Emma's Reviews

Trish
This is the second time we’ve used Emma. She really is the best! She sends lots of updates and takes the most beautiful photographs of our cats — seriously, she should consider being a pet photographer! We love her and will continue to book her.

Sienna
Emma is amazing. She is super attentive and dealt with one of my kitties being sick (and cleaning it all up), as well as stopping my other cat from bolting out the front door. She stayed longer to keep an eye on my old guy who wasn’t feeling well, and messaged to let me know. She’s a fairy cat mother, and also takes amazing photos of the kitties while she’s caring for them. I highly recommend Emma!

Rus
We’ve had several great sitters off Meowtel, but Emma got our relatively shy girls to come out of hiding in record time. Everything’s taken care of, and pics of our cats arrive early every day. Could not be happier with the job Emma does… and we get the sense our cats feel the same.

Emma went above and beyond in taking care of our kitty. Shortly before we were scheduled to leave, our cat got sick and had to see the vet. We considered canceling our trip, but Emma assured us that she could dispense any medication and comfort our poor baby. While we were gone, Emma kept excellent communication. She dispensed meds, played and cuddled with kitty, and sent lots of great photos. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip, knowing our cat was in great hands. Emma is a great sitter and highly recommended!

I’ve booked Emma for 2 visits now and I will definitely be requesting her every time I’m out of town! She sends frequent updates and awesome photos (cuddles, play time action shots), which give me ease of mind while I’m away from my babies. My older cat is a super shy guy and he warmed up to her very quickly. My younger, more energetic kitty absolutely adores her and their playtime together. Thank you, Emma!
