“Cleo took great care of our kittens and they loved hanging out with her! She fed them with well-made dry food, helped clean up litters and played with our cats with toys and lasers. She also took several adorable videos and photos that we loved so much. We are super appreciated Cleo’a visit and will definitely invite her to coming in the future.”
“Jen was great! She sent daily photos and updates about our cat, Milo, while we were gone for a week. I could tell by the photos that Milo clearly loved her company. She was very attentive with his food, water and litter box. She even played with him quite a bit during her 30 min visits. It was so comforting to know that Milo was in good hands while we were away. Thank you, Jen!”

“I can’t express how good of a job Lisa has done taking care of my two babies while I was on vacation. She was very detail oriented and respectful.

Not gonna lie I was very touched when I saw the photos after a long trip. 100% will book again and you should too!!”

I recommend Lori HIGHLY, and will definitely be contacting her anything I need a sitter!”

Amanda is an excellent cat sitter! Our cat Tilly has special medication needs and can be quite difficult, but Amanda had no problems with getting her to take the medicine. She was very communicative, super fast to respond, and sent lots of updates and pictures. She is very responsible and we will be booking again!
Lisa was incredible! We hired her to look after our shy kitty for a weekend. She asked a lot of questions and took notes on exactly what the protocol was. She even asked things we didn’t think about like what temperature to leave the thermostats on and stuff. Our kitty is quite shy but she did a great job getting her to come out to receive pets and eat her food! I was really impressed.
Fiona took such great care of our cats while we were out of town. I was quite anxious to leave them for over a week but she definitley put me at ease sending great updates and pictures!
