BETTY
Hello, I’m Betty. I have always felt a connection with animals and have shared my home with hunting and show dogs but my specialty and passion lies specifically with cats and birds. The crew calls me the Cat Whisperer! I’ve attended numerous Pet Sitters International conferences where I take continuing education classes in cat care, bird care, pet nutrition and geriatric pet care. I have also furthered my pet care education by taking additional seminars in pet nutrition, have extensive training in cat behavior as well as parrot care. I have attended the Pet Industry’s trade show as well to keep up to date on the latest products for my clients. In 2016, I also became Zoo Sitters' Marketing Director, responsible for all marketing efforts in both Atlantic and Cape May Counties. I still pet sit for my cat clients in Cape May County as well.
KATHIE
Hi, I'm Kathie! A resident of CMCH and Wildwood Crest for nearly 20 years, I am originally from West Chester, PA, where I received a BA in Liberal Studies with a minor in Psychology. Married with one son, I am an animal lover to the core. My 100 pound lab and Maine Coon cat can attest to that! From an early age, through my teens, I worked on various farms, riding and caring for horses and livestock, always returning home to a resident dog and several cats. I came on board with Zoo Sitters in 2017 but prior, I worked for many years as a recreation therapist and a marketing and admissions director within long-term care and rehabilitation facilities. I also served as the board secretary at Cape Christian Academy, assisting with their admissions and development. While I consider myself a people person, I've always been happiest in the presence of animals, my first love. Walking my dog Indy is the highlight of my day. Both of us, happy to be outside, getting exercise, we cover a lot of ground, usually over 3 miles. In spite of this busy regimen, I have plenty of energy and enthusiasm to go the distance walking or caring for your dog with the same passion and devotion.
KENDRA
Hi, I'm Kendra! I have lived in Cape May County my entire life and currently live in Green Creek with my sphynx cat, Jacques, calico cat, Lola, and senior yorkie, Mickey. I have an immense love for animals and all living creatures. I have a soft spot for senior and disabled animals. If space and cost did not matter, I would want to adopt all of the 3 legged, 1 eyed, senior dogs and cats that too often get over looked in shelters. My dream is to one day be a marine biologist. I love the beach and summer time. I’m a huge Disney fan. I enjoy practicing yoga and drinking coffee. I’ve worked at a local police department for the last 12 years, currently as the Administrative Assistant. I look forward to taking care of your babies and providing you with peace of mind when you can't be home with them.
KIMBERLY
My name is Kimberly and I live in Wildwood Crest. I moved here in 2007 from Manassas, Virginia with my husband and our 2 cats and fish. As a child, our home always had some kind of “fur running around” as my mother likes to say. Most days consisted of waking up with a kitty fast asleep in my bed, taking the dogs for a walk, and calming down a squawking green amazon parrot until I shared with him whatever I was eating at the time. I was born and raised in Conshohocken, PA where I had the challenge of walking our 3 dogs up and down steep hills through all kinds of weather. I loved every minute of it! I also have a Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory Science and work in the Clinical Laboratory at Cape Regional Medical Center. I am a volunteer with Friends of Cape May Wildlife Refuge and I participate in various charity walks. When I am not working or volunteering, you can usually find me walking the beach, riding my bike, or gardening. I am excited to be able to bring to you my love of dog walking and pet sitting. I've had extensive training in loose leash dog walking techniques and pack management.
LEETTE
Hi, my name is LeEtte and I'm a Zoo Sitters Field Manager. Originally from Warminster, PA, I moved to Cape May County in 2001. Animals are, and always have been, my purest joy in life! After nearly 10 years in the cleaning and hospitality field, I woke up one morning and realized that the brightest part of my work day was enjoying the company of my clients' pets while I cleaned up after them. My circle of animal friends and family include dogs and cats of all sizes, parrots, chinchillas, guinea pigs, sugar gliders, hermit crabs, turtles, lizards, and fish! My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian and live on a farm with my small army of large breed dogs. I have every intention on furthering my pet education. Your pets safety and well being are my first concern, but earning their trust and friendship is also immensely important to me! I'm looking forward to meeting your pets and making your day a little less stressful.
