Agree. But, she's a busy lady!
Don't be afraid to check with your neighbors! I've told the story several times, that when I went away the first time, I hired a "professional." When I got home, at least three neighbors "yelled" at me, "We'd have taken care of The Cat, for free!" That was over five years ago and the same gals are still usually available; if one is not another is, or they'll work out something among themselves!
