My husband & I travel 2-5 times a year, generally for 1-2 weeks at a time. We have two rescue cats that Ann took care of any time we left. They were always healthy & happy when we returned — they liked Ann. Ann did more than was required. She spent time getting to know each cat individually and gave them the attention & affection they enjoyed. Although we happen to have felines, Ann is a dog lover as well. She is completely trustworthy, and more than capable in any situation. She worked for us over several years before we moved away. If Ann is willing to work for you, you are a very fortunate pet parent! - Cheryl K
