We were lucky when we found Amanda to cat sit for a week on short notice! She went above and beyond to make sure both of our stubborn cats took their medicine, her updates and communication were clear and prompt, and she sent so many great pictures of the cats eating and getting snuggles. We’d definitely rebook!

Amanda has been taking care of my cats for a couple years now and every visit has been amazing! She is a clear communicator and I especially love all the photos she includes during each visit. It is so re-assuring to see them doing well and I even get a few laughs out of some of the silly faces my kitties make during the pictures. Not only does she take time to feed and care for them, but also takes time to play and run them around which is great for their enrichment and helps to burn off pent up energy. I now have 3 cats so their routine has changed with new specifics, but Amanda has great attention to detail to ensure they are the most comfortable while we are away. Thank you Amanda for all you do!
