Availability

Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine! My large, fenced-in backyard allows for regular, supervised outdoor play and exercise, which is a priority through the day. I do work outside of the home, but I have two female roommates so pets are never left unattended for extended periods of time. Since I don't have any pets of my own, I am able to focus all my attention on yours! During meet and greets, I ask detailed questions in order to keep your pet on the same schedule as they are at home, to ensure they are comfortable and have their familiar routine.

Information Catherine A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has medical needs, allergies or dislikes certain activities/people/other animals before your stay. I would much rather work with a pet/parent to ensure a good stay!

A typical day

Each day, I start by ensuring all pets are fed and I take them outside to relieve themselves. Once needs are met- we can play with the hose outside, rip up some cardboard boxes, play hide and seek with treats, or enjoy hours of scratches next to me on the couch!

Focused, Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I only take one booking at at time! With over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for a diverse range of pets—including dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and amphibians—I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for animal care to every job. My most recent dog was a Rottweiler, who sadly passed from cancer last year. I currently don't have any pets, but my extensive background has equipped me with the skills to handle pets of all sizes, including large dogs, with ease and confidence. This means I can always ensure your pets are the only ones present in the home! Again, I only take ONE booking at a time. I have a large, fenced-in backyard with a full wood fence, offering a safe and spacious environment for outdoor play and exercise. I refrain from walking pets in the neighborhood to increase relaxation and safety for pets during their stay. Whether it's medication for your dog, daily feeding and maintenance for your cat, or specialized care for reptiles and amphibians, you can trust that your pets are in capable and caring hands. I always respond quickly, and always provide photos. A meet and greet is REQUIRED before a booking. For bookings longer than 5 days, a daycare day is a prerequisite to ensure a good fit. PLEASE NOTE: 1. I do have two female roommates. Both women are calm, kind, respectful, and love animals! Can be available to meet during Meet and Greets if desired. 2. This house is free of cigarette and tobacco smoke BUT incense, sage and bakhoor as well as wax warmers are used. These items are used well away from the reach of any pets and I am happy to launder any soft items provided before returning!

Catherine was awesome! She was very communicative, sent plenty of photos and videos, and definitely spoiled my babies! She was a positive energy from beginning to end! My babies loved staying with her and was able to get comfortable within the first night of staying.

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.
