Lindsay was absolutely amazing as a house and cat sitter! Very easy to communicate with and very thorough when asking questions. She took great care of my cat, Ember, and left the house very clean. She was also really good about sending photos and videos to make sure I didn't miss him too much while I was gone. It really put my mind at ease having her here while I was gone for 2 weeks :)
I’ve been meaning to rave about this guy for awhile now! Oscar took care of my 2 kittens (ages 7 months) for the full month of December. If you don’t already know what little terrors 7 month old cats can be, let me enlighten you: although adorable and perfect, they are insane. Especially my 2 rescues. He was gracious, attentive, played with and cuddled them every day and was on top of not only their food but their behavior (by helping them learn not to go on the counters for example). He even sent me photos regularly. Unfortunately for Oscar, a neighbor of mine lost his job that month and decided to stay home chain smoking all day, and was quite indignant, which was awful for us both. Oscar endured it in order to take care of my cats. Although I would never suggest putting him through that ever again, I was very impressed at his care for my kittens, instead of abandoning ship as so many may have done. You can tell he really cares about animals. He also left the apartment in great shape! Testament to his past ownership of a cleaning business I suppose. Thank you again Oscar! With your nurturing demeanor with animals, maturity and kindness, it’s clear why you’re one of the best choices out there!
