Yappy To Be Home

Using Yappy to Be Home Pet Services to care for my cats while I’m out of town always makes me feel better about leaving my little «babies» behind. When she came over to my home the first time, she was very thorough when she came to my home, met the cats and learned the details of caring for them, watering plants, picking up mail, dealing with our security system, etc.
Each time she petsits, she waters plants, takes out the garbage, brings the garbage can back in, cleans out the catboxes, cleans out and refills water and food bowls, plays with the cats and gets the mail. She leaves a detailed report of her interactions with the cats every day that she comes by. She is even willing to leave food and water out daily for our little «Momma cat» who lives outside and is too wild to come in.
During the snow storm of ¹²⁄₂₀₀₈ Sandra trudged through snow banks to get to my cats and make sure they were fed and safe. She even left them with extra food and water in case there were problems getting back for her next visits. She also called me to check in so that I would know what was going on and that I could feel good about being away and knowing my babies were being cared for during the snow storm.
I was having her come every day and it turned out that my cats really didn’t play much or need the interaction so she recommended that she maybe come every other day, leaving a little extra food and water each time she came. She made less money with this recommendation but it was obvious that she wanted to do what was most sensible and best for the needs of my cats and my family.
We didn’t use her services this year because we didn’t end up going out of town… but she sent me an email reminder in November allowing me priority space for the holidays if we were planning to go out of town.
I will definitely use her services again and I would, and do, recommend her to anyone who lives in the South Seattle/​West Seattle area who needs competent, trustworthy, and reliable pet services. Sandra is so likeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend working with her.
