“Rebekah took great care of our 4 cats! They were well-fed and got the love and attention they needed while we were out of town for the weekend. Will definitely book again!”
“I'm very glad to have found Cassie to take care of my kitties while I was gone! She took plenty of pictures and left detailed notes for each visit which was super reassuring.”
“Paigg took great care of my very "senior" cat. She spent some extra time with him and kept him company. If (when) we travel again, Paigg will be our first call.”
“This was the first time that Kara took care of our kitties for us. We had a nice meet and greet a couple days before we left and I felt confident that they were in good hands.? Really enjoy receiving the messages and pictures! We will definitely have her take care of them again!”
“Sydney was amazing! She was always in touch and kept us informed of how Dobby was doing and when she was on her way to see him. It was our first time leaving him while we went on vacation so we were very concerned with how he was doing, but Sydney put all of our anxiety to ease with the photos and consistent communication. I felt very comfortable with Sydney and will definitely be booking her for future services! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Megan was an absolute godsend. I felt guilty leaving my little guy home alone for a week. It weighed heavily on my mind. Megan met Eoin (Owen) before I left, and I immediately felt reassured. I worried that he would hide and not have interaction. Megan sent pictures on the first day, (and every day), and Eoin interacted with her. And I could tell she actively was engaging him with toys and lots of petting. After day 1, I was able to enjoy my vacation. I highly recommend Megan😊.”
“Lisa provided wonderful TLC to our cat. We enjoyed her reports and pictures and we looked forward to her daily updates during our trip. Would definitely hire her again.”
“Breezy was amazing with our kitties! She did a meet and greet with them, in which they immediately gravitated towards her despite them being on the shyer side. She was patient and understanding of our more finicky cat and provided thorough updates during each check in about how much they ate, toileting, and behavior. She also played with them and gave them love at each visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again to watch our kitties :)”
