Pet care experience

Your pets are important to me

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.

Pets

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.

Dog Walking • 16 Jul 2026

Our pets LOVE Catherine. Tails wag as they go for a walk and wag when they get back! They look forward to more walks with Catherine.

Cat is an excellent communicator and good friend to our two cats. We felt well entrusted with the care for our blind cat.

House Sitting • 06 Jul 2026

Catherine did an amazing job house sitting and watching our high energy Australian Sheppard and two cats. We were gone for several weeks and knowing that our animals were in great hands was very assuring. She kept us updated with pictures and took our dog on daily walks. Our house was in great condition when we came back, she took care of mail/trash/etc. She responded quickly to messages and made sure we were on track to be home on time before she left. Catherine is great and I highly recommend her for any pet and house sitting needs! Thank you!

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

Schedule

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.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Catherine can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
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.
