Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving and responsible care of your
There have been so many amazing cats and dogs that I've loved in my life, I can't even count them. I always seek out pets in need of care or adoption. My furry loved ones have had a variety of behavior and physical challenges but that's just made me love them more. It's also taught me to be patient, gentle, and i've learned all sorts of tricks to get a pill into a cat! My husband and I have one dog (Gracie - a lab mix) and four young cats (Charlie, Cali, Buster and Polly). Besides my own well-loved pets, I've had the privilege of caring for a couple of dozen foster kittens in the last two years. What fun! (Yes, three of my cats are foster-fails - you got me. 😊) I'm excited to meet your pets and be there to care for them when you can't be. Walks, brushing, medication, separate feeding - it's all fine. Whatever they need! You probably want your pets to be in your home where they feel safe, and I have no problem caring for them there - for pet sitting, walking, or just socializing! And if you want your plants taken care of, mail picked up, trash put out while you're away - I'm happy to help with that as well. Looking forward to meeting you and your loved fur babies!

I absolutely will defer to your instructions for feeding, walking and socializing with your pets. You know them and their needs the best. We can see if your pet is a good match for my household if you would like your pet to be cared for at my home.
Ratings and reviews
Cate is the best! I come home to happy fur babies and a happy home every single time I book with Cate!
As always, Cate is the best! We always come home to happy doggos and a happy house ❤️
Cate is so wonderful! I always come home to happy doggos and a happy home! I never worry about our fur babies while away cause I know they are in good hands and she sends update pics, videos and texts!
Cate was amazing with our three doggos. I came home from a weekend of being out of town to a happy home and happy doggos! She was responsive to messages and sent pics of our fur babies to put out minds at ease while away! Would definitely recommend Cate for your pet needs ♥️
Cate is absolutely amazing with our shy dog and cat, and we feel good knowing they’re in great hands while we are away. We are especially grateful Cate was able to accommodate a last-minute time change for our most recent trip. It’s such a relief to have someone so reliable and caring! Highly recommend!
We came home to two calm pets who were spoiled rotten by Cate! We return to a clean house and know Lucy and Tasha are well taken care of!

Schedule
I run my own online business and can work anywhere, anytime, as long as I have a decent internet connection. That makes me very flexible to be there when you need me!

- Basic information will be needed like your dogs' names, what and when to feed them, what their routine is for potty breaks and walks, if they have any health or medical needs, who their vet is and who to contact in case of emergency. I'd love to also know what their favorite toys and treats are as well as places they particularly like to walk. Are they okay on a leash? Do they need certain considerations when in public (staying away from other dogs or people)? Can I spend a bit of time with them in your presence before you leave so I know they'll be comfortable with me? Are there places they're restricted from in the house? Do they have any specific fears or aggressions? I'd like to know if they have they had any episodes in the past that concerned you so that I am aware not to trigger them. Written instructions are always best. And if you're going to be away, let me know if and how often you want pictures and updates of your pup!
