Absolutely recommended. Mayu recently looked after two of my wife and I's cats whilst we were overseas for over a week. This was made more complicated due to the fact that the cats were not yet friendly with each other (so they need to be kept separate), whilst still having their own time to roam around the house. More-so, one cat is on medication, whilst the other is very shy and sensitive. Mayu was proactive from the beginning about learning about the cats, their routines, their needs, and our needs as owners. She stopped in for a visit prior to the booking in order to meet the cats, review all of the details, and clarify any remaining questions. Whilst we were away, she provided daily updates on the health and mood of the cats, as well as fantastic photos of them (one of which is now my lock screen photo). She kept the litter boxes clean, fed the cats on a consistent schedule, refilled the water, provided medication, played with the cats, groomed them when possible, and made sure to tidy up after herself. Basically everything you'd want and expect in a cat sitter. Incredibly, the shy cat came out of her shell, and Mayu was able to give her chin scratches for the final few days. This was a brilliant update to see, as this cat usually takes much longer to feel comfortable with new people, and proves the ability for Mayu to earn trust from cats. We came back to both of our cats being in good health and happy to see us. We'll definitely be booking Mayu in the future.

We asked Sharon to be our 1st cat sitter for our 13 yr old rag doll while we were away overseas for 1 week. I’d say we made such a great decision to do so. Not only she’s very personable, she’s amazingly gentle and caring with our cat. She will let us know when she arrived at our place, and will send lots of videos and photos to show how our cat is doing. She didn’t just feed and brush him but she also spent time with him. That’s why our cat loves her whenever she comes by. I would definitely recommend Sharon for anyone needing a cat sitter. We will no doubt be asking her for help when we need some help cat sitting in the future :) Thank you Sharon for all the love and care you gave to Phillipe!
