“Katy is awesome! She's very responsive and my cat Oliver immediately loved her. She was also very understanding when I had to modify the booking at the last minute. I appreciated her flexibility. Thanks Katy!”
“Dylan has watched my senior kitty Winnie twice now and again was an amazing sitter. She was highly communicative and I loved receiving her pictures and comments on how Winnie was doing. Winnie loves Dylan and they formed the sweetest bond. I knew my cat was in great hands while Dylan was taking care of her. She was clean and graciously cleaned Winnie's dishes and kept the house tidy. I HIGHLY recommend Dylan, she's reliable and amazing at taking care of animals.
