I know Emily is a great cat sitter because my cats are happy when I return -- instead of anxious and mad at me for leaving them. She sends frequent updates and great pictures. We will continue to use Emily's services.

Emily is probably the only reason I felt confident enough to book international travel, taking me away from my cat for the longest we’ve ever been apart. Emily for this long stay, as with our other shorter stays with Emily, is amazingly detailed in taking care of your cat. if you mention something to Emily during your meet and greet she will 100% remember it and note it each and everytime. (for example, I got new litter and it is the type that tells you about the health of your cat, Emily kept me up to date about if my cat was using it, health readings, and his preferences for litter boxes). Emily also makes suggestions based on her professional cat experience. She can suggest new ways to play with the cat to keep them entertained or different stimuli for the cat while you’re away (like TV on during the day but off at night). Emily is respectful of your home and most importantly your cat. She is total professional and I fear the day she is booked months in advance because she’s that good.

Emily was well loved and trusted by my cat and that’s the greatest outcome and relief of the entire trip! but for more details: Emily was helpful at the meet & greet. She was flexible with my schedule, asked good questions, she was respectful of our home and house rules, and was kind and patient with my cat Henry. During our trip Emily was extremely responsive, punctual, and most importantly like a cat-whisperer throughout my entire time with Meowtel. My cat hasn’t met a lot of new people and especially isn’t used to strangers in the home without me there but by the 2nd or 3rd day he was running to the door to greet Emily just as he would run to greet me! Emily gave great, quick updates on each stay. (What she saw, what she did, any particulars or one offs that occurred, and adorable pictures!) As an aside, Emily was also great with me being the nervous cat parent that I was. I was so anxious and sad about traveling without my cat and leaving him alone but Emily was patient with me and all of my requests and questions throughout the preparation for the stay! I’m so relieved to have a reliable, professional, and kind cat-sitter for our cat here in Virginia now!

Went great 😊 as always!!! We book her every time we have a trip , we leave pretty often and she is available and picks up the reservation quickly. Emily is very responsive and sends the best pictures of our Stout😻I already forgot how many times we have booked Emily 😂 She’s just so awesome !!! Our Stout (furbaby) loves her so much ❤️We’re very happy and trust her completely,we will continue to book her every time . Note: This last time we booked her, she double checked and asked me to see if that was all the days we needed. We actually needed one more but her schedule was closed that day. She was SO Sweet and opened a slot of time in the day for us! She was so cool about it and said we can ask anytime and she can double check 👍We so appreciated her going the extra mile . It saved us the stress & worry of trying to book someone else .. 🙀 Thank you Thank you 😊 Anyways… book Emily 😸 Even if your cat is timid, shy and doesn’t like anyone… they will like Emily “the cat whisper” lol.

I couldn't be more pleased and happy with the services of Emily during her two weeks caring for my cat Buddy! She is the epitome of cat sitting. Responsible, kind, and compassionate. Not only did she fulfill her duties of one 15 minute visit per day but she went that extra step to send me a personalized message and picture of Buddy every day assuring me that all was going well. Her personalized touch helped ease any concerns of being away from my cat and that knowledge alone made vacation all that much more relaxing. I HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. She is the BEST!

It was such a pleasure working with Emily. From the meet and greet I could tell she loves kitties and taking care of them. During her visits she followed up with pictures and everything my kitty was doing like playtime, eating and hanging out. My kitty liked having her around, she was very patient and kind with him. I will recommend her services to another kitty lover parent.

This is my second time using Emily for a 4-day trip. Emily is patient and earns the trust of a cat remarkably quickly. She meets each cat at their level of comfort. Like her profile says, she treats cats at the individuals that they are. My cat listens for certain queues for playtime, treats, food, and birds. Emily was sure to use all the vernacular my cat was already familiar with in addition to always speaking to him in the most calming and respectful tones. Emily is super respectful of the house, which is also a big plus.

