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!

Our two kitties adore Rebecca and Bob who have sat for us numerous times. For this visit, they even brought toys for the girls! We hope they will return again and again to care for our home and cats. Thanks to both of you for giving us the chance to experience complete trust that our home and pets will be taken care of while we are gone.

Casey was incredible! We were lucky enough to coordinate a meet-and-greet beforehand and we’ve never seen Kona fall in love with someone so quickly. Caught us by surprise since she’s generally more cautious around men. Instant connection! 

Prior to and during the sit, Casey communicated well. He kept us updated and provided photos during his stay. Neat and organized, would gladly welcome him back into our home any time he’s back in Seattle again!

Robert and his wife Rhonda are a lovely couple who I felt very comfortable entrusting the care of my home and kitties to. I was fortunate to be able to meet them in person prior to the start of their sit and they clearly are experienced cat people (they have two cats of their own) which I could tell by the questions they asked. I returned home to a neat and tidy house and happy cats. I would be happy to have them sit for me again and highly recommend them to others looking for a reliable, responsible couple who will provide good care for your pets.

Hannah and her two fur boys provided a wonderful home for almost a week. The first 24 hours were a bit stressful because Tiny Timmy ( kitten) decided to stay in hiding for longer than we expected. As it was his first experience with a sitter, I could hardly blame him.  He made up for this though by gradually becoming bolder and more affectionate by the day.  Hannah’s home is also in a great neighborhood and is well appointed with everything needed for a comfortable stay. I spent many evening s reading on the rooftop and was pleasantly surprised by the independence of both cats after we settled into a routine. 

I would highly recommend this listing and I look forward to returning again soon.
