Pet care experience

A 2nd home 🏡🐾

Hi there! Animals truly mean the world to me and I’ve cared for every kind you can imagine at some point in my life. I was a volunteer for Miami-Dade Animal Services for several years; assisting with grooming, walking & socializing in preparation for many successful pet adoptions. During my time as a volunteer, I adopted my *late* dog from there (adorable 🦞 in 1st photo) which was the most rewarding decision I’ve ever made. She had a cerebellar disorder when I adopted her as a puppy, but that did not prevent her from living an extraordinary life. Over her lifetime, I gained experience walking her with a sling & administering her necessary medication twice daily, so I’m a great fit when caring for any animal with special needs.

Tina absolutely loved her time with Catherine! She was so loving and gentle with my little girl. Catherine was super professional and kept us updated the whole time with photos and videos. Tina loves to play and go on walks, and Catherine made sure she got plenty of both. I feel totally confident leaving Tina with her again in the future!🙏🏼🥰

I can’t thank Catherine enough for taking such great care of Bentley! She followed all my instructions perfectly, gave him his seizure meds, took him on nice walks, and sent regular updates that gave me peace of mind while I was on a mini vacay. It’s clear she really loves dogs and takes pride in caring for them. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter! I have found Bentley’s second momma!

Catherine and her husband are both very caring and trustworthy. It was our first time leaving our Toby with a dog sitter and from our first meet and greet with Catherine, it was very clear that he would be well cared for. We got updates regularly and she was quick to respond should we have questions. Would recommend to others and we’re happy to have found our go-to dog sitter!

Catherine was amazing. She treated my babies as they were their owns. She was very polite, kind and professional at all times. I will definitely use her service again and again. I know my babies were in good hands. Catherine, thanks a million.

A typical day

Every animal has a different idea of how much activity they find enjoyable on a day to day basis. I’m happy to be curled up on the couch watching tv with your fur baby, going on long walks around the neighborhood (especially to the lake nearby) or both! I’m here to make them happy, whatever that looks like for them.
