Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified Vet Tech to spoil ur baby
I am a state certified veterinary technician and also someone who has had a love for all animals since I was a kid. I've been helping all animals personally (and then professionally) for years...actually decades! I treat all fur-babies as I would my own. The unconditional love we receive from our pets is something I treasure and never take for granted. Whether young pups and kittens, or senior dogs and cats, I give them all the attention and love they deserve and crave (especially while their parents/owners are away).

Safety, trust & environment
With my state certified veterinary technician license I am able to do things that others are not. I can also tell you what may be a start of an ear infection or allergies or nothing at all! I enjoy going to dog parks, taking walks, playing fetch (or keep away haha) but also enjoy the quiet calm time while rubbing bellies and brushing hair. Also dog massages for the senior dogs helps tons with their aches and pains and I more than willing to assist. It actually puts them in a calming trance. Cats and I are a sort of soul mate (maybe it’s the name haha) but I have dealt with watching 5 cats at an owners house and 3 of the 5 had special medical needs that I was more than happy to help! They started booking me a year out ahead of time if they could!
Ratings and reviews
Catharine (Cat) loves all types of pets! She is reliable whether stopping by to give a beloved pet their daily meds, or staying overnight with clients’ furbabies so they are not alone when you need to travel. Cat has worked in Animal Hospitals as a vet-tech so she knows how to care for the most delicate, and medically challenged pets. Her loving nature allows for serious medical attention as well as a propensity to engage (playfully, often) with your house pets! They all seem to fall in love with her!
Amazing dog sitter. It is truly rare to find someone like Catharine who actually loves the dog she keeps. I would recommend Catharine over and over because she is truly a gem. Her knowledge from working at a vet's office is a huge plus as well.
We have 2 fur babies, 1 that has seizures. Cat was our go to when we needed to leave them. She took such good care of them and they loved her! I highly recommend her! She’s awesome!

Schedule
My schedule is currently wide open, as I have just moved back to Prospect, KY recently and am looking for the right fit in a veterinary clinic or animal hospital. My schedule is quite flexible, so I can work around yours.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsCatharine can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
- With my line of work I feel comfortable working with a very wide variety of pets, with all sorts of issues, mental and physical! Let me know what their typical behavior is like so I can be on the lookout for anything abnormal. Any certain medications that need to be administered, dietary restrictions and/or supplements? Insulin dependent ? Are they dog/children/men/women/other animal/stranger aggressive? Do they need assistance going potty (sling for walking out or puppy pads? Do they suffer from bite inhibition (happens more frequently with older pets). Any dementia in the pet? What are known commands or hand signals, if any?
