“Very happy to have found Kathy! She understands how to interact with dogs and all their different personalities. My dog does not like meeting new people but Kathy knew exactly how to greet him and make him feel comfortable. Within minutes he was sitting with her on the couch and letting her pet him. Looking forward to working with Kathy again!”

“She's been so reliable and punctual and keeps in touch about everything! Even extra photos!! Thrilled with Sabrina! And my dogs are tired out at the end of day thanks to their mid day exercise!”
“Haley was so flexible with our 6 month old puppy. She sent frequent updates, made sure he was fed, got his much needed exercise on walks, and was respectful of our home. It was such a relief to have Haley as reliable, trusted sitter while we were at work. Would definitely recommend Haley for any pet sitting needs!”
“Very personable, passionate about animals, and eager to meet my kitties. I think it's a great touch that a meet and greet was offered prior to accepting the appointment.

About: I have experience with every kind of dog, from very large to very small. I've brought my own dogs to training and presently enjoy learning about dogs and their behavior. One of my favorite things to do is hike with my dogs. I'm a teacher, so, I am free all summer- morning (I'm an early bird) through evening and every day of the week and some weekends. I like to stay active, so adding walks to my day makes me happy. I take my three large breed dogs on walks or hikes every day. I'm comfortable walking more than one dog at a time and taking them for car rides to reach a destination.

Besides the fact the Bridgett has always loved animals (especially dogs!) she is one of the most responsible and trustworthy people I know. She is very committed, a person you can absolutely count on to show up and do the job she’s hired to do.
