah to watch our cat again 😊 🐈”
“The best sitter I have had in a long time. Respects property, keeps feeding and litter areas clean, and above all, gives my boys love and affection with each visit. They seem to look forward to seeing her and that’s rare with my shy boys.”
“Anna was great! Anna communicated well, both before and during her visits with our cat, Mia. Anna took good care of her and made sure she got her medicine and had enough to eat and drink. Our cat is wary of strangers and usually hides in their presence. It was so nice to see Anna’s photos of our cat welcoming her and eating the food Anna placed out for her. Overall, Anna is easy to do business with and accommodating. She even agreed to feed our turtle while visiting. We would be happy to use Anna for future visits and recommend her to other pet owners.”
