âShikha was so great!! She took great care of my cat while I was away for two weekends - she played with him, gave him treats, made sure his litter box was clean, and kept his bird videos playing. She also sent me updates and lots of pictures of my cat and I could tell he really enjoyed her company. Super thankful!â

âJennifer took great care of my cat Monty! She was very kind and responsible, and communicated well. Any other pet would be lucky to have her look after them!â

âAshley was amazing with our kitten. He has full kitten energy and kept her on her toes. She kept calm and carried on. Our drop off was not smooth because our work schedule had changed suddenly. She was very flexible about the drop off time which was immensely helpful for us. She also sent us cute pics and videos to assure us things were under control. We loved Ashley and would love to work with her again if she is willing to put up with our crazy kitten.â

âMarissa was great! Super accommodating for a last minute booking and not being able to meet her beforehand. Howdy was happy when I got home and I could tell heâd been fine while I was gone. He didnât get into anything or make any messes which tells me he was super comfy with her!â

We had a wonderful experience with Celien! She took excellent care of our cats â she made sure they were fed, played with them, and was incredibly attentive to their needs. I really appreciated the detailed updates she sent about how much they ate along with the cutest photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about them, and they were happy and comfortable when we got home. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!

Weâve had some cat sitters that wouldnât even attempt to play or get to know the cats. Alyssa is the exact opposite. She is so great and really spends as much quality time as theyâll allow during the visits. She provides great updates and pics as always.
