Pet care experience

Experience, care & dependable

Your pet deserves the best. 🤗 Imagine while you are away your pet/s are getting first rate staycation attention! I care and look after your pet/s as close to their routine and more. We will enjoy long walks on the beach. Socializing at the dog park. Candle night dinners, without the candles. Pet portraits. Cuddling, and playing. I have had pets my whole life. I grew up on a farm. I love animals and the joy they bring. You know your baby will be in loving, experienced hands. A bonus, my sister is a Veterinarian and I have gained valuable knowledge from her. Please note: I am not the medical professional but I know how to speak the language and know the signs and symptoms to look for as well as the questions to ask. Also, I am a photographer so I provide pet portraits! And yes I can make the original files available or provide professional services to turn photos into art, posters, cards and create a photo book for you. Let me know for booking and I will focus on portraits! 10% DISCOUNT FOR LONGER SIT BOOKINGS. And ask for my coupon for first time customers.

Cate took care of my dog and cat while I was away for five nights and was so communicative throughout the booking process and her stay at my house. She communicated multiple times a day sending pictures and showing how well they were doing. Thank you Cate!!!

Cate did a great job caring for our difficult dogs. She really cared for our elderly dog that doesn’t need sleep. Meanwhile played and was very helpful with our boy that needs to be center of attention. Highly recommend Cate for your pet sitting.

Cate was communicative, flexible, and sent a video so that I could see the fun my dog was having. I would absolutely turn to her again for a sitter!

I love animals of all kinds but I have had a traumatic experience with Pit Bulls so do not pet sit these breeds; American Pitbull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier and the American Bully.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
