    Cats are so particular. Especially when you spoil them as badly as we have. I work from home so I'm ALWAYS here with our boys Ollie and Liam. I talk to them all day and sing songs etc. They are truly loved and are a part of our family. So the thought of traveling always fills me with dread. When my wife found City Kitty Cat Care we had a feeling they might understand the dynamic we've created. When we met them we we sure. Gretel is a cat whisperer. She has built an amazing service by just focusing on cats and catering to their specific needs. Chloe, who spent a lot of time with our boys is amazing- she cares so much about them having their normal home experience. While we were out of the country we received updates twice a day- pictures, videos, texts- it was like we were spending some time with them. The fact that we can travel without worrying about our fur babies has opened up a lot of possibilities for us. We can't say enough good things about City Kitty. Gretel and Chloe- thank you so much for taking such amazing care of our fellas. By the way- the place looked amazing when we came in and the boys were so happy. If you need your little furby's cared for look no further.

    The face of a very happy cat. Thanks Gretel!!!

    I was going out of town, and at the last minute I realized I'd forgotten to find some to look after my 4yr old orange furry baby, Buddy. I found Gretel via yelp and called based on her reviews. She met me the same day, to meet and greet with our fuzzy friend. All I can say is she is sweet, thorough, and my Buddy really likes her. I am so grateful for the service she provides and will be using her again the the future. I really loved the update emailed pictures and video she sends. Trust that your feline children will be in great hands with Gretel.

    Jimmy, the cat no previous pet sitter ever witnessed, enjoying some grooming from Gretel.

    If you have a kitty with special medical needs, especially one that is fearful of strangers, this is the pet sitting service you need to use. Gretel is a cat genius. I've had pet-sitters who visited for years and literally never witnessed my cats. But when Jimmy got diabetes and IBD, that just would not work any more. Gretel and Leigh don't just come by, put out food and clean the box - they work with your animals to gain their trust, so you can know that someone is really taking care of them. After regular socialization visits, my cats are braver and more relaxed with company, and I'm no longer overwhelmed by responsibility for a cat who needs medication and trusted only me. I'm so glad I found them - you need to look no further.

    Eva thinks City Kitty is pretty great.

    I hired Gretel and Leigh to help with a very sick kitty who needed a lot of daily care.

    I recommend Kari without reservation. I had real concerns about using a pet service because my cat,…read moreSol, can barely suffer strangers when I bring them into our home as guests - she remains under the bed terrified until they leave - so I worried that having a stranger entering twice a day for several days would be upsetting to her. Kari came over to meet me and Sol before I hired her, and I had an immediate sense of her expertise in animal care, her deep love of animals, and her holistic approach to caring for them. I knew without a doubt that she was not just going to come in to feed and water Sol, but would actually get to know her. Imagine my relief and gratitude when Kari sent pictures, daily, of Sol at first peeking out from behind the bed, then Sol sitting across the room "visiting" with Kari, then Sol sleeping on the back of the couch behind Kari's head - her preferred spot when I'm at home! I could almost hear her purring. Kari invested her time very generously in cultivating a bond with Sol, and it turns out with me too, because she made allaying my anxiety a priority. I got back to my hotel at 8:00 one night and texted Kari "Can I call?" and within seconds she was on the phone updating me. She goes way above and beyond just tending to creature needs, she brings a lot of love to the job. Kari is a real professional. She has given me good advice about Sol's care and comfort from day one, that I value and take. She sends updates and photos during her visits, observes the agreed upon schedule, and is completely dependable and trustworthy. If you love your pet and want her to be in the best possible hands, you won't do better than Kari.

    Kari has control issues. After speaking with others she is very delusional. Kari job was to feed…read morethe dog. My dog was never crated as she claims. She lies and causes conflict. Kari wanted to keep my dog at her unsanitary house. We said no. She would feed my dog on her walks what she wanted her to eat. After the walks my dog would poop all over the house 30 minutes after dropping her off. She would text my daughter and claim she over heard me on the phone talking about her. This became too much. She constantly talk about her customers and how they lived that's why I stop communicating with her. I do not trust her.
