Absolutely Reliable Cat Sitting

Barb has been our cat sitter for almost 2 years now. We were so nervous to leave our kitties for over a week for the first time since adopting them (also the first time they would be alone together for longer than a day without us there). Barb was very responsive, sent us her information, and arranged to come over to meet our cats with us there. Our cats are friendly to begin with, but the big guy can be a little shy with new people – however, he IMMEDIATELY loved Barb (for one thing, Barb grows her own catnip at her house!).
All of our reservations were allayed seeing Barb interact with our cats. They love her and we can tell she genuinely loves them back, as well as loves her job. Barb even correctly diagnosed our male cat’s asthma (which he developed when when moved to Seattle, and were then able to successfully treat).
Barb makes sure to spend time playing with your cats, provide any needed medications, water any plants, bring in mail – we’re so happy to have found her and value her professionalism and customer service. Our building managers have been pleased with her professionalism as well.
If requested, Barb will send you email updates daily (or every other day, depending on how booked she is). On our first trip using her service, she made sure to email everyday. It was wonderful to have that kind of follow up!
We 100% recommend her services to anyone in downtown Seattle. 100% worth the investment to know your cats are getting love and attention while you’re out of town.

Barbara is absolutely amazing, thoughtful and really gets cats. She’s my first pick for a cat sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough!

Barbara is a fantastic cat sitter. She’s been taking care of our playful kitties for a year — and giving us peace of mind when we’re away. She made them a toy on her first visit and it’s still one of their favorites. She knows and loves cats.

I have used Barb for pet/​cat sitting for several years and couldn’t be happier. She not only feeds them, she brushes them, plays with them, cleans the box, and brings in the mail! She always leaves detailed information about the visit and lets me know if anything looks amiss. In the past I asked friends to look in and feed the boys and never had the peace of mind I get with Barb. I know she loves my cats and they love her so I don’t have to worry. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Barbara is just fantastic. She has taken incredible care of our cat over the last two years and we would recommend her to anybody. At one point she even had to take him on an emergency vet visit that ultimately saved his life. She was very calm about the whole thing, gave good advice, and made sure he was well taken care of.
You really can’t do better!

Barbara has been taking care of Zoe and Flame for my first year in Seattle. She clearly loves animals, and it shows when she interacts with my cats (I think they’ve bonded quite a bit!).
She gives updates on how things are going while I’m gone, and when I get back, it’s like I never left. She has a limited area, so unfortunately I’ll have to find someone new in Bellevue.

I’ve been a customer of Absolutely Reliable Cat Sitting for 2 years. The service is absolutely reliable and my cat (Louis Meamerpants Armstrong) loves Barbara. I cannot state strongly enough that I would highly recommend this service.

Barbara is a wonderful. Really the best. I found her online and read the previous Unilocal review and she took care of my beloved cat for a week this August. I was very impressed by her knowledge, friendliness, and professionalism. I was totally nervous about leaving my cat and she was so reassuring, she even sent me pictures of him while I was away. Barbara, watered my plants (which looked great when I got home) and also brought in the mail. When I got home my cat was happy and obviously well cared for. I will be using her for all my future cat sitting needs. I highly recommend Absolutely Reliable!

We’ve been using Barbara for cat sitting our two cats in Phinney for about two years now. She’s great! She’s very accommodating with extras (like keeping an eye on our then-​newly planted grass) and taking in the mail and stuff. And she really really likes cats.
Our cats are really shy, but she has developed a good relationship with them, which I can clearly see in the fact that whenever we get back into town their coats are extra brushed and shiny.
Both of my cats are on the «Kitty Client photos» page, but I won’t reveal which two they are.
