I am so happy with Colin. And so is my cat Lucy. I was gone for eight days and I came back to a happy cat, a clean apartment and everything else was fine. It made my vacation, worry and stress free. I will use him again. He also sent me pictures almost every day. Thank you so much.

Colin was great and kept us updated on our cat while we were away for the holidays. He handled our cat’s medicine schedule really well!
