Easy drop off and pick up. Very accommodating and flexible with times allowing for 5:15am drop off while we were in town to see my daughter’s BMT graduation. Consistent communication and pics/videos throughout the day. Would trust again anytime!

Finding Katie was a true blessing! Boarding can be stressful but I never worry for a second when we send Frito to stay with her!! ♥️

Katie took care of our two senior dogs, Parker and Ruby, and she was outstanding. She was gentle, patient, and clearly experienced with older dogs who need extra understanding. When Parker unfortunately became sick during his stay, Katie handled everything with empathy and strong communication, and she supported us through an extremely difficult time. Afterward, she went above and beyond by sending Ruby home with a stuffed dog because Ruby was missing Parker—an incredibly thoughtful gesture that meant a lot to our family. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough for anyone looking for a compassionate sitter, especially for senior pets.
