Kate Fletcher-Best dog/cat sitter

Pet care experience

Greetings, Allow me to introduce myself—I'm Kate, hailing from the charming town of Landrum, nestled in the heart of South Carolina. With a rich and diverse history in the realm of pet care, my family and I have been deeply involved in fostering animals, extending our love and compassion to those in need. This profound journey has shaped my passion for animal care and empathy. One noteworthy tale from our family's commitment to animal welfare is the story of Ruby, an elderly beagle we discovered on the side of the road. We embarked on a heartfelt mission to nurse her back to health, a journey that underscored our dedication to ensuring every animal's well-being. Beyond our fostering endeavors, I have accrued significant personal experience in pet care, serving as a dependable farm-sitter and a dedicated farm-hand. This allowed me to interact with a variety of animals, broadening my knowledge and understanding of their unique needs. Our commitment to fostering a nurturing environment for animals has not only made a lasting impact on our lives but has also contributed to the remarkable well-adjustment of our beloved pets. We believe that their exposure to a diverse range of animals, including horses, birds, dogs, and cats, has played a pivotal role in fostering their adaptability and harmonious coexistence. Moreover, our pets have borne witness to the unique challenges faced by my brother, Shields, who bravely confronts the daily complexities of Prader-Willi syndrome. Their unwavering presence and acceptance have created a compassionate and understanding atmosphere within our home. It would be my genuine pleasure to extend my family's legacy of care, compassion, and resilience, as well as my own personal expertise, to meet the unique needs of your cherished pets. Rest assured, your furry family members will receive nothing less than the utmost care and attention, shaped by years of experience and a deep understanding of the intricate world of animal care. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to be of service to both you and your pets. Warmest regards, Kate
