Responsible & reliable animal care
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Catherine! I have 10+ years experience with animal caretaking and love meeting new animals. I’ve lived in Seattle for 5 years and enjoy taking dogs on adventures in the city. I’m knowledgeable and reliable when it comes to any dietary needs and your animal’s health and well-being is my top priority. With my calm demeanor and experience in training, I work well with all pet personalities. I’ve long-term sat for dogs with extreme anxiety and also exuberant high-energy dogs. Rest assured, I can provide the same routine and structure as you do. I’m currently working part-time but have a flexible schedule and plenty of overnight sitting experience. I’d love to chat with you further about your pet and sitting needs!
Reviews
We’re so happy Catherine was able to stay with our Labradoodle while we were away for 2 weeks. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout the stay and we came home to a very happy pup! We will definitely be booking again :)
Catherine has been a great dog sitter for us. She is communicative, punctual, and takes great care of our dog. Most importantly, our dog is always so excited to see her which she comes over!
Catherine was very considerate and responsible both prior to and during her time with Samantha, who is a dog who needs a lot of people interaction! Recognizing that I was anxious about leaving Sam with someone new, she sent frequent pictures and updates. These were particularly important to me as I had to leave for the airport before Catherine got to the house so I could not see how Sam reacted to her arrival! She left the house in immaculate condition, even filling the gas tank on my car which I said she could use (she and Sam got to Discovery Park that way). I would recommend her highly.
Sent me pictures to let ne know how my boy was doing the whole time! Gave him good long walks and played often. Thanks again Catherine!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s security is my top priority. I supervise your pet both indoors and out. When it comes to other dogs on walks, I take a cautious approach, just in case. Please let me know your pet’s behaviors, history, and routine so I have a full scope before sitting/walking.
Information Catherine L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any dietary or health concerns. I have experience with elderly pets and pets on specific diets and am able to provide your standard routine. Additionally, it’s important to know your pet’s demeanor and how they interact with new people or other animals. Thanks!
A typical day
Local parks for fetch. If your animal needs extra exercise, jogs are also an option. Sometimes I have provided local hikes with medium/large dogs so let me know if that is something you or your pet are comfortable with.
