Dog Lover ❤️ Full time at home

Pet care experience

Hi you can call me Cathy :) I started being a Rover dog sitter when I leave my dog for a month in a care of dog sitter and had a very negative experience. As a fur mom I want you to be stress free knowing that your leaving your dog with someone who really cares and will treat them the way you do! I do daily updates: video and photos. I give them enough exercise (based on what is necessary for them) and will never leave them alone . They will be staying in a safe and pet friendly environment. Their health and safety is my top priority so please provide as much information . (e.g food allergies, chewers, runner , need to be crate in the night time etc) Please make sure that they are up to date on their vaccination and no fleas . Puppies and seniors (with special needs) are welcome. About my 🏡: Townhouse with 3 floors 1st floor is my gym/office area 2nd floor is where the dog stays Designated dog area: few steps from my front door. There is a dog gate In between stairs. Playpen and crate is available for puppies . Water gravity dispenser and varieties of dog toys are also accessible . I no longer allowed people to come and check inside my house for security reason. Rest assured that my home is a safe place for your dogs.

This was my first time using Rover. Catherine was very quick in responding and quickly put my mind at ease with tons of updates after I left my pup in her care. She was very accommodating and made sure my pup felt at home.

I have a mellow senior dog which can be a couch potato. She could be too excited upon meet up but only lasted a few minutes. She loves small dog and get overwhelmed with big ones.( but nowadays after doing Rover, she is ok with it !)My neighborhood is quite a decent one and lots of friendly dogs to play ! I can give an oral medication , shower and cook for your dog if they prefer other food than kibbles! My kids love and adore dogs they are also polite and knows not to play rough especially with small dogs. I trained them to always asked first the temperament of the dog before petting.
