Katy K. has been my pet and house sitter for many years. She is reliable and conscientious, kind and compassionate and is a thoughtful adult companion for my many animals. I have had shy cats that she has won over and she has helped me care for a totally feral (and kind of cranky) outdoor stray cat for over a year while we worked to get him to trust people. Katy has her own animals and "gets" the different personalities of dogs and cats. I have trusted her with my animals and the key to my house for all these years and am able to rely on her even at the last minute if my schedule changes. for the last several months Katy has been part of the village that is needed to care for my elderly, deaf and failing Basset Hound. She could not be more of a caring and kind caregiver and I trust her implicitly with all my animals but especially with my my beloved Maggie (and Nicki before her), Katy has been top drawer. I highly recommend Katy. She is communicative, sticks to the schedule, does what she is asked and much more, is not put off by accidents from either business end, can do meds, and is an all around really good person.
