I would absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend the Cat Nanny. First of all, the regular stuff: Marta is very easy to contact, rapidly responds, has reasonable rates, and is trustworthy. She's always on time for the key drop off, flexible if you need to change the booking, etc. Now, the gravy. She's a real pleasure to work with, and she seems genuinely to understand how hard it is to leave the fur babies behind. When I'm away she sends me lots of pictures, and her update emails have substance. She describes my cat's behavior in a way that makes it clear she's (1) really there, (2) really paying attention, and (3) making every effort to ensure that he's doing well. And that brings me to the best part. She really, genuinely loves animals, and she's GOOD with them. My cat is a BIG chicken around strangers. He almost never emerges for anyone other than his family. I assumed that Marta wouldn't even see him for the first few visits. But from the start she worked with him, coaxed him out, and now (as the pictures she sends clearly indicate) he's as comfortable with her as I could ever want. Now when I travel, I know he's being fed, has clean water and a litter box, etc., but also that he's getting the love and attention I know he needs. read more

Cat Nanny is a fantastic service if you are neurotic about how your pets are cared for, and want the absolute most loving attention given to them. I wouldn't trust my cats with anyone else. We just went on a one-week vacation and had Anke care for our two babies for twice-daily visits. She followed our feeding and care instructions to the letter (yeh, we are "those" people with multiple-page instructions on the precise care and feeding of our pets) Not only that, but she was so gentle giving our one cat his daily medication, really kept the stress to a minimum for him. Anke provided us with photos and updates via text from every single visit without fail. We were able to actually RELAX on our vacation knowing that she truly cared that they were happy and as stress-free as possible. They got cuddles and playtime, I think they miss her more than they missed us! I also have to give a huge thanks for Marta, who was so patient with us during all the pre-leaving anxiety-driven needs for assurance that everything would be perfect while we were gone. She was always so prompt to get back to us, and really eased our worries. Without a doubt, Cat Nanny is who will be taking care of our kitties for future trips. We can actually travel now!! read more

The entire experience with the Cat Nanny was excellent. Bozena was extremely professional, took notes when she came to introduce herself to us and our two cats, and followed instructions to the letter. She watered plants, took in our mail, sent us emails and pics of our fur kids and made sure that we knew they were safe and happy. When we got home she'd cleaned all the cat bowels and the kitchen was spotless. The litter box was tidy and even around it was swept and clean. We are very pleased and would recommend her to anyone. Even my shy cat (who normally hides under the bed) came out and greeted her. The service is not expensive and if you need them to come more than 1 x per day, they will accomodate. We will use your services, again and it made our vacation all the better to not have to worry! read more

Denise looked after our cat, Charlie, while we were away and we couldn't have left her in better hands. The updates we received were awesome. I knew she was being cared for and Denise made sure that she was comfortable, including bringing over a radio so that Charlie had some noise to keep her company. When we met Denise to hand over the keys and get to know Charlie she asked lots of questions and made sure she knew where everything was, which was really reassuring given that this was our first time using a service like this. I would recommend this service to anyone! read more

Marta and her sitters are professionals. I've been using their services quite a lot for over a year now and Marta has always been able to accommodate requests however long or however last-minute. I've observed my cats interact with two sitters and they are in love. The sitters go above and beyond to help me go on the road stress-free, with regular updates and even helping me out in ways I'm not expecting. If you want both your cats AND yourself to be stress-free before, during and after your trip, this is the company you want to be dealing with. read more

It was the first time that I've hired a service of this sort and I was pleasantly surprised. My boyfriend and I had a three-week long trip and we weren't so sure how safe this was but it ended up being a great experience for both us and our cat. Our sitter Ellen was super nice and professional. She sent emails with updates and photos daily, which we appreciated a lot. Our cat was really happy to see and play with someone everyday and it gave us peace of mind to know that she was well taken cared of. I definitely recommend it! read more

I debriefed with my kitty Lucy after I returned home and we were both very pleased with our nanny, Lara. Each day she (Lara) visited Lucy, served her Fancy Feast, topped up her kibble, changed her water, and most importantly, played with her (sending pix and commentary to me). During Lara's introductory visit, I could see that Lucy warmed up to her (not easy, she is a discerning puss) and when I returned, Lucy was in good form (not hiding under the bed). We hope to bring Lara back in the future, she's fabulous. read more

The Cat Nanny provides exceptional, personalized help for those of us cat owners who sometimes (or often!) need to go out of town! Marta has taken great care of my little black cat. I was completely sold on The Cat Nanny after returning to find my kitty happy, relaxed, and not needy. Marta went above and beyond in making sure my cat was cared for. I always use The Cat Nanny to take care for my cat when I need to be away. I would whole-heartedly recommend The Cat Nanny for all of your cat-care needs! read more

After returning from a 4 day Family Reunion trip to the prairies, I was delighted with my Cat Nanny Denise. I have an 11 year old Tuxedo male and told Denise to not expect a warm fuzzy time because of a skidish, timid daddies boy. True to form he was just that but the daily reports from Denise put my worries aside. The dedication and professionalism towards my baby were second to none----Thanks Denise from Teaka and Barry with glowing recommendations. read more
