From the first interaction to the last goodbye, Kate was fabulous! We felt so comfortable leaving our 2 cats with her for the week. She is truly a gem. Would not hesitate to book her again!

Kate was a wonderful dog sitter. She was very responsive and very easy to communicate with. She sent lots of photos and updates while I was away and it made me very comfortable knowing my dog was in her hands while I was gone.

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received! From the moment I met Kate, I felt completely at ease leaving my pup in her hands. She was attentive, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. Throughout the stay, she kept me updated with messages and photos, which really reassured me that my dog was happy and well cared for. When I came back, my dog was relaxed, healthy, and clearly had a great time. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again!

I couldn't be happier with the care Kate provided. I felt at ease leaving my pointer poodle with her as she provided me with updates throughout. Great communication and very reliable. Highly recommend and will be booking with her again next time!

Character Testimonial for Katherine (Kate) Gustafson Katherine “Kate” Gustafson is a person of exceptional character, integrity, and quiet strength. She approaches everything she does with thoughtfulness, reliability, and a genuine care for others. Kate is the kind of person who listens first, acts with intention, and follows through without needing recognition. She brings calm to challenging situations, treats people with fairness and respect, and consistently earns the trust of those around her. Kate’s honesty and strong moral compass guide her decisions, and she holds herself to high standards while remaining compassionate and understanding of others. She is dependable, hardworking, and generous with her time and energy, always willing to step in when help is needed. Beyond her capabilities, it is Kate’s kindness, humility, and sense of responsibility that truly set her apart. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with or know Kate can be confident they are engaging with someone of sound judgment, strong values, and genuine character. I recommend her without hesitation.

Kate was so awesome when we had her pet sit our 3 dogs and 2 cats! She was attentive to their needs, played with them lots, kept us updated on how they were doing, and went above and beyond to make sure that they were well taken care of and loved. Highly recommend her for any of your pet needs!
