Kathy was very reliable and amazing with Arcas. She kept us updated throughout the stay and took great care of him. Thank you Kathy!

Kathy was absolutely wonderful! She was really flexible with timing and meet & greet, and Fitz took to her right away. He's never been looked after by someone he'd never met before and the pictures and updates she sent showed just how comfortable and in his element he was with her. He likes to have someone around most of the time, so it coinciding with Kathy's study week was really lucky and Fitz was the happiest cat to have someone new to demand attention from when they're trying to work! Kathy was reassuring in knowing to look out for any signs of stress or illness, and kept a close eye on him for that, and her written and photo updates were really lovely to receive. I'd highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for someone to housesit and catsit!

Kathy is a really great sitter! She looked after my cat Daisy for 2 weeks last Easter and was fantastic. She sent me photos everyday so I know Daisy was doing great and felt totally at ease. She’s reliable and caring, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
