Kathi has been pet sitting for me for a few years now and I could not be happier with her service. The pets love her, even the grumpy old dog. There have been times when I have had to call her at the last minute because I was stuck at work and she was there without a problem. She even turned on the outside light for me. She has also stayed at the house while we were on vacation and it was very comforting knowing the pets were in their element and the house was also being looked after. I highly recommend Kathi.

Kathi does a great job watching our pets. When we go out of town she takes care of our animals. She also feeds the birds outside and brings in the mail. She keeps coming until she knows we are home. We know that our animals are in great care with Kathi. We would strongly recommend her.

I have used Kathi's Critter care several times over the years to care for my dogs. At times it has been while I am on vacation, and other times to help give shots and medication to my elderly dog. I have also seen her at work caring for a variety of other animals, including cats, horses, show dogs, and wildlife. She is honest, reliable, and has great love and compassion for animals. She is also very competent and I trust her 100% to make whatever decisions necessary for my animal's care when I am unavailable, be it medical decisions or otherwise. When my pets are in her care I rest easy knowing she will recognize if something is not right about them and will take the appropiate action. I know they will also get loving care.

Kathi has done it all for my canine and feline companions for five years. She has administered medication (both pills and shots) to my cats so deftly it was over before they even thought to protest. She has responded to my last minute cries for help when I would have had to cancel important appointments if she hadn’t juggled her work load (without comment or complaint) to make it happen. She responds to my cats and dogs as if they were hers. It’s not a job with Kathi, it’s a "calling." Kathi is so accommodating she stayed at my house overnight well before this became part of the service she now provides. Call that customer service, friendship, concern – call it what you want. I call it "invaluable."

I have used many pet sitters over the last eighteen years. Therefore, I have a realistic frame of reference for what it means to NOT do the job, do the job or do the job exceptionally well. Kathi is the standard for doing the job exceptionally well.

Kathi is the BEST! I had complete confidence, from the moment I first interviewed her, that Kathi would take awesome care of my dogs, birds, boarding stable and everything else on this farm! What is important to the owner is important to Kathi when she cares for the animals. Even dogs that normally shy away from strangers love Kathi (speaks volumes). She has wonderful horse 'sense'. She is dependable, honest and hard working. I trust her and her work completely! I am happy to recommend her to anyone who asks! She takes all the responsibility onto herself so you can relax with your animals in her care! I would never consider going elsewhere for a pet sitter! Thank you, Kathi Jopek!

Kathi has been my petsitter for 10 years and she is the most reliable and trustworthy person. My 2 Beagles look forward to the days that she comes over (they know who "Aunt Kathi" is) because she spoils them in the time she is here. Kathi is very flexible to accommodate my schedule (different every week); she also works weekends and late evenings when we're out of town or need to work late at the last minute. She is a part of our family to us and I'm glad she's with us. Her rate is more than fair, too.

To sum it up, here's how great Kathi is-->one day she was on her way to her pet sitter stops (mine included) when she was involved in a car accident (not her fault). She wasn't injured (thankfully)-a little shaken up, though. Her car was inoperable after the accident.So, she takes the time to call and say she "might be a little late coming over" because she needed to get a rental car. Well, she got the rental and came over to let out my dogs...How is that for dedication, responsibility, and overall caring about her job?! I wish more people shared that type of passion for their work. :-)

Kathi has been caring for my critters for several years and I would have NO one else. I never worry as I know that regardless of weather, or needs of the animals, she is always there to do the job and make sure everyone is fine and cared for. She is wonderful and all the critters love her.

I have been using (and delighted with!) Kathi's services for at least 12 years.She doesn't do herself justice. Not only does she take excellent care of all my beasties - 3 dogs, 3 cats, lovebirds, fish - she will also take in the mail, change your lighting, water your palnts and it seems as though everything you could wish for. The animals all adore her - even my people-shy rescue Airedale. Also, besides the usual safety measures, she has one policy I am especially fond of - even if you have only contracted for a couple of days, she will continue to come until you call that you are home. The peace of mind this provides is fantastic. You don't have to worry about your pets if the plane is delayed (or canceled) or the car breaks down 15 miles from nowhere, or any other unforseeable delay.And she is fully competent to handle any minor emergencies that may occur with the animals themselves.The peace of mind Kathi provides always allows us to fully enjoy our trips.
