Ratings and reviews
Katherine did a great job taking care of my babies! She was awesome to work with.
We have never been away from our pups for as long as this trip, and Katherine was amazing! Our two love her, and are so loved while we are gone, and they are 'right at home' with her and we LOVE that. Thank you, we will definitely work with you again!! :)
Katherine is great with my dogs because she is, first, a great person. She is honest and trustworthy which are the two highest qualities necessary for having some one come to your house to care for your animals when you are not home. Love her and will be a repeat cuatomer!
Katherine is wonderful! She is very professional and we would definitely use her again. She knows dogs of every type and works with your dog's personality. She comes to meet you and the dogs first and listens to what you need her to do. She was communicative while we were gone and sent pictures. GREAT job!!
Whenever looking for someone, you always want someone who will treat your animals the same or better than you do. That is exactly who I found in Katherine. I had to run out of town for a couple of days and at the last minute Katherine came over to meet my dogs and agreed to be their housesitter for the weekend. She took pictures and provided regular updates to ensure I had no worries. My dogs loved her and I can tell when I returned they were loved. I appreciate the help and will definitely utilize her services again.
Kate took such great care of our pups! They have vastly different personalities and she was great with them both. I would ask her to watch them again for sure!
