We'd never boarded our dog, Danny Boy, so we were very apprehensive about using Rover (he usually stays with family). But Katie made DB feel very comfortable and kept us regularly updated. He had a great time and bonded with Katie's pups and the other dogs she was boarding. Thank you to Katie for taking such great care of Danny Boy! We will certainly be using her again!

The only sitter I’ll ever leave my old boy with again 😍🐾👍 Kathleen is so genuinely warm… I now have an elderly dog with a lot of medication and pain issues and she took superb care of him as if he were her own!!!! I got tons of updates and pictures and I always felt that he was in the best care!! I love the fact that her and her husband work from home so they’re always home with the animals❤️❤️ I cannot say enough good things about Kathleen. We’ve been using her for years now and she has always come through for last second dates…. Simply the best thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you do.❤️❤️

Kathleen is an absolute gem!! She took care of Maple and exceeded all my expectations. Kathleen's love, attention, and professionalism made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Maple was happy and well cared for in her hands. I highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter :)

Thank you so much! This was my first time leaving Dallas with anyone who wasn’t family! Kathleen was happy to let me meet her prior to booking which helped ease my mind. Throughout his stay she kept me updated and sent me pictures! I am so so thankful!