Thank you for taking care of our fur baby!! You did an amazing job. Emily is truly a cat whisperer! My fur baby Stout is a timid, shy, and skittish cat. Emily quietly got to his floor level and allowed him to come to her on his own terms. Emily was very good at understanding his need to connect how he likes. Soon enough, my stouts got on the floor and showed his belly and got all smitten with her! I was very impressed and relieved that they made a connection so fast 💨 Emily even cleaned a little and it was a very sweet thing to do, we appreciated it. We booked her right away again for this month and our Stout is excited to see her again! P.S. He misses her a lot and we loved how she sent us pictures every time 💓

Was nervous about leaving the cats for an extended holiday, but Emily was great. Sent pictures each day that captured their personalities, and she was very gracious about their less than perfect behavior. She was very responsive and helpful while setting up the reservation and throughout the trip.

Emily was fantastic in looking after my cat for two weeks! He requires some special handling so as to protect the handler from injury and she was perfect in communicating potential triggers and his behavior while I was gone. I would trust Emily implicitly with my cat again on any trip.

Emily was awesome. My orange cat is really scared of new people and he had no issues with her. In fact, he really liked her. Both of my kitties seemed happy when I came home. She sent regular updates and was very easy to communicate with.

Emily is seriously the best! My cat Moose is pretty shy to visitors, and typically hides from anyone that isn’t me unless she’s around them consistently for a few days. Moose warmed up to Emily as early as the first day she came by to check on her which was awesome. Emily is very responsive, accommodating, and sent lots of pictures of my fur baby while I was gone. Cannot recommend Emily enough! And 100% will be booking her in the future!

Emily was fantastic! Such a relief to find a good and reliable person! When our neighborhood high school senior was unavailable, and all our "plan B's" fell through we booked Emily but kept our expectations low, having had a mediocre experience in the past with a pet drop-in care service with another company. Emily was very responsive right from the beginning, and exceeded our expectations by sending pictures taken during her visits, etc. We'll definitely be looking to book her again in the future - we were stressed about finding someone and she was literally a dream come true.

TL;DR: 10/10 will hire Emily again Emily is the ultimate cat sitter for so many reasons: my scaredy cat met her and didn't hiss or run away; she sent pictures of the kitties while we were out of town; every communication with her is professional; she did an excellent job cleaning the litter boxes; and most of all, the cats were happy and relaxed when we returned because Emily had given them lots of attention.

Emily was awesome! She gets an A+. She was very communicative with us, providing updates from each visit along with pictures of our precious kitty cat. We have absolute trust in her and plan to ask her back whenever we travel.

Emily again was fantastic: she is reliable and responsive, sending photos every day. My cat loves her and I know he is treated well. Emily also worked with me to resolve a potential date issue. She is the best!

Emily was very communicative throughout her service and sent photos and updates regularly which reassured us that our cat was being well taken care of. She was very knowledgeable of feline care and demonstrated a genuine appreciation of cats. I would not hesitate to ask for her help again! A+ care and help!

Emily did such a great job making sure our pets were cared for while my husband and I were away for the holidays! I loved the pictures and updates she sent us, and it seems like our cats really warmed up to her. We will definitely reach out to Emily again for any future cat-sitting needs!

Emily was amazing. She was always communicating and sending pictures whenever she was there. I was so relieved while on my trip that my cats were taken care of and had no worries at all!

We have two senior cats and Emily was wonderful with them! She is so kind and helpful and we felt much at ease traveling knowing she was taking care of them. We will definitely utilize Emily's help and care in the future.

Really easy to work with and very responsive! Love her excitement to meet my cats and appreciate her flexibility.

Emily is the best ever! She has cared for Tyger 6 times, and always does a wonderful job. She and Tyger have a real bond. I was away for 2 weeks, and felt so reassured by Emily's comments and photos that Tyger was very well cared for.

I have used Emily serveral times now, and I have left detailed reviews outlining each reason she is amazing. Each visit I appreciate her services more and more. I feel Emily and my cat have a whole relationship now and he’s another one of her humans. I’ve known her for over a year now and she’s just as professional, polite, and reliable as ever.

Emily was wonderful in every way, as usual. Fifth time using her. Communication was great, along with photos. Most important, I could see in the pictures that my cat was very playful, relaxed, and happy with Emily. She is as absolutely the best!

As usual, Emily was reliable and a great playmate for Tyger.
