We loved Edie even before she began sitting for our four kitties. She had already read up on our kitties and our home before she even arrived for the initial meeting and was very diligent about every detail. Edie, upon her own initiative, even came over an extra day before the sitting time began so that she could double check that she understood everything before the sitting event began. While she was learning about our home, our cats began interacting with her, so we had zero qualms about leaving them in her capable hands. In fact, we were very much looking forward to it! While we were away, Edie would let us know how the cats were bonding with her, and would send us pics. We especially loved the last one captioned 'nap time', which showed them all snuggled up to her on the couch! Very cute. Edie exceeded all of our already high expectations. Every one of our four kitties bonded with her very well. She was like Mary Poppins for them, brought them toys and a big cat mint plant, all of which she left for them, and they're still having a great time with them. Frisky especially loves the cat mint! We changed our plans twice, first extending our trip for several days, and Edie accommodated us. And second, when we had to end our trip abruptly early, she also graciously accommodated our last-minute early return too. We returned to cats who seemed disappointed that it was us instead of Edie walking through the door when we arrived, which we thought was hysterical. They were all very happy and well cared for. Edie left our home in immaculate condition, and we even came home to a gift from her of delicious homemade Zucchini Nut Bread. Even our plants seemed to thrive while we were away. Before leaving our home, Edie texted us everything that she thought went smoothly and not as smoothly, so full disclosure from her, no surprises. Very much appreciated her full report. We hope that we'll be lucky enough to reserve Edie again in the future. Clearly, she is a cat lover!

Cathy was great!  She stayed in touch with updates and photos.  Because Ivan is a 19 yo cat, she was able to give me her veterinarian opinion of his health, which was reassuring.
She was careful to follow Covid guidelines. The house was clean and tidy, laundry done and bed made upon our return.

Our stay was better than expected.  Sterling thought of everything, giving us clear instructions, a comfortable environment and access to the amenities of the community.  He communicated with us before, during and after the sit.  The two cats are smart, well behaved and unusually beautiful.  They were entertaining to watch and warmed up to us right away.  The home itself is well appointed, clean and comfortable.  It is in a quiet gated community that is well maintained and secure.  We felt like we were on vacation and would recommend this sit to anyone who appreciates cats and values a safe, clean and relaxing atmosphere.

Gale and Howard welcomed us into their home and we instantly felt comfortable. The welcome guide was comprehensive and covered everything we needed. They went out of their way to ensure we could enjoy the amenities of their community. Harry and Ford have unique personalities and are fun to care for and easy to love. 
We were sad to say goodbye to them. We would happy to go back and care for them again.  Thank you for allowing us into your lives.
