Experienced Dog walker & companion
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Catherine and I have a great love for animals, especially dogs. I am a Milwaukee native and a student at UW-Milwaukee. Growing up, I frequently dog sat for neighbors, and family, which I still do. I have been walking multiple dogs daily, for quite some time, with another app service called Wag. I would love to expand my client basis even further with Rover! I am familiar with an array of breeds that have different temperaments and exercise needs; from Pit Bulls and German shepherds to Corgis and Chihuahuas, etc. I have experience in dealing with hyperactive and fearful dogs. I have been successful in my techniques that gently calm those that are nervous or timid. I am confident in my ability to identify a dog's triggers and how to address them- The dog's safety comes first. I have a pit bull mix of my own, whom I rescued three years ago, along with a puppy that we recently adopted from the WHS. Walking and caring for dogs is rewarding on many different levels. I look forward to building a relationship with new dogs and their humans through Rover!
Reviews
Catherine was amazing! Her updates were thorough and you can absolutely tell she loves looking after animals! We felt at ease knowing she was taking care of our cat over the weekend and I loved the pictures she took!
Catherine is very intuitive and helps my Toby, who has separation anxiety, get through the day happily. She does a great job of communicating with me, and her photos of my pets' daytime adventures are amazing. I also value her experienced advice which has helped me help my anxious dog and some behaviour issues.
Catherine was fantastic and gave such detailed updates with photos. We know Margeaux was in good hands and will definitely be using her in the future!
Catherine is extremely reliable, caring and attentive to our Rhodesian Ridgeback. As a large puppy, he can be quite a handful, but she does a great job with walking and feeding him during the day. She puts our mind at ease knowing he’s taken care of.
About Catherine E.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have been in dozens of clients homes over the years. I walk into each home with professional driven boundaries that I’d want in my own home. If I can’t find something or have a question, I will text/call. I’m comfortable with on the spot problem solving, cleaning up, & making sure the animals needs are put first.
Information Catherine E. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dog's temperment and how s/he behaves with new people. A list of commands and/or gestures that you use in training your dog would be very helpful! I need to know about any allergies, potty schedules, feeding times, and any medications your dog may be taking.
A typical day
We will go on fun walks in your neighborhood or to a park near by. There could be tons of fetch to be played along with all of your other toys! Lots of pets, snuggles, and belly rubs are included for cool down time.
