As someone who had to engage a pet sitter for the first time, I was anxious about leaving my cats with another caretaker. Thankfully, getting to know Faith eased my worries. When I first contacted Faith, she arranged a meet-and-greet, which I truly appreciated. She visited my flat to familiarise herself with my cats and their environment. Faith also reassured me by offering tips and advice on ensuring a smooth pet-sitting process while being flexible enough to accommodate my needs and requirements. When it came to pet-sitting, Faith met my expectations. She took excellent care of the cats and their needs, providing up-to-date photographs and videos of them and their food bowls. She also interacted with my cats and left the flat clean. Her visits were regular and consistent around the same time, helping my cats adjust to the temporary routine. Although one of my cats was shy, Faith was patient and made efforts to ensure she ate and was comfortable. Overall, my experience with Faith has been pleasant. I am confident about leaving my cats with her in the future and recommend her to anyone considering hiring a pet sitter for the first time. You can speak with Faith about how you can better support her, and you'll be well on your way to engaging your first pet sitter.

Once again, Reefa has proven to be an exceptional pet sitter! Her efficiency, meticulous attention to detail, and genuine care for Loki and Thor continue to impress us. She goes above and beyond to ensure they are not just well-fed and safe but also happy and comfortable in our absence. Reefa’s easygoing and understanding nature makes it effortless to trust her, and the way she bonds so well with our cats is truly heartwarming. The daily video updates she provides are a huge comfort, allowing us to see how well our fur babies are doing. Recently, we changed their litter box to an open-concept one, and as expected, the tofu litter would scatter around when the boys sprinted out. Without hesitation, Reefa took the initiative to vacuum the area, ensuring everything stayed clean and tidy. This level of dedication and thoughtfulness is truly rare! It’s hard to find someone as reliable, dedicated, and caring as Reefa. We’re incredibly lucky to have her as our pet sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care!
