About Us!

"Kristin with Jack"

My name is Kristin Schumacher and I am the owner/operator of Kitty Kompany Professional Pet Sitting Services. You may be surprised to see me here pictured with my fur-friend Jack, given the name of the company...however I do also have an affection for dogs. My family raised American Cocker Spaniels while I was growing up, and we always had a cat or two and sometimes fish. I thank my mother for instilling the love of animals in me when I was very young. It has been one of the things that has impacted my life the most.

I am currently owned by 4 cats . Please visit the gallery to see photos of all of my fur-children.

Please view the memorial pages to visit my six fur-angels that have left us for the Rainbow Bridge. They are all sadly missed. Katie taught me everything there is to know about feline diabetes. She was a trooper and we saw each other through 5 years of insulin injections, blood glucose readings, and many vet visits. Jesse taught me what it is like to grow old gracefully, as she was 21 1/2 when she passed, and Jenny, being a pet therapy kitty instilled the old adage 'it's better to give than receive'. Then there was Buster, well....you'll only have to look at his picture and read his story to know why he was loved so much. Lastly and most recently was my fiance Richard's girl Mystique who is sadly missed always. Every time I go to his home there is a big hollow place where she once used to be.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me and I would be happy to discuss the care of your pets.

Thank you,

Kristin Schumacher

A thousand satisfied pets help name the Entrepreneur of the Year

Building a business through superior service has earned double honors for a pet sitting company at the 10^th annual Visions of Excellence gala recognizing businesses in the lower mainland. Kitty Kompany Professional Pet Sitting Services won in the Overall Service Industry category and proprietor, Kristin Schumacher, a graduate of the Douglas College Self Employment Program, was named Entrepreneur of the Year.

Schumacher has grown Kitty Kompany from a one person operation into a company with seven additional pet sitters who provide service throughout the lower mainland. More than 1000 pets in 600 households have benefited from their care in the past three and a half years. She attributes Kitty Kompany’s success to a passion for animals and their well-being, dedication to detail, and the professionalism of the company and its sitters.

“What Kitty Kompany endeavors to provide is peace of mind to the pet parents. There is nothing worse than spending a small fortune on a beautiful holiday and then worrying about your fur-kids,” said Schumacher.

The company’s memberships with national and international pet sitting organizations, the Better Business Bureau and the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce, as well as Schumacher’s volunteer work with animal rescue have contributed to the success of this award-winning company.

“We recognize that it is extremely difficult for people to make the decision to hand over, not only the care of their pets, but also the keys to their homes to a complete stranger. Our memberships in well-known organizations are reassuring and make it a little easier for our clients to take that initial step.”

As for the Entrepreneur of the Year award, Schumacher sees it as a confirmation of Kitty Kompany’s professional stature.

“We’re proud of the service we provide and the appreciation we continually receive from our clients and their pets. Winning such a prestigious award validates more than Kitty Kompany. It also validates the pet sitting industry.”
