"Cathy is a lover of all creatures great and small. She is also
trustworthy, conscientious and follows instructions to the letter. We
know that when we leave our "girls", Molly
and Ginger, with her, they will get all the love and attention
they need. It is a comforting feeling when you are thousands
of miles away from the pets that you love."

"The
day we found Cathy was our lucky day. She is the ultimate in her field.
She is a true "buddy" to our boy Arley. We trust her implicitly.
She is conscientious, reliable and intelligent. I feel she has
become more than a pet sitter to us. She is our friend. I would recommend
Cathy and her service with absolutely no hesitation. Try it.....you'll like it!!"

look forward to reading the diary when we come home at supper
time.We are delighted to find someone like Cathy who loves our animals as we
do. Your service is wonderful and we will continue to recommend you and
FSPPS to our friends, family and all interested in loving care for their

"Cathy has watched my dogs Quentin and Amber for the last several
years and she's been absolutely wonderful.
It's obvious that
she loves her job because she has such love to share with
our pets. At our return, we always found a note letting us
know just how everything went.
It really puts your mind at
ease knowing your animals will be well cared for in your absence.
We just moved and we are going to miss having Cathy sit for
our precious pups, but I wanted to be sure to leave a note
saying THANK YOU for taking the best possible care for Amber
and Quentin. You've been wonderful!"

"Cathy is the most reliable, professional and honest person you
could ever do business with. We have been using her services for years and
we know we can leave our home and our cat "Lennie" with peace
of mind. We highly recommend Cathy and Four Seasons Pet Sitting services."

"I
have been using Four Seasons services for about six months and I only
have great things to say about my dog's visits. I was nervous at first
about leaving my dog Phoebe with anyone other than family and was also
not thrilled with having someone in my place when I was gone.
That changed
the minute I met Cathy and her former associate Karen. Both women were
friendly and personable and I immediately felt comfortable with them.
I always come back to find cute notes and a happy cocker spaniel. I have
also needed some last minute visits and they are always quick to try to
squeeze me in. I highly recommend Four Seasons!"

"The
first time I knew Cathy was last year when I had to leave for a three
weeks' vacation. I left my little cat SimSim with her, and since it
was the first time to leave him, I was very nervous.
But when I saw
how much she loves animals, I knew right away she will be the best person
to take care of my baby. This year I am leaving again and I will leave SimSim (now 16 months old) and his new brother Fatuta with Cathy - she
is the only person I can trust to take care of my boys."

As my job takes me thousands of miles away from
my "family" of dogs and cats a few times a year, Four Seasons Pet Sitting
(Cathy and expecially Virginia) has been a life-saver.
With the special
care that some of my animals require, it is more than just comforting to know
that they are all in the care of someone who loves them as I do. Virginia
even humors me each evening when I call home to hear everyone's "voice."
Four Seasons, you are reliable, flexible, and just plain amazing. Thank you
for everything.

"I
recently told Cathy that she is priceless and that is exactly
how I feel. Traveling was a concern after we adopted our 'Lady
Jane,' and we do quite a lot of it.
I return now with confidence, knowing Lady will be safe and
content. Though that is and always will be my main concern
there is more. Cathy is organized and efficient, always giving
more than she has been asked and doing it in a way that makes
me feel that she is a friend to Lady and to me!"
With Sincere Thanks,

"Our two kitties, Toto and
Maxine, always seem to be firmly attached to our hip. They
are always following us around, meowing and chattering
away.
Toto can't go a day without his special
'Daddy lovin'
time, and Max loves to get attention by 'dancing' and
shaking her tail at our feet. They even snuggle up with us
on the bed when it's time to sleep! |
| (Toto) |
| Vacationing was tough because
we hate to leave them alone. Also, Max isn't very inviting
to strangers. Cathy changed all of that! Now we can take a
trip and feel confident that our pets are safe and cared
for, and the kitties love her!!"

"Per your 'client survey' recently received as a follow-up to your
sitting for Dremel and Radar, I would be more than happy to send a
reference!
It was a pleasure to meet you when you came to meet our pets
before sitting for them. |
 |
|
(Dremel) |
| I found your attention to
our pets genuine, your Website VERY professional as was the
paperwork you asked me to complete. Never before had anyone asked
me about a form to be included with our pets veterinarian so that
in the event that something did happen, you would have complete
authority to have them treated without delay. I think that this is
a great procedure! Thank you. |
 |
In addition, your checklists for
additional services such as plant watering, mail pick-up, lights,
and TV are above and beyond the call of duty. I realized that when
I read your letter upon our return that our satellite system is
confusing and that there is |
| (Radar) |
|
|
no way you would be able to figure out how to put the 'Swing' music
on for Drem! I am sure he was fine without it! Thank you
again for your help. I know we are outside your normal pet sitting
area, and I appreciate you taking us on as clients! Thank you
again, we look forward to working with you again soon!"

