Charla is the world's best cat sitter and an exceptional human. We have booked Charla many times to take care of our cats while we are away. She has always impressed us but this time there are no words for the gratitude my family and I felt for Charla. Our worst nightmare started to unfold while we were in NY. A fire started in the canyon below our house. Charla was following the fire closely and went to our house without any prompting from us. She was on the scene as our neighborhood was given evacuation orders. We are so very thankful to SDFD and everyone who worked diligently and put out the fire before it reached our neighborhood. Charla was sending me constant updates. It was very scary being so far away. I would not have wanted anyone else on the scene making sure our cats were safe. Charla truly cares about animals and will put herself in harms way to protect them. I don't know if there is a better quality for a cat sitter. I am forever grateful for Charla.

Charla is a phenomenal cat sitter. She is a quick learner, clear communicator, thorough and detail oriented, and best of all, the biggest cat lover. She cared for my babies like they were part of her family. When we had a medical issue, she addressed it swiftly and worked with me to come up with a plan to solve it. My cats loved her and she gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I could not recommend her enough.

An absolute perfect sitter and honestly all around good person. How do I know this? Well because even our new, incredibly fearful, rescued from a really bad situation cat loved her (even allowing head scratches)! I think we all know how well this speaks to a person's character. From photos, to communication, to wonderful care Charla is absolutely the best sitter.

I went on a three week vacation, and booked Charla once again to watch my kitty. She is absolutely the best! She noticed that my cat loved an old amazon box in the house, and on her next visit she brought 4-5 boxes for him to play with! Not only that, but she also brought a million toys for him to play with, cycling them daily so he wouldn’t be bored. Additionally, she left cat TV on for him while she was gone, and I saw on my apartment cameras my cat watching TV for hours! He loved it!! She is extremely attentive and caring. My cat never lays in anyone’s lap, yet cuddled with Charla for hours. Honestly, I’m concerned my cat chose a new mom. Don’t hesitate to book Charla, I promise your kitty will love her!

I can't rave about Charla enough. we never worried once about how our cat Mimi was doing because she updated us everyday. our cat is a picky eater and she told hiw much she ate daily, her mood, the little extras she did. Charla even checked if our window was flooding water due to rain (we had that issue last rain). She even left us a toy that she brought over. Communication was always on point. I could give Charla a million stars, Mimi loves her too which is fantastic. Thank you again!

I’m not sure who loves Charla more, me or the cats! She is so great with them. They can be a little finicky, especially around new people and they seemed to enjoy her presence right away. I’ve had the luxury of utilizing her for 3 separate occasions and each time the cats seemed like they were on vacation with her, with all the fun toys, treats and playtime! One of my cats requires an oral medication and Charla was able to give it to her every day without any problems. What a relief to find an experienced pet sitter that is a fun, reliable person with the biggest heart and compassion for cats. We never want to move now that we found our dream cat sitter! Thank you so much!

Charla is an amazing cat sitter! She sends multiple videos and pictures, and cares about my cat Honey as if he was her own. She was very understanding when I had to cancel or add visits, and made sure the litter box is thoroughly cleaned, even cleaning the area around and sweeping up his litter that spilled on the floor. She even stayed longer than scheduled to make sure Honey wasn’t lonely, and played with him the entire time! Her dedication did not go unnoticed, and I am so grateful for Charla. I feel very happy to have booked her for my upcoming 3-week vacation, knowing that my cat is in great hands!

Charla was amazing! Our cat loved her instantly, even though she is normally terrified of strangers. Charla was very communicative, sending daily photos, videos and updates. This was our first time using a pet sitter (we usually have our family come when we are out of town), so I was a bit nervous. But from the moment I met her for the first meet and greet, I instantly knew we were in great hands. She is so kind and experienced, and will take great care of your fur baby. She bonded with our kitty and gave her so much love and attention. Highly, highly recommend- and we will definitely be using her services in the future.

Charla took care of our two cats for nearly two weeks and did a phenomenal job. We were impressed with how well she got along with our cats who are normally shy around strangers. We also loved how quickly she responded and the photos she sent. She also went above and beyond by doing an emergency cat checkin for us outside of the reservation.

