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!

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.

I hired Kathy with short notice to take care of my 6 cats, one of whom needs medication twice daily, over the holidays. She is very pleasant, personable, and professional and have already hired her a second time! It was apparent through my cats' responsiveness to her that she treated my fur babies with love and kindness. She was even able to get some time in with my two less sociable boys! It's a blessing to be able to leave them in such good hands and I thoroughly enjoy Kathy's constant contact, letting me know how the crew is doing and sending pictures during my time away.

Details: Cat • 6 pets or more • Changing litter or bedding • Dispensing medication • Giving food and water • Collect mail • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • The pet sitter travels to me
