Pet care experience

Wagging tails to slithering scales

I have a sweet collie dog, two large cats, and a 23 yr old ball python I’ve had since grade school (we’re surprised he’s still around too). I’m experienced with traditional pets, rodents, and reptiles. I am a 80% remote worker - if I’m not home, I’m traveling for work, which I mark off on the calendar as unavailable - so if you can book me, I am around for your pets throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, or a little shy, I’m happy to follow their routines. I treat every home with respect, and every animal like family. ⸻ 🐶 Dogs | I am happy to hang with your pup at your home or visit for long walks. I do 3+ miles with my own dog and look forward to having different buddies with me on my walks. 🐱 Cats | If I’m sitting for your cat, I will give them all the love or space that they need. My cats are the mascots of my home, and I absolutely love meeting new kitties. I will be available for play, attention, and cuddles, or simply being someone in the house so that they’re not lonely. —Unique Family Members— 🐭 Rodents | I’ve had 6 pet rats in my life and think they’re some of the most wonderful animals: smart, affectionate, and full of personality. I also have experience with hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. 🦎 Reptiles | Although I only have Rex right now (my 23 yr old ball python), I’ve also owned a variety of lizards, amphibians, snakes, and feeder animals throughout my life. From a bearded dragon to a leopard and crested gecko, I’m familiar with preparing collard green salads, dusting crickets, maintaining humidity and temperature, and ensuring overall habitat health. I’ve ordered crickets in bulk—so I know they require care too. While Rex is currently fed frozen rodents, I’m also comfortable managing live prey if your reptile/s require them.

House Sitting • Oct 20, 2025

Catherine was fabulous with our dog and was a great house sitter too…we came home to a happy pup and a clean home! We loved her amazing communication and the pictures she sent while we were away. We enjoyed our trip knowing he was being well cared for! Highly recommend Catherine for pet sitting!

Boarding • Jul 09, 2025

Catherine was great! This was Orca’s first time boarding with someone he was unfamiliar with. She did a great job making Orca feel comfortable. He had some separation anxiety and she navigated it very well. Her updates and photos made my vacation that much more relaxing, as I knew he was in good hands.

Schedule

As a remote worker, I’m available throughout the day. My mornings and evenings are flexible, so I can match your pet’s normal schedule. If you can book me, I should be available.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Catherine can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
It’s helpful to know things like: • Feeding schedules and portion sizes • Medication needs or health concerns • How they do on walks • Crate use, favorite toys, or comfort items • Any quirks, fears, or things to avoid (like thunder, mail trucks, or certain handling) For exotic pets, I need to know temperature, lighting, feeding routines (especially for live feeders), and how you monitor their health and behavior. The more I know, the more I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home.
