Information Catherine C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know a little bit about your dog’s preferences, fears, and favorite things. Information about your dog’s habits and normal routine is also helpful.

A typical day

I like to do things that the dog is used to doing, to make their time away from their parents as close to routine as possible. I know many dogs love to play, sniff new scents, enjoy a massage, and get some exercise and fresh air.

Patient & Loving Care for Dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve owned dogs for the past 20 years and they’ve always been my best friends. I’m not a very athletic person and don’t participate in sports, but I do love walking, which is even more enjoyable with a dog by my side. In the past I have volunteered as a dog walker for a dog rescue in the South Bay, which introduced me to a variety of breeds and canine personalities. I have a senior Labrador-mix from Asia that was previously homeless and rescued from the streets. [Gypsy passed away in 2023.] My goal is to be as careful and caring with my clients’ pets as I am with mine. Dogs are as unique as people; they have different needs, personalities, and preferences. I am happy to tailor each booking to the dog and pet parent’s needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions! *Due to my size, I’m unable to handle large dogs that pull on a leash.

Catherine was awesome! So sweet with our pup and even did a drop in to go over everything so we were prepared for our first visit. Would definitely trust her with our dog again!

Catherine is the BEST! Hands down, the best dog sitter! This is our third time having Catherine care for our dog and once again, it was a great experience. We love that she sends detailed messages with photos after each visit. She not only makes sure of dog is cared for but also our home. She makes the home looked lived in while we’re away and I’m so appreciative of her services. Thank you, Catherine! ☺️🐶

Best dog walker in RPV. Great with our senior dog who is partially blind and deaf. Very gentle and sensitive towards our dog’s needs. Would definitely book again.

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.
