“Mykale is a wonderful cat-sitter! I have two elderly cats, one of whom requires twice daily medication, and so I'm always a bit nervous about leaving them behind if I have to travel. Knowing that Mykale is dropping in on them while I'm gone has really put my mind at ease. She is very communicative and the cats warmed up to her really quickly. When the winter weather got truly awful she even switched to an overnight stay last minute to ensure that Rascal would get his medication in the morning as scheduled even if everyone got snowed in!”
