Kate was great with our very old, but still energetic little guy. Lots of updates and pictures made it an easy time away.

Kate was so great! She was communicative and put us at ease with lots of updates and photos. We’re very lucky to have found her. Stella had a wonderful time!

Kate was amazing! She made me feel so at ease leaving Goose with her. She sent plenty of photos and updates - Goose looked like he was having a ball

Kate is the best! It was hard to be away from our baby for this trip, but she was in great hands with Kate and her family. They were wonderful with Buki and made her feel safe and relaxed. It’s a comfort to know she has a loving place to stay when needed and is taken care of by a true pro. Thank you again, Kate!

Kate was so great with Jack and he seemed so happy to spend the week with her and her husband. We'll definitely be back!

We are so relieved and grateful to have found Kate. Our pup Buki has some special issues, and we were very anxious about leaving her with someone else for the first time, but Kate took wonderful care of her and eased our worries. She clearly knows, understands, and loves animals. Thank you so much, Kate, for welcoming our baby into your home, and for keeping her safe, healthy, and happy!
