“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter for our Oreo! From the very beginning, she was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs. What truly set her apart was the daily updates—every day we received texts with photos and little notes about how Oreo was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Oreo looked so happy and well cared for in every picture! It was clear she treated him like one of her own. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pup. Thank you again Katherine for everything!”

I needed same day care and the stay would be for ten days. She immediately said yes and accepted to take care of the cat. She provided daily updates without me having to request them, lots of photos and lots of videos. She notice how scared the cat was and went out of her way to get her a cat condo so she could feel safe. By the end of the ten days, Bobby was super comfortable and happy, as was I! Hire her, she'll take such great care of your pet”
