Pet care experience

Let me make your days worry free!

I'm a huge animal lover and was lucky enough to grow up with lots of pets from rodents to dogs to horses. I've walked big (150lb+) dogs, small dogs, and everything in between with no issues. Until I was 15 years old, my dad had my siblings and I convinced he was allergic to cats because he didn't want us asking to get one. Jokes on him that the majority of us are now cat parents. While I've had my menace of a cat (I love her to pieces even though she's turning my hair as gray as hers) for only a few years, I've still been around cats throughout my life and am attuned to their particular brand of affection. I have experience pet-sitting from bunnies to a pack of seven high energy dogs. If you're looking for a non-dog or cat sitter, give me a shot! I'm very determined to give pets the best care possible, and if I'm unsure of any instructions will not hesitate to ask for clarification no matter how menial the task may appear. No animal's needs are too particular or niche for me. Must walk counterclockwise around the block? Easy. Food must be microwaved for 12 seconds, but stop it with one second on the clock? No problem. Got to pretend their medicine is human food that was "accidentally" spilled on the floor and I need to "rush" to pick it up before Fido gets it? Done.

Safety, trust & environment

No amount of instructions are too much for me! I once left three hand written pages of notes on how to care for my hamster. I will follow them to the letter, and not hesitate to ask if I have any questions. Ensuring your family member is happy, healthy, and comfortable in their home is my number one priority.

Catherine provided absolutely exceptional care for my dog while I was away! She was incredibly attentive and sent detailed check-ins and updates, which gave me complete peace of mind. It’s clear she truly loves animals and treats them like her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!

Catherine was helpful and friendly as usual. I couldn't ask for someone better to help with my pet.

Our dogs loved Catherine! She took the time to ask questions to get to know our dogs and keep us updated with how they were doing while we were away.

Catherine has been a rockstar with our older dog. She was professional, on-time and very caring. Loved the pictures and update on our dog’s status. River.com has been a true blessing.

No information is too niche for me, but some big ones for me are: How social is your pet? What are they uncomfortable around? Any behaviors I should be aware of? Do they have any allergies/ what are they allowed & not allowed to eat?
