Monica has been taking excellent care of our two cats Yala and Zola for 1 week. She was very professional, trustworthy and most importantly compassionate and loving to the cats. Monica send us regular pictures and update and the cats seemed cheerful and content. Especially our quite anxious and nervous cat Zola was relaxed and calm. Monica took care of feeding them, playing with them, kept the litter boxes clean and gave them lots of cuddles. Leaving home can be very stressful, but with Monica, our cats were in good hands and we could really enjoy our time away. I would defenitely have Monica looking after the cats again and I highly recommend her as a pet/house sitter. She is, dependable, experienced, flexible and above all very caring.
