The sitter came beforehand to meet my cat and understand her routine, including medication times and feeding schedule. She was very patient and gentle, which instantly put me at ease. During my trip, I got updates and photos showing my cat was relaxed and comfortable, and I realized how lucky I was to find someone so careful. By the way, I actually found her profile a bit later on
