“Mesgana is an incredibly wonderful caretaker absolutely wonderful. She did everything that I requested and was very accurate and careful and very loving towards my cat Fresno. Thank you so much for a really reassuring experience of leaving my cat in your hands!”
“Edward did a fantastic job taking care of my kitty while I was on vacation! St James was happy and relaxed when I got home and that is a good sign all his needs were met. Edward’s communication was excellent and I felt very confident my little one was in great hands. I will definitely rebook with Edward next time I am in need of a sitter!”
“Kat was everything you would want in a petsitter. She was responsible, communicative, capable, loved my elderly cat, and took great care of her. Mamacat was very content and peaceful when I arrived home, and the house was clean and well taken care of. Kat was used to giving oral medications, but had never done insulin injections before. She was happy to learn how, came ahead of time to be trained, and then performed Mamacat's whole daily routine smoothly without problems. She reached out when she had questions, sent updates, and overall was very responsive to my lengthy instructions. I felt Mamacat was in very capable and responsible hands, and I look forward to having Kat sit for my precious kitty again anytime. I highly recommend her!”
