I've known Kristene for over a decade and she babysat my cat when he was very young. When it comes to my babies, I trust her more than anyone else. My cat likes to get under the blanket and Kristene was kind enough to let him into her bed and cuddle him, which he usually only does with me! For my next vacation I would have her watch my dog because she has a calming effect on him and I know that she could control him - he gets pretty crazy around other people but not her. The cat that Kristene adopted was actually crazy at first but she gave him a chance and he became a loving cat. The animals trust her and she will always get them in a happy mood. She is protective of them and full of love!
