In the late 1990’s I had a beloved cat that had diabetes and had to be medicated. My vet strongly recommended Corrine at Cork’s Critter Care as the best solution for pet care when I traveled. 5 cats later I rest assured any time I travel that my animals get the very best of care and my house is monitored carefully in my absence. She has also dropped my cats off at the vet and picked them up as well on days when my schedule is tight. Corrine is the kindest and most honest person that I know and my cats truly love her. You cannot possibly find better care for your “furkids” than Corrine. My house unreservedly gives her 8 paws up!
Corrine has been taking care of Nova and Luna when we are out of town going on at least 7 years. Maybe longer. With Corrine we never have to worry about our kitties and our home. Very reliable and trustworthy. I recommend her services to anyone who needs them.
Corrine was able to give pills to my cat which allowed me to travel without worry. She is kind, trustworthy, and reliable. I highly recommend her.