Charla did a great job taking care of our cats. She spent a good amount of time with them and sent us videos and photos.

Charla was amazing. You can instantly tell she loves cats and she’s very good at entertaining them. She sent great photos and videos every day. We felt so comfortable knowing that she took great care of our kitties while we were gone. I can honestly say she’s the best cat sitter we’ve ever had!

Charla is the best cat sitter. She is very reliable and thorough with her cat visits. She truly cares for animals. When we come back from our vacation, our two kitties are always so content and well fed. My husband and I joke that the cats miss Charla and her fun extended play time visits. I swear one of my cats was waiting for her to come through the front door the day after we got back.

Charla is a truely amazing cat sitter. You can tell right away she loves cats and respects their individual personalities. I have 2 cats. One of my cats, Nala, is not friendly and barely tolerates her own family. I get nervous leaving her because she is attached to only me and does not warm up to anyone. Charla took extra time letting Nala learn to trust her. She read Nala’s body language very well and by day 3 Nala greeted her at the door excited for morning treats. Charla also sent me many pictures and videos that put me at ease. She communicated very well. I am so happy I found Charla and will definitely be using her next time we travel.

I can’t say enough good things about Charla! From the jump, Charla was an amazing communicator-very detail oriented & thoughtful which put my mind at ease. My cats can be quite shy when meeting new people but she is the exception to this rule! They were eager to play with her and receive affection from her-Blossom even laid in her lap!!! It is evident my girls felt very safe and comfortable in her company and I am so relieved and grateful to have found a sitter I feel I can trust. Plus, she sent so many cute pics and videos! Thank you, Charla!

Charla is a top notch cat and home sitter for us who is without a doubt, the best sitter we’ve ever worked with. We have four cats, two male Burmese 8-year olds (same litter) and two mixed breed rescues from a different litter that are females and a bit younger. Charla has been our sitter twice before when we were out of area for a few days. But this time we would be gone for nine days on the east coast so we were glad she was available to feed and play with our cat family twice a day. And the rains were coming to San Diego, so I was even happier to have Charla close by. Charla is exceptionally capable. She has our medical references for our cats, knows them by name, goes over their meals with us, tends to the litter (no small thing with four cats) and gives us reports morning and evening when she’s in the house. Charla plays with all of our cats on each visit and lets us know how they’re doing. She also sends plenty of pictures during each of her visits, without fail. So we get to see how every one of our cats is doin Charla (phone or text) to stay caught up. Charla is simply one of the best sitters there is: experienced, great with our cats, technically skilled, communicates well, and makes sure we’re in the loop. I can’t think of a more capable individual.

Charla is amazing! She was so gentle and good with our 3 kitties, she played with them and sent lots of pictures and videos with each visit! I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with her and would easily book her again in the future and plan on it! thank you Charla! 🩷

As I’ve written previously (this is No. 4), my wife and I had a wonderful experience with Charla tending to our four cats on this trip — two male Burmese and two female rescues. By this time, all four cats always come running to meet Charla when they hear her voice at the front door. They know her that well! We go through the drill of making sure Charla knows where we keep medical records on all four, how to reach the vet, where we keep the cat carriers, and so on. Information Charla already knows but we go over it because I will always forget. Charla would be comfortable in anyone’s home with cats. We ask her to feed ours twice daily, she checks litter boxes upstairs & down, stays alert for any issues (our male Burmese is a little aggressive) and makes sure all four cats get equal time. AND, Charla brings … toys! We keep plenty of cat toys too, but Charla is the best at playing with our cats. Charla also sends lots of still pictures & video imagery each day so we know how things are going at home. It’s interesting that those stills and video clips are fun to look at, but also give us ideas for playing with our cats when we return. Finally, we sincerely appreciate the time and effort that Charla puts into every visit she makes to our home. Our cats certainly appreciate it; and my wife and I are always confident that we can trust Charla to take care of all four cats and the house while we’re gone.

