“Cameron watched our 2 kitties, Alfie and Joey, when we went to Maine. She did visits morning and night. She did a great job and sent plenty of updates and pictures. The kitties warmed right up to her. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were well taken care of. She is someone who loves cats and can be trusted.”
