We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Isbah! She took amazing care of our cats—Meow Meow, Romeo, and Sushi—while we were overseas from January 14 to February 2. Knowing that our fur babies were in such loving and responsible hands gave us complete peace of mind. 🧘🏻‍♀️ Isbah came to our home daily to look after them, ensuring they were well-fed, comfortable, and received plenty of love and attention. She kept us updated with messages, photos and videos, which reassured us that they were happy and well cared for. It was clear that she genuinely cared for their well-being, and we returned home to three very content and relaxed cats. 💕 She is incredibly trustworthy, and we truly appreciate her dedication. If you’re looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter who can care for your pets in the comfort of your own home, we highly recommend Isbah. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future! 🌟 🐈‍⬛🐈🐈

We recently returned from a 5-day trip and couldn't be happier with the exceptional care our cats received from Jessie. Her dedication went far beyond our expectations! Our cats are typically quite shy with strangers, but Jessie showed remarkable patience and understanding. Through a thoughtful combination of toys, treats, gentle music and careful coaxing from their hiding spots, she gradually earned their trust. By the end of her stay, both cats were completely comfortable with her—our youngest, Moka, even followed her around the house purring loudly, which is a true testament to how safe they felt in her presence. Jessie was meticulous about maintaining their daily routine. The litter box was always spotlessly clean, water bowls were refreshed regularly, food was provided on schedule, and she offered treats at just the right times. Most importantly, she gave them abundant attention and playtime daily. What truly impressed us was her consistent communication. We received daily text updates along with adorable photos and videos of our furry companions, which provided wonderful peace of mind while we were away. When we returned home, we found two very happy, relaxed cats—the ultimate proof of excellent care. Jessie is an absolute gem of a pet sitter, and we will definitely be utilising her services again for future trips. Her genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. I couldn't possibly recommend her highly enough!
