I’m so grateful for the amazing care kat gave my dog! It’s incredibly hard to find someone in Florida who is truly trustworthy, and you exceeded all my expectations. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and loved while I was away gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much!

I had to find a sitter very last minute due to an unexpected conflict, and Kat truly came through for me when I was in a bind. She responded quickly, was extremely understanding of my situation, and immediately put me at ease. Her communication was excellent—she sent regular updates and photos throughout the day, which really helped calm my anxiety and let me know my pup was happy and well cared for. Kat’s building was a huge bonus—it’s extremely dog-friendly and has the cutest pups lol There was a private dog run right along the water that she was able to take my sweet dolly to,and a gorgeous park just across the street. It was clear from the updates that my dog was getting plenty of outdoor time and stimulation. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better setup. Reliability is everything when trusting someone with your pet, and Kat exceeded expectations. She was warm, professional, and totally dependable. I would absolutely book with her again 💖

Kat did agree to take care of my dog for a week, but only after creating significant last-minute drama and nearly cancelling on me. She expressed concerns about my dog barking, even though I had already reassured her during the meet-and-greet that he barks like any normal dog and doesn’t do so excessively. It was unclear what she expected—perhaps a dog that meows instead? She also mentioned that dogs weren’t allowed in her building, which raised the question of why she offered pet-sitting services in the first place. Additionally, she reported an issue after accepting the booking and after I had already been charged. While she ultimately followed through with the agreed week of care, this was by far the most stressful and disappointing pet-sitting experience I’ve had, especially as I was overseas at the time. Reliability is the bare minimum I expect from a sitter.
