Description of Work: Renee took care of our two cats (two visits per day) while we were away for a week. Both cats are older (one just turned 17) and get a daily medicine.Renee has a way with cats, and our two were very well cared for. She sent a couple of email updates to reassure us. Excellent service.

Description of Work: Price reported is for a week of service. | |We've been using Sandra for years to watch our cats, and she is AMAZING. I couldn't think of a single thing she could do better to assure us that our pets are in awesome hands while we're traveling. She leaves daily reports of how each visit went, she takes care of any minor things around the house (water plants, get mail, put out trashcans, etc.). I can't recommend her highly enough.

I was extremely happy with the services - the professionalism, friendliness, care and time was much more than I expected! I will definitely be calling Sandra back in the future.
Description of Work: Sandra looked after my two cats for 3 days over the Thanksgiving holiday, and fed them, played with them (laser and other toys), cleaned their litter and refilled their water bowls. She came in for an initial consultation prior to my trip, where she was very professional, took her time to get to know the kitties and she made me feel very comfortable since I could tell that she loved cats and knew a lot about them. She said I could call her anytime during my time away to get an update - so I did just that and she was wonderful and enthusiastic about the cats and she really tries to form a bond with them. One of my cats was already comfortable with her during the consultation, and the other one was cuddly by the time Sandra made her first visit. When I got back from my trip, she had written a detailed summary of all three days, which is fun to come back to as an owner. If needed, her services also offer taking in the mail, watering plants, etc, which is an added plus. The key swap is also very easy - I just gave them to her during the initial consultation, and she mailed them back to me.

She arrived every day for awhile and spent time with my pets. She was very trustworthy and my pets were comfortable with her as well. She journaled her experiences each day including their schedules, feedings and companionship. She was available by phone so I could also check in with her if I wanted to. She is a very good person and I highly recommend her.
Description of Work: I use to use her services when I previously traveled on a regular basis. She is wonderful.

It went very well each time we used her services!
Description of Work: Sandra Ling of Home Sweet Home Cat Sitting has been providing cat sitting for us for several years now. Each time we leave town, we feel confident that our home and cats will be in good hands. She even waters our tomatoes! Once, we ran out of food, and Sandra went to PetSmart to get the proper brand for our cats' diets. Sandra clearly has a deep love of animals, and her detailed notes left after each visit show this. We trust her completely to care for our 3 cats and our home while we are away.

Whole process couldn't have been smoother, she was professional and most importantly cared a great deal for our cats. The notes she left after each visit really let us know that our cats were well taken care of - the cats didn't even seem excited to see us when we came home! We will most definitely use Sandra in the future, she was just amazing!
Description of Work: Sandra took care of our two cats while we were visiting family for two weeks. She came by once a day and left very detailed notes about how the cats were at each visit.

GREAT!! Sandra is wonderful!!
Description of Work: Sandra Ling of Home Sweet Home has been our cat sitter for several years and we remain delighted with her services! She clearly loves cats and always goes out of her way to care for our pets as well as our home when we are traveling. We trust her fully and are only disappointed when she is too booked up to take care of our cats! She refers us to another qualified pet sitter when she cannot take the job, which we appreciate.

Sandra is so wonderful. I first hired her last year and posted a report at that time. This is an update to that report. Sandra had all of my information saved and still had a key to my house. Arranging to have her visit was as easy as sending an email. I did also call her shortly before the trip, just because I like to hear her actually tell me she'll be there. (This is my baby after all). The first day of my trip, Sandra sent me a text picture of my cat sitting in the sunroom enjoying her visit. (I had asked her to let me know she arrived the first day - I once had a friend forget to look in on him when I was out of town). This is very amazing. If you read my post about Nicky from last year, you'll see that he usually hides from everyone, but was again comfortable with her before the end of the first visit. I didn't feel any stress leaving Nicky for a week with Sandra looking after him. The detailed notes she leaves about each visit are very special and lets you see how your pet was doing each day you were gone. I can't recommend Sandra highly enough.
Description of Work: Came to my house and took care of my cat for 8 days. Fed, cleaned out litter box, brought in newspaper, visited with him and kept detailed notes of how the visits went.

