Detroiter, Dog & Kitty Lover 😻🐾

Pet care experience

I've taken care of my own dogs and my friends and families animals anytime they need. I will send you pictures of your animals to set your mind at ease and so you can be sure they are receiving the love and care you would expect from a sitter!

Kathryn watched our two English Bulldogs at our house while we were out of town. Did a great job with them (and all the hyper specific directions we left behind) and most importantly sent plenty of pictures of our two boys playing and lounging around the house. Was very communicative and took great care of our place as well. Would absolutely book again!

I can't say enough about how wonderful and welcoming Kathryn (Kat), Ben and their dog Moona were to my dog Goldie during her 10-day stay. Goldie may have had a better time at their home than I did on my vacation! They kept Goldie active and comfortable with walks, playtime, toys, feeding, and snuggling. Their dog Moona is a sweet and easygoing playmate -- a perfect fit for Goldie. Their home has lots of cozy places for naps, so many chew toys and tuggies, a nice yard to play, and close to parks for great walks. Kat was very communicative, sending photos and videos daily, together with short notes about Goldie's day. I am so grateful to Kat, Ben, and Moona for taking great care of Goldie and giving me peace of mind so I could fully enjoy my time away. Many, many thanks! Highly recommended!

Thank you for a lovely stay for my baby! This wonderful couple have a beautiful home, and are just as sweet as they can be. My Twinkle was happy to be dropped off, no worries, and she was in great shape when she came home. And the photos! Kathryn might want to consider going pro with her photos. All in all, a beautiful experience, and we will return!
