“Ashley was great! She gave us frequent updates and pictures every day:) And my cat loved her! Which we were surprised about because he’s usually very shy and hides, but he always comes out for Ashley! Would recommend.”
“Natashia was wonderful with our kitty! Our cat is just a year old, and really has not seen anyone but myself, my spouse, and the vets office. I was worried she’d be scared during the drop in visits. But Natashia was so patient and sweet with her, she came out and visited with her, got pets, and they played! Natashia followed the instructions I shared with her perfectly. She was communicative sending me photos each day, letting me know how my kitty was doing. Shes very kind, you can tell she treats all pets in her care like their her own. Natashia will be my first choice next time I leave town, and I’d recommend her pet sitting to everyone I know.”
