Pearl has become our go-to cat sitter. She's responsible, responsive, patient (with us and the kitties), and is easy to work with. We are confident the cats are in good hands with her. She has cat-sat for us for several weekends and we re-booked her for a longer trip in 2017. I actually went to book her for the longer trip and it looked like she wasn't available, freaked out that we'd have to find someone else, and texted her to check if she could be available. She texted me back almost immediately and helped me book the visit (I had been booking the wrong way, whoops!). Our cats both have special needs & feeding/multiple medications twice a day on schedule is important and a little complicated. In the past, our older cat has had episodes of urinary cystitis and weight loss triggered by the stress of her schedule being disrupted even for just weekend. Pearl checks in at consistent times and lets us know if there's anything out of the ordinary going on, especially for our elderly kitty. When Pearl cat-sits for us, we come home to two healthy cats who barely seemed to notice we were gone.
