We used Stinky's for pet sitting a few times to care for our two cats and were very  happy with their service. However, things turned tragic when one of our cats died the last time we used them and we discovered that Stinky's, specifically the owner, Jo-Ann, might be the one responsible. 
Shortly before we used their service for the last time, one of our cats developed diabetes. We contacted Jo-Ann, the owner, to see whether they had someone who could take our cat's blood sugar readings and administer insulin so we could keep using her service during our next vacation. Jo-Ann represented that she was qualified to take readings and give insulin injections. Several days before we left for our trip, she came to our house, and we showed her how to take the readings and how and when to give our cat the shots. On the second day of our trip, the terrible call came from her that our cat was close to death. She rushed him to the hospital and waited there until we told her that our cat would have to stay the night. The vet on call told us that our cat's blood sugar readings were extremely low, and that he appeared to be suffering from an insulin overdose. Chances of recovery were very low, and we had to have him put down. 
We returned to Boston in grief but were grateful to Jo-Ann for her efforts to save him. Then, while going through the diabetes equipment to find the blood sugar readings she had taken while we were away--the equipment records every reading it makes--we found no readings on the equipment from the time of our vacation. As far as we could tell, Jo-Ann had not taken our cat's blood sugar readings before giving him insulin. Such negligence could easily have resulted in an insulin overdose like the one our cat suffered. We contacted Jo-Ann several times to clarify the absence of readings and to give us the readings she had allegedly taken. She responded that the readings were "both 120." She then stopped responding to our (repeated) requests for clarification. We are left with no choice but to believe that she caused our cat's death by injecting him without checking his blood sugar first, lied about it to us, and then refused to answer our questions or provide an explanation for what had happened. 
We absolutely cannot recommend leaving your cat in her care.

She also does pet grooming. I have used her for three years. She is very professional. She comes out and she plays with my cat, feeds the cat. She can water the plants if needed. She has a very good relationship with her and I trust her because she takes care of the cats. I had many others as well but they either didn’t respond well or there was some reason why it didn’t work out.
