Kathryn took great care of our home, farm and pets while we were away for a few days this winter. We have two dogs, one indoor and the other an outdoor guardian dog, as well as a cat and chickens. They were kept well fed, watered, and walked and seemed very relaxed and happy when we got home. She had no problems with our specific instructions about the animals. Our home is primarily wood heat, with electric backup, and we are on an independent power plant. As such, there was a bit of extra work and some unusual quirks to deal with when taking care of the home in winter. She did a great job! We were able to enjoy our time away without worry and came home to everything well taken care of. We would definitely recommend her as a house sitter!
