Safety, trust & environment

Although I do not offer in-home services, I prioritize safety, trust, and communication in the owner's home. Keeping your pet safe, communicating regularly through the app, pictures, and creating a bond are important objectives I set to achieve during each visit.

Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet

What are some of their favorite activities? What is their day-to-day routine? Is there a preferred walking-route? What are some personality traits of your pet? Any additional important information you think I should know!

A typical day

I love just hanging out with pets! After a walk, food and water refresher, I typically sit with them, play with any toys they like, give them tons of pets, rubs, and snap some cute pictures!

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Catherine and I am currently living and working in the West Chicago suburbs. I wanted to find a place where I could express my love for animals...so I hopped on Rover in 2019 and I have been here ever since! I have loved every minute of it. My purpose is to make sure that you feel at ease when you are away from your house and know that your pet and is under careful watch and great care! I have care experience with dogs and cats -- I provide services for house sittings and drop-in visits. I look forward to having a pet of my own one day, but as graduate college student, this is the perfect way to make connections and hang out with some cool pets! Let me know if I can be of service! :)

Catherine took great care of our persnickety pets, including our elderly dog and feisty cat. She was a very kind and conscientious houseguest as well which is much appreciated! So grateful to have someone we can trust to care for our babies so well when we travel!

Catherine did a great job taking care of Kona in our home! She sent pictures throughout the weekend showing Kona on walks and happily outside. She kept our home clean was very friendly and responsible. Thank you Catherine for making our weekend away possible!

Catherine was great! Our animals all loved her, and she was very responsive and responsible. She helped us out with a somewhat last minute request. We’ll definitely use her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
