Ratings and reviews
Kate is just wonderful with pets! Our kitty loved the care that Kate provided. Highly recommend!!
Kate has been doing drop-ins for Lyra 3x a week for over a year, and we can't recommend her highly enough! She was so flexible as Lyra's routine evolved over that time -- from crating for most of the day with lunch and out-time, to eventually free-roaming in the mornings and going into her crate for an afternoon nap. Kate rolled with these changes without missing a beat. She's also great with Penny, handling her quirks with patience and care.Kate is incredibly communicative and prompt, and clearly loves our dogs (and they love her right back!) Having Kate in our corner has given us so much peace of mind. Lyra has actually just graduated from needing regular drop-ins when we're both working away from home but we'd recommend Kate to anyone in half a heartbeat!
Kate was great with our 2 kitties! :)
Kate is very responsive and offers clear and detailed communication. She inece fast friends with our dog who is cautious in warming up to new people.
Great communication, punctual, made fast friends with my anxious dog.
Kate takes fantastic care of our cats every time she sees them!

- A few things that I always want to know about pets ahead of time: - Who are their emergency contacts and their vet information? - Are they trained for off-leash adventures? - What are your house rules? (are shoes allowed in the house? are they allowed on furniture?) - What are their favorite toys? Do they have names? (very important) - How are they with cats, small/large dogs, children, strangers, mail carriers, etc? - What are their quirks? What are some things about them that make them unique?
