“Briana has been incredibly responsive, detailed, and on top of everything from the moment she received the request to the end of each visit. We were gone for a few days and experimenting with having someone drop-in, and she has left us feeling so at ease and connected to our cat, even while we're away! In addition to showering Sunny with cuddles and affection, she also sent us a complete report of each visit complete with pictures and a play-by-play of their time, which is such a nice thing to have when someone isn't there full time. She is kind, responsible, and one of the most on-top-of-it sitters I have had. 10/10!!”
