Availability
I'm currently working remotely doing project-based contract work, so I have plenty of availability and scheduling flexibility. If boarding or house-sitting, I will be fully available and no pet will be left alone longer than an hour.

I have a friendly chihuahua mix (8 lbs) and 2 cats, but if needed, I have plenty of room to give everyone their own space. I have an unfenced backyard with plenty of room to romp. Dogs will always be leashed or tethered in yard.

A typical day
I'm very fitness conscience and enjoy walks. A walk buddy would be absolutely ideal. There will be plenty of fetch and tug-and-war if your pet is the energetic type. Otherwise, im happy to just cuddle up if the vibe is more snuggly. I love hanging out with dogs and cats and just want to make it fun.

Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Cat, and it is my literal pleasure to care for your dog, cat, lizard, bunny, or parrot! What you can expect from me: -Fast, clear, and concise executive-level communication. -Deep breed-specific knowledge of behavior underpinned by my time as a vet receptionist -High quality photos -Easy, flexible scheduling -Complete focus and attention to detail -Genuine joy and enthusiasm to care for your pet In my previous life, I was a design program manager within corporate tech (Meta, Comcast, Pinterest), and I'm thrilled and privileged to pivot into pet care. I have cared for dogs of every size, flavor, and temperament. I have extensive experience training dogs, and quite frankly, I've watched a whole lot of Westminster dog show. In particular, I have specialized experience with shy or nervous dogs and will provide them the space and understanding needed to relax and feel comfortable. I am happy to walk or jog to help burn canine energy. Not afraid to get down in the dirt and play! I have been deeply involved in cat rescue since 2020, when I began working remotely. I have fostered dozens of cats over the years. This includes kittens with complex medical issues. I am very capable at medicating cats and kittens as well as identifying when a cat may be feeling unwell. When you board with me, your pet will not be left alone for more than 1 hour. I only board pets from one household at a time and provide dedicated personal care. When your baby is at my house, they are family. Feel free to reach out with any additional questions.

Reviews

We were so worried about leaving our dog when we had to travel for a memorial service but Catherine was so wonderful! We could see from the pictures and videos she sent that Joey was so happy with her. Knowing he was doing so well made leaving him so much easier. We would not hesitate to leave him with Catherine again.
Catherine was very friendly, on time, sent pictures, and was even able to get our boy to play for a while (he’s not very social!). 10/10, highly recommend

Definitely recommend Catherine! She was great with my dog Deli and made sure she was happy and well taken care of! Catherine went above and beyond on Deli’s walk :)

From the first meet and greet, we felt comfortable having Cat take care of our girl! She was professional, punctual with every scheduled visit, sent me pics of their time together and completely set my mind at ease. We will DEFINITELY be booking with her again. Thanks for taking such great care of Parker, Cat!!
