“This was our second time having Melissa cat sit, and again she took great care of our cats! She gave medications and had no problems working with our somewhat difficult cat. I always hope she’s available when we travel!”
“Mary rose was amazing!!! She took care of khaleesi and loved her like she was her own. She hung out with her for way longer than requested and snuggled her. My girl has a lot of separation anxiety and I feel so much better knowing she had someone to cuddle with while I was away. Highly recommend Mary rose!!!”

Kaylyn K.
“I have known Kaylyn for over 15 years. She cared for my mother and her cat, Miranda, for many years. I could always depend on Kaylyn. She is very personable, a good listener, and follows instructions well. I learned early on that Kaylyn was a compassionate animal lover and dedicated to caring for her dogs. After my mother passed, Kaylyn came back and cared for Miranda when I went on a week-long vacation. As always, she was dependable and reliable. Miranda was well-fed and in good hands in my absence.”
Gregory S.
“Gregory loves cats and realizes many need patience to get to know strangers. He is very responsible and trustworthy. He shows up on time and does a good job following instructions. In addition, he also knows how to give cats that are in kidney failure fluids. This was helpful because I felt like I couldn't go away when my cat needed to get fluids every other day. It was a relief to have someone with experience take care of my fur baby.”
