We cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional cat-sitting services provided by Juliette. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she had a genuine love and understanding for cats. Juliette goes above and beyond the typical duties of a cat sitter. Not only did she ensure our cats Silky and Sace's basic needs were met, but she also took the time to engage in play, provide extra cuddles, and send us adorable photo updates. It was evident that our furballs not only felt well cared for but genuinely enjoyed Juliette and her kids company who loved brushing the cats. Her attention to detail is commendable. She followed all feeding instructions, maintained a clean litter box, and even went the extra mile by bringing in my parcel. It's the little touches like these that set Juliette apart. What sets Juliette apart is her communication skills. She kept me informed daily with detailed updates, assuring me that everything was going smoothly. Knowing that our cats were in such capable and caring hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. We wholeheartedly recommend Juliette to anyone in need of a cat sitter. She is not just a caretaker; she is a true cat enthusiast who treats your feline friend as if they were her own. I can't thank Juliette enough for the peace of mind she provided, and we will undoubtedly be reaching out to her for all my future cat-sitting needs. Five out of five purrs!

I recently had the pleasure of having Joey as a cat sitter for my beloved feline friend, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Joey's responsiveness was truly impressive; she replied promptly to my initial inquiry and all subsequent communications, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. What stood out to me was Joey's responsibility and genuine care for my cat. She went above and beyond by bringing special snacks for him, which was a delightful surprise. Joey also made sure to spend quality time playing with him, ensuring he was happy and engaged during my absence. Moreover, Joey meticulously followed all the instructions I provided, from feeding schedules to my cat's quirky preferences, showing her attention to detail and commitment to providing the best care possible. It was clear that my cat developed a fond liking for her, which is the highest praise a cat sitter can receive from a pet. I wholeheartedly recommend Joey to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter for their cat. Her dedication to ensuring the well-being and happiness of pets is truly commendable.
