Cathy has been dog sitting us for several years. She stays in our home when she cares for our "Max". She is completely trust worthy, competent, reliable, a true dog lover and a lovely human being. Max absolutely loves her. When she comes over his tail wags non-stop and he gives her lots of doggy kisses. I cannot find strong enough words to let you know how lucky you will be to have her care for your dog(s) while you're away.
