Priska watched my rather highstrung cat for several nights in early June this year. When she came over to meet the cat it seemed to me she was observant, attentive, friendly, and kind, and gave Ralph time to investigate her. She was inevitably prompt with logistical emails and texts, which was wonderfully reassuring; I especially appreciated her texting us a little video of him playing, as well as a couple photos. She updated us as to when she arrived, and as to when she left. Also, she left the kitchen scrupulously clean. All in all, you couldn't find someone more reliable or likely to put your mind at ease (and your cat at ease!). I've had a few other petsitters stay with Ralph before, and when I've returned he's often been really on edge, whereas when I came back from this (admittedly short) trip he seemed absolutely himself. I would recommend Priska to any person with a cat, and very likely to any person with a dog, too -- given that she has a background with animals, I'm sure she'd be terrific for them, too.
