Happy pets are my priority!
Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs as part of my family since I was born. My mom worked in an animal shelter so I’ve had experience with a wide range of dog breeds and temperaments including: Chihuahuas, Dalmatians, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Terriers, Dachshunds, and other mixed breeds. Our family chihuahua birthed 2 litters of pups and we raised both litters into adulthood. My recent experience caring for dogs includes fostering dogs until they are adopted. I have been a Rover sitter since December 2020 and I love it so much! About me: I am a gig worker: dog sitter/walker, babysitter, personal shopper, and food deliverer. My schedule is flexible, and on days that I have Rover visitors, my full attention is given to your furry friend. I live with my boyfriend, and he works from home full-time so your pet will never be left alone. My boyfriend has also grown up with dogs as part of his family since he was a child. He has helped me foster dogs and care for Rover visitors throughout my entire time as a Rover sitter. I love to go on walks in the park, hikes, and to the beach so if your pet loves any of those things please let me know! Experience: I have cared for puppies that are partially vaccinated or newly vaccinated so I can keep them away from other dogs if needed. I have cared for senior dogs that are low energy, but enjoy being close to someone. I have cared for energetic dogs that need lots of play time and/or running time. I have cared for dogs that were sick and being nursed back to health before adoption. I am comfortable caring for any age of dog from puppies to senior dogs. I am comfortable administering oral medication to your dog as long as detailed instructions are provided. I will take your dog out to potty every 2-3 hours. I will take your dog for a walk daily. I will treat your furry friend as if it were my own!
Reviews
Catherine was great with Milo who was recovering from acl surgery and had several restrictions and needed medications. She took great care of him!
Catherine always takes amazing care of Chase! Super dependable and my go-to sitter :)
Catherine took great care of chase as always . Happy to find someone so caring to leave him with for longer trips
Catherine was great and took wonderful care of Milo. She communicates often. Will continue to use her.
About Catherine F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with my boyfriend. We have an enclosed balcony that dogs are allowed on, and we allow dogs on our furniture. I have a medium sized crate, and extra blankets, food & water bowls, treats, tennis balls, poop bags, and puppy pads that can be used if you forget to pack anything for your pet during their stay. I usually send updates with pictures/ videos about your pet twice a day (once in am & once in pm). However, you are always welcome to message me if you need an extra picture or update throughout the day :) I have my own car so I am able to drive your pet to their vet in case of an emergency. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out!

Information Catherine F. would like to know about your pet
What feeding schedule does your pet have? Please include serving sizes. (example: 1 cup of food at 9am & 1 cup of food at 5pm) If you bring treats for your dog, how many can they have per day? What time does your dog wake up in the morning, and go to sleep at night? Does your pet need medication? If so, what time(s) should it be administered? Are there any areas your pet doesn’t like to be touched?
A typical day
My neighborhood is very walkable with plenty of grass areas, so I can go on short or long walks depending on your pet's stamina. There is a park walking distance from my apartment. I typically walk your pet to the park with a blanket & water and relax there for 30min - 1 hour, then walk back. If you're comfortable with me driving your pet in my car then we can go to other parks, on hikes, or to the beach! I love an excuse for a beach day :) I have some tennis balls and a few small squeak toys that your pet can play with, but I encourage you to bring your pets favorite toys!
