My energy endurance > Your dog`s

Pet care experience

I have had 5 large dogs growing up, some of which needed special care due to physical disadvantages, non of which were pure bred. If you want to socialize your dog(s) more and if they are friendly, I love taking walks at the local parks. If your dog is a little too high energy at night, I am 100% down to go on a run or bring them to the park. If you need someone to review obedience lessons, I can do that too (I went through this as a kid). My since my dogs were bigger breeds, walking them was more of a workout for me, so do not let that be a concern.

Cat is the absolute best! We trust her wholeheartedly and she is so good with our pup. She even helps with training! 10/10.

Cat is the best! This was our first time using Rover with our new puppy and she was amazing. She had great communication, sent pictures everyday and was great about checking in with us.

If I could give Catherine 10 stars, I would!! My animals were in great hands the whole time I was away. Catherine took a lot of time and dedication to learn the ropes of my animals schedule. She asked questions to make sure she understood the instructions I left (yes, I might have wrote a book). While I was away, she kept me updated with info and pictures of my animals. I never once felt out of the loop. Usually, my dog and cats can get a bit mopey while I'm away, but with Catherine, it was quite the opposite. Even Amelia, my spicy cat, whose very choosey on who she's friendly with, cozied up to Caterine and sat in her lap. (Yes, there a pics to prove it. ?) Catherine, thank you again... I will definitely be in touch.

Safety, trust & environment

If I am house sitting I generally create a mini schedule so your pets get used to the daily plan and me being around consistently. I love taking pics of your pet(s) and sending them to you incase you miss them! At night time I am comfortable having the pets sleep in the bed with me or in the crate (whatever you prefer). Also since I am primarily studying during the day, if I am house sitting I will most likely be at your house for the majority of the day.

Information Catherine B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: if they play bite or bite at all if they pee when they get nervous if they have diet restrictions if they get along with other animals I have a soft spot in my heart for bigger dogs but little dogs can sneak their way in there. I also have a soft spot for Pitbulls. I know this is not a popular opinion, but I have my own pit and he is the BIGGEST baby I have ever met.

A typical day

I am a distance runner, so if your dog is a runner I would love to take them with me. I am also down to go to local parks or trails and walk around. I have a small SUV so I have no problem fitting bigger breeds.
