Safety, trust & environment

Because of the pets of my own, I cannot offer boarding at my home. However, I’ve gone through the process of finding a dog and catsitter myself and will do everything to ensure you feel confident their needs are being met and their normal schedule is being adhered to.

Katherine was amazing!! Plenty of updates during the day and kept our little Rosy entertained while we were out. A real gem of a dog sitter. We can't thank you enough.

Katherine stay with our two cats for a week and was wonderful. She was very professional and communicative. We got regular updates and they were cuddling with her by the first night. Highly recommend.

Katherine is truly exceptional. This was my third time hiring her, and after a full two-week stay, I can say with complete confidence that she is one of the most trustworthy and caring people I’ve ever had watch my dog, River. The biggest thing I look for is how River feels, and she lights up when she sees Katherine. I even caught a moment on my Furbo of them reuniting, and it was so clear how happy River was. What stood out just as much is that the feeling is mutual. You can tell Katherine genuinely loves spending time with her. While I was away, River didn’t just do fine, she was thriving. Katherine took her to the park multiple times a day, kept her active and engaged, and made sure her routine stayed consistent. River has a more involved diet, and when I ran out of prepared food, Katherine stepped in and cooked for her so her nutrition stayed stable. That level of care and initiative meant everything to me. She was also incredible with medication. Some of River’s meds had changed since the last time, and I wasn’t there to walk her through it this time, but she handled everything perfectly, including the ones that require a more specific administration technique. I came home to a clean apartment, a happy dog, and complete peace of mind knowing River had been in the best hands. I will continue to hire Katherine over and over again as long as she’s available. She is someone I trust deeply, honestly more than most people, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
