Our dog loves Kathleen. She is warm and kind and takes great care of our dog. Sends pics all the time. We wouldn’t trust him with anyone else other than Kathleen.

Kathleen was awesome! She was very communicative throughout caring for my kitties, punctual and very respectful of my space and care for my babies while I was away. She was such a great sitter and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you!!

Kathleen was very attentive to my dog Chuey during his stay with her. She sent me several photos during his stay. Kathleen is responsive to messages and provides good feedback of how Chuey’s stay went.

Kathleen was great with Bao! She has the perfect space for him to relax or run around and have fun. She was very attentive to him and mindful of his anxiety while being in a new place. We got constant updates and when we picked him up she gave a full run down of his stay and temperament as this was the first time staying with her. We would definitely book with Kathleen again!
