Pets are comfortable anywhere, & I will take precautions needed for all individual pet care.

Mac isn't used to being left behind and sometimes has issues with separation anxiety, but he absolutely loved hanging out with Kooy. Never seen him so happy with a sitter :) Kooy will definitely be my first choice next time I need a sitter, and I'd highly recommend him for house sitting or whatever other pet care you're looking for.”
