Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pets in their home so they feel safe. I’m there for them, keeping with their routine to keep them comfortable and happy even though pet parents can't be there.

Information Cate C. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I follow their routine! Morning: waking to wagging tails and take them outside for a morning potty. I feed and administer medications as needed. I take them for one long walk during the day per their regular schedule. I may have evening outings but I will feed and walk before Hand. I then return. Let pups out for a potty break, play and cuddle. Bedtime: let them out one more time before going to sleep. I follow their regular routine.

This was our first time using Rover, and also ever hiring a dog sitter to watch our two dogs. We were a bit anxious going into our trip wondering how our dogs would do with a new person staying with them. From the jump Cate was awesome to work with and really put us at ease that our dogs would be in great hands. She sent us daily updates and pictures, and left our home in great shape for when we returned. Would highly recommend Cate, and we are really happy with our first Rover/dog sitter experience!

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!!!

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.
