Wow ..I was super nervous about our 10 day trip to France because our in and out cat Norman is a handful. Found Katarina and she did an amazing job coming over twice a day plus courageously kept Norman inside most of the time. She kept up with all the food liter and chores I asked of her plus spoiled Norman with lots of love. Will for sure ask for her help again. Highly recommended

We never have a single worry when Kat is with our animals. We’ve learned so much from her honest and constructive feedback and I love how much empathy she has for reactive dogs. We couldn’t recommend her more!

Kat was absolutely wonderful! We’ve only let one person watch our dog (2 years ago) and that ended up being a nightmare experience so we were really hesitant to try someone new. Kat instantly made us comfortable in our meet and greet and you can tell she knows a lot about dogs. It takes our dog a while to warm up to people but Sachi instantly felt comfortable with Kat. She treated our dog as if she was family, potentially even better than we treat her, hehe. Kat watched our dog Sachi in our home for 3 nights and 4 days. I love how Kat maintained our boundaries and rules while also remaining playful and loving. We loved getting the multiple updates throughout the day as it helped us become comfortable and stay in the loop. Kat was overly communicative and she really eased our anxiety of leaving our girl. She was also very respectful of our home and neighborhood. We will 100% be using Kat again! Thank you so much!

Katarina was so communicative with her activities with the pups! She’s also very aware of their personalities right away.

WE LOVE KAT!!!!! If I could give a million stars I would!!!!! We've had Kat stay at our home and watch our fur babies while out of town on 2 occasions. She is such a sweet woman, I can't speak more highly of her character. She's incredibly knowledgeable, patient, loving and kind. Our puppy Penelope and bunny Daisy adore her and so do we!
