I am so thrilled to have discovered Kats & Pooches! Erika and her team are skilled, friendly, organized, and clearly love animals and have a passion for caring for them. It's always hard to leave my sweet cat alone when I travel, but since finding Erika, I don't stress about going out of town like I used to do. Kats & Pooches is very dependable--I receive reports and photos after every visit, and my care and feeding instructions are always followed. I feel very safe leaving my pet with Erika!

My family appreciated the care that Erika gave to all of our pets while we were away. This was our first time using her company. We had a dog sitter once before and it did not work out so well. This was a completely different experience. The meet and greet gave us comfort in knowing that all of our animals would be well taken care of. Throughout our trip, she was responsive. One of our dogs has a few medical issues, but Erika was not phased and handled him with the care we hoped for.

Details: Dog • 3 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Changing litter or bedding • Providing exercise • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

I want to thank Erika and her mom, Nikita for taking great care of my puppy, Coco while I was away for 4 days. I felt at peace the entire time I was away. They continued Coco's potty training, took her for walks; taught her to walk up and down the stairs without a leash. They sent me videos of Coco's progress. Most importantly I arrived home to a happy puppy and my home was properly cared for. If you're looking for someone that will love your pet and be at ease while traveling, look no further. I definitely will be using their services again for other upcoming travel plans and for additional training.

I never worried about my kitties while Kats and Pooches were caring for them. I got a full report and pictures every evening, so I was secure in the knowledge that they were fine. It made my time away much more comfortable. I will be sure to hire them again when I travel away from home.
