I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kate—she was truly incredible. She cared for our dog for a full week, and during that time, some unexpected health issues came up and she handled everything with such grace, patience, and compassion. From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in kind and capable hands. When the medical issues started, she didn’t hesitate—she communicated clearly, stayed calm, and made sure he got exactly the care and attention he needed. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was with someone so responsible and genuinely caring. We’re so grateful for her thoughtfulness and the extraordinary care she gave. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for not just a sitter, but someone who will truly care for your dog’s well-being.

Sassy and Bender had a great time with Kate and her family. They got along great with their dog Lucky. Kate sent daily updates about the dogs and also sent pictures! Would definitely use her again in the future if we need it.

Kate is amazing! I have a giant breed dog and she has special needs. Kate, along with her dogs, both took such good care of Luna. I could tell Luna felt at home when we went to pick her up and she has been passed out ever since we got back. Last, but not least, she is very flexible, responsible and provided updates all weekend.

Kate, thank you so much for watching Jax over the long weekend earlier this month. He was so happy and had fun with your dog's which was of course perfect! We ejoyed the photos you sent of him running around with his typical smile. And laying down on the top of your couch like the cat-dog he is!

Kate took such wonderful and loving care of my Delilah while boarding in her lovely home. Delilah has special needs due to severe IBD (diet and medicines), and with Kate's vet tech experience and caring personality, Delilah had no issues. On a different note, Delilah had some separation anxieties at night. Instead of being worried about her own comfort, Kate was only worried about Delilah and her feelings. A true lover of dogs. Kate has 2 other well behaved, and well socialized dogs that got along great with Delilah. My dog got quite attached to Teddy while having a great time running in her large fenced in yard! I recommend her highly and we will definitely bring our dog to her for boarding every time she is available. My deepest thanks Kate. You are a gem!
