Pet care experience

Walks + Naps + Treats + Fun

Hi, I’m Catherine, a lifelong dog lover based in East Port Saint Lucie! I grew up surrounded by dogs and truly believe they make life brighter and more joyful. Not long ago, I said goodbye to my beloved Shi Tzu, with whom I shared countless long, adventurous walks—so I understand how important it is to trust someone who will treat your pet like family. I offer reliable dog walking and in-home pet care for pups of all sizes (0–101+ lbs). Walks can be tailored to your dog’s needs, from quick potty breaks to fun, energetic strolls of 20–45 minutes. I’m also happy to provide plenty of playtime, belly rubs, fresh water, and updates to keep you connected while you’re away. Since I currently work from home, I’m flexible and can accommodate early morning, midday, or evening walks. Weekends are completely open, so your pet will get the attention they deserve. Whether your dog is shy, energetic, or a seasoned adventurer, I’m here to make sure they’re safe, happy, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family member!

Very happy with the care my dog received with Catherine! She sent lots of pictures and updates. I was so happy to hear that my dog was doing well. It is hard leaving your pet when going out of town- so having the communication that they are being well taken care of and having fun is very appreciated!

Catherine does a great job with our little Frenchie. She always keeps me relaxed knowing he’s in good hands by good communication and lots of photos. We have used her twice now and will absolutely continue.

Catherine & Sean were wonderful with Zoey. She sent me pics and updates everyday while I was in Iceland! It definitely made me feel better knowing she was being loved since this was the first time I’ve used Rover. I will definitely be asking her to watch Zoey again!

We can’t say enough good about Catherine. Our 10 month old puppy came back with better manners since she left with. The pictures and videos every day let us know we had chosen the right Sitter. We will definitely be back.

Schedule

I currently work from home, which allows me to offer flexible care for your pets. I’m available for early morning, midday, or evening walks during the week, as well as full availability on weekends. My experience walking my adventurous Shi Tzu taught me to tailor walks to each dog’s needs—typically ranging from 20 to 45 minutes.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m in your home or welcoming your dog into mine, I will treat your space and your pet with care and respect. In your home, I’ll follow your routines and preferences to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free. In my home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment where your dog’s needs and habits are fully catered to. I take safe, scenic routes for walks, avoid busy streets, and ensure every outing and visit is tailored to your pet’s well-being and happiness.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs both physically active and mentally engaged. We might play interactive games, discover new scents around the neighborhood, and explore a nearby park for a change of scenery. I’ll provide plenty of affection, fresh water, and breaks to ensure your dog is happy, healthy, and comfortable.

Please let me know about any special needs, routines, or behavioral quirks your pet may have so I can provide the best care possible. Information about dietary restrictions, medications, triggers (like loud noises or other animals), and favorite toys or treats helps me create a safe and positive experience tailored just for your dog.
