Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm and have been taking care of various animals all my life. Ever since starting University I've had the opportunity to care for the pets of faculty and staff over the holidays, and have really loved doing so. Working at a horse stable I get to work with amazing barn dogs every day! I miss them when they're not around and love every opportunity I get to meet new dogs.

Kate was wonderful and did and great job of taking care of my finicky cats! She was easy to communicate with and kept me updated after each visit, which I really appreciated.

Kate is so good with animals. Lucky is the dog, cat, or horse that is under Kate's care. When pet sitting for us she sends us timely texts and wonderful photos of our pet. This gives us great peace of mind and we don't worry at all about our pet when Kate is pet/house sitting. Our cat Daisy is not the friendliest with people she doesn't know well. Kate is the only person that Daisy will sit on and feel comfortable with besides us. She is willing to take the time to follow our specific notes and neurotic routines. Give Kate a try - she's the best!

Kate has been house and pet sitting for us for two years. We have a mastiff, walker hound, two cats and 15 or so chickens. She is unflappable. She has raised chicks for us, cleaned up nervous dog accidents, and never missed a beat. She is incredibly gentle and our animals adore her. She stays in our house and we trust her completely. We get pictures of the dogs while we are gone. She came to me highly recommend by a longtime friend and Kate fit right in to our little zoo. I cannot recommend her enough. She is literally amazing and we never worry about our house or animals while we are gone. Now that the secret is out I will l have to book her a year out!! Trustworthy, knowledgeable, kind, and caring.

Kate is experienced, kind, and patient with animals. We have used her as a cat sitter at our home on several occasions. We trusted her not only with our animals, but with the responsibility of caring for our home. I know that she is highly sought after as a pet sitter, and she also works up at the barn with horses. I know that she could handle any situation with animals and will be responsible and trustworthy. I give her my highest recommendation and I hope you will hire her.
