Update on our new cat sitter

This is Benny and Ringo. In mid October, our mom learned that our regular pet sitter had broken her leg quite badly and was out of commission for a long time. We were worried about finding a new sitter for the holidays.



Thankfully, there was a related post about pet sitters in our local Next Door forum. Our dad showed it to our mom, and she contacted one of the companies someone had suggested. They had an interview/meet-and-greet a couple of weeks later.

Benny: I was cool with them right away. They seemed nice.
Ringo: I made an appearance but wasn't sure, but I still kept an eye on them.

Our mom and dad left for a few days around Thanksgiving, and the new sitters took care of us. Our mom said that these are the best sitters we've ever had. They did everything we asked (sadly, our other sitter often forgot to do things, like bring in the newspaper or scoop all of the litter boxes), and even followed up a couple of days later with a text. 

Mom and dad said that they are going to be our permanent cat sitters now, and since they have five people working for their company, if something happens to one of them we can still get cared for. So this ended up being a big WIN for everyone.

We've heard how dicey it can be to find good cat sitters, so it's great that you've found a company that you can trust. Perhaps, when retired, I may think about being a pet-sitter...
