Kathleen is incredible! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. We had long-standing plans to be out of town for just 24 hrs and then 2 wks before, our house & pup-sitter told us she forgot she’d double-booked and couldn’t do it. We checked River immediately and found Kathy who lives a short distance away. Thankfully she was available and we met a few days later to show her the house and Mac’s normal procedures. We were impressed with her interaction with our little guy; he warmed up to her immediately and she listened to his schedule and quirks, asking useful questions. The next week, we confirmed the day before we left and Kathy arrived at the agreed-on time. She sent a picture of a very happy boy the next morning and was waiting when we got home. She’d already washed the linens and re-made the bed; everything was tidy (perhaps more so than when we left), and she told us how everything had gone. It was ideal; we certainly hope Kathy will return to ensure all’s well in our house again the next time we need to be away!

I have known Kathy for over 30 years, and I have witnessed her wonderful relationship with not just her pets, but the pets of others. She has done a great job taking care of my cat, Abigail, when I need to travel, and Abigail is not easy, to say the least. Kathy is an exceptionally reliable person. If she promises to do something, she does it. She is organized, and an excellent problem solver. I can easily say that any pet owner who hires Kathy will be more than pleased with the job she’ll do. I am more than happy to chat with anyone if further input is requested. Patrice M.
