We recently started using Michelle (The "Puuurrfect" Sitter - Professional Cat Sitting Services) as out pet sitter and my wife and I think she is top notch! She is very communicative, professional, and most importantly we get the sense that she takes excellent care of our fur kids when we are out of town - something we do not take lightly.
After the initial meet-and-greet, Michele always reaches out the week prior to any trip to confirm the dates and that nothing has changes. Then, on the days she visits (we usually have her come in twice/day as some of our cats need medication every 12 hrs, and we like them getting a little extra attention) she always fires off a text letting us know that she was there and gives us a status update on our animals. This is greatly appreciated and helps us to relax whilst out of town, which is not always easily done when one is worrying about their companion animals.
It is worthy of note that some pet sitters seem to be more well acquainted with dogs, not so many are immediately comfortable with cats however. Michelle is comfortable with them, and this is something they can sense and therefore she is in a better position than most to do more difficult tasks like administer medication to an animal.
In short, I would not and do not hesitate to give Michelle and The "Puuurrfect" Sitter - Professional Cat Sitting Services our heartfelt recommendation to anyone for looking after your own beloved cats - She has been great.
