She was amazing! She was so caring and thoughtful when taking care of our animals. We gave detailed instructions and she not only followed them but made sure to reach out if any questions arose. She was sending us updates regularly with photos. Overall wonderful experience I would recommend her to anyone and felt truly at ease trusting her with my animals.

Katherine did a fantastic job walking my dog, Zeus! He’d get so excited seeing her walk up the driveway when she arrived for walks!! She been walking him for about two months now, always on time and ready to go! Zeus always got back from walks ready to nap, which is very impressive!! He’s a very high energy dog, even at his older age, so I know Katherine did a great job!! Could not recommend her enough!

katherine did a great job taking care of my three dogs! They all have specific feeding schedules and times that can be difficult to manage, and she handled it better than any dog sitter I’ve ever had. She always made sure to keep me updated all day with plenty of (almost professional) photos of my dogs (some of which are definitely going on the Christmas card). I couldn’t be grateful enough for katherine , will be going back , and I cannot recommend her enough!!

10/10! Katherine took wonderful care of my two pups when boarding them. She was super accommodating with our drop off and pickup, always willing to put in that extra effort. She sent so many cute pictures of them all through the day, with lots of updates and activities for them to do. I could not recommend her enough; she was wonderful, and we will definitely be go back!
