Monica did a fantastic job with my kitties and went above and beyond with cleaning their bowls, refilling their water, and scooping the litter daily. She was very communicative with me and sent lots of pictures, they had a blast playing with her and it showed!

Monica did an amazing job taking care of our cat while we were away for two weeks! We truly did not feel like we have to worry about our cat for even one second. She was so thoughtful, sending us the cutest photos and updates. And she was so inventive in playing with our cat, making forts and even introducing her to new toys like the laser toy which she loved! She was on top of communicating with us. Very trustworthy and caring, I cannot recommend Monica enough!

I have relied on Monica multiple times while I was out of town. She was so reliably taking care of my cat and she was also very flexible with last minute arrangements
