Susan was a fantastic pet sitter for us. She was flexible in the days that she could come, communicated with us every time she came to our home and took pictures of our cat to let us know that he was doing great. She even went out of her way to pick up some extra food when we ran out. I would recommend her to anyone and we will definitely be using her next time we are out in f town.

Details: Cat • 1 pet • Changing litter or bedding • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • A few times a week • My home, venue, etc.

Susan was terrific. We lost our former cat sitter after 20 years, and Susan had a hard act to follow. She was responsive to our first inquiry and we quickly scheduled a meeting. Her years of caring for pets was obvious in the way she approached the needs of our two cats and in addressing our concerns. One of our two cats is somewhat challenging; Susan knew exactly how to handle any situation. We were very appreciative of her professionalism and responsiveness. We definitely would work with her, again.

Susan won my heart when she asked to meet our out-of-sight kitty. She sent texts and pictures every day she visited and checked in to make sure we got home ok. Happy to have her as our new cat sitter!

Susan did a great job taking care of my kitty Merlin while I was on vacation. I was a bit nervous as I adopted him in April and haven’t left him with anyone before. Susan messaged me daily with updates and pictures of Merlin (I included one of them in this review) and it made me feel much more at ease! I will definitely be using kittycareplus in the future.

Susan was absolutely amazing! I could not have asked for a better person to take care of my pets. Not only did she do what was requested she went above and beyond my requests. She truly made my pets feel safe and at home while we were away. Honestly, if I could give her a 10/5 I would, she's incredible!
