We love Katie! As a new dog owner, we were so anxious about leaving our pup, Lulu, for the first time. When we met Katie, our fears were instantly calmed. She is a kind and outgoing individual who loves, loves, loves, animals and Lulu immediately took to her. We have now left Lulu with her twice for extended periods of time. While we're gone we get updates and if she has any concerns or is unsure about something (diet, training, play etc) she always sends us a message to check on it. She is immensely responsible and clearly loves taking care of animals. She also seems to have that magic energy that animals respond to- in our case an instant sense of trust and respect between her and Lulu. I recommend her whole heartedly. And as a bonus, upon your return, I swear your house will be cleaner than it was before you left! She is immaculate and you can't even tell she was there- except for, of course, how well your pet was clearly taken care of.
