Kate is absolutely incredible. She took exceptional care of my French Bulldog, Charley, who has special medical needs and requires a bit of extra attention. As a vet tech, she knew exactly what to look for and made me feel completely at ease the entire time. Charley was relaxed, happy, and clearly well‑loved while staying with her. I highly recommend Kate to anyone looking for a truly trustworthy and skilled sitter. I’m more than willing to speak with anyone about my experience.

Kate was amazing with my dog, Buddy! I always get nervous leaving him somewhere new but Kate made me feel so comfortable about it and was great with communication. Buddy came home happy and tired! Thank you, Kate!
