I have had cats since I was at university for about 15 years. We also had cats as a family when I was a child. I always thought I was only a "cat person." However, in 2004 I adopted my lab-blue heeler mix, Paul Anka. He lived for almost 18…

Korijna looked after Angela Bruxer’s pets & home
Kori is extremely reliable and respectful, and she cares deeply about animals and their wellbeing. She is experienced with elderly animals with medical needs and anxiety issues. When our 18-year-old cat was nearing end of life, Kori truly listened to us and was supportive and empathetic as we decided what to do. She was there through everything - including the hour-long drive late at night to the pet hospital. Kori will watch after your home and pets as if they were her own. She is very trustworthy, detail oriented, and respectful of others' homes.
