Pet care experience

Dedicated to top notch care!! 😻

I love animals of all types and have had cats in my home since I was a young child. I know and understand the feeling that accompanies the need to entrust their care to someone else in my absence, therefore, I always do my utmost to make sure that when caring for someone else’s cat companion, that they feel comfortable during their time away. I will be glad to send photos and notes as to how everything is going during my visits. Over the years, I have gained experience with administering medications; pills and liquids along with subq fluid administration having nursed a few of my own cat companions when they developed kidney disease.

Safety, trust & environment

The safety of your pet in my care and your home is a priority for me. I will take the following steps on each visit: 1. Upon arrival I always want to greet the pet first. 2. Feeding and watering comes next. 3. Litter box will be tended to on each visit. 4. Clean up and proper disposal of food related containers, used dishes etc. 5. Clean up of any other “cat mishaps” 😹 6. I will spend quality time with the pet which I like to do at the end of the visit so I am not rushing to get everything else done in the proper way. 7. I can take photos and send notes per expectations of the pet parent. 6. Ensure that door is securely locked on my way out.

Another great experience with Cathy. She always makes our old boy, Larry feel comfortable and loved. And she does a great job giving him his daily meds, which he hates! Thanks again Cathy!!

Cathy was an amazing sitter for our old boy, Larry cat. She went above and beyond to make our anxious cat feel loved and calm. We will definitely be asking for her to sit again!

I have known Catherine D. for many years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most loving and responsible pet caregivers I’ve ever met. She treats every cat and dog as if they were her own children, providing them with care, comfort, and endless affection. Catherine has always had pets in her home, and she even looks after lost or stray animals in her neighborhood with kindness and dedication. When my husband and I were grieving the loss of our beloved pets, Catherine was there for us with compassion and understanding, because she truly knows how deeply animals become part of the family. The world needs more people like her—gentle, trustworthy, and full of love for animals. We highly recommend Catherine D. to anyone seeking a devoted caregiver on Rover. Warm Regards, Irena and Jon Kusnir’s

Schedule

I currently work part-time and do some volunteer work, however, I still have plenty of time for drop-in visits as needed per your cat’s unique schedule.

Cats
Catherine can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Is your cat prone to hide when somebody comes to the house? Please let me know the spots so that I can make sure everything is ok on each visit.
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.
