AuPurr Cat Care

We had a very bad experience with our previous cat sitter and after reading all the reviews we called Sondi. We have been with her for about 8 or 9 months now and have been very pleased!
She provided care for our cat, and due to the distance asked us if she could transition to Tom. She came with him for the first few visits to show him our cats routine. Tom has been absolutely wonderful. He goes twice a day, stays the full half hour, and always texts me to let me know our cat is doing and a progress report. Our cat is very shy and has seemed to open up to Tom very nicely. We can fully trust him and during our vacations, and can enjoy because we know Tom is there.
I would be happy to provide a reference for those that want one.
Thank you Sondi and Tom!

Despite the somewhat mixed review on Unilocal, I decided to go with AuPurr off of a personal recommendation. My cats are very easy to care for, as they have no health issues and are young.
I was VERY pleased with the service. I contacted AuPurr on a Thursday about needing a sitter starting the following Friday. I got an email back saying I should hear from my sitter by Saturday, and when I hadn’t, I emailed again. I got a very fast response saying that the original sitter had broken her shoulder and Sondi was waiting to hear back from another one. I heard back Monday, and everything went perfectly.
Overall a fantastic experience, and I will definitely be using them again. My sitter was very friendly, and did a great job with my little guys.

Sondi is this cute old lady with 8 cats of her own. It’s clear from how she talks that she really is a cat lover. I’m not entirely sure how to judge a cat sitter, but, I came home from my trip and my cat was alive and not begging for food, so, I think Sondi did her job. I appreciated that she texted me an update as well. Although, I did specifically ask for an update about my cat’s poop (unfortunatly, my poor kitty has been having some issues) — and she neglected to include that information.

We had a bizarre and unpleasant experience with Sondi Moore.
We hired her to feed our cats while we were away for a week. During this time she sent me a number of emails, pages and pages long. All of these emails had only one purpose: to tell me how inappropriately we care for our cats. I have had cats for over 30 years, and all of them have lived to a ripe age and died of old age. Currently, I have two cats, both eight years old and in great health, according to our veterinarian. But not according to Ms. Moore.
While we were away, Ms. Moore convinced herself that both of my cats have ticks and fleas and one of my cat has worms just because they live outside. [Both receive paradyne treatments for fleas and ticks every month.] In one of our email exchanges, I directed Ms. Moore not to give my cat any anti-​worm medication because I was returning in two days and would then take them to our vet. She ignored my direction and imposed the treatment on my cat. She also overfed my cats, I specifically directed her about portions of food that should be given and she could not follow this direction. The tone of her emails was consistently unprofessional and rude, and she failed to follow basic professional courtesies like confirming an appointment made long in advance.
Because of these issues, we informed Ms. Moore that we would not be able to use her services in the future. A few days later, after she received her final payment in full, I received a ring of my door bell. It was an officer from the county animal control, saying they had received a complaint from Ms. Moore that our cats were not adequately cared for. He then took one look at our healthy cats, rolled his eyes, apologized for bothering us, and left.
As I said, our experience with Ms. Moore was just bizarre.

When I called Sondi on a Tuesday morning, she happened to be available to drop by my home within 20 minutes. She is so kind and knowledgable, and obviously a friend to all felines. Both my cats enjoyed their peacock feathers and were sleek and happy when we returned from our cruise. The litter box was probably cleaner than it had been when we left it!
Service also included mail & package pickup, and prices were in line with other petsitting services we’ve used in the past. I highly recommend Sondi and her team.
