I am a second year medical student, and I spend the majority of my time studying at home with my dog. We only have a few mandatory activities per week and my house is located close to UAB, so I have a lot of flexibility.

Thanks Katherine and John Allen for taking such good care of our sweet Looe on short notice. We contacted them and they were able to take in our family pup during an emergency situation. He had a blast and was so tired when he got home !

Katherine was very easy to work with and was so sweet to Hazel when she was nervous to be away from home. We really appreciated that we were able to relax and know she was in good hands on our 10 days trip!
