Shawn and Jennifer were the perfect pet sitters! We could not have wished for better people to look after Salt and Pepa! Not only were they meticulous in keeping up the cat`s routines, nurturing S&P`s idiosyncracies, and keeping them clean, fed, and happy in general, but they went above and beyond finding out what else they could want or need in a truly empathetic way. Shawn and Jen taught them new tricks, played with them often, stayed in with them most of the time and observed them and their characters so well, that it seemed after only a few days like they have known - and loved! - the cats for some time. Before we knew these sympathetic brilliant sitters with heart, brains, and instinct we were nervous about leaving our not even 2 year old cats with strangers for more than a month, especially since Salt can be a fragile soul who is very shy and needs a lot of time to bond with people if she does it at all. Not with these two people. They know how to handle cats professionally. Instead of overwhelming them, Shawn is present and offers them attention and playtime. We were able to fully enjoy our time away from home since they were communicating extremely well and in the frequency we agreed on. So we got pictures or videos of S&P every day and reports. The reports as well as the pics showed us that S&P had an extremely good time, and that after only a few days they behaved completely "normal", i.e. we recognized "our" cats from the way that Jen described them and photographed them. Shawn and Jen are both extremely reliable, down-to-earth and self-sufficient. IF there would have been an emergency, we could not have asked for better guardians. The welfare of the cats was always their first concern. What more can we say but that they are also very friendly, humorous, calm and intelligent human beings. When we came home S&P were like: "Oh.. you..? Ok.. But were are the other two?" In our living room was a carefully arranged series of printed out photographs by Jen the excellent photographer. We are so very thankful to Shawn and Jen that they agreed to look after our kitties - and our home, which they also did without fail - and we are truly happy to have made their acquaintance. Hopefully, we will meet again!

I'm quite sure that our corgi, Augie, likes Kathy more than he likes us, because she is so attentive and loving to him! Kathy is extremely neat, reliable, independent and is also a great communicator. The guest room sheets had been washed and placed back onto the bed when we returned and the towels had also been washed. Kathy even left some food for us to eat in the refrigerator, in case we didn't have dinner planned (and of course we didn't have dinner planned)! Kathy is simply the best!!

Meghan and her daughter were wonderful guests of my home, and great caretakers of my kitties and gardens. I unfortunately didn't get to meet them in person, but I felt very comfortable and trusting with them there at the home. Meghan sent me photos of the cats, read through my very thorough instructions, asked great clarifying questions, took care of new plants that I had transplanted outdoors, and even dealt with a strange door mishap in a very calm way! The kitties seemed happy and content when I got home. And the house was even cleaner than how I had left it! Would absolutely recommend Meghan to anyone looking for an attentive, kind and compassionate sitter!
