Sparkle Cat Sitting

Mike took care of our cat for a long weekend and I would highly recommend him. He fed and gave meds to our 16-​year old kitty. He even did the dishes and took out the trash. He is terrific!

Mike was super awesome and fantastic with Soup, my 19 YO cat who is a bit special needs. He was careful and respectful of our home and clearly took his time to do things right. I would not hesitate to use him again.

My first encounter w/​Mike was in late 2015 when vetting pet-​sitters to care for my elderly cat over the holidays. He was incredibly professional and it was a tough decision between he and one other candidate. Ultimately at that time I hired the other sitter. BIG MISTAKE. She went through my things and stole some items on the second time I hired her.
After that incident I went directly to Mike due to the positive interactions I had w/​him the first time we communicated. He was thrilled to have the opportunity to take care of my Jasmine, so I hired to care for her while I was away for a short business trip. Mike was very professional, came over for a meet & greet, asked all the right questions, and ultimately took fantastic care of my girl. He definitely has a repeat customer in me, so I highly recommend him to anyone else looking for quality pet care.

Mike is a true friend of all cats! He took care of our two cats while we went on a trip to Tahoe. Follow directions to a T. Our kitties where in great spirits when we got home. I highly recommend this great service!

It’s always rather stressful to hire someone to look after your pet while you’re away because you’re not around make sure nothing goes wrong or to deal with problems. Mike did a good job of lessening that anxiety by emailing me updates every day to tell me how things were going, occasionally with pictures attached. He also seemed to genuinely care about my cats, mentioning when he thought one of them was acting odd and taking actions to try to deal with the problem. I will definitely be contacting him again the next time I’m out of town and need someone to look after my cats.

I would highly recommend Mike! He’s very professional, responsible, trustworthy and would definitely take good care of your cat.

We were looking pretty last minute to find a cat sitter, and didn’t want to keep begging our mother-​in-​law to stop by, when a friend suggested Sparkle Cat Sitting. Mike was able to get us booked last minute and was super professional. He anticipated all of our needs. He had a great list of questions — he definitely is a cat lover and it shows. My partner and I are so happy that we finally have a reliable, affordable and professional cat sitting option. He came by each day, made sure our fur baby was fed and such, but he also spent time grooming and playing with him. We’re kind of crazy in love with our cat, so the daily photo and video updates he sent us were just the perfect added value. We are definitely using Sparkle Cat Sitting again. I can’t recommend Mike enough!

We had to go out of town recently and found Mike through a local ad. He came to the house to meet our cats and they took to him immediately. When we saw how easy he was with the cats, and heard how organized he was with his business we felt at ease and very comfortable. Mike clearly likes to do a great job, as we got daily updates on the cats (along with photos!). At the end of our trip we came home to two very happy cats! I’m happy to recommend Mike and Sparkle Cat Sitting — your pets will be in good hands ;)

Amazing!
I booked Mike rather last minute to check in on my two cats during my vacation, after a neighbor’s commitment fell through. Mike responded to my request immediately, and was able to come over for an orientation within 24 hours.
His initial response to me included a thorough list of relevant questions which anticipated any unlikely crises, such as the vet info, whether they had any allergies etc. He was so well prepared he even asked what cleaning product I preferred should there be any «accidents».
After every visit, he sent me an email (with pictures!) just to keep me in the loop and let me know they were okay.
Generally, when I go on vacation, I am accosted by my cats when I return. That they barely noticed my presence shows me that they were well loved in my absence.
I have had a handful of cat sitters over the years, and none have shown the commitment or care of Sparkle. My HIGHEST recommendation!

Mike recently took care of my three cats while I was away for Thanksgiving. He was very responsive to anything I needed and was even willing to accommodate a last minute change in Petsitting dates. It was really nice to be able to be away from home and not worry about our animals. He is quick to respond to text or email and even sends email updates while you’re away. Mike is a trustworthy and reliable Petsitter and comes highly recommended.
