I love all breeds & sizes!
Pet care experience
I have 3 dogs who I love with all of my heart. They are all rescued bully breeds ranging from 65-130 pounds. I rescued them all from various shelters at ages 3 months, 2 years, and 1.5 years. Dogs are family to me, and I will treat yours as my own. I've had dogs my entire life and love everything from playing with energetic pups to nice slow strolls with older dogs. Because I have bully breed dogs myself, I have a lot of experience with walking them in neighborhoods where some people might be fearful or hesitant about their breeds. I'm also great at working with dogs on their leash manners. Dogs who show their love enthusiastically and are still learning not to jump and how to take treats gently are just as loved in my book. One of my dogs has separation anxiety and another is fearful of men due to negative experiences before adoption, so I am able to embrace dogs with all personalities. My current dogs are youthful in age, but I've also had 2 senior dogs, one of which was mostly deaf and blind at the ripe old age of 15. I can't wait to get to know your wonderful dogs, too!
Reviews
Catheryne has been wonderful! She came and met the dogs ahead of time to go over everything and the dogs warmed up to her quickly! She was always on time with visits and let me know how things were going while we were away! We will definitely use her again!
Catheryne was amazing. Took extra special care of my big boy Roscoe. Top notch. Will definitely have her watch Roscoe again.
Catheryne was a life saver for us after we experienced a last minute cancelation from another Rover provider. With only one day before we left town to figure out what to do, she responded quickly and was able to come meet our dog on such short notice. She took great care of our pup and everything was seamless!
Thanks for taking such good care of both our dogs, giving Kirby special treatment as his legs heal and getting Triscuit the energetic walk she needs! We appreciate you and the photos!
About Catheryne M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I do a meet and greet with a new client, I like to learn how they care for their pet in their home, whether that is a crate, harness, double leashing, or a fenced in yard. I try to learn what commands the pet knows, what their favorite toys are, and how they like to play.
Information Catheryne M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they are okay to interact with other dogs or people, the commands that they know (stay vs. wait, etc.), and if there are any medical concerns that I should be cautious of.
A typical day
I liked to walk dogs near their own home or other familiar territory to them. I would be happy to take them to a nearby park to throw a ball or Frisbee too.
