Pet care experience

“The Dog Whisperer”

Hi my name is Catherine! I am a compassionate and attentive pet caregiver with hands-on experience caring for my 1-year-old Shih Tzu–Bichon mix, Willow. Through daily care, I’ve developed strong skills in feeding routines, grooming maintenance, potty training reinforcement, exercise, and providing a structured, loving environment for young dogs. In addition to personal pet care, I have professional experience working as a Veterinary Assistant, where I assisted with animal handling, basic medical care, administering medications, monitoring pet behavior, and supporting veterinarians during examinations and treatments. This background has strengthened my ability to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort in pets and respond appropriately. Friends, family, and clients often call me the “dog whisperer” because of my natural ability to connect with dogs, earn their trust quickly, and keep them calm and comfortable. I pride myself on patience, gentle handling, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. My goal is to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so every pet feels secure and happy while their owners are away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and a structured routine alongside my dog, Willow. I keep the environment clean, supervised, and stress-free. In a client’s home, I stick closely to the pet’s normal schedule so they feel secure. I follow feeding routines, walk schedules, medication needs, and provide companionship while keeping owners updated. With my Veterinary Assistant background, I’m also attentive to health and behavior, which helps me provide an extra level of care.

Catherine has taken care of my two chihuahuas many times. She has done drop in care as well as overnight / all day for up to a week. Catherine is absolutely wonderful with my pups, I trust her 100% in all aspects. She provides updates and pictures along the way. One of my pups in on a complicated medicine routine twice a day, Catherine has handled this perfectly. My dogs absolutely love Catherine. In addition, she is very respectful of our house, keeps it so clean, even launders her sheets and towels before leaving. Your dogs will be in excellent hands with Catherine!!

Catherine Hull is known for being able to have an immediate connection to the animals she watches. They attach themselves to her and much time is spent cuddling together. She is very responsible as she treats your pet as her own.

Catherine has such a special way of connecting with the dogs she takes care of. Each one is special in their own way and they sense how much she cares.

Schedule

Pet care is a consistent and meaningful part of my daily routine. As the owner of a 1-year-old Shih Tzu–Bichon mix named Willow, my day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, grooming, and reinforcing positive behaviors. My previous experience as a Veterinary Assistant has also shaped how I approach pet care week to week. I’m attentive to health, behavior changes, and overall well-being, making pet care feel second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t just a task in my schedule — it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day.

I always ask owners to share key details about their pet’s routine, personality, and needs. This includes feeding schedules, allergies, medications, exercise level, behavior around other pets, and any fears or triggers. Understanding these details helps me provide personalized care, keep pets comfortable, and maintain consistency with what they’re used to at home. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience for every pet.
