Absolutely Reliable Cat Sitting

My partner and I went on a week long vacation & hired Barbara to come by to take care of our two cats while we were away. The entire process was quick, easy, and stress-free. She came by before we left to meet the kitties, which was great. Throughout our trip, Barbara sent videos and picture updates to let us know how the cats were doing & went above + beyond to play with our babies and love on them while we were gone. We very much appreciated knowing our kitties were in good hands throughout the trip. Took a ton of stress off our plates so we could enjoy our vacation without worry. She even swept up cat litter around the box and cleaned the dishes for wet food so our place would be clean when we arrived (totally unexpected but a very kind & thoughtful touch!). 10/10 recommend Barbara for excellent, thoughtful, 100% stress-free, & loving care for your fur babies while you're away!

Thank you, Cait! I loved visiting your kitties -- they are so sweet and playful -- I look forward to the next time you need a cat sitter, and I get to take care of them again!

My wife and myself took a trip away from home, and we hired Barbara(owner of business) to take care of our three cats while we were gone. This business just didn't dump some food into the bowls and leave, she fed the cats, played with the cats, cleaned litter boxes, and even got our mail for us. Barbara texted us videos and messages to let us know the cats were doing great. Three days into our trip, Barbara noticed that one of our cats was having health issues. We were immediately contacted by her, and left it up to us if we wanted her to go to emergency clinic. This was stressful to us, and we were glad that Barbara was very knowledgeable of cats and represented us while we were gone. We did decide to have Barbara bring our cat to emergency. Just the fact that Barbara spends time with the cats, checks on each one, most likely saved our family members life.
I felt our three cats were treated as if they were there own.
I will continue to use this service, and highly recommend to anyone that has cats.

Thank you for the kind words! I'm just grateful that Gracie ended up being OK. It was a stressful situation, but, thankfully, it all worked out! I know they are all happy to have you home :)

We are fairly new to the area and needed a sitter for our 2 cats. We contacted Barbara and she came to our house and met with us. We received photos and updated daily and knew our cats were being well taken care of. Barbara truly cares about the wellbeing of your pets. We are using her again and highly recommend her to everyone.

Barbara at Absolutely Reliable does an excellent job looking after our cats, she is extremely conscientious, detail-oriented, and very personable. She is great at communication, and genuinely takes the health and well-being of the cats to heart. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who is looking for a cat-sitter who actually cares!

Barbara is a truly professional cat sitter...patient, responsive, reliable, caring, and I feel lucky to have found her to take care of my fur babies!

We needed a cat sitter for 3 weeks and chose Barbara over others who wouldn't return my phone calls. Barbara returned all of my phone calls in a timely manner and when we met with her before our vacation it was clear how professional she is about her business. Our cat is quite skitterish but warmed up to Barbara quickly in our pre vacation appointment. We were surprised but quite pleased. During our trip we received emails and pictures of Shadow frequently. Many pictures of Shadow enjoying the sunny window, but to our surprise eventually we received a picture of Shadow on Barbara's lap getting pets. When we first met Barbara she said she lets cats warm up to her on their own time and it certainly worked with our cat! I would highly recommend Barbara for kitty sitting. She was fantastic!!!

Thank you, Glenda! I truly enjoyed every bit of my time with Shadow - she's a wonderful cat, and I feel lucky that I got to cat sit for her - 3 weeks is a long time, but she did great!

Barbara at Absolutely Reliable Cat-Sitting is absolutely amazing. She is professional, conscientious, and knowledgeable about cat behavior and health. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter. She is great!

My cat has a wet food only diet so when I was going out of town I asked my friend to feed him. The night before I was supposed to leave my friend canceled on me and I almost couldn't go on the trip with my family. I found Barbara online and sent her an e-mail late on a Saturday night. To my surprise she answered quickly and showed up early the next morning before I had to leave for directions. She was prompt, knowledgeable, and instantly connected with my cat. She even sent me pictures and e-mails about my cat while I was away to be assured that she was taking good care of him. I came home to a happy cat and I got to enjoy my vacation worry free! I can't recommend her enough and will use her from now on for all of my trips!
