About Catherine F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I let your animals tell me how they want to be approached and handled. I don’t force myself on any creature, those both with fur and scales.
Information Catherine F. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I love going on walks with dogs, as working remotely means that I have to find unique ways for fitness and getting the wiggles out. Since I work from home, I’m available for potty breaks, companionship, and little check-ins whenever your pet needs them. Whatever your pet’s personality, I’ll match their energy and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away.

Pet care experience
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.

Reviews
Cat is so great with our boys! They love her :) we really appreciate her communication and care while we’re away.
Cat did a FANTASTIC job with our dogs…one of whom is VERY finicky! Thanks!!!!
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!
Catherine was wonderful with our cats! Patient, attentive and sent sweet daily updates and pictures. She eased our worries while being away and provided lots of comfort for our boys. Thank you Catherine ♥️
