Pet care experience

Hello there! I'm Cathy, and after enjoying the Rover community for the past couple of years with my fur baby, I'm excited to officially become part of the Rover family as a dog walker and offer drop-in care services. I've been a lifelong pet enthusiast, having shared my home with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs over the last 40-odd years and I find immense joy in their company. About My Services: 🚶‍♂️ 1:1 Tailored Walks: Whether your furry friend prefers a stroll around the neighbourhood or craves the excitement of a solo adventure, I've got you covered. Bluebell, our lovable 5-year-old Schnauzer, is the reigning queen of our household and is always eager to meet new pals and join them on their adventures. If your dog enjoys one-on-one walks, we're more than happy to accommodate. 🏡 Drop-in Care Services: In addition to delightful walks, I'm thrilled to offer drop-in care services.

We were very happy with Alfie staying with Cathy and her family. She sent us regular updates and photos during his overnight stay so we were reassured that he had settled in well.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritise the safety, comfort, and well-being of your pets when caring for them in your home. Here's how I ensure a secure and positive experience: Secure Environment: I diligently check and secure all entry points to prevent any potential escapes. Ensuring a safe environment is crucial for your pet's security. Routine Adherence: I follow the routines and schedules you provide, maintaining consistency in feeding, walks, playtime, and any other specific requirements. This helps minimise stress and ensures your pet feels at ease. Detailed Communication: I maintain open and transparent communication throughout my time with your pet. Regular updates include informative reports on their activities, behaviour, meals, and any noteworthy incidents. You'll stay well-informed and connected with your pet's daily experiences. Respect for Your Home: Your home is treated with utmost respect. I make sure to leave everything as I find it, keeping the environment tidy and secure. By adhering to these practices, I aim to create a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for your pets in the familiarity of their own home. Your peace of mind and your pet's happiness are my top priorities. We are more than happy to stick to your pet's schedule whether that be feeding, walking, or taking medication. Just let us know what your dog requires and we will be happy to oblige. There's always free belly rubs available ;-)

Information Catherine L. would like to know about your pet

What your dog is like around other dogs (for reference when out on walks) • Their walk and feeding schedule • Where they typically sleep (in a crate, in their own bed, in which room of the house) • Any special requirements

A typical day

When it comes to the dogs under my care, fun and excitement are always on the agenda! Rest assured, the activities we choose are based on your dog's preferences, energy levels, and comfort. We'll work closely with you to understand their individual needs and incorporate activities that align with their personality and interests. Daily activities include Nature Exploration - exploring our local parks such as Longton Park as well as trails, and scenic spots such as The Downs or Grindley Park. I also love to keep our furry friends mentally challenged with treasure hunts, games and puzzles as well as lots of belly rubs.

As I work from home, I have the flexibility to accommodate most schedules, providing reliable and attentive care for your furry companions. As I am self-employed, I have the freedom to adapt my day to meet the unique needs of your pets. Whether it's early mornings, late evenings, or midday visits, I can tailor my availability to ensure your furry friend receives the attention they deserve. During term time, we do have a school run from 8-9 am and 2:30-4 pm, Monday to Friday. However, rest assured that even during these hours, your pet's care remains our top priority. When it comes to school holidays and half-term breaks. With no fixed commitments during these periods, we can readily adapt to your desired schedule, providing continuous care and undivided attention to your beloved pet.
