Pet care is a dedicated part of my weekly routine. I structure my schedule around walks and drop-in visits, which allows me to be reliable, flexible, and responsive to pet parents’ needs. I plan my day to ensure pets receive consistent care and attention, including mornings, mid-day, and evenings as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I primarily care for pets in their own home, where they are most comfortable. I follow all written instructions closely, including feeding, medications, leash preferences, and home routines. I prioritize safety at all times — secure doors and gates, proper leash handling, and careful observation during visits and walks. I provide updates through Rover and communicate promptly if I notice anything out of the ordinary. I only communicate and book through Rover for safety and accountability.

Information Catherine I. would like to know about your pet

I appreciate knowing about any reactivity, anxiety, allergies, medication needs, or training cues ahead of time so I can plan appropriately and keep everyone safe. I love shy pets and am very experienced with them.

A typical day

During visits, I focus on meeting both physical and emotional needs. This may include walks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, litter box or yard clean-up, and calm companionship. I adjust activities based on each pet’s age, energy level, and personality — whether that means a long walk, gentle play, or quiet reassurance for shy or senior pets. I make sure pets are settled and comfortable before leaving.

Pet care experience

i've taken care of dogs, cats all my life. Their wellbeing is important to me. Their needs will be top priority. Let me know if there is anything specific that they need. I also am a dog walker and will make sure that they have the exercise and potty breaks that they need.

Catherine was awesome! She went above and beyond for my elderly cat with high medical needs and was very responsive. I felt very comfortable having her look after my cat

Catherine did a fantastic job with my cats during their drop-in visits. They were well-fed, cared for, and I loved getting the updates and photos. It gave me total peace of mind while I was away.

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.
