I have known Katy for many years and have had numerous opportunities over that time to leave my pets in her care. Sometimes she housesits as well and it has always been a huge relief when she is available because I can go away and completely relax knowing that not only are my pets happy with her, but they are safe and well cared for as if they were here own. When she comes over my 3 year old Basenji, Etta, goes nuts dancing around and singing her little songs of delight. My older dog, Willie, who is almost 17, can't hear anymore but he wags his curly tail and makes his best effort to get up and greet her. Katy is responsible, kind and loving and I am happy to recommend her.
