Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Catherine:). I started this small business years ago, as a pastime when I was living in San Francisco. I have a lot of experience with and love for a variety of animals! Now I’ve relocated to my former home state, Hawaii, and travel across the islands to visit with friends and family. I know the islands pretty well and travel inter-island for pet sitting as needed. I am grounded and reliable with squeaky clean references - the #1 pet/house sitter for acquaintances, friends, and family! I LOVE animals and understand the importance of routine walks, cuddles, and home maintenance. Your pet is my new companion :)). My communication style is clear, warm, and at a normal rate of frequency. Let's chat about how I can support you & your loved one :) Thank you, Catherine
Reviews
Catherine was two hours late for our meeting before we left on our trip, so we didn’t get to walk her through watering and solar needs. This made us wonder whether this was going to be a good fit. Over the two weeks we were gone, Catherine sent lots of photos and kept us up on happenings at home, which we appreciated. When we returned home, however, we found that items from several rooms had been rearranged, personal items had been used, and a lot of food was gone from the pantry. Catherine had used Dawn dish soap in the dishwasher resulting in the machine overflowing onto the wood floor. We have put a fan on the area to try to control warping. Although we wrote out a detailed schedule for watering, Catherine did not use it, saying that she didn’t water the plants on the covered patio for a week because it had been raining. Our two rescue dogs were skittish and wouldn’t come when they were called repeatedly when we first got home, which hadn’t happened after any of our other trips. Although Catherine seems like a nice woman, we don’t feel she was a good fit for our family. We will not be using her again.
Catherine is the sweetest!! She took such great care of my dog and sent me tons of updates and photos while I was away. I even came home to fresh flowers she had picked on their walks together. She left my home very clean and was just a pleasure to work with. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sweet, caring, responsible dog sitter. Thank you Catherine!!
Catherine was a joy! She was thoughtful, a delight to communicate with, took great care and gave lots of love to our dog and cats (and sent lots of great pics!), and even surprised us by washing the sheets and towels and giving our dog a bath! The place was left in great shape as well. We are 100% excited to work with Catherine again in the future!
Catherine was great about taking care of our cat for a week last minute. They really got along and it was excellent to see our CC the cat in good shape after our time away.

Availability
I work from home (remotely) as a full-time entrepreneur, writer, and artist. Petsitting is a perk that I do intermittently when my schedule is most spacious and I’m grateful for the well-aligned opportunities. I typically have a flexible schedule and am available for most shifts as needed.
