 "Lynne Madrigal is our little secret
for the last 10 years. When our 19 year old cat needed someone to
take care of him while we traveled, Auntie Lynne was there. She
handled all situations including medical emergencies as if it were
her own cat. We now have two kittens but would not have considered
getting these boys if Lynne were not available to care for them
while we traveled. Her professionalism, love of cats and sense of
humor are why we have used her over 60 days this year. We
never worry about our cats or our home because we have Lynne
Madrigal."

Lynne is the most thoughtful,
dedicated, and loving person anyone could ever hope to have care for
their cats. Due to a host of medical issues, our kitties require a
great deal. Until we met Lynne, we just didn't think anyone could
possibly take care of them as well as was needed. As soon as we met
Lynne, though, we realized we'd found someone very, very special - someone
who would genuinely love our kitties, dote on them, and ensure that
all of their physical and emotional needs were well tended to.
Having Lynne in our lives has made a profound difference, and we are
genuinely grateful for her thoughtful and kind spirit. - Michele and Lori

"For several years
now,
whenever we've been out of town, Lynne Madrigal has cared (and we
do mean cared) for our three cats. We have found
"Auntie" Lynne to be a talented, dedicated and
thoroughly reliable cat-sitter. Bottom line: Lynne loves cats. She
loves her cats. She'll love your cats. What more could you ask?"

It was
important to us to find a “cats-only” professional, since our
two older kitties require close monitoring and specialized care
related to health issues. Lynne Madrigal of Lap of Luxury is
almost like having a visiting vet! Her wealth of knowledge about
all things feline has proved a life-saver (literally) for Owen and
Bean. Lap of Luxury is one fantastic cat sitting service!

Saying goodbye to someone you love
can be difficult, particularly when that someone is a much-loved
cat. Auntie Lynne makes those good byes much easier - she
offers not only the piece of mind that my Derby will be well-fed,
watered and cared for, but that he'll be loved and cherished.
When I return, there is ample evidence that my little boy has
enjoyed his vacation with Auntie Lynne - his coat is sleek, his
mood is relaxed, the catnip supply is depleted, and his toy basket
is in disarray! Auntie Lynne goes well beyond the routine of
a typical cat-sitter. There is quite simply no one like her - and
if Auntie Lynne's schedule is booked,
Derby
won't let me leave town! - Kendra

I tell all my friends that I have the world's greatest
cat sitter, and I firmly believe that's true. It was a most fortunate day for me and my guys when Auntie
Lynne came into our lives. I had another cat sitter when I first moved to Seattle, and when I'd return
from a trip the cats would be so stressed they would be practically bouncing off the walls. It is so
wonderful to go away on a trip with absolutely no worry about my guys being OK. I know that when I come
home they'll be happy and calm because their Auntie Lynne will have pampered them. Lynne is
compassionate, dedicated and highly professional, and I have the utmost respect and admiration for her work.

"Since 1997, Lynne
Madrigal has provided our dearest cats with the ultimate TLC, and
their
humans with the peace of mind necessary to enjoy time spent away
from them....Over the years we have come home to a diary of her
twice daily visits, freshly baked cookies, candid polaroid
pictures of 'the girls', and a ho-hum greeting from cats quite
content during our absence. We have every confidence in Lynne and
value our relationship, personal and
professional."

Duster's family)

Finding "Auntie Lynn" has
given me the most incredible peace of mind when I travel. I know
my two kitties are in excellent, loving care. The biggest
compliment I can pass along is that my kitties no longer
"punish" me for leaving them when I return, as
they used to do before discovering her (kitty owners will know
what I mean). What a win/win!! I have peace of mind
and my kitties are so well taken care of. Can't recommend
her enough! - Jane (and Fred and Dulce)

Entrusting the care and happiness of
my cats to someone while I travel is not a thing that I take
lightly. “Auntie” Lynne is the next best thing to having
a family member stop by every day I’m gone and wait on my cats.
In fact she may be better because she’s not squeezing a visit
into a day’s already full schedule. She spends time
bonding and, if they’re in the mood, playing with the cats not
just cleaning their litter and changing their food and water.
I miss my cats when I’m gone but thanks to Lynne I don’t worry
about them being neglected.

There are acceptable cat sitters
and then there are extraordinary cat "aunties." Auntie
Lynne of Lap of Luxury brings such creative warmth and cozy caring
to home-alone kitties she must be considered exceptional. It's never
easy to leave my two indoor cats but knowing they will be purring
under Lynne's Lap of Luxury care at least makes going away possible
for me! I schedule trips away only after checking to be sure Lynne
is available. - Helen Brumbach.
