“Kate is an exceptional dog sitter whose expertise and genuine care set her apart. She has cared for our Aussie many times, and it is clear that she brings a wealth of experience and a thoughtful, attentive approach to pet care. She takes the time to understand my dog’s needs and routines, and I am impressed by her knowledge of canine behavior and her ability to put both pets and owners at ease. Kate maintains excellent communication, provides regular updates and thoughtful insights that reassure me that my dog is in the best possible hands, which makes the entire experience seamless and stress-free. I can attest that Kate treats every dog with the same level of love and respect as she does her her own wonderful dog. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a responsible, knowledgeable, and truly compassionate caregiver!”

19. Emma O.
About: I have been a Vet assistant for almost 2 years and on the road to becoming a technician. I have also taken a 2 year small animal science program. I am fear free certified along with CPR in animals. I have a bunch of experience working with animals, and am comfortable giving medication or whatever care they may need! I have some free time when I am not working. I am pretty open as I work part time. and only have classes 2 days a week. I make sure the pet is as comfortable as I am. If the pet isn't comfortable then it won't be a good experience for me or them.
