Cathy was very communicative and caring. She sent lots of pictures of my cats. My cat’s nervous personality was not ideal for the setting where they could hear and smell dogs nearby. The cats were closed up and safe in a room, though I wish there could have been more air flow and light in the room.

Cathy took great care of my 3 cats. I was confident they would be in good hands while with her and when I need a sitter I would trust her to give them attention and love.

Cathy loves dogs and cares for them like the special creatures they are. She sent in-depth updates and photos so we knew our Phoebe was in good hands.

I keep all pet family's separate in designated comfortable areas for safety. Both inside and outside.
