Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My cats have free rein of my home. They have a cat tree that they love to sleep on, and a cat tree toy that they play with plus they love naps near my windows. I have different types of toys and different catnip toys to keep them entertained and their brains engaged. I also dedicate time each morning to brush her since that’s one of their favorite activities. Each cat has a different personality so I adjust the routine according to what their needs are.

Candace came to meet me and the kittens before booking which I really appreciated. One of the kittens can be shy, but they immediately warmed to Candace. She was timely with her check ins and sent photos and blurbs about how they were doing. I felt relieved they were getting such great care while I was away.

Candace did a great job with my kitten Blue while I was away. She came twice a day, made sure he had fresh water and that his feeder and litter box were working, and gave him plenty of playtime and attention. She sent updates and photos after every visit, so I never had to wonder how he was doing. Blue was calm and happy when I got home. She's dependable, easy to communicate with, and clearly cares about the animals she watches. Highly recommend, and I'll be booking her again!

Candace was AWESOME! She watched our cats for an about a week, and made us feel so comfortable knowing our cats were happy and cared for. She always had great pictures and descriptions of what they were doing. She even went above and beyond, being willing to check our mail and clean up some of the messes our cats were making. We will definitely book with her again!
