Top rated Urbana cat sitters
“Heidi dropped in twice a day to feed our two cats and play with them while we were away on vacation for a week. It was less stress on the cats to be able to stay home and stick to their normal routines while we were gone. It was less stress on us getting the regular updates and images to see that they were enjoying Heidi's visits. All in all a great experience!”
“David is great, he provides Roxy with the care and stability she needs, allowing us to travel with peace of mind knowing she will be well cared for. Highly recommend him.”
“Melissa was wonderful and did a great job watching my cat, Sophie. I loved getting the daily checkin cards. Sophie was happy and really seemed to enjoy the company. Her coat was so soft and shiny, she must have enjoyed being brushed as well. Will certainly book again!”
“Julie was amazing! We were out of town and left our two cats at home. One of our cats hid from her the entire time but she took the time to search for her and make sure she was ok. Julia did everything she said she would. She sent some great pictures which put us at ease since we were out of town. I would highly recommend Julia and would use her again!”
“Macy did a great job taking care of my four cats, one of which requires medication twice a day. She provided updates with photos, giving me peace of mind while I was away. I recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“Amber was amazing and took really good care of my two cats! It is very obvious that she cares a lot about what she does and that she is highly knowledgeable. I have a chronically ill cat who requires daily medication and Amber had the experience to do this without a problem! Highly recommend Amber!”
“Madeline and my cat Sadie got along very well together. Madeline even spent time brushing my Sadie! I received daily updates, including pictures. It is so nice knowing that my pet was being cared for by someone who loves animals and pets. I would heartily recommend Madeline to anyone!”
“Danielle was great with my two cats! They loved having her come over and play and just hang out and cuddle. She also came to meet the cats and see how everything was laid out in the house. I will definitely use her again!”
“Joey and Sydney took care of my cat, Holly, while I was out of state for a week. They have ALWAYS done a great job - never miss visits, play with Holly as well as feeding, cleaning litter, etc. This time was exceptional because Holly hasn't been well and required twice-daily oral meds (very bitter taste), monitoring her eating and litter box, etc. When she had some issues, they communicated with me quickly and frequently. I was worried about Holly but they made it possible for me to enjoy my time with my family. I always check their availability before I lock in travel dates, hoping it will work out. Thank you Joey & Sydney!”
“I was so pleased with how Mabray treated K'aliya, with all the magical pictures of her playing/ chilling etc. and so happy that she got to go outside while I was gone which is a first! Best cat sitter ever!! ***** :)”
“We have two kittens that need lots of attention and one of which, is an escape artist. Bailey was amazing with our kittens and communicative, send lots of pics. She put us at ease and no one escaped!”
