I have a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can really trust to look after your pet...

I've had the opportunity to car for many animals of my own and have sat for the same lady many times with her 2 cats. I even adopted her last kitten when she was out of town and couldn't get back in time for the adoption. I've also done some one time care for other families as well.
