Esther is very responsible & professional pet sitter and she took care of my cat very well when I was out of town. She helped to feed the medicine for my cat and always inform me the details which are very helpful for me. Appreciated for the works she did when I really need a pet sitter to help me🙏. Highly recommended 👍👍👍!

Claire is a fantastic cat sitter, and while we were anxious to leave our cat at home for the first time in a while, she made us feel calm and confident in our 2 week trip away. Our cat is an older boy (14) and requires a bit more attention than most, due to a health condition. Claire was more than happy to help with us with a specific meal and medicine schedule, and extra attention to his litter box, as he can be very fussy. Claire sent us really fantastic updates every day, with lots of lovely pictures and detailed messages to keep us worry-free during our trip, which we really appreciated. She went out of her way to ensure he was happy, fed/watered, medicated and given lots of attention and tickles every day. Even with some unexpected issues she was calm, collected and went above and beyond to help us make sure our cat was really well cared for. Thank you so much Claire, we would highly recommend you and we will be in touch if we ever have to leave our grumpy, lovely old boy again in future!
