“We loved having Katie look after Bonnie. It was our longest time away from her, and Katie gave us daily updates, pictures and video. We were so relieved and thrilled to how well Bonnie did in their home, with their resident dogs, and even another dog that Katie was also watching. We will absolutely consider Katie again for future needs. Thank you Katie for taking such great care of our Bonnie girl!”
