Leaving town is always a little stressful—but not because of travel logistics or forgetting to pack a charger. For me, the real anxiety has always been leaving behind my feline fur babies: Schnitzengruben, Toaster Strudel, Schnufulufugus, Schloki, and Freya Farfignugen (yes, they each have names as unique as their personalities!).

Enter Lisa Wilson of Kritter Sitters—my petsitting hero.

Lisa has been caring for my cats with a level of attention, love, and professionalism that’s hard to find. With Kritter Sitters, I don’t worry when I’m away. I know my little ones are being treated like family. They’re not just being fed and watered; they’re being loved, talked to, cuddled (if they allow it), and their litter boxes are always clean.

One of my favorite parts of working with Lisa is the daily photo updates. I get snapshots of each kitty looking happy, healthy, and usually mid-nap or mid-mischief through a handy app. These pictures brighten my day and give me the reassurance that all is well back home.

It’s more than just a service—it’s a relationship built on trust, and Lisa has truly become an extended part of our little furry family. Whether I’m gone for a weekend or a week, I return to a calm, content household—often with cats who barely noticed I was gone (which I credit entirely to Lisa’s magic touch).

If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets as if they were hers, Lisa Wilson and Kritter Sitters is the answer. Five stars, two paws up, and one grateful cat parent.
