Pet care experience
First, I want to thank you for viewing my page! It means a lot, there are a ton of sitters here on Rover. I've been working with dogs since I was a kid, started doing it professionally in 2013 through local dog daycares and boarding facilities. In the past 6 years, I’ve studied canine body language and behavior, pet CPR, various common dog illnesses, and many medications and how to administer them. I’ve also been able to study and learn the best practice for puppy care and allowing them to grow into happy, social, well-behaved doggos. I love just generally spending time with pups! I’m happy to take your pup on walks, runs, hikes, car rides, and field trips to the local pet store! I have 3 dogs of my own ranging from every end of the social spectrum. I have 1 very social pup, a nervous-at-first but social girl, and my special boy - who fear bites and is dog-selective. So, I have experience with dogs of all ranges of socialization. Over the last few years, I took a break from pet sitting to work with Indy’s homeless pets at IACS, where I was the Foster Coordinator, caring for all ages of dogs, cats, and other furry critters! I’ve also spent much of my free time photographing pets professionally, which is definitely one of my favorite things to do! p.s. I'm here for you. Whatever needs you/your pet(s) have, let me help you with them! Even if you just need me to take your pup to and from daycare, the vet, or a quick trip to the pet store! I'm your girl!
Reviews
Catherine was amazing!!! My animals loved her, very communicative, and loved the photos she sent me!!
Sophie seemed very happy when we returned! Thank you Catherine for the pictures and video while we were gone.
Catherine was so great to work with and she provided great care for our dog. Phoebe loves car rides so Catherine made sure to walk her and take her to different parks in the car. We appreciated the photo updates as well. We can’t thank her enough!
Was scheduled to house sit staying overnights but
About Catherine D.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
With over a decade of animal care experience, I am able to provide you with peace of mind that your pets are going to be safe and well-cared for while you’re away.
Information Catherine D. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, but would just like to know if your pup(s) have any anxieties, reactivities, or medications that require special timing or administration. If your pup has behavioral challenges, I would like to have an in-depth conversation about triggers and what you do to help them through it.
A typical day
Pups can enjoy (if allowed) walks to the local park, hikes, trips to the local pet store, and even just car rides around the block! We’ll hangout on the sofa together and watch Netflix, maybe even some DOGTV!

Availability
I’m currently pursuing my passion for photography part time with a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to provide daily loving care to any animals in need.