"We have been using Cathy's services for many years. Prior to
finding out about her, we had used a variety of sources for
helping us to care for our pets when we were away--neighborhood
children, our own grown children and other relatives. The
neighborhood children were the worst, once leaving our cat out
for a whole day in very cold weather.
|

(Boozie) |
|
Our relatives would get busy and forget
to come at the prescribed times. It was hit or miss with all of
them. We also attempted to board our pets at various places and, on
one trip, we got a call from the vet asking us to come home,
because our aging cat was in a state of trauma. She would not eat
or move about and there was little they could do for her. Also,
our dog whined and moaned all day long, which was very upsetting to
us. |

(Blackie) |
Finding Cathy changed all that. We knew she was
going to be good when our dog first met her. He ran up to her like
she was an old friend, and this is not something he normally does.
We felt that his instincts have always been pretty good, so we
decided to try her. |
| We were pleasantly surprised. Our dog
and our cat were happy and contented when we came home, rather than
upset and forlorn, as we had previously seen them. And they got to
be in their own environment, which was the best benefit of all.
Cathy is a professional and she comes when we ask her to. She
brings in our mail, she puts our lights on at night, and above
all, she gives us peace of mind. We can enjoy ourselves knowing
that the pets are well cared for. She always writes notes telling
us how things have gone and we really appreciate that. She even
checks to see if we made it home okay. As far as we are concerned,
using Cathy's services is the only way to go."

"For six years, we have always had a family member take care of
our dog, Colonel, and our cat, Jordan, while we were away.
However, no one was able to watch them
this year, so we had Four Seasons Professional Pet Sitting come
to our home.
|
Both Colonel and Jordan are 10 years old and Jordan requires
medication two times a day. At first I was a little nervous - not
only about leaving them, but also how they would be for a
stranger.
After meeting Cathy, I had no concerns at all. I could see
that Colonel and Jordan would be just fine.
|
 (Colonel) |
|
My husband and I can confidently
recommend Four Seasons Professional Pet Sitting and will be
definitely using them again in the future."

"I saw the ad in the
East Greenbush paper about Four Seasons Professional Pet Sitting. I
called and spoke with Cathy, and was immediately impressed with her
professionalism.
She make an appointment to meet with me and
the pets before agreeing to take the job. This showed me that she
wanted to be sure she could provide exceptional care and not just
take the job without considering all aspects of the responsibility. |
|
Cathy spend about an hour at my home for
this initial consultation. We talked specifically about my pets,
and their care and habits. She took the time to look around my home
so as to fully understand where my pets sleep, eat, have their food
located, and other relevant information on their care.
I was extremely impressed with Cathy's professionalism during this
visit. She came prepared with paperwork and a contract. Her
paperwork included detailed instructions on not only the care of
the pets, but also on the maintenance of my home during my
vacation. Cathy's service also included getting the mail and the
paper every day, bringing in out the trash, turning lights on and
off, and anything else you may worry about while away from your
home for a period of time. I knew at once
upon meeting Cathy that she was outstanding! She combines a
caring and nurturing manner toward pets with an assertive and
confident attitude toward her job and the responsibility of caring
for your home and pets. I felt safe entrusting my pets and my home
in her care. Cathy even suggested that I
call her while I was away to check on things at home. That was an
amazing and comforting thought, because I left my sick dog in her
care. I did call Cathy during my vacation, and spoke with her. She
calmed my fears, because she is so reliable, helpful, and kind.
When I returned, everything was perfect! My pets were happy,
because they had been well taken care of in THEIR home. My mail and
newspapers were neatly stacked and waiting on my table and my
plants were not dead, because Cathy had watered them!
After coming home, Cathy called me to make sure my pets and I were
satisfied. This follow-up call once again showed me that Cathy goes
beyond expectations. I have raved about
Cathy and Four Seasons Pet Sitting to all of my friends and
relatives. I will NEVER send my pets to a kennel again!
Cathy's service is SUPERIOR!"
