Pet care experience
I have a 5 year old male Pomeranian, Ciro. I adopted him over a year ago from South Korea via Queens, NY. I teach pilates part time and I’m home with my Ciro when I’m not working. I live with my husband who is a full time Italian chef. I have time during the day that I would like to fill with something I care about and I decided to sign up when with Rover. My friend who is a professional dog sitter also suggested me and I’m the one who takes care of the dogs she watches when she’s on vacation and isn’t available. I’m responsible and take very good care of dogs. I’ve always been a dog lover and can’t wait to meet other doggies and learn more about them and become friends with them!
Reviews
Cate took great care of my elderly Pomeranian (and judging by his photos, he had lots of fun)!
When I first met Cate over a decade ago, she was singing to her dog. For several years, we raised our dogs together. Her love for animals is expressed through her patience and natural tendency toward humor, which gives so much space and joy for all of the energy, quirks, and character of dogs to flow. When I traveled overseas and was concerned about leaving my senior pomeranian with heart problems at home, I knew to I could trust Cate to give both of my poms the love, attention, activity and medical care they needed. Cate's background in dance and movement grants her a unique sensitivity to the way dogs move and communicate. With her vibrancy and experience in caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, I know my furry friends will be loved, healthy, hear some sweet songs, go on lots of walks, receive belly rubs, maybe have a dance party, and be infused with Cate's awesome nature.
Cate treats every dog like it is a precious treasure. Really. I have never seen anyone so patient and gentle with dogs as Cate is. I guess it's because she, herself has a senior dog that needs special attention and care - that Cate naturally carries that compassion to other people's pets as well. Not to mention, Cate has a lot of energy- so she is always up for entertaining and giving attention to a dog in need.
I’m a professional dog sitter in Soho and I have Cate takes care of dogs I watch while I’m away etc. she’s been helping me over six months now and I’m really happy working with her. She communicates well, responsible and understand well what I’m asking for. She’s easy to work with and understand dogs needs well. I highly recommend her and I can tell you that your dog will be in good hand with Cate.

We live in an apartment and I always have my dog on leash when we leave the apartment. We are a block away from the promenade and quite close to East End Beach where the dogs love to play.

Information Cate B. would like to know about your pet
That they are friendly with other dogs and if they are a bit bigger that they don’t play too rough (Ciro, my dog, is 15 pounds).
A typical day
Ciro, my pup, and I love walking the promenade, Mackworth Island and Wolf’s Neck in Freeport. My priority is taking the dogs (and my dog) where they are happiest.

I am currently in school and working part-time so I have time to take the dogs on great adventures. Maine has so much to offer and I think the dogs should explore it all.
