3. Katie R.
“Katie was great with my kitten, she took such good care of her and I know our little girl loved playtime. She sent lots of pictures and updates as well, so it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing someone was able to check on her. Would definitely recommend Katie, who was great with my cat, but also very flexible and extremely professional.”