We couldn't be happier with Sandra's services. From our very first contact with her, she was professional and friendly, answering all of our questions fully and responding to emails or phone calls quickly. During her initial consultation before our trip, we were impressed with her thoroughness-- she had a checklist of things to go through with us to make sure she knew all about our cats' likes and dislikes, and she seemed genuinely interested in getting to know our cats as well as she could during the initial visit. One of our cats is EXTREMELY shy around strangers, and Sandra was petting her within about ten minutes. We were shocked; she has never taken to a stranger so readily before. I would not hesitate to use Sandra again-- in-home care is so much less stressful for pets than boarding, and the price and level of service couldn't be beat; we would have paid probably 50% more to put them up at a kennel with only a fraction of the personal attention Sandra gave them.
Description of Work: Fed and watered cats daily, played with cats, brought mail in, watered plants, left detailed diary of cats' activities during visit.

Sandra is terrific! Nick is afraid of people he doesn't know and it usually takes him a long, long time to be comfortable with them. Even if they are coming to feed him when I'm out of town. I could tell when she came to meet us that he would be OK with her, and he was. He usually hides from anyone coming into the house, and he needs long exposure over many visits to get comfortable with someone. Not with Sandra! On her first visit to care for Nick she got him to come out and even play with her. She said he didn't hide during any other visit, and even waited for her by the front door - and I believe her. I could just tell when I introduced them that he would warm up to her pretty quickly. I am extremely happy with the service Sandra provided and will definitely call her the next time I'm out of town. It feels really good to have someone you can trust take care of your baby and your home.
Description of Work: Sandra looked after my cat, Nick, while I was on vacation for 8 days. She fed him, changed his water, and cleaned his litter box. She also watered numerous potted plants outside. It turned out the to be hottest week of the year and she kept my plants alive. She also brought in my mail and newspapers and had them neatly organized on my kitchen counter. Detailed notes of each of her visits with Nick were left for me so I would know how things went.

Before we left, Sandra came to our house to meet our cat and bird. Our bird can at times become noisy and aggressive around strangers. But, with Sandra, he was quite the little gentleman. Our new cat was also very friendly and playful with her. During her first visit, she also made sure that she would have all the information she would need while we were gone including vet and emergency contact information. While we were out of town, Sandra called to let us know how things were going. She also left us a daily journal describing how our pets were doing, including what they were eating, what mood(s) they were in and how they interacted with her. Sandra seems to have a natural gift for working with animals and for making them feel relaxed even when the humans are away.
Description of Work: Sandra visited our house every day for a week to take care of our parrot and recently adopted cat. She also brought in the mail and watered the plants.

She's simply the best.
Description of Work: Sandra has been walking my dogs and feeding them lunch about three times per week for about 6 months now. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my dogs. She always shows up when she says she will, provides reliable back-up when she can't make it, leaves a report on each walk, and just does a great job with the dogs. I feel that they are safe in her hands, and I don't worry about her having a key to my house. I never worry that I'll come home and find that she left a door unlocked. Everything is in its place when I get home, and she always leaves things a little neater than she found them. When I need to change my schedule, she's been great about changing to adjust to what I've needed. When she stopped by to meet the pets, I was impressed by how well she handled the dogs, and my pets look forward to her visits.

Home Sweet Home Cat Sitting provides exceptional 1-on-1 care for my cats. Sandra seems to "speak cat" and knows just what each one wants and needs. She leaves me wonderful reports about what they did together and what games they played. I always feel secure when I leave home and know that Sandra is caring for my home and for my cats.

For 3 years Sandra provided wonderful care for my two cats. I sometimes think they were disappointed when I returned home. She took time to play with and really get to know them, commenting on Meg's happy sommersaults and Missy's propensity to bat at you if you aren't quick enough on dishing out the foot. I enjoyed reading her detailed notes of their behaviors and moods each day. They enjoyed the small gifts she would leave for them. I'm so sorry I now live outside her service area!
