Cathy took great care of my 3 cats. I was confident they would be in good hands while with her and when I need a sitter I would trust her to give them attention and love.

Cathy loves dogs and cares for them like the special creatures they are. She sent in-depth updates and photos so we knew our Phoebe was in good hands.
