Jenni is the cat whisperer ! I was in need of a pet sitter and found Maid for your pet. She was very patient and listened to my pet needs. Definitely felt comfortable leaving my kitties in Jenni's hands. She even sent kitty updates w/ photos. I highly recommend her services. Affordable and quality pet care.

I felt such relief with Jenni caring my very shy, female torti, Delilah. We scheduled a consultation about a month before my trip and Jenni was so thorough, making sure she understood each detail of my requests. It usually takes Delilah at least a month of regular contact to even come out into the room when someone else is there, but she came out during this first visit. I was amazed! But Jenni knew to not stress out Delilah while I was away, and let her hide while she took care of her needs. Jenni's daily text message updates with pictures are especially comfort when we're away from our companion cats! It's great to not feel worried about the next time I go out of town.

Jenni is the perfect blend of kind and professional! I get anxious when I have to leave our cats for some time, and Jenni made us feel at ease! I love getting the text updates, and she did a great job making sure we set clear care guidelines that could be followed to the letter. I will certainly be relying on Jenni for future trips, and I look forward to anxiety-free vacations in the future!

Jenni is truly the best cat sitter I have ever worked with. We were referred to her by a friend after our previous cat sitter unexpectedly closed his practice, and we are so grateful to have found her! Jenni has a special bond with cats, and our Siberian kitty, Inga, really loves her. Jenni is responsive and provides us with several updates throughout her visits with Inga. Jenni understood we were anxious to leave Inga, and worked with us to provide extended visits to meet our needs.

She even was able to stay a little extra time to comfort our kitty after an unexpected building fire drill. She makes sure Inga has great companionship and stimulation while we are away, and Inga is always in a great mood when we return from our trips. I would highly recommend Jenni for anyone who is looking for a new cat sitter -- she is just the greatest.

Jenni took great care of our little panther son while we were away for a short vacation. We really appreciate the professional care she took, making sure she knew what our cat's needs were and also making sure we were on the same page about the service she provided. While we were gone, she texted us adorable pictures of our little guy looking relaxed and content with his new babysitter. It was very comforting to know that our cat was in such good hands. We'll be using her services again soon!
