Availability

As a SCAD student, my schedule is consistent and easy to plan around. I’m available for morning and evening walks, and I strategically use the breaks between my classes to check in on your pets. When I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the utmost respect. My own experience raising a puppy has made me highly disciplined with routines; I ensure your dog gets their exercise, feedings, and plenty of one-on-one attention exactly when they expect it. Whether I’m dropping in for a quick walk or staying the night, your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities!

About Cate M.

Safety, trust & environment

In Your Home: Safety is my top priority. Having a puppy of my own, I am hyper-aware of 'pet-proofing'. keeping chewable hazards, toxic plants, and small objects out of reach. I am a firm believer in the 'Double-Door' rule and always ensure gates or doors are secure before unleashing a pet. During walks, I am vigilant about surroundings, keeping a firm grip on the leash and avoiding interactions with unknown dogs to ensure a stress-free experience." Building Trust: I understand that your home is your sanctuary. I pride myself on being respectful, clean, and communicative. I provide detailed photo and text updates after every walk or check-in so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. As a SCAD student, I am used to following strict schedules, so you can trust that feedings, medications, and potty breaks will happen exactly on time.

Pet care experience

I am excited to offer dedicated dog walking and personalized in-home sitting tailored to your pet's specific personality. My goal is to maintain the comfort of their home environment while providing the physical and mental stimulation they need. A typical visit or walk includes: Structured Exercise: Brisk walks or backyard fetch to burn off energy. Mental Enrichment: Basic command reinforcement and puzzle toy play. Safety First: Leash safety, checking water bowls, and ensuring your home is secure. Personalized Attention: Brushing, belly rubs, and companionship for those who just want a friend nearby. I have been surrounded by dogs literally since the day I was born, giving me a natural "dog intuition" when it comes to reading body language and moods. Currently, I am raising my own puppy, which has given me specialized, hands-on experience with the "hard stuff": potty training, teething, high-energy management, and the patience required for consistent training. Whether your pet is a senior who needs a gentle touch or a rambunctious puppy still learning their manners, I have the experience to handle both ends of the spectrum with ease. As a student at SCAD, my schedule is predictable and fits perfectly with pet care. I am not a 9-5 office worker; instead, I use the breaks between my classes to check in on my furry clients, ensuring they aren't left alone for long periods. I am primarily available for early morning walks, midday drop-ins, and overnight house sitting. When I’m house sitting, I treat your home with the same respect I treat my own. Since I’m often working on my creative projects, I am the perfect "passive companion" for pets who thrive on having someone in the room. You can expect frequent photo updates and open communication so you can have total peace of mind while you're away.
