Emily has been watching our cats (up to 5) for about 3 years. She checks on them regulaty and interacts with them when she comes. She puts out treats and visits with the cats so they know they have not been deserted. They are normally in/outdoor, but are inside when we are gone. Shes is careful that cats do not get out when she comes and goes. This was especially important when I had cats that were sick. She would check on them without disturbing them. She sent pics so we knew they were ok. Photos showed cats in their favorite spots , calm with eyes focused not dilated. Further when I got a new kity, Emily also went out of her way to get familiar with "Miss Kitty." We have her hellp with the cats about 5 days a month. She is very dependable and available on short notice. We would highly recommend her help for your pet.
