We have known Kathryn for over ten years, spending time with her and her family in a variety of venues and life circumstances. Earlier this year, she contacted us about the possibility of staying with us in our home for a month or so, when she returned from living in Spain and was between other commitments. We readily agreed. Before Kathryn came to live with us, we made two commitments that would require us to be away from home, one for 2 nights and another for five. Initially, we thought we would need to find outside accommodation for our two dogs, ages 11+ and 1, and our cat. However, when Kathryn learned about our plans, she immediately volunteered to care for the pets. She had established good connections with all of them as soon as she moved in, so we were pleased to accept this arrangement. It worked out wonderfully for all parties. When we returned, the pets had obviously been well-cared for, both physically and emotionally. In addition, Kathryn had taken it upon herself to do cleaning work in the house and maintenance work outdoors. These contributions were especially valuable to us. We had other guests coming into the home soon after we returned from our longer trip, and Kathryn’s efforts made the transition much easier. Similarly, her work outdoors kept our gardens and flowers healthy, otherwise saving us hours of catching up during the most important growth season of the year. During her stay with us, Kathryn showed herself to be generous, thoughtful, caring, and responsible. These same qualities were reflected in her care of our pets and home. We value, and are grateful for, both her friendship and her service.
