Safety, trust & environment

I previously interned at Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center and am an active volunteer with RVSPCA, where I’ve earned certifications in Feline Enrichment, Canine Enrichment, and the Fear Free Program. I provide calm, reliable, and personalized care for every pet. I prioritize your pet’s comfort, safety, and routine and I treat every pet like family, just like my own.

Please let me know about any special needs, behaviors, routines, or medications your pet has. I have extensive experience administering medication to a variety of animals and always tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs.

A typical day

Activities are based on your pet’s needs and personality! This can include walks, playtime with toys, practicing tricks with treats, or relaxing and cuddling if that’s what they prefer. I’m always happy to match your pet’s energy level and routine.

Pet care experience

Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do; it’s who I am. I have hands-on experience with both domesticated animals (including exotic pets) and wildlife, and I currently share my home with four pets of my own, which means I truly understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you can trust.

I was nervous to use Rover for a week, but Cate was very communicative and professional. She took great care of my baby kitty and sent several photos as well :) thanks so much for:)

Cate was everything a pet owner could want. She was responsible, respectful and responsive. A delightful experience from our initial "getting to know you and your pet" visit to her daily check in communications. We hardily recommend her and will engage her with our next trip out of town.

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.
