"Katie was a great pet sitter for our cat. He's typically very shy but he warmed up to her quickly. She's trustworthy, communicates well, and even sent photos of our buddy while we were away. We highly recommend her!"

I have experience sitting and caring for cats and dogs. I ensure the fur babies are fed, hydrated, played with, given lots of attention, and walked. I have always had dogs of my own, so they have a special place in my heart. I have minimal experience with cats but I have cared for them, as well.
