Kate has been caring for our Golden Retriever, Crispin, in a variety of roles: as play group leader with several other dogs, as a dog walker, and most importantly, staying overnight in our home with him on two occasions, while we were away for several days. She is responsible, clearly very fond of dogs, and has gone "above and beyond"expectations for kind and thoughtful caring of our dog. For example, when staying with Crispin, she leaves a daily diary of meals, meds, walks and other activities, and the days and times these occurred. She texts updates and sends photos, such as recently when we were away, showing him up on our bed (allowed) snuggling with her crocheting (adorable). Even better, once when she encountered a problem, she let me know ASAP via text and waited for my instructions. I hasten to add that the problem was NOT her fault; another dog attacked our dog at the dog park--where I had asked her to take him--and she had quickly gotten him out of the park. All of the above have been extraordinarily reassuring for us as we treasure our dog and want the best care for him. I highly recommend Kate to your organization, for any dog care task.
