Katherine was terrific! We needed a weekend sitter for our three high-maintenance pups, and Katherine made it a worry-free stay. She was communicative, punctual, and very responsive, and sent us photos and updates throughout the weekend. It was clear that the dogs were comfortable and enjoying her company! We returned home to a well-cared for house and three happy dogs. 🐾 I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Katherine again in the future!

Katherine went above and beyond when house sitting while I went on a vacation! During the trip, I received daily check-ins with photos of the pets, and she was very responsive as well as respectful of all our preferences. When we returned, our pets were happy and our house was spotless. Katherine provided priceless peace of mind that the home and babies were safe while I was traveling, and I would absolutely book her services again next time I leave town. Thank you, Katherine! I can't recommend you highly enough!

Katherine was great! She did a wonderful job watching over our house and our dog Brandy. She walked her everyday, dealt with a failing air conditioner in the heat, and sent numerous pictures. She was responsible, friendly and reliable. Thank you Katherine!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or dietary restrictions and I will certainly adhere to them. Sticking to a routine can be very important for certain pets and I am happy to adjust to theirs.
