“A++++++!!! Christi is truly an exceptional cat sitter. She exceeded all expectations while looking after our kittens during our time away. Not only did she provide stellar care for our furry friends, but she also went the extra mile by assisting us in troubleshooting our chirping smoke detectors—an unexpected act of kindness that truly exemplifies her dedication. Throughout her visits, Christi showered our kittens with exceptional attention and care. From sending frequent updates with photos and videos to engaging them in play, grooming, feeding, and ensuring their living environment remained clean and comfortable, she left no stone unturned in her commitment to their well-being. Given our kittens' lively antics, often leading them into tricky situations at home, entrusting them to Christi's care brought us immense peace of mind. Her evident affection for animals shone through in every interaction. Her willingness to go above and beyond, such as recently rescuing newborn possums and stranded baby ducks, further underscored her profound compassion and competence. Christi's punctuality and responsiveness added to our confidence in her abilities, as she consistently arrived on time for each visit and promptly addressed any inquiries or additional instructions. We are eagerly anticipating our next trip, knowing that our beloved kittens will be in the capable hands of someone with such a genuine love for animals.”

Her experience as a groomer and pet sitter was evident immediately as most of my pets warmed to her during the meet and greet, the others taking just a visit or two to overcome their concerns.
