Everything was fine. I appreciate the cleaning of the carrying cage and the litter box. I will use the service again. Thank you!

I think Marilyn is a wonderful cat sitter. She was recommended to me by a friend. We set a time to meet and she was very punctual. My cat Bella definitely liked her company. Marilyn took excellent care of Bella, feeding her and cleaning her litter box. Bella is on a prescription diet and has problems eating sometimes so it was a relief to know she was being cared for by Marilyn. She sat on the sofa and brushed Bella and Bella loves attention and she’s a social eater so Marilyn was perfect. She gave timely reports and sent pictures too! I’ve already scheduled to use her services again in a few weeks. I’d highly recommend her to others.
