8. Bret L.
“Bret is the absolute best! She was a house sitter/catsitter for my six-year-old rescue cat while I was out of town for a number of days in December. My cat is a sensitive soul, and has a touch of separation anxiety, but she quickly warmed up to Bret and soon was busy making biscuits and snuggling up. My cat can also be a bit picky with food (special diet) but it was handled very well and Bret has both the experience and patience to ensure she had the right mix and that she ate well. It was very reassuring receiving daily picture updates of my happy kitty. Thank you so much Bret!!”
