Pet care experience
I have 25 years of experience taking care of and rescuing animals. I have experience caring for cats of all ages with a variety of medical conditions. I am comfortable administering medications and following a tailored pet health plan. I also have experience caring for chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters and rabbits.
Reviews
After Waffle passed away a week prior to my trip, this was Lilah's first experience being left all alone without any other cats around. Kathryn was very supportive and engaged in finding a way to ease Lilah's worries -- despite my complicated trip schedule, we coordinated a couple video calls where I could reassure Lilah and she could hear my voice and see my face. That was so helpful for Lilah! I am grateful for Kathryn's understanding care and patience with Lilah being in an uncharacteristic and unexpected defensive mode.
Will be rebooking. They were responsive and communicative the whole time. We booked them because our blind mom needed her car watched while coming to visit our newborn baby. It's reassuring to find a great cet sitter!
On top of Kathryn's wonderful service as usual taking care of my kitties, she was so helpful in trying different foods for one of my cats, Waffle, who suddenly lost her appetite shortly before my trip, and sending updates about how she was doing and eating. I also appreciated her assistance with the grow light for my plants and making sure they stayed secured from my other cat Lilah, who would otherwise eat them up.
We tried few sitters before, but none of them are as experienced as Katherine. My cat is a little different sometimes, and she really knows how to treat my cat well. We will continue to have her in the future.
