1. Sarah G.
“Wow. Sarah was exceptional! I was out of town for 10+ days. Sara consistently sent pictures along with a status of each visit. Cats were very well taken care of. Sara is the sitter you hope to find while taking a chance on an app. I am fortunate to have found her. Thank you Sara! P.S. cat food ran low so Sara volunteered to pick up a bag. That is service with a smile!”

“Rachel was great and made me comfortable leaving my cats for a week. She sent me pictures and videos like I asked for and seemed to genuinely enjoy spending time with my cats :) Rachel kept an eye on heat warnings in the area and adjusted my AC and fan accordingly & recognized when the cats would enjoy some open-window fresh air which I really appreciated. I would definitely ask Rachel to cat sit again in the future!”
