“Victoria was great with my pupper. She was very patient with him when he was initially apprehensive of a new person taking care of him. I’ve never felt so at peace being away, knowing I have a reliable sitter! Thank you! :)”


2. Jaden M.

14. Katharine B.

“I highly recommend Katharine! I was away for an extended time over the holidays and I can tell my cat was well cared for while I was away. She updated me with details every day and made sure my cat got her needed daily medication. I will be re-booking for future needs. Thank you!”
