Responsible, reliable cat-visitor sought

[leafshimmer.livejournal.com]

Dear Davis Square,

Can anyone recommend a reliable (and, if that's not the impossible dream) reasonably priced pet-sitter? I am going to be out of town from the 24th through the 28th, and I need a responsible individual to come in, give kitty fresh food and water, and change her litterbox if possible. (Pet sitters may refuse to change litterboxes--I admit I'm on terra incognita here.)

I'm about to go looking on Craigs List, but thought I would inquire if any of you have recommendations. Thanks and may your holidaze be tranquil (or a wild blitz of nonstop crazy fun 'n' games, if that's your trip).

Darn, if I still lived in the area I'd be happy to sit - I have great references and do so love kitties! :) But I just wanted to add that whoever you go with should definitely change the litter (no reason not to, won't be gross if they come every day), and have at least 1 reference to make sure they're the type of person to really come every day and not skip out - sometimes people can get lazy with self-reliant cats, but it's not good if kitty knocks the bowl and runs out of water. :(
