Katherine has dog sit my little Margarita (a yorkie) several times, and each time Margarita sees Kat her little tail starts to wag. Katherine is responsible and conscientious when caring for another persons pet, seeing that she understands what it means to have a pet be a family member. She also trained Margarita how to sit and wait for her food by making a game out of it. She makes sure to cuddle Margarita since she is, after all, a lap dog, and had no problem having Margarita sleep with her while I was away. Margarita had no accidents since Kat made sure to take her out on her walks and do her duties. Overall Katherine is a responsible pet sitter, and I would highly recommend her to take care of your special pup (or cat, she has helped me with that too).
