Pet care experience

Focused, Reliable Pet Care

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 work outside the home during the week! For pups that are crated when left alone, I have an XL crate that easily fits most breeds. 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!

So incredibly thankful for the love and care and attention Catie gives our babies. They have big personalities and are on medications on top of that. I know they’re in safe hands and are having their own little vacation at her home. She’s the best!

Catherine is so loving and mindful of my dog Nico’s needs. She went over and beyond to take care of him. We love her and vouch for her! Your pet will be in good hands 🥰

Finding Catherine was a blessing! She was super responsive when I first reached out to ask about watching our dogs- one of which is paralyzed (and stinky) - and assured me taking care of him would be no problem. She loved on our doggies, sent plenty of updates the first day, and gave them all the treats and outside time and cuddles to make them feel at home. I was nervous trying to find a sitter and am so grateful we found Catherine.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful Catherine is - my cat Max loves her, and she is simply amazing with him. She always gives him so much attention and affection when she is caring for him. I love getting the pictures, notes and updates each time she drops in to care for him. He was comfortable around her from day one ; I have had her look after my fur baby several times already and I will be rebooking with her again. Thank you, Catherine.

Schedule

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 strive to follow the same schedule as your baby does at home! During meet and greets, I ask detailed questions to ensure pups are comfortable and have their familiar routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are never left unsupervised outside. All pets must be vaccinated, flea and tick free, and able to be crated if necessary. I strictly adhere to any and all care instructions, especially for animals with sensitive care needs.

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!
