We have used Kato and Bona-A-Fide for almost a year, starting in August of 2010, and I cannot say enough good things about Kato and her team! My husband and I are both students and we are often gone long hours. At the beginning, I had such a hard time even contemplating leaving our dog in someone else's care as I tend to be a bit of a worrier and am very protective of our dog. We have been so pleased with the service and grateful to Kato and Larry for taking such good care of our dog and cat. It has been so nice to not worry about the pets while we are away in class, knowing that both the animals and our house are safe with Kato and her team. The highlight of our day is coming home to the detailed walk log, describing everything that occurred during the mid-day walk. Kato is prompt in responding, has always accommodated our requests- even when they have been short notice, and is overall absolutely wonderful to work with. We have recommended her services to many of our friends, neighbors, and classmates as well. We have also had Kato come and check on our cat while we are out of town. It is so nice to know that both our cat and our house are safe in Kato's hands while we are away. The daily visits also come with a daily log letting us know what occurred and Kato also tends to give a phone call as well. Kato has even helped us find a better cat food for our picky eater cat! If you are looking for pet-sitting or dog-walking services, I highly recommend Bone-A-Fide Pet Care- we couldn't be happier with the entire experience. read more

I recently used Bone-A-Fide pet care to pet sit my two cats while out of town. I have had hit and miss experiences with other services in the past. This was different. Bone-A-Fide was exceptional from the first meeting. An initial visit with Kato, the owner, and your sitter, in my case Sonya, is set up to go over your pet's needs,etc. Both Kato and Sonya were very professional, organized, and knowledgeable. Sonya cared for my girls for a week and I cannot say enough positive things about her. In addition to taking care of my girls' basic needs she set up hidden treats for them, played with them, gave one eye medication, and texted me updates with pictures and videos at each encounter. She was wonderful and I really didn't worry like I usually do. Raleigh was experiencing serious flooding and storms while we were gone and she checked our house without us asking. Sonya is extremely conscientious and a very nice and kind person. I have used Bone-A-Fide's services a second time and the service was just as exceptional. read more

We've been using Kato and Bone-A-Fide for a while now and couldn't be happier. We've got three cats and an elderly rabbit and I know I can go away and leave them in Mary's hands (or Sonya's if Mary isn't available) and not worry about things. We were recently out of town for 2 weeks on a family emergency, a 6 hour time-zone difference, and getting the daily check-ins and pictures made me miss my little fuzzy ones so much less than I would have otherwise. Unfortunately, the day I was due to return, our bunny got very sick (not unexpected, given his age). They knew exactly what to do, brought him to the emergency vet (something we had talked about before-hand) and were in touch with me the moment my plane hit the ground. This is not the first time they've dealt with a medical emergency in our house (a cat) and so I quite honestly also credit them with saving the lives of our pets. 5-stars is simply not enough. read more

We could not be happier with a pet sitting service! We have used Kato and Edna for a few years now with a variety of pets . In the beginning we had an older dog that needed lots of special care and a puppy. They went above and beyond to make sure both of their needs were met. We could leave knowing that they were in the best possible care in our absence. We have since added a cat to our home and have received great tips from them in our new addition. It's so nice to know that they are reliable and responsive to anything that may arise. They have brought new toys for each of them to encourage mental stimulation while we were away. We love the text updates while we are away and come home to very happy pets every time we return. HIGHLY recommend their service. read more

Bone-A-Fide Pet Care is amazing! I can't say enough good things about Kato and Sonya. I had never had a pet sitter for my dog before and I was nervous to commit because she is my world and I am protective of her. Bone-A-Fide made me so comfortable with this new decision. My dog, Kip, loves her mid day loving and walks from Bone-A-Fide while I'm at work. They provide great communication about your pet and are easy to reach. It's comforting to not have to worry about your pet and be able to enjoy your vacation, plans, or work day. Very reliable and friendly! Definitely recommend Bone-A-Fide to anyone seeking pet care! Thanks Bone-A-Fide!!!! read more

We have used Bone-A-Fide Pet Care once 2014 to take care of our two large dogs every time we went out of town, sometimes for up to 2 weeks. We have always had absolute confidence in the care, attention and love given to our dogs while we were away. It is reassuring to get messages and photos from the carers, which gave us peace of mind when we were not at home. Kato is very professional to deal with, her systems are efficient and it is easy to pay online. Sarah and Hillary clearly loved our dogs and gave them the best attention while we were traveling. We are leaving USA and will be sad to say goodbye to Kate, Sarah and Hillary. read more

My wife and I relocated from Ohio and were in search of a pet sitter to watch our two dogs while we went on vacation. We are very lucky to have found Bone-A-Fide Pet Care. The owner Kato does a great job and they are extremely thorough in understanding your needs, scheduling meet and greets and getting to know as much as they can about your pets. We have had Sarah watch our dogs a few times and she is outstanding! She really cares for our dogs and leaves detailed notes after each visit. We have also used Anong and she did a great job as well. Very highly recommend their services if you are in need of someone to watch your pets! read more

Bone-A-Fide Pet Care rocks. We have always "boarded" our animals at facilities until we took in a cat. For the first several years, he too went to "camp", and then we saw Kato's car in the neighborhood and thought we'd give it a shot. Kato and her staff are awesome. Reasonably priced and as thorough as they come. The attention to detail and follow through leaves us completely at ease when our cat (and home!) are in their care. We are moving from the area and only hope we can find the same level of service in our new city. They are truly animal lovers. Would recommend in a heartbeat. read more

We used Bone-A-Fide Pet Care for 4th of July weekend for dog sitting services. Both of our dogs were very well taken care of. We are extremely happy with the service. The sign up process was professional as was the service. We were pleased to receive pictures of the dogs on a walk with Caree while we were out. Our dogs were not nervous at all when we got back. They were spoiled! Also we enjoyed the daily status updates we received about each visit. I'd highly recommend Bone-A-Fide Pet Care to anyone looking for fantastic pet-sitting services. read more

I am so grateful to have found Bone a Fide Pet Services for our cat sitting needs. Traveling often both in and out of the country we never have to worry about the quality of care our cats receive. Kato is a professional business owner who goes to great lengths to make sure all bases are covered when we are away. We receive daily status reports on our cats as well as the house and property. Much appreciated care and oversight was provided when we were recently away during Hurricane Matthew. It is a relief to travel with peace of mind. read more

Kato George has the very best walkers and pet care people on her team. She knows the business but mostly she knows her clients and the perfect person for those clients. Edna, Sarah, Laura and Hilary have been with Kato for a long while and I know, first hand, any one of those girls will protect and love your pets like their own. It was an honor working with them, I couldn't have trusted my cat , Bruce Wayne with any one better. Anong read more

My husband and I traveled over Christmas and used Bone-a-Fide Pet Care while we were away.