Charla was amazing! She took the time to let our kitties get to know her and made us feel totally at ease during our meet and greet and she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were gone. We were able to relax during our trip knowing our kitties were well taken care of. We will absolutely reserve with her again!

Charla is our pets' new favorite person! She was super attentive and the cats LOVE HER! I could tell by the pictures and videos that everyone was having fun and well cared for. Charla is warm and personable AND great with pets. Attention to detail, fun, intuitive, super loving and attentive to both the pets and to making us feel secure that our pets were getting excellent care while we were gone. I recommend Charla highly. If 6 stars were possible, she'd get them. We have a new pet sitter for life!

Charla is THE BEST!!! She loves our fur-baby like her own. She is dependable, very detailed communication and keeps a general eye on our home while there. She even went above and beyond for an unexpected situation! I trust no one more than her with our beloved Ziggy!!

Charla has taken excellent care of our 2 kitties several times now. She always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is comfortable for them while we are away. Charla sends a detailed description of her visit with tons of heart warming photos. I am so happy we found Charla. When we travel, I feel confident the cats are in good hands.

Charla is just the best! She has taken care of our kitties a few times now and they are so comfortable with her. She sends lots of fun photos and videos and we feel so comfortable knowing our cats are in good hands. I cannot reccomend Charla enough for the peace of mind she gives us when we are away!

This was our first time using an in-home cat sitter, and Charla made the experience absolutely wonderful. Our cats are true divas and hate car rides, and even staying at a cat resort causes them stress, so being able to keep them comfortable in their own home was a huge relief for everyone involved. From the beginning, Charla's experience and professionalism gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our cats and understood their unique personalities and needs. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing they were safe, happy, and receiving excellent care. We couldn't have asked for a better first experience and would highly recommend Charla to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and professional pet sitter.

Charla is a five star cat sitter for sure! This is the second time we’ve asked Charla to take care of our four cats for several days (long weekend), this time while we were in the Bay Area. Being that far away requires complete confidence in your sitter, which is Charla in every way. Charla does everything right: she follows our feeding plan, cleans the cats’ dishes, plays with each of the four, brings in mail and parcels, keeps the litter boxes clean and the litter area swept, sends us videos and (a lot!) of pics of our cats playing; and checks with us right away if she has a medical question or any other issue with regard to any of our cats. Moreover, I can depend on Charla to keep an eye on the house and the pool, making sure everything is working OK. Charla communicates with us every day during and after each time she’s been to our house, so we always know what’s going on. And it’s evident that Charla is deeply experienced with animals, their needs, and how to take care of them. In summary, Charla is our go-to cat sitter for all extended trips that my wife and I make out of area. I recommend her as very experienced, excellent to work with, and completely dependable.

this was our second time using Charla and she really saved us when we had some issues traveling home. she really goes above and beyond for our kitties and we’re so grateful we found her!!

I just moved to San Diego and had very little time to book a cat sitter before leaving town for a wedding. Charla was very fast to respond and was a quick learner with my two cats. She can read cats well, communicates professionally, and goes above and beyond to ensure me and my cats feel comfortable. She was great at med administration for one of my cats and my shy cat warmed up to her fast (which is rare). I highly recommend Charla for all your pets needs!

Wow, so impressed by Charla! We hit it off right away at our meet and greet. She knows her stuff and I felt my cat was in great hands. Charla kept me updated and sent amazing photos and videos. My cat seemed to like her immensely. I highly recommend her. She goes above and beyond!

I appreciate Charla’s amazing care for my baby. She takes time to play with her and sends the BEST photos and videos

Charla was amazing as always! She always sends the cutest pictures of my two babies and they always are so playful and happy with her.

I can’t say enough about how awesome Charla was! She communicated with us often, and sent really thorough updates the entire time we were gone. One of our cats recently had to be put on insulin injections and we were really nervous about having to have a stranger come in and deal with a shy-Ish cat who was brand new to a needle. Charla truly went above and beyond making sure our cats felt comfortable and safe with her and made sure our cats always got exactly what they needed. We absolutely will be using Charla again!

