Pet care experience

Pawsitively Trustworthy Care

I’ve cared for dogs most of my life, beginning with my own in childhood and continuing through years of pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I bring a strong sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and genuine affection for animals to every pet I care for. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, including puppies and seniors, and I always tailor my approach to meet their individual needs. I’ve also spent many years caring for horses, including my own, which taught me how to follow care routines precisely, stay calm in unpredictable situations, and build trust through consistency and kindness. I’ve cared for a cat in my own home since my teens, and while I’m primarily a dog person, I’m happy to care for cats with simple routines. I make sure they’re safe, fed, and comfortable.

House Sitting • May 31, 2026

Catie is the best! Sadie (my German Shepard) liked her right away. Catie walked her each day and most often twice. She sent pictures daily as well! I was gone 5 days and when I returned you could tell Sadie had grown to feel very comfortable with Catie. My home was neat and tidy! Vacuumed and clean sheets on the bed! They don’t come any better than Catie! I will be hiring her again when I go away!

Catie pet set our cat and dog for 2 weeks and was amazing! The pets were well cared for and well loved. She updated me frequently and kept the house neat and organized while we were away. She’s top notch and I highly recommend her!

Dog Walking • Feb 25, 2026

Catherine came over to walk and play with our dog Boyd. She spent the full 30 mins with him and provided him with lots of exercise and attention. She communicated well and I would definitely recommend her!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m currently in between jobs, which means I have flexible availability during the day, evenings, and weekends. I’m also open to short-notice bookings when my schedule allows. Whether it’s a morning walk, midday check-in, or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pet receives consistent, attentive care. I take pride in following instructions closely and keeping pet parents updated, so you’ll always know your dog (or cat!) is in good hands.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I follow care instructions closely, keep routines steady, and make sure pets feel secure and comfortable in their environment. I’m respectful of your space and always tidy up after walks, feedings, or playtime. I bring a calm, confident presence and years of experience with dogs, cats, and horses. That background has taught me how to read behavior, respond thoughtfully, and build trust through consistency and kindness. You can count on me to treat your pet like family and keep you updated every step of the way.

A typical day

I adjust each day to fit the pet’s personality and needs. Some love long walks and playtime, others prefer a quiet stroll and a cozy nap. I stick to their routine, follow instructions closely, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. There’s always time for treats, scratches, playing pall, and playing with their favorite toys.

It’s helpful to know ahead of time about your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. That includes feeding instructions, medication schedules, quirks, triggers, and how they typically behave around new people or other animals. If there’s anything they love (or really dislike), I want to know — it helps me give them the best care possible.
