Customer Reviews
I really enjoyed my session with Kiersten. She is caring, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about cats. I made the changes she suggested to deal with my three cats not getting along and am already noticing a positive difference. I would absolutely recommend working with Kiersten!
- Stephanie DWorking with Kiersten was wonderful. She was prompt and very well prepared for our consultation. She observed and interacted with both of our kitties, and they quickly warmed up to her. Kiersten made a spot-on assessment of what's needed to achieve our goal of integrating our newer kitty. She put together a plan that not only makes sense but is doable. With Kiersten's expertise and support, we're finally hopeful that we may soon have an integrated household!
- Joan WKiersten was able to give me several ideas for helping my cat adjust to our new home and family members.
- Carrie PThe consultation and recommendation report that Kiersten provided were very helpful and made me optimistic that I could train my cat to behave better when it comes to bringing him to the vet.
- Lori DAmazing. Kiersten was so perceptive and knowledgable! We have been following her advice so far with complete success!
- Paula MShe was knowledgeable, approachable and left me feeling more confident than when I came in.
- Ashley LTalking to Kiersten gave me and my family so much peace of mind. The meeting was great and she took our complex situation in and gave very thoughtful and actually useful advice. I feel I know more than the average pet owner about cat behaviors and what to do, but still got a lot of new and nuanced information that has been very helpful. The plan provided was so thorough which I really appreciated, you can really tell she puts her all into it. I look forward to working together further as I have a pretty complex situation with my 3 cats, but I'm very hopeful that everything will work out with Kiersten's help!
- Stephanie SKiersten was easy to talk with and gave me several different ideas and options to try with my kitty. I like that sh'e going to provide a plan for me and I have the ability to follow up after implementing different solutions.
- Susan LKiersten was very helpful and understanding. Unfortunately, things have not been getting better. The cats are still fighting and our new cat keeps urinating during the fight.
