Tara took care of our cat Evonne with drop-in visits all week, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Evonne clearly loved her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Tara was very reliable and did a great job keeping us updated after each visit. She sent regular photos and messages so we could see how Evonne was doing, which we really appreciated. It was obvious that she spent quality time with her and made sure she was comfortable and cared for. We would absolutely recommend Tara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter, and we’d be happy to book her again in the future.