Charla is the best! We always have peace of mind when she's taking care of the cats. She communicates promptly and is attentive to our cats' needs. With her bag full of toys for the cats, she is truly the "Mary Poppins" of cat sitters. >.<

Charla is the best of the best. She goes above and beyond for my cat and treats him as if he were her own! I moved out of the area for a while and missed her services. Fortunately I moved back and can have Charla take care of my cat again!

As soon as my kitty met Charla, I knew he (and we!) would have a worry-free time away. She is so lovely with both cats and their people. It was a pleasure to have her care for our dear pet!

We have booked Charla several times now. She always goes above and beyond and really spends quality time with our two cats. I really think they look forward to seeing her because she plays so well with them. This is saying a lot because one of our cats hates everyone and she trusts Charla. I highly recommend Charla.

Charla is a superb cat sitter and my wife & I recommend her very highly. Charla is adept at everything, from caring for our mixed group of four adult cats ( 2 Burmese and 2 rescues ) to sending us text updates twice daily on how the 4 are getting along in our absence. Plus, she sends us super pictures and video, too - which is how we know the cats are getting a lot of exercise and play time with Charla. Which is great! I also know Charla will do a super job of keeping the litter clean, bringing in the mail, and in general - making sure the house and our 4 cats are safe while we’re out of town. Last but not least, Charla communicates very, very well. I also can reach her directly at home if needed, which I did when I forgot to tell her where I left the Vet’s contact info! In closing, there are many excellent cat sitters in our area. But Charla, who has worked for us now three times when we had extended, multiple day trips out of area, is our go-to sitter. She’s the best!

Charla was fantastic!! She came by for a meet and greet prior to us leaving town which put us and the cats at ease. She fed the kitties, gave them their favorite treats and sent us pics and videos everyday. We are so happy to have met Charla so we can plan more out of town trips without a worry for our kitties.

Charla definitely is a five star cat and home sitter, with a wealth of experience, is absolutely reliable, and warmly cared for our family of four cats while my wife and I were out of town for four days. Charla took excellent care of everything while we were gone, including her primary responsibility of managing our cats but also retrieving mail and making sure our house and pool were running smoothly while we were gone. Charla was simply terrific: she texted us twice daily, provided pictures and videos of our cats playing, took care of their food, and cleaned their litter daily - exactly as we asked her to at our meet & greet meeting. Turnover at the end was smooth and it was evident the cats liked her. We absolutely will bring Charla back to be our cat sitter in a couple of weeks when my wife and I need to travel again. Charla is the best!

Charla takes an exceptional amount of care with our cats. She pays close attention to them and communicates with us very thoroughly. We always feel very reassured that she is taking good care of them.

Charla is a great catsitter! She made sure our cat was entertained and provided lots of cuddles, updating me with photos and messages each visit. She followed all instructions. Charla really loves cats and it shows. Thanks, Charla!

Charla was fantastic all the way through the whole process. She was on vacation when I started communications with her and she was very responsive from the very beginning. Yolo also seemed to love her and even posed for a few photos. Overall great experience and I just booked Charla again! So happy to have found a great, reliable, and friendly cat - sitter in San Diego! Thank you!

This is the second time Charla has watched our cats and she is absolutely the best! She took such amazing care of our cats, and we always feel total peace of mind knowing they are in the best hands with Charla.❤️

Charla did a great job with our senior diabetic. She was very responsive when scheduling and I would be happy to book her again.

Best cat-sitter there is. Our cats are almost disappointed when we get home.

Charla is simply the best.

Charla goes way above and beyond to look after our cats. She's the best.

We cannot give Charla a high enough rating for her time watching our two boys! Charla was truly exceptional. Our two cats have very different personalities and needs. Charla seamlessly handled the diverse needs of our two cats, understanding and adapting to their own distinct personalities and needs. Her care and attention was evident, making her the perfect choice for our boys. We felt such relief and peace of mind knowing our boys were in such great hands with Charla. We highly recommend Charla for anyone seeking a reliable, understanding, caring and reliable cat sitter. Thank you Charla!

Charla is amazing! She took excellent care of my sweet boy. I’ll be reserving her again this spring. Thank you!
