Katherine did an excellent job taking care of our pets, bringing in the mail, and overall watching over our home. She kept us updated on the cats activities and well being. I would definitely ask Kathy to pet sit again.

Katherine's reply

Thank You John, it was a pleasure looking after your cats.

Katherine is a pet person especially cats. She took excellent care of our 7 Inside cats plus a bunch of outside cats. She emailed photos and any questions we needed to answer and kept us up to date while we were away on vacation. I would recommend her for anyone looking to take care of their cats while they are away. Katherine is very personal and a responsible person. Our home kept clean and litter boxes clean made it nice to return after a long trip. Thanks again for letting us find Katherine on you website.

I recently asked Katherine to take care of me two dogs while I attended a wedding and rehearsal dinner in Ocean City. My dogs are both rescues and are very anxious and nervous around strangers. It typically takes them a long time to warm up and trust people. I was astounded when Katherine came in and my dogs immediately showed her affection and acted as if she was their best friend. That has never happened before with anyone. Katherine is a true dog whisperer. She connected with my dogs right away. It was such a huge relief for me knowing that my babies were in such loving care. I was able to enjoy the wedding festivities without worry. Katherine is very personable and responsive. She is a genuinely wonderful person and so great with animals. She sent me lots of pictures of my babies while they were in her care. I would highly recommended her to anyone who is looking for the best quality care for their fur babies!
