Services we don't offer
*Dog walking is not a regular part of our visit. Because we take extra care and time to do things right during our visits, we don't believe you should try to squeeze a walk into a 30 minute visit. We will play and run with your animals in the security of your yard. We will walk for an additional charge since it will lengthen the time of our visit by approximately 20 minutes. *Large scale watering like vegetable gardens and outdoor plants will include an extra charge based on the size/request.

Animal & House Sitting
Absolutely wonderful... This was our first time to use this type of service. We were on vacation for two weeks. We have four 6-month-old kittens and weren't sure how this was going to go. Kathy and her family were just wonderful. They came in twice a day, took time to get to know each of the kittens, played with them, cleaned THREE litter boxes every day, and made sure twice a day we had a written update with pictures and/or videos of their shenanigans. We can't say enough how caring Kathy was with our little kittens. We will definitely be using her services again and totally recommended Royally Spoiled Pets.
Response from Royally Spoiled Pet Services
"Wow! thank you so much for this outstanding review! I can't even begin to tell you how much we enjoyed playing with, and getting to know the kittens! They were so much fun and so playful. We looked forward to each visit and were sad when the sit ended. I am really looking forward to watching them grow up. - Kathy."

Animal & House Sitting
Kathy and her team of helpers are absolutely the best. I have been using Royally Spoiled for over a year now. I travel for work and often have long work days. Kathy and her family take care of my house full of dogs -- four of my own and various foster dogs -- and they have become family for my dogs. I have two very scared dogs but they are not scared of Kathy and her family. They love them and look forward to their stays. Kathy also provides texts with updates from every visit including pics. I hate traveling because I hate leaving my dogs -- but knowing they are so well-cared for and genuinely loved makes all the difference. Kathy is also very competent in handling any medical issues that may arise and she always goes out of her way in the best interest of the animals. It is no small feat taking care of a house full of dogs, but not only are they cared for-- I think my dogs may just have more fun with Kathy and family and may just be possibly looking forward to my absence.

Animal & House Sitting
The puppies absolutely love, love, love Kathy and her family! They are very happy when I get home to see them and they are so very well cared for in my absence. The puppies are so excited to show me their new "tricks" they have learned! Kathy and her family have an amazing bond with animals and even though she says she is not a certified trainer, my puppies love learning new skills with her. Most of all, I can tell by the way they are so happy and calm when I return that they have thoroughly enjoyed their time with Royally Spoiled Pet Services and may, in fact, wish I were gone a little longer!
If you want A+ pet care/sitting and you want someone who will not only love your pet like you do, but give them excellent care then you should call Royally Spoiled Pet Services. Kathy and her family have taught me so much about puppies and dogs, such as behavioral cues, training, feeding etc. Kathy leaves a detailed note about each visit and sends you a picture daily-you really feel like you are right there with your pet even though you can't be.
Kathy thinks of everything before you need to leave your pet, so you are assured of no worries. She takes the time for a meet and greet with you and your animal before you schedule your leave. I was so impressed at all the caring and knowledge Kathy and her daughter showed regarding the upcoming care of my puppies!
Probably the best compliment I can give is that my husband and I looked at each other on our first trip away from the puppies, and both of us said we "slept great-all through the night without any worries about the puppies!"

Animal & House Sitting
My dogs love Kathy. This is a big statement because I adopted the misfits of the shelter who don't do well with strangers. In the past year I have used Kathy's services seven times. She writes a daily report on her duties and the mood of the dogs. She texts a photo daily of their walks or play. I know my pets and home are in Royally Spoiled excellent care. I highly recommend her.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I really appreciate your support of our services and love your babies Sally and Bella. Looking forward to seeing them again soon! - Kathy."

This is the BEST pet service I have ever used! My mind is always at ease when I am gone knowing that Kathy and her duaghter, Caroline,are checking on my cats. It is obvious they love what they do and are very passionate about animals. I would recommend them to anyone!

Animal & House Sitting
Kathy and her family were such a blessing! I found her online before we went on vacation last month. My mother-in-law has taken care of my 3 small dogs in the past, but, due to a recent illness, she was not able to take care of them. I was very hesitant when i started looking for alternative care for my babies. After reviewing several sitters in the area, I chose Kathy. Her reviews from other clients were extremely positive, and not only that, she is certified in Pet first aid and CPR, as well as being a registered pet sitter with CPPS. Having those certifications helped make my decision hands down.
I will definitely be using Kathy in the future. She also sent text messages and pictures at every visit so we could see how our little angels were doing while we were away. And Kathy will also visit as many or as few times a day as you feel your pet(s) need to let them out for bathroom breaks, or just to check on them and give them hugs and cuddles. I highly recommend Royally Spoiled Pet Services. They definitely live up to the name :)

Kathy and her family were lovely. This was the first time I had used a pet sitter and am glad I chose this over boarding them. My two dogs have never been boarded so this was a wonderful alternative. She gave me daily updates with pictures and I was happy that I could enjoy our trip without worrying about them. The daily write up was great. Happy to have found her and I will definitely use Royally Spoiled Pet Services again!

Kathy and her family our fabulous. They care about the dogs, take the time to do what is needed and make sure that the dogs are comfortable. I have one dog that will often not come in the house when people are here, but after getting to know Kathy and her family, she warmed up (much earlier than she has with other people). Kathy takes the time to text, send photos and keep you updated along the way so you can relax and know your pets are well-cared for. I would highly recommend.

Animal & House Sitting
My dogs don't do well at a boarding facility and keeping them in their home environment is preferable. Kathy sent text photos and updates every day - what peace of mind that brings! We forgot to tell her about the regular lawn service and she called us to make sure they were authorized to be on property - that impressed us because it definitely wasn't in her scope of responsibility. A "Daily Visit Checklist" was waiting for us on the counter when we returned home, detailing everything that occurred during each visit from treats, food, water changes, and types of interactions (played fetch with toys, cuddled on the sofa, etc.). Kathy's service is wonderful solution to the times you must travel without your pets and we'll be calling her again.

"Thank you for the wonderful review. We can't wait to sit for you again, it was so much fun getting to know and bonding with your beautiful pups."

Came home to find both dogs safe and sound. The write up they left was very comprehensive and informative. I will definitely be using them again.
