I recently had the pleasure of having Natali as a cat sitter for my 20 year old cat, Sophie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Natali was warm, caring, and incredibly loving, truly going above and beyond caring for my cat while away. Her genuine passion for pets is evident in the way she treats them as her own, prioritising both the owners and their beloved animals. Upon returning after four days, I found Sophie so happy and content, it was as if I had never left. Natali showered her with love and attention, ensuring she felt secure and cherished in my absence. The daily updates, complete with pictures and videos, were a wonderful touch that put my mind at ease, knowing Sophie was in such capable and caring hands. This was my first time ever using a pet sitter for Sophie, who, despite her age, has no medical conditions. Natali's exceptional care and dedication made the experience seamless and stress free. I will definitely use her services again in the future without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. A massive THANK YOU, Natali, for all the love and care you gave to Sophie! Your exceptional care and love made all the difference.

I recently had the pleasure of having Caitlin as my pet sitter, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Caitlin took exceptional care of my cat, and her attention to detail was evident in every aspect of her service. Not only did Caitlin ensure my cat was well-fed and happy, but she also provided regular online updates that gave me complete peace of mind. The updates included wonderful photos of my cat, capturing her personality beautifully and showing just how comfortable and content she was. Caitlin's professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her an outstanding pet sitter. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch pet care. Thank you, Caitlin, for taking such great care of my fur balls!
