Pamela looked after my cat for a week and did a great job! She provided lots of picture and detailed info during her visits. Would ask Pamela to help again anytime!

Pamela did a great job caring for my two cats! One of them warmed up very easily, but the other was very shy, and Pamela did a great job experimenting with techniques to try to make her comfortable.

Pam was super kind and patient with my anti-social kitty. She did a great job with the instructions left and made me feel like Katie was in good hands while I was away.

There's a reason why Pamela has so many repeat bookings, and that's because she's an absolutely fantastic pet sitter! She's trustworthy, reliable, responsible, and responsive. She logged every visit, sent pictures and notes, and reassured me that my cat was safe and happy. I honestly think that my cat misses her. You really can't go wrong with Pamela. A+++
