Reliable & Enthusiastic Sitter!

A life-long cat and dog owner, I have been dog walking since my freshman year of high school. After 4 years of that, I progressed to house and pet sitting and have had many experiences doing so throughout college. Following my college graduation in 2025 and while I am in graduate school at VCU, I am looking to help out any families who need someone to look after their fur babies, whether for a weekend away or a daily walk while they’re at work! Reach out if you need someone!

Catherine took great care of my dog! She was responsible and communicative. Junie had a fun time on their walks.

Catherine has taken care of my dog when I'm away since she was a puppy. Stella runs to her any time she sees her in the neighborhood so she can pet her. Stella can be a bit of a barker but never with Catherine, she knows her and knows she is safe with her. Would definitely recommend her to any one looking for help with pet needs.

I highly recommend Cate as a reliable, responsible pet sitter! We have had her stay with our dog several times, and she always provides clear communication and safe, loving care for our Penny!

Nothing but good things to say about Catherine. When she watched my dog and cat, they were so happy! I know they were in good hands. Catherine is mature, responsible, and a genuinely nice person.
