We were so lucky to have Stephanie cat sit for our girls. She did such a great job, I swear our girls were disappointed that we came home because we didn't give them the play attention they got from Stephanie. She gave us daily updates accompanied with pictures/movie and was super communicative. Will def continue using their services for sure!

These folks are wonderful. Everything is clear, professional, upfront, and reasonable. A particular shout out to Andrea, who goes beyond - videos, pictures, everything spotless. I always look forward to her updates. 10 stars if I could.

The cat sitter I had was not at all reliable or responsible. CONS: - The cat sitter does not stay for a full 30 minutes as the contract states but leaves after 15~20 minutes (usually 15 minutes). I know this because I have a nanny cam at home - The cat sitter is seen using phone quite often (sits on my couch and text or takes a call) - The cat sitter does not follow up about the upcoming dates, deposit etc.

I send them a reminder, I ask about the deposits etc. I am always chasing the cat sitter for administrative things as though I work for the cat sitter -The cat sitter talks condescendingly to my cat (I bet the cat sitter wouldn't have spoken to my cat that way in my presence) - The business owner never even checked in once to ask for my feedback - The cat sitter also helps itself with drinks in my refrigerator, forgets to close it after opening - The cat sitter never cleans the feeding area, not even a little.

I come home to absolute mess (one time I left a little hand-held vacuum cleaner by the sandbox, of course, it was not used) PROS: - Always does show up and feed the cat and cleans the litter Summary: The cat sitter does the bare minimum and is irresponsible.

We had a great experience with our cat sitter Patricia, who we found through Katie's Kitty. She was very flexible and accommodating with us during the busy holiday season, and even came over before we went away to meet our cat Phoebe and get the lay of the land. She sent us great photos and updates every day, and took care to notify us with any issues that came up. She even brought up a package for us in our walk up. This was our first time hiring someone to care for Phoebe, and we were so grateful to have someone we trusted!
