We are so lucky to have had Michelle as our cat-sitter. Our older cat, Gluino, got unexpectedly ill during her stay. Michelle recognised the signs and immediately called the vet to check on what should be done. Then, she rushed him to the clinic. His condition was very serious. Once stabilised, she took him home and monitored him the entire weekend. Gluino had high fever, his breathing was abnormally fast and refused to eat. Michelle went out of her way to find foods that might entice him to not starve himself. She bought chicken, tuna, tried treats and his favourite wet-food. She made sure to administer medicine, measure his breathing, stay in touch with the vet and make an appointment for Monday at another clinic (where it was planned for him to undergo more detailed tests). All this while keeping us updated about his wellbeing and taking care of our younger cat Nacho. She had to juggle the needs of a seriously ill cat and a young, active cat and was extremely resourceful in doing this. We were abroad and could only fly back on Sunday. Although in shock and extremely anxious, we had the peace of mind that Gluino is in great hands. Michelle stayed at Gluino's side up until the moment we arrived as she didn't want to leave him unsupervised. Besides being very skilled at taking care of cats, Michelle is a reliable, loving, caring and sweet person. We didn't have the pleasure to meet her partner Fran, but there is no doubt for us that he is no less of a wonderful human being. He helped her a lot in caring for Gluino during this very difficult time (Fran is allergic to cats and stayed at a rental place in Amsterdam. Still, he came over to the house to help Michelle care for our two cats). After returning home, Michelle would keep in touch to inquire about Gluino. She regularly asked for updates and sent words of encouragement. This meant a lot to us! Thank you for everything, Michelle!

We had the best time with Gus and Hobbes in their beautiful Mt Pleasant home. Individually, the dogs are precious souls that love affection and attention. As a pair they walk in sync and play together well. If Gus took a smell break while on a walk, Hobbes would patiently wait and not get too far ahead of his pal. We could leave for a few hours and return to an enthusiastic welcome.  

Alyssondra left detailed information about the dogs and the home.  The care plan was easy to follow. Communication was adequate and helpful. She and George have created a comfortable and inspiring home with plenty of books and lots of natural elements.  We felt like we were outside while we were inside. We utilized the well-supplied kitchen but also had fun eating out in Mt Pleasant where there is no shortage of restaurants.  The neighborhood streets are lined with coastal cottages, impressive homes, and lovely oaks. Very walkable.  And we found daily Pickleball at a community center just blocks from their home.

We are so appreciative of the opportunity to explore this section of Charleston. Gus and Hobbes stole our hearts. We would not hesitate to return for another sit!
