Safety, trust & environment

Cats (I have 3 currently) run our household. Fortunately I have a very mellow dog that puts up with them! You can be sure I will follow your directions and if there are special needs that I don't believe I can handle, I will let you know that up-front.

Barbara is absolutely wonderful and truly goes above and beyond. She took excellent care of my cat, spent extra time with her, and kept me updated while I was away. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cat was in such caring and reliable hands. I couldn’t appreciate Barbara more and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional cat sitter!

Barbara is wonderful! She is a cat “whisperer “, and instantly made a connection with both of our cats the very first time she met them. She was very good with communicating and sending pictures, and even went above and beyond, watering our impatiens outside! We will absolutely use her again!!

Barbara took such great care of our cat. Our cat is on the shyer side, and Barbara ensured that our cat was calm and relaxed during her visit. Barbara definitely made our cat open up more. I would recommend Barbara to anyone who has shyer cats.

Barbara was wonderful with my naughty boys and went the extra mile to clean up messes, plus whatever new issues popped up. Would highly recommend!

Fluffy had a great time during Barbara’s visits and we felt lucky to have found a true cat lover to care for her! Barbara knew what issues to look out for and was willing to go above and beyond while we were away. Thanks Barbara!
