Highlights
Pet care experience
Nobody cares for your cats like me!
I adore cats. All cats. I started out by taking care of all my friends' pets, and when word got around how much love and care I give them, the phone rang off the hook. Whenever I've had to go out of town and leave my cats either at a boarding place or have someone stop in, I always thought, "I need someone like me to look after my cats." I prefer doing overnight stays, as it helps to relax your cats, but I will do stop-ins if that's your preference. Either way, I take care of your babies like mine!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Besides giving your cats love and attention (I always let them dictate to me what their needs are or how much affection they want or don't want), I make sure their food is given to them in the manner you want and that there's fresh water; I constantly check and clean the litter box - usually right after they go, or as soon as I arrive and then on a regular basis while I'm there. I play with them with their toys of choice; I also make up new games like hide-n-seek, caboose rides in cardboard boxes; I send you photos and videos of all the cuteness. I also am very clean and will leave your place in impeccable order. Most importantly, I make your buddies feel safe and loved.
Ratings and reviews
Peggy is the absolute best! I feel completely at ease being away from home with her housesitting my 2 cats who need a lot of attention and presence. Peggy always sends the most adorable updates and photos and is a quick communicator. Best of the best!
Peggy house sat for my senior kitty Winston while I was on a two week trip. She did a fabulous job, I can tell he has a good time as he is relaxed when I return home. Peggy sends the best photos and updates without being prompted which is great. My neighbors like her too. My cat has some health issues and she kept me updated and my cat comfortable.
Peggy is the best. In every way. She is incredibly thorough and she takes the best photos. I felt so confident having her house sit for my senior kitty as I knew he was receiving exceptional care.
I’m so grateful for the amazing care Peggy gave my three cats. I think another review summed it up perfectly, calling her “The Mary Poppins of Cats”! On her visit to my house to meet the cats and have a walkthrough, all three cats were insta toy happy and relaxed and affectionate with her, including one guy who is normally shy, and one gal who is VERY picky about the humans she hangs out with! I was so impressed and instantly knew I’d made the right call booking Peggy. During her stay Peggy was always communicative and good natured. She’s a gifted cat photographer and shared some of the best pics I’ve ever seen of the cats, many times a day. It was wonderful to see how relaxed the cats were, and that they were plainly having fun with Peggy and enjoying her stay. I got the impression Peggy genuinely enjoyed hanging out with the cats, and that it was very mutual from the feline end. She went above and beyond by offering to swing by after work while I was travelling back to give the cats dinner. She had only been booked until breakfast but that extra kindness was a huge relief for me when I found out my flight was delayed. She left my house in beautiful condition, and the cats were super relaxed when I got home. Thanks Peggy, you’re a legend for a reason!
Peggy is a rare gem! She is a wonderful person to meet with and you can trust her implicitly with your fuzzy family. Peggy took care with all of the tiny details and had an endless well of patience in earning the trust of our weird and stubborn little cat. We are so thankful to have found such a giving and attentive person to look after our home and our gray baby.
Peggy is the best.
