Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs my whole life. My mom founded and helped run a dog rescue for 5 years, and during that time, we fostered hundreds of dogs. My grandfather participated in dog shows, and had 12 German Shepherds during my childhood. Being around dogs and making sure they're happy makes me just as happy, too! I think dogs are such a gift to this world, and I'd have a billion of them if I knew I could give them all the love and care they deserve.
Reviews
Cate was wonderful! Very easy to work with and she sent me so many wonderful pictures of my dog. Thank you, Cate!
I associate every dog I see with Cate. She cares so deeply for dogs. She lives with a few dogs and has so much love for them it's wid. She would easily transfer that love to any animal left in her trust.
Cate loves dogs and is a wonderful and experienced dog sitter/caregiver. She is the one person I trust completely to take great care of my beloved fur baby! I know that my doggie Moa is always in great hands with Cate. She is extremely responsible and cares for all dogs like she would her own. Thank you Cate for your reliability and always doing such an amazing job.
Cate is the kindest soul I have ever known. Not only is she so friendly to people, but she is the most loving person and will love any dog she comes in contact with. Dogs mean the world to Cate, she has three at home with her and they are her best friends. Cate cares about dog's safety, happiness and well-being just as much as she cares about her own. Cate has been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and she always has her door open to dogs. She will certainly treat your dog as if he/she were her own! Your dog will be in wonderful hands, and will leave Cate feeling unbelievably spoiled.

Safety, trust & environment
Ensuring your dog's safety and comfort is my top priority. Accommodating their needs is, of course, so important. I have extensive experience handling a dog on a leash. I also won't push your dog in an environment they aren't comfortable. If we go to the park and they seem uncomfortable, we can go elsewhere! I want your dog(s) to enjoy their time with me!
Information Cate S. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences, although I do have more experience with bigger dogs (i.e. Labs, Pitbulls, and German Shepherds). Before sitting a dog, I'd like to know they're favorite activities, if they have any allergies, if they have food aggression or aren't comfy around other dogs and/or cats, and anything you think is important to make sure your dog and I have fun!
A typical day
Boston Common, the Fens, your dog's favorite park if they have one! Also, if you/your dog is comfortable in dog parks, we can go to those, too! We can play fetch/ball, and I'd love to go hiking too if that's something your dog enjoys!

I've taken this semester off school and currently work nights. Especially with the weather getting warmer, I'd love to be out and about walking in the city with some dogs!
