What Our Clients Say
We're Recommended by Local Veterinarians!
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If I could give more stars I would!!!! The best pet sitting company ever! So professional, loving, trustworthy and reliable!!! My cat loves when we leave!"
Dr. Kim Bhuta - DVM
Overland Veterinary Clinic
"I have had the K-9 Kats pet sitters take care of my 2 cats on multiple occasions over the past few years, & each time, they have been the most reliable & trustworthy people that my kitties happen to adore. They provide comprehensive services, including the obvious husbandries, but also individualized play time, as well as daily photographs of each pet. After every pre-planned visit, I eagerly await their texts & download their gorgeous pictures of each kitty. In addition to all that, they are also diligent to check for anything potentially worrisome, and they will reliably reach out with questions if any should arise. I trust this amazing group of pet sitters with my cats & appreciate everything they have done for us over the years. If you are looking for pet sitters, you should hunt no further & place your trust in K-9 Kats."
Dr. Ghislaine Switz - DVM / VCA Animal Hospital
