Tina was able to take care of my cats when I needed her in a pinch! From providing a ton of pictures, to giving them little scavenger hunts with treats - I knew they were well taken care of when I was away!

Phillip took wonderful care of my cat. He was communicative and provided nice updates about how my cat was doing throughout the week. My cat seemed content when I returned. The liter box was well maintained, and the apartment smelled clean.

Marcie did a fantastic job looking after our cats and went far above and beyond taking care of them when one of them got sick after we'd left the country. She took Huey to the vet twice, administered medication, isolated him as needed while keeping him company, while making sure Slinky was well looked after as well. The boys love her as do we, and we hope to work with her again soon!

I’m so sad that I just found Christine and I’m moving in a month. Have been searching for someone as sweet and caring as her for so long. She constantly updated me, and sent the cutest photos. Felt so relieved all week knowing that my little babies were in her hands. Can’t recommend her enough ❤️
