Melanie looked after our 3 babies so well for the week we were away. After relying on friends for years, (where you were never really sure how often they dropped in or how well they were able to follow instructions), this was our first worry free vacation in years. She fed them according to our instructions, cleaned their litter boxes every day (and any puke!), put calming YouTube cat videos on for them :), she played with them, and sent us videos and pictures with updates of everything each day. If you are ever thinking of using a cat sitter I cannot recommend Melanie enough (we now refer to her as Aunty Mel) and have already planned to book her in a couple of months . Thanks Melanie..you're an angel !!
