LI booked Agnes to look after my three cats while I was away for an 8-day vacation. She dropped in once a day to look after my cats. Her communication was awesome. I received daily updates, pics and videos of my cats. She fed them wet food and treats, brushed and cuddled them and even had play time with them. In addition, she cleaned the litter boxes daily, checked the mail and put out the garbage and it appears that she also swept because my house was spotless when I returned home. I was so happy with the care she provided. My scaredy-cat who always hides when anyone new visits, was out from hiding, eating Churu treats right from the tube, accepting brushing and engaging in the daily playtime. This is truly amazing. I highly recommend Agnes to look after your pets. I have had other pet sitters that I considered to be great but Agnes truly goes above and beyond and I will definitely be booking her for my next vacation. Thanks again Agnes for all the care you provided. It gave me peace of mind to know that my cats were being well taken care of and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation time.

OPhilippe is the greatest cat sitter you could ever find in Richmond. He took care of Manchita, my 12 years old cat, while I was out of the country. He was kind enough to make a pre-visit to meet me and my cat and to ensure he got all special instructions regarding the care of Manchita; she needs medication for her chronical diseases.
Additionally, Philippe shared daily updates including pictures and videos of Manchita so I was sure she was doing well. Philippe made sure Manchita got fresh food everyday and cleaned the sand box properly. He even went an extra mile and spent some quality time petting Manchita.
Also, Philippe made sure to clean Manchita's food recipients and the areas where she usually eats. This was super helpful so I didn't have to take care of immediately cleaning after my return.
I would recommend Philippe to anyone who is looking for a great quality cat sitter service. Philippe loves animals so rest assured he will treat your pet as his own.
