House Sitting • juil. 18, 2026

It's always been an excellent experience with Kate! She loves Mickey as her own which showed when i returned home to a calm & happy dog. She kept in touch while i was away & adjusted his needs to the HOT weather. I felt at ease knowing Kate is taking care of Mickey as I do. As a bonus, I returned to a tidier home than I left 😊 i hope to book Kathryn again in the future

This was my first time using Rover and I felt so fortunate to find Katharine! Her calm demeanour and knowledge about special needs dogs made her a perfect fit for my rescue dog, Parker, who can be slow to warm up to new people. Parker connected to Katharine right away and I was able to breathe a sigh of relief going on vacation and knowing Parker was in loving, trustworthy hands.

Our pup Sully absolutely loved his time with Katharine. This was his second board and we will certainly be using her going forward. Great communication!

Second time Silver has had a staycation with Katharine. She remembered from the last time and ran up the steps to the front door quite excited. This time was a two week stay and another great experience! Great communication and care for Silver. Will definitely book again
