This was our first time with Lizz and she did an absolutely outstanding job. We have a pair of very sweet rescue cats, but they have a trauma history and that has resulted in some special needs in their feeding and care. As usual, the cats did all their usual cat things (refusing to eat, hiding etc). Then our equally finicky 1860's house acted up with a blaring wired-in smoke detector fail that further upset the cats until Lizz fixed it. Next came an epic heat dome, that descended upon the city meaning Lizz had to enact our complicated fan-cooling strategic window opening and closing choreography (since we don't have AC). The final insults was "Hazardous to Health" air quality levels sweeping into town from Canadian wildfires. Each challenge brought me to the nail-chewing brink of canceling the vacation and flying home, but Lizz's competence and solutions won me over each time. Lizz is exceptionally smart, skilled in cat herding and house issues. She is a good communicator: quickly responsive and compassionate with a nice sense of humor. She ended the cats' food strike quickly with special Lizz tricks, found all their difficult-to-access hiding places, and although these cats are hardcore fugitives; I claim they had nice expressions on their faces in the later photos (indicating they decided they liked Lizz too.) Lizz is our hands-down first choice for our next trips, even though after all of this we are possibly her last choice. Highly recommend!

Great with our shy cat! Gave him his space but made an effort to get him more comfortable, and eventually he did!!
