I can't sing Kat's praises enough. She is communicative, responds quickly, and thorough as heck!! She really goes the extra mile. I am a nervous pet mom but feel at ease knowing she's taking care of my boy!

Kathy has has been our #1 sitter for our two crazy boys. We had always been very reliable both for drop-in visits and house sitting. She will continue to be our first go-to sitter. 🐕 ❤️

Couldn't recommend Kathy enough! She took great care of my cat and my home. She was super communicative, laid-back, and sent us lots of pictures while we were away :) We definitely want her to sit for us again!!

Could not ask for a better sitter for our pups. We have used Kathy for both house-sitting and drop-in and we’ll definitely be using her again. Our boys quickly warmed up to her and she was so patient and accommodating to our fur babies and the care instructions we laid out. Highly recommend!!
