I highly recommend Kathleen as a sitter. She & her family were very kind, making Púca feel comfortable and at home from the start. She sent me regular updates with photos, both on walks and relaxing at home, which meant a lot. He is nervous around new people but settled in here very quickly. I felt reassured he was well looked after and most importantly, Púca was relaxed and happy coming home 🥰 will 100% be bringing Púca back! Thank you Kathleen❤️
