Very great reviews, and Katherine was amazing. Communication was fantastic from the start, we had a great connection right away. She’s got a girly, fun,spiritual energy that made everything easy. We were able to talk before we made our decision, and she gave us her phone number so we could stay in touch. She had amazing energy the whole time and texted us every day while we were abroad, which gave us so much peace of mind. We just loved her energy, how kind she was, and how she made us feel comfortable leaving our dog with her. We’re so grateful for how great she took care of our pup. When we came back to pick her up, she seemed happy and recharged, like she’d had a great time outside. Highly recommend!

Katherine was a pleasure to book! At first I was a little hesitant bringing my cat to a new environment for the weekend but Katherine was very sweet and communicative throughout the whole process. I was updated with pictures and she was always quick to respond if I had any questions. When I went to pick up Moose I saw that he had made himself very comfortable at her home and all her babies were also very welcoming when I arrived. I will definitely be bringing Moose back as I can see he was very happy and well taken care of.
