Pet care experience
My dad has been a vet for over 30 years and ran the Humane Society Clinic and Shelter in Naples, Florida. He now has his own private practice. I grew up on a ranch in Colombia South America, where we had dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, horses. Later in Florida, I often volunteered with my dad at the clinic and fostered several rescues for the Miami ASPCA. I am a hobby pet photographer and all my pet parents rave about their pup’s portraits 🦴🐾
Reviews
Katherine was great with our dog. She was very attentive and the videos showed our dog really enjoying the time she spent with Katherine.
Although the first few days of Leo’s stay with Katherine were a bit nerve-racking on my part (he was a very anxious kitty and would hide and not eat), once he got comfortable, he started acting like his lovable self. I was away in Europe so the time zone difference made me even more nervous, but once Leo started eating and feeling comfortable, I felt better! Katherine also used the expertise of her father (who is a vet) to get guidance on how to proceed with Leo’s first few days of only hiding and not eating. Katherine sent a lot of videos and pictures of Leo, and shared progress updates on his eating patterns and bowel movements. She was fairly communicative and offered to FaceTime us several times (which I think helped Leo feel calm when he heard our voices!). Personally, I would have liked an update every other hour, especially the first few days, but I think I might just be a crazy cat mom! Knowing that Leo calmed down and felt like himself again, I would book Katherine again for another long-term stay. Thanks Katherine!
Katherine was great! Very communicative and accommodating. We have a senior dog and she took the extra care to meet his needs. Would book again when we travel.
Katherine was a great cat sitter. She was a great communicator and sent photos everyday!
