dory is fantastic! happy cats and she cares for our house the way we do. ❤️🙏

we have 2 senior rescue lady Katz’; a tortie with tortitude, and a diluted tortie who is shy and hasn’t had the easiest time in her life. Our girls have separation anxiety big time, traveling has been unnerving for us to even consider. That was until we met Dory, who has become part of our family. Dory has fantastic energy, is a natural cat whisperer, offers love, face scratches when our girls demand it, and feeds them a purrfect meal each time (our larger gal tells us in her videos that she approves!). Dory enabled us to comfortably book vacations and travel again, and when we return our home is tidier than when we left it. Our previously panicked cats are almost disappointed to have their boring cat-rents back. You can feel confident that if Dory cares for your kitty /kitties, they will be in the very best, caring, cat a riffic, trusting, and safest hands. It should be noted that your own cat pix and videos will be quickly may need replacing…because in addition to her purrfect reports, care, and love for the cats, her ability to video and photograph cats puts the 1500 pix of ours to complete shame; her photos and videos are picture purrfect. Meowtel only allows 5 stars but she’s a 10!

I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dory!! My girl has medication requirements as well as specific feeding amounts and times due to her recent bout of pancreatitis. Dory did an AMAZING job! She was fantastic with updates, sent a ton of photos, which I appreciated because I am such a worry wart when it comes to my kitty. My cat did great and warmed up to Dory quickly. Aoife was in great spirits when I came home which was a sign she was very well taken care of! I was able to actually enjoy my birthday trip because of how well Dory communicated from the get go. THANK YOU SO MUCH DORY!! You are the best! I will absolutely book with Dory for my next trip in August.

Dory was amazing! our cats were so content and well cared for. I couldn’t be happier. conscientious and creative caretaker

Dory was amazing - 10/10. She was responsive, followed instructions, got my super shy kitties to come out, and sent great updates and photos/video. So glad I trusted her with my kitties.

dory was excellent. on top of it with great updates and cat charming that left our three very happy. did they even miss me while I was gone???

We have 2 senior rescue lady cats & 1 is aloof. She’s a territory and attention hog, and perpetually abusive (alpha) to the other. We are always nervous about being away even with a stay over sitter. The kitty who is constantly getting attacked, is skittish, scared of people, and when we return from a trip she’s glued to us, for days. Here’s why this is important for anyone reading this comment: Dory is a cat whisperer, had both of our cats literally eating out of her hands, sleeping in the same room, she sends amazing updates, pix and videos, is communicative without having to ask, she’s attentive, she cleaned up (like really cleaned up) and is so great to work with our cats are still waiting by the door for her 😻, she’s their new fur-ever aunt. love her! Dory is trustworthy, thoughtful, empathetic, so caring, And introduced our girls to their new “favorite channel on tv” the cat channel 🐾🫶🏽🐾 Dory is a special and warm human, & such an absolute delight that we will schedule our next trip around her availability in 2025.

This was my 3rd time booking Dory for taking care of my furry baby. I guess that says it all! Dory was excellent as always and will be my go-to cat sitter for as long as possible!

I can't say enough good things about Dory! She takes care of my cats like they are her own. She really goes above and beyond for my boys, whether it's bladder expressions & butt baths for my urinary incontinent kitty, or it's extra playtime and treats for the other two. I have tremendous peace of mind when I'm away, and I can't thank her enough for how well she cares for my boys (and communicates with me!). You'll see at least several other reviews from me for Dory -- there's a reason I keep coming back! :)

Dory is an amazing cat sitter! My cat is a little shy but Dory has really managed to get her out of her shell. Dory feeds her, gives her plenty of play time and lots and lots of love. I never have to worry about Nyla when I’m going because I know Dory’s totally got it under control! She’s great with directions and gives regular updates with pictures and everything. She’s already by go-to cat sitter and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, sweet and thoughtful sitter for their feline babies!

Dory truly went above and beyond caring for my senior kitty. My biggest concern was making sure he ate all of his food, as he tends not to finish his meal without the right mixture of treats/toppers. Dory worked her magic and got him to lick his bowl clean by the end. Her updates were always so detailed, letting me know how they were getting on, and how he was eating, along with photos of the beautiful bowls of food she was making for him. I can tell she cared about emotionally connecting with my fur baby in addition to caring for his physical needs. She is every pet parents dream sitter I can't thank her enough!

As always, Dory took amazing care of my special needs kitties!! I can’t thank her enough for giving me peace of mind while I’m away from my boys 🙂🙏🐱🐱🐱

Dory is always the best with Famcy and Caesar.

Dory always is amazing with my two cats!

Dory stayed overnight with our two cats for five nights, including a holiday. She did great! Our cats eat different food at different times, and one is a kitten while the other is 10 years old, so the instructions for feeding and who sleeps where were complicated--and Dory kept track of it all. She played with them and sent detailed text updates and photos in the morning and evening. We were so grateful that our felines had such a loving human in the house more than half the time we were gone!

WOW!!! Dory did SUCH an amazing job taking care of my 3 special needs cats! I couldn’t give a more enthusiastic recommendation, and she’ll be my go-to cat caretaker going forward. Dory took care of my 3 special needs cats 3x/day for 9 days. 2 of my cats require manual bladder expressions every 8 hours, and there’s a host of other meds. I usually find traveling very stressful. Dory did a terrific job of taking care of my cats timely (for almost 30 visits!), communicating this to me very smoothly, and really putting me at ease. Dory really went above and beyond, and most importantly, I felt that Dory took care of my cats as if they were her own. I’ve never had a sitter who loved them like I do, and I really appreciate everything Dory has done for all of us. Thank you so much, Dory, and I’d be super happy to serve as a reference if anyone would ever like one :)

Rory did fantastic! her attention to details in communication and taking care of our two cats was incredible.

Dory has done it again! I entrusted my cat’s care for a second time in her very caring and competent hands and came back to a happy cat. Dory is very detail oriented, patient, gentle and treats my cat as if her own. I loved her daily photo and video updates. She’s incredibly reliable, punctual and flexible when needed. We are so grateful to her and lucky to have found her!

Dory was fantastic. She kept us updated with adorable videos of her playing with our cat, Raleigh. We plan on requesting her for our next travel dates

Communication with Dory when setting up the reservation was clear, and she did a great job giving our fragile elderly kitty all his meds. Our daughter was thrilled with all the photos that Dory sent. We have already scheduled Dory again!

Dory is amazing! Not only is she highly reliable and thorough, she is conscientious and cares a lot about her level of service. This is very hard to come by and she’s a gem! My cat came out of her shell almost immediately and was pampered more than usual—I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep up with the level of care Dory provided! I trust Dory to take excellent care of my fur baby and actually thrilled I found her!

Dory was fantastic! She sent me daily video and photo updates, and went above and beyond my expectations. Abby was in a calm and happy mood when I came back, I could tell they got along very well. It's clear that Dory loves cats, will definitely book her again.

This was my second time working with Dory and she provided excellent care of my little furry boy. At this time I had a little bit longer trip and I went with absolutely no worries. My cat was already familiar with with Dory. She is always very communicative and thorough, sending pictures and videos. I trust her and know my little furry boy is in the very best hands.

Dory is definitely a 5 🌟! Above and beyond taking care of my cat. She sent me daily photos and videos and although my cat is a little shy with strangers, he quickly got comfortable playing and even for a belly rub. Made my trip stress-free through timely and thoughtful communication. Highly recommended! Thank you, Dory!
