Testimonials

Read what our clients have to say about us:

"I was thrilled when I first found Kathi, The Kritter Sitter, in 2002. In the past my parents took care of my critters when I had to be away, but the addition of the horses and my parents' increasing age was too much for them.

Kathi has always been very professional, taking copious notes and following all of my instructions to the letter. Even my all-time favorite mare, now old and "cranky" with new people and ANY change in her routine, loved her immediately.

Every time she has cared for my property and pets she has always left everything clean and neat. She has always made sure of my return before she considered her duties done. Not just assuming my return was as promised - she makes sure no one would ever go hungry if I were delayed.

She is one of the most caring and genuinely nicest persons I have ever had the opportunity to meet. I now count on her as a friend. I am able to leave home with the assurance that my animals will be taken care of as well as if I were there to care for them myself. I am thankful that I can now relax, knowing that The Kritter Sitter can handle any situation."

"We have dogs, the inherited donkeys that came with our house and raise World Class miniature horses - each and every one being near and dear to our hearts. So, you can only imagine how hard it is to be willing to leave our critters in someone else's care - much less find someone willing to take care of a menagerie! I can't begin to tell you how fortunate it is that we met up with The Kritter Sitter!! Kathi is not only very reliable, but observant and quick to act on anything that might go wrong while we are gone. She's done everything for us from fixing fences (horses are notorious there!) and managing suprise newborn foals...to administering dog and horse medications. We've been with Kathi since 2002 and would highly recommend her! Did I also mention that she makes the world's best twice-baked potato?!"

"What would we do without TheKritterSitter? We often have to leave without much advance notice. But when we do, we know we can always depend on Kathi to take care of our new Boxer as well as our sheep and goats. She's helped us through several animal health scares and in the process we've learned so much from her that we're now much more confident as pet owners!"

"Just a note to let you know how much we appreciate your service. It is so hard to find anyone to truly count on to take good care the horses when we want to get away for an over night trip or a 2 week vacation. It's great to know that any medical emergency or special care that comes up will be dealt with concern. I especially remember when our 3 yr. old colt was a yearling, how difficult it was to leave him in the hands of someone else. After the first time in your care we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. What a joy. If you ever need any references, please let us know, we are more than happy to recommend you!"

"Kathi has been fantastic and handles any challenge that comes along from fussy eaters, medications to catching my llamas! She takes her job seriously and it's nice to know I can trust someone as if I was there. It makes your trip stress free!"

"We've been with Krittersitter and family going on 5 years now, and Wallace, Gromit and spastic Sierra the cat, have enjoyed excellent care, belly rubs and most important, a service that cares about their customer, the pet. Krittersitter, don't leave home without them."
