So grateful to Kathy for this last minute booking. Kathy was so kind and understanding with my boy Timmy, who has struggled with separation anxiety. Her sweet pup Marley is welcoming and happy to meet new friends. I will definitely keep them in mind for the future!

Kathy has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Muffin. She is so kind, attentive, and so sweet with her. Muffin is a rescue and can be shy and slow to warm up to new people but Kathy has been nothing but patient, gentle, and loving from day one. It truly means so much to have someone who understands that and takes the time to make her feel safe and comfortable. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares and that makes all the difference. I would highly recommend her services!

I haven’t seen Potato this excited about a dogsitter in quite some time, so I’ll definitely be bringing her back again soon. Kathy and her husband took such wonderful care of Potato while I was at work for the week.
