Katelyn took great care of my cat and made me feel worry free! Loved having a meet and greet first so we could both feel comfortable. She even offered to get my mail and water my plants, too.

Katelyn has been so lovely to work with! She’s very flexible and does daily visits every week to let my little doggie walk and have a potty break. She has been super flexible with my constant schedule changes every week. She always makes sure the schedule stays consistent and changes things when needed. I highly recommend!

Katie was amazing! Our cat can be a little anxious and apprehensive towards strangers but she did so well with her. She made sure to send us updates so we could feel at ease while away on vacation. She even left a little goodie bag for our cat Jinx! Katie is amazing, i’d definitely recommend her.

Katie, was great! Our indoor kitty was happy and so were our outdoor plants in this 100 degree weather! She takes care of it all. We can relax when we're away that she is taking care of everything.

Katelyn arrived early and was very attentive towards Chip. She made sure he got his break from the kennel. Katelyn also updated me throughout the visit.

Katelyn did a good job with our cat and is always willing to do a little extra. She watered four flowerpots outside the front door and kept them alive for me during this heat wave. Thank you so much!

When first meeting a pet, I like to know what their personality is like. I want to know how I can make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. I also want to know what sort of things they like to do for fun! I also need to know what kind of medical background they have, and what medications they take. The more information about a pet I can gather, the more I am able to make sure that everything goes great!
