This is the second time we’ve used Kathleen. She takes very good care of our senior dog. I highly recommend her.

Kathleen was an amazing sitter. She loves animals and we felt very comfortable with her staying and watching Maisie and Wilma. She was very fast with communication and kept us updated when we were away. We would highly recommend and will use her services again!
