I was lucky enough to come across Kate to care for my two 5lb yorkies. Some may say their personalities may be difficult to manage, but Kate did a wonderful job catering to their needs. For example, one of my dogs (Frankie) will not go on a leash and has anxiety (silly, I know), but Kate was able to watch him carefully and ensure no danger came to him in her care while outside. In addition the other dog (Wrigley) requires a lot of attention and even sleeps under the covers. Kate was like a surrogate dog-mom and took care of him as if he were her own. The care and attention to detail was greatly appreciated while I was on vacation. There was clear communication with Kate, which relieved any worries I may have had and allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation. She would be the first person I would go to for future dog-sitting needs.
