Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Experienced, Flexible!
I am a friendly, professional 43 year old artist and mom. I have been taking care of various dog breeds since I was 10 years old, starting with three feisty Dalmatian puppies who grew into show dogs. I have experience caring for senior dogs of my family with various injuries and age disabilities which required heavy lifting and constant care and special diet needs. I am adept in feeding, crate training, walking, playing, health issues. I have been dog walking/sitting for neighbors, friends and family dogs throughout college in Boston, graduate school in Chicago and as and artist in New York City. Most recently my sister and I had a freelance dog walking business based around South Dartmouth, Martha's Vineyard and New Bedford, MA. I am an absolute dog lover--reliable,athletic, attentive, patient, calm under pressure and adaptable in various environments. I am available for long walks for athletic dogs, playing with your pup, devoting attention and care to senior dogs, dog sitting at home, quick jaunts for the day, or anywhere in between!

Ratings and reviews
Hello. Cate is wonderful with dogs in all shapes and sizes and stages of life. She took care of my two rescue Greyhounds for several months while I went abroad for work . They are notoriously skittish, high strung and require a great deal of exercise and she did a great job feeding them their special diet, exercise, play, snuggles. I didn't worry at all. She is reliable, patient, thinks fast and genuinely cares for animals. I wasn't sure if they wanted to come home!
Hey Rover, Cate was awesome with our pup, Pepper, as a pit/lab mix...she can be hi energy...but Cate's calm nature was perfect. She was also prompt and communicated well. Thank you Cate and Rover. 😁 🐕
