Olivia was very responsive and easy to work with. She showed great care for our senior cat and kept us informed while we were away.

Olivia has been our trusted Cat sitter for 2 years now. Our long haired older cat Jazzi loves Olivia so much, normally when we would go away Jazzi would meow up an angry storm after we returned home and now when she is being looked after by Olivia Jazzi has a very calm and unruffled disposition when we return home. We know this is because Olivia goes above and beyond by not just feeding her and tending to her littler, she also makes sure she connects with her in some way each time by playing with her, brushing her, or spending time giving some good old belly rubs, Jazzi's favorite. Our house is always exactly how we left it with all the kitty things tidy and well kept. Olivia also has great communication through out our time away sending photos of Jazzi and giving us a nice daily update on how she is doing. We are so happy we found such a valuable and trusted person to watch over our sweet Jazzi when we are out of town. We full heartedly recommend Olivia as a responsible and loving pet sitter.
