We got tons of photos and videos and you could tell she was having a blast with full command of the house, complete with climbing surfaces, pets, and cuddles. We will definitely be reaching out the next time we’re out of town!”

16. Emmalee G.
“Emmalee is great! She first sat for me back in December after my cat Justin had only been with me for about a month. He was still really nervous and unsure at that point— but this was Emmalee’s second time sitting for me and he really opened up! I could tell from the updates and photos that he is a big fan of hers. Emmalee always gives solid reports with great photos of their time together. She is my first choice for Justin and I would definitely recommend. ☀️”
17. Erin S.
“Erin was a huge help while I was gone for a week. She was able to do an emergency drop in when I requested & was always responsive. I was worried about leaving my cats alone, but Erin gave me peace of mind while I was away. She kept me informed with detailed summaries & photos of each of her drop ins. I highly recommend Erin!!”
18. Grayson D.
“Grayson took great care of my cat while I was away for two weeks! She went above and beyond making sure he was comfortable and got everything he needed.”
19. Nathan S.
“Nathan is an awesome cat sitter! He took care of my cat Rosie, who is high energy and a bit needy. Unlike a lot of cats Rosie needs quite a bit of play and attention, otherwise she will go on a hunger strike and sulk. I got home and Rosie was well fed, calm, and happy. Nathan provided me with photos and updates at every visit, I was able to spend time traveling with family knowing Rosie was in good hands. I will definitely be using Nathan again in the future!”
20. Kristen C.
“Kristen took wonderful care of my cat Rosie while I had to be gone over Thanksgiving. This was the longest I had ever left my cat with someone she did not know, and because of Kristen’s love and attention she did just fine! Kristen was so easy to get in touch with during the whole stay, and always very prompt in responding to texts which I so appreciated. I will definitely be using her again!”
