Pet With Special Needs? I Can Help
I'm a cat mom to three rescues, including one with a chronic heart condition and asthma, requiring ongoing inhaler treatments and other medication. I'm also experienced caring for senior pets, and pets with special health needs or general anxiety. Every pet I care for gets spoiled like my own. Animals know when someone is comfortable around them and when someone actually cares. I take the time to get to know them, see what makes them happy, what stresses them out, whether they want to play or just want someone nearby for companionship.

Safety, trust & environment
I always offer new clients a free 30-minute meet-and-greet before the first booking, either at your home or a public location, so I can meet your pet(s) in person. This is the perfect time to show me where everything lives: food, bowls, litter boxes, and anything else I'll need for the visit. While you're away, I'll send daily updates and photos so you can relax and enjoy your trip worry free. My focus is on keeping your pet safe and secure while I am caring for your pet in your home. I make sure doors and gates are secure before I leave, and I do a check for anything out that could be dangerous to your pet. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly as given, no guesswork, and keep things as close to your pet's normal routine as possible, especially for seniors or pets with special health needs.
Ratings and reviews
I felt so comfortable leaving my two kitties in Kate's care. She did a great job keeping me informed and the kitties on their schedule.
Catherine was absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond! We felt comfortable on vacation with her taking care of our special needs kitty. She was thorough, followed directions, and provided a rover card that left us feeling stress-free on vacation. Many thanks to you!
Catherine has watched my two cats a few times while I’ve been on vacation, including when they were crazy kittens, and she’s always been great with them. She’s super reliable and actually follows all my very specific cat instructions lol, like setting out their favorite toys and treat puzzles. I always feel good knowing they’re being taken care of and getting plenty of attention while I’m away. I’d definitely recommend her!
I travel often and trust Cate completely with my cats in my home. Two need daily medication, and she makes sure they get it on time. She’s also great with their different personalities, including one who is very shy. Cate sends me pictures and updates, and I always come home to happy cats. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her, especially if your cat needs medication or a little extra care.

Schedule
I'm available mornings, for mid-day walks or playtime, and evenings, and can do multiple visits a day if your pet needs it. With 30 years caring for pets, including seniors and pets with special health needs, I know consistency matters, so you can count on me showing up when I say I will.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsCatherine can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
- Every pet is different, and I want to set them up for a great experience, so the more you tell me upfront the better. Let me know about any quirks, triggers, things they love, or things that stress them out. If they have medical needs or special handling instructions, I want to know that too. I have experience with a wide range of personalities and will always make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you're away.
