Would certainly ask her to watch them again!”


Emily & Sarah W.
“Sarah and Emily are the most competent and caring pet caregivers I have experienced! They have cared for my 2 cats, Buddy and Peanut, on 4 separate occasions. We leave instructions and food out for them to make things easy and understandable, and each time, our cats are well cared for. We have a unique feeding situation as both cats have different anxiety and food needs, and they have been more than accommodating to this. I have been able to contact them for updates on our cats, as they are both rescues who are extremely anxious around strangers. I am met with understanding and compassion. They both ensure that Buddy and Peanut eat their food, are safe (as they are indoor only cats), and able to experience minimal anxiety. On multiple occasions, they have stayed for over an hour to wait for my cats to eat, as Peanut in particular is very anxious about eating. Overall, I trust no one else to care for my cats the way that Sarah and Emily have in the last couple of years!!”
