Paula is a great cat sitter. She is really friendly, she sends pictures or videos every day and the communication works really good. She was cat sitting my two cats for a week and I would take her again as a cat sitter, when the occasion comes, and I would recommend her to anyone.

Lavinia is a wonderful cat sitter. She took care of my Pebbles for 8 days, which is quite long for a first time, but no worries Lavinia is great. My cat needs a bit more attention than a regular cat I guess, since she is a solo cat. Lavinia did spent a lot of time with her, so she didn't feel so alone. She entertained her and was willing to go an extra mile to make her happy. Pebbles did miss us, but she was her usual self within a day after we come back. This is the best compliment she can make. Pebbles is very sensitive and we can easily make out, if she's not feeling so great. So if you are looking for an amazing cat sitter, search no further, with Lavinia you found the right one!
