Kathy L, chefs kiss!! she was absolutley AMAZING!! My fur baby Rex and I met Kathy on a Thursday and we both instantly were drawn to her and she was the MOST PERFECT FIT for us and we welcomed her in our lives on Friday, again she was just perfect. While dealing with some prety devestating medical health issues with my sister in Texas and needing to travel immediatley, I was secure with Kathy caring for my fur baby while I was 1600 miles away I never worried about him with her and I was able to completely focus on my sister. Kudos to Rover.com for having someone like Kathy on your team!! If you're in the Manchester CT area make sure you book her you will not be dissappointed!!!

About: My family had many pets growing up. I enjoy making connections with pets by showing patience, lovings, empathy, prioritize safety and of course have respect for the owners. I’m an educator home for the summer eager to keep busy with animals!! Most of the time, I’ll be able to tweak my routine to accommodate services. I would treat every pet the way I treat my own pet. Spoiled! I truly enjoy being attentive to their needs and especially their WANTS.

Once for overstay stay and another for drop in visits. She sends a bunch of pictures and is very communicative. Great with our big American Bully, our tiny Min-Pin and our fluffy kitty.

About: Growing up on a farm, I’ve spent my entire life caring for a diverse range of animals, from livestock to beloved dogs, cats, birds and reptiles. This unique hands-on experience has given me an unparalleled understanding of animal behavior, health, and well-being that goes far beyond typical pet care. I offer a level of insight and compassionate care that truly sets me apart, ensuring your pet receives the most attentive and knowledgeable support possible. I’m currently working a mid day shift Monday-Friday. This will give me time in the morning to walk and care for your pets then again later in the afternoon and evenings. I will also be available most weekends! When you entrust your beloved pet to me , you’re choosing a caregiver committed to their safety, happiness, and well-being. I provide walks and in-home care with the utmost responsibility and trustworthiness, ensuring secure outings and attentive supervision. Your pets routine and comfort are paramount, and I always prioritize their needs in a safe and loving environment. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in dedicated and reliable hands.

Kristina was absolutely fantastic, highly recommend her and will absolutely be using her again in the future. Our dog can be a little picky about who she likes but Kristina had her trust from day 1. Visits were right on time and she sent photos/videos everytime she stopped by, couldn't have been better for our dog while we were away!
