Danielle is very easy going and obviously a cat person with two cats of her own. We also prepared some caretaking notes about Shun Shun to assist Danielle so she could get a good understanding about Shun Shun’s needs.
Danielle is a superb cat sitter. She is very generous with her time and looked after Shun Shun very well indeed. For 32 days from 16 May to 16 June, Danielle came over daily to prepare Shun Shun’s heated food bowls, replenished fresh water, cleaned after her litter, fed her medications. Danielle went beyond her call by cleaning up Shun Shun’s occasional vomits and handwashed soiled pillow case and linen. Danielle would send us regular updates with videos and photos of Shun Shun. I was delighted to watch those videos of Shun Shun cosying up with Danielle. Poor cat, she was not used to being home by herself, she must have felt lonely and very much looked forward to Danielle’s daily visits.
Danielle deserves a 5-star grading for her services (if 5-star is the highest). I would highly recommend Danielle to any pet lover who wants their pets to be well looked after while you are away. Danielle would look after your pets the way she looks after her own. Thank you very much Danielle for your love and companionship to Shun Shun. I will look out for you again to look after Shun Shun whenever I am out of town.
*PS: Shun Shun is my sister (Vicky's cat, and she was away for a month). So the cat sitting was done in NZ and only one cat.

CHighly recommended cat sitter!
Kelly took wonderful care of our cat, Butter, during the Matariki week. She visited him every day and treated him like a valued member of the family. She made sure he was well-fed, comfortable, and happy, spent time playing with him, and took care of all the necessary cleaning and daily tasks.
One thing we particularly appreciated was the daily updates and photos she sent us. It gave us great peace of mind to see Butter relaxed and well cared for while we were away. It didn't take long for him to recognise Kelly as someone safe and trustworthy, which says a lot about her gentle and caring approach with cats.
Kelly clearly has an excellent understanding of cat behaviour and is very attentive to their needs. She knows how to spot when something might need attention and always ensures cats feel secure and comfortable.
This is the second time we have trusted Kelly to care for Butter, and once again we have been absolutely delighted with her service. She is kind, reliable, professional, and someone we trust completely with this very important member of our family.
We would not hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone looking for an exceptional cat sitter.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 without hesitation!
