Availability

On weekdays I have a day job as a Property Manager, but I have plenty of time in the morning for my furry guests. I feed them when I wake up and take dogs for a walk in the morning and we have a bit of playtime as well. Later in the afternoon when I arrive home I feed them and take them for another walk, and I walk them again before going to sleep. This schedule works great for pets who are potty trained and comfortable being home alone for some time. I'm at home pretty much all day on weekends and holidays. My cats are very friendly and provide great company for our furry visitors.

Information Cathe R. would like to know about your pet

Please share any routines or special instructions that keep your pet happy, like dietary restrictions or allergies, medication schedules, triggers, favorite activities, or quirks. Knowing about their energy level, socialization needs, and any fears or anxieties helps me tailor care. I’ll follow your guidance closely.

A typical day

Your pet’s day will start with breakfast and a walk. Throughout the day we enjoy playtime, sometimes long walks by the beach and naps on comfy beds. I incorporate fresh air, interactive toys, and evening strolls. At night pets are welcome to sleep and cuddle with me so they feel more at home. I send photo updates to keep you in the loop.

Pet care experience

🐾 Hello! I’m Catherine — a lifelong animal lover, experienced sitter, and proud 5-star Rover caregiver with over 7 years of experience and over 50 glowing reviews, please make sure to review them 😊. Since joining Rover in 2018, I’ve had the joy of caring for countless dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or has special needs, I treat every furry friend as part of my own family — with love, patience, and lots of cuddles. ❤️ I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life and truly understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. My clients often tell me they feel completely at ease knowing their pets are in responsible, loving hands — that’s my biggest reward! I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, following owners’ instructions carefully when it comes to feeding, routines, medications, or behavior preferences. My goal is always to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy — just as you would. Although my beloved pug recently crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈, she continues to inspire the way I care for every pet — with compassion and devotion. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cozy snuggles, I make sure every pet gets personalized care and affection. You can count on me to communicate clearly, send updates, and make your time away as stress-free as possible. Your pets will truly be treated like family. 💕

During the weekend Sheldon spent with Cathie, he was very happy and comfortable. She treated him with love and kindness. She also sent us updates and photos daily, which made us feel reassured. I would recommend her to anyone needing this type of service for their pets.

I have been using Cathe for years now and she always takes great care of my dog, Bear. She sends me pictures, which I really appreciate and he always loves going to see her! I would highly recommend her!

I was very pleased with Cathe's kindness and care for my little kitten. She sent me photos and updates every day, and I highly recommend her if anyone needs pet care services. Quedé muy satisfecha con la amabilidad y el cariño que Cathe le brindó a mi gatita. Me enviaba fotos y actualizaciones a diario, y la recomiendo ampliamente a cualquiera que necesite servicios de cuidado de mascotas.
