![Testimonial 2 Cat Whisperers Cat Sitting Austin Image]()
"I (or my cat, rather) is so lucky to have stumbled onto Ariella before she became her own company -- she's the key to my ability to travel without worries. When I leave my cat in her care, I don't fret at all, no matter how long I'm gone. She's genuinely interested in the welfare and interest of the cats she watches over and demonstrates a broad range of experience. Plus, I get regular updates and pictures via text or email, which makes me feel even better. Ariella is absolutely trustworthy, accountable and she'll be getting Joe's business for many years to come. I not only trust her with my pet, but I trust her with and in my home. Highly recommend ... your kitty (and home) is (are) 100% safe with Ariella and her team!"

"I have been using this business as my primary cat sitter for the last few years now and only have the best things to say! Ariella is one of the most cat loving, attentive, and go the extra mile kind of people I've had watch my cat. I get regular updates while I'm gone, instructions are followed, and she genuinely cares about giving the best experience possible! I highly recommend her and will continue to use her in the future!! A+++ all around!"

![Testimonial 4 Cat Whisperers Cat Sitting Austin Image]()
"Ariella and her team of Cat Whisperers are AMAZING. She’s watched our four cats (and two birds) multiple times and has always done an outstanding job taking care of our pet babies and home. She thinks of everything and sends pictures and updates. You can tell this is more than a job for her, but a calling. We’ve used other pet-sitters but none have ever been so professional, sweet, and passionate about the role. We’ve truly become friends! I’ve recommended her to others and she’s done an excellent job for them as well. We've also worked with some of her associates, who she carefully vets to make sure they match her standard and love for animals, and they've been so wonderful, too! We could not be more grateful for the Cat Whisperers!!!! It’s so refreshing to find a crew that LOVES cats!"

"Ariella is my absolute first choice to check in on my boy, Bas. He’s a complicated but very sociable cat and Ariella always gives him all the love and attention and understanding he needs and he is always so happy and content when I get home from my work trips. I never worry about him when she’s the one taking care of him!!"

"You cannot go wrong with the Cat Whisperers! I booked them to watch my cat Wolfie while I was out of town this last week and could not believe how well he was taken care of! I met with Ariella ahead of my trip so she could learn the systems that I had at my home, and she went above and beyond to understand the needs of my cat and how we could make this a real success. Will definitely be using them again in the future!"

"Ariella was AMAZING!!! Honestly she was the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. She truly gave so much attention and care to get to know our cats and devote time to not just taking care of them but making them feel so loved. She was so communicative, send photos every day and even brought over a fun new toy for them to play with while we were gone. You can tell she doesn’t just do this to make money but truly cares and loves what she does! I could not recommend her more highly! Worth every penny!"

"Ariella was the best cat sitter ever! My cat is normally very shy and reserved, and not very playful with strangers. Within two visits she had my cat playing and even allowing pets! I received pictures and videos from every visit and she was great about playing with my cat. I felt so comfortable knowing my kitty was in good hands while I was on a long trip, and I can't recommend Ariella enough. Anyone who has cats knows how different each one is and it meant the world to me that my cat felt comfortable right away with Ariella. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Monty! I will definitely be booking again for the next time I'm out of town."

"Ariella was wonderful and would 1000% recommend her! She was super patient in coaxing my shy cat out and won him over after just a few visits. She’s great with communication, photo and video updates, and gave him a new toy that he loves."

"Ariella was super responsive, took great care of my two cats (one had a special need, requiring subq fluids daily), and kept me in the loop daily the whole time. She's really conscientious and paid a lot of attention to little details like making sure the cat toys are put away, keeping the cats separated so they aren't eating each other's food, etc. I so appreciate having someone who is so mindful to look after my kitties. Thank you Ariella!"
