Kate H has been a wonderful pet sitter for my two rescue pups. They are usually slow to trust but took to her right away. She performed house-sitting duties as well as taking care of the puppers and spent quality time with them in addition to their essential care. I have known Kate in her capacity as a musician/singer/songwriter for years but she wears many hats (quite literally- she has an amazing hat collection) and house/pet sitting is one of them. She sent photos of my girls while I was traveling for business and they looked so content and happy. It makes my life so much easier as a dog mom to know that my girls will get loving care in their own home when I can't be here and I know I can count on Kate to maintain a level head if any emergencies arise and make good decisions. I recommend her unreservedly for loving and reliable care for your furry family members. I know, from friends, that she also gives excellent care for feline-Americans, as well.
