Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety and a low stress environment while keeping your pets routine as consistent as possible. I am sure to respect the space I am in whether that be your home, backyard, local park, or neighborhood. I am happy to update you as an owner as much as you'd like whether that be several times a day or only in case of emergencies. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know all you can about your pets! What they like/don't like, their normal daily routine, and anything else I should know.

A typical day

I love all types of pets - energetic and relaxed. I love to walk in the neighborhood or visit a park and would be happy to have a puppy with me. I also am happy to bundle up on the couch and binge watch one of my favorite shows.

Pet care experience

I have cared for cats, dogs, and even chickens for the past several years at a variety of different houses around Oregon and Washington. I absolutely love animals and treat every pet as if it's one of my own by prioritizing their safety and happiness. I love to go on walks so am always up for an energetic pup but also love a cozy night in with a cuddly furry friend. I'm eager to learn more about your pet(s) and will always keep you updated whether we are out on a walk or if we are keeping each other company several days. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!

Catherine is great! She is attentive, thorough, and communicative. My pup loved hanging out with her.

Catherine did a great job watching Nacho! She sent informative updates to us and quickly let us know us if anything went awry. She followed all of our instructions and also went the extra mile to do helpful things around the house, like take out the trash and strip the linens at the end of her stay. She was friendly and easy to communicate with the whole way. We’d definitely have her watch our dog again.

Catherine did an exceptional job caring for my puppy, Ruby, while I was gone. She took Ruby to the park, played with her in the yard and had hang out cuddle time. Ruby and the house were in great shape when I returned. Thanks, Catherine!

Catherine was wonderful with our cats! She wonderful with communication, did a great job giving our little old lady her liquid meds via syringe, and our house is nice and tidy and our cats are happy and healthy! We will absolutely be booking with her again for future trips.
