Dawn is a really warm, friendly and thoughtful person who made us feel at ease straight away, asking all the right questions and showing lots of interest in our cat Flip-Flop! Dawn is obviously very experienced with cats - we felt very confident leaving flip-flop in her care and she reported back to us that he was eating well and enjoying her company. Came back to an absolutely sparkling clean house as well - which was really lovely - don't hesitate to have Dawn as your sitter!
This sit did not go well for me as I had some unforeseen problems come up during my trip, but Jessie was a model of flexibility and patience. To start off with, between the time I confirmed Jessie and the actual sit, one of my foster cats developed an ear infection along with a hematoma and had to have surgery. I contacted Jessie to let her know she would have to administer ear drops and pills. She took it in her stride and assured me it was not a problem. Then I advised her that I would be returning home a week early which she accepted graciously. Jessie took excellent care of both cats and my house was as I had left it. Thank you so much Jessie for your professionalism!
