Lucretia is amazing!! Hands down one of the best sitters I’ve ever used. She really goes above and beyond to make your animals feel comfortable and cared for. She sends lots of videos and pictures and is really communicative. She also swept and washed the cat bowls and such, plus lit a candle while she was there so when I got home from my trip my house felt somewhat clean and welcoming. She’s the only sitter I’ll be using from here on out. Highly recommend!

Every visit comes with thoughtful updates, amazing photos, and so much intentional playtime. It’s clear she really cares and takes the time to make each visit special. I especially appreciate how mindful she is about keeping my cat’s eating space clean and organized. She’s incredibly communicative, reliable, and genuinely attentive. I feel totally at ease knowing my cat is in such good hands.
