Our sweet cat, Poppy, is accustomed to lots of human companionship and cuddling and Samantha was ideal sitter for her. We arrived back home to find Poppy well-brushed and very "cat-like" in her appreciation for our return. That is to say, Poppy wasn't desperate or anxious, as she's been when we've just hired a neighbor to fill her bowl and empty her litter. Instead, Poppy was calm and cool, as if she'd been brushed, cuddled and loved while we were away. Samantha also looked after our house and sent pix to make sure we knew Poppy was happy an doing well. My only hesitation in writing this great feedback is that Samantha not become so popular that she's unavailable for our next time away. :-)
