“Haley has watched our cats several times now, and the cats, even our very shy and nervous one, have accepted her. It is a tremendous relief to me to have a sitter the cats trust.”
2. Cassie H.
“We recently moved to the area and were looking for someone to watch our two cats while we were out of town for the weekend. We were very happy to have found Cassie and will definitely use her in the future!”
3. Jada P.
“Jada was great! She was understanding of the complicated situation with the cats (1 outdoor and 2 indoor and they do not mix well) and followed all the instructions for keeping them separate exactly as I asked. She interacted with the kitties just the perfect amount and let them come to her on their own terms. She truly understands cats. This was my first time using a pet sitter and I was really nervous about leaving my babies with a stranger. The way Jada treated my kitties made me feel so much better about going out of town. She's awesome! Thank you so much Jada!!”
