Mark was great!! His daily updates were thorough and our cats were well taken care of. Everything was left very clean and tidy.

Mark was amazing! He dropped in on my cats twice a day for two weeks (and watered my plants!). He went above and beyond playing with their favorite toys, putting on cat TV, giving them lots of pets, and handled some more unusual requests with grace and understanding (one cat had a whole sniffing ritual when it came to petting, they both like when someone blows bubbles, they have a litter robot which I was concerned about someone handling, etc.) Usually when I get home from a vacation I’m greeted with loud meows and yelling (“where have you been?! how could you leave us?!”) but this time it was more of a quiet acknowledgement (“oh… you’re back… where’s the guy who was giving us treats?”) which really goes to show that they had a good time. Never been so happy to be ignored by them. ❤️ He also provided daily pictures and descriptions of their behavior, which was super appreciated as I’m definitely a helicopter parent about them. It also helped me identify when one of them was acting out of character and allowed me to provide advice on making her more comfortable.
