Katie has been really responsive and my cat seemed to really enjoy hanging out with her! I would love to book with her again.

Katie was an excellent sitter, and able to coax our shy cat out from under the bed during visits! Looking forward to using her again the next time we’re out of town!

Katie took excellent care of our two older cats while we were away! She administered Milo’s meds as instructed and obviously spent time/played with them, as both cats seemed relaxed and happy when we got back. She also kept our place clean and neat. Highly recommend and hope to have her back during future travels!
