Pet care experience

Will make you and your animals day!

Hi! My name is Catherine Gurd and I am a collegiate student-athlete looking to help pet owners by watching their animals. I have a lot of experience when it comes to taking care of animals. I have worked as a veterinary assistant for the last three summers at VCA animal hospitals. I know how stressful it can be to find a pet sitter and I am here to make this a stress free experience for you!

In a clients home, I will always leave the house how I enter it. If there are any accidents I will always do my best to clean them up.

Catherine watched my pup for 5 days while I was out of town. She showed up on time, made sure Nash had food & water, and even put a show on for him when she left.

Catherine is amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy and we are so grateful that Catherine made it so easy. She sent cute pictures that reassured us our dog was doing alright and she followed our instructions perfectly! Definitely recommend!

Catherine is an animal lover and they gravitate to her. In her family they call her the dog whisperer. She interned last summer under a Vet and got to see many different surgeries and helped take care of the animals before and after. She is very loving towards all pets and would take great care of your animal while it is in her care.

Let me know if your dog has any issues or needs that I can account for before taking care of them. If they pull hard, or if they don’t do well around other people/dogs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
