My dog Jameson had such a good time with Katie, her family, and their golden. He was so tired when he came home which is the most amazing indicator that he had a blast. Thank you again! We will definitely be rebooking!!

Katie watched my dog Zipper when she lived in CA. She always updated me with photos throughout the day & truly has a passion for dogs! I always had a peace of mind when Zipper was in her & Zipper would get so excited to see her, which is always a good sign!!

Not only have I been blessed to see Katie’s bond between her and her own pets, but I got to see her bond amazingly with my shy pet at home. The most loving dog mom there has ever lived.

Kaitlyn is truly the best when it comes to caring for my dogs! Every time Finn and Honey stay with her, I have total peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving, capable hands. She’s amazing with them—attentive, kind, and clearly someone who genuinely loves animals. I never have to worry when they’re at her house. She always keeps me updated with pictures and little notes, which I really appreciate. Kaitlyn goes above and beyond, and I honestly couldn’t recommend her more as a dog walker or sitter!
