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.
Reviews
Catherine so great sitter, she dedicated herself today to taking care Colby, who is only 6 month puppy. She kept great updates on Colby, and also gave us quiet advice on training. I look forward to using her service soon.
Catherine was an excellent dog sitter providing regular updates and really helped me out on short notice. My dog Dio loved his stay with her and will reach out to her first for any future dog sitting needs. She really cares about dogs!
Catherine recently took on our last minute dogsitting request for our puppy, Aloe, and we were so happy with our experience! I haven't used Rover in years and hadn't worked with a dogsitter in a long time so wasn't sure how it was going to go, but Catherine gave Aloe a wonderful doggy vacation while we humans were on our own trip. She provided frequent photo, video, and text updates, and was very communicative about how Aloe was doing. It gave me so much peace of mind that Aloe was in good hands. Aloe looked like she had a great time with Catherine's dog as well :) Thank you Catherine for taking such wonderful care of our pup!
Catherine is the best! She really cares for her clients. She offered chiquito some food toppings to help chiquito eat more. She is very accommodating and treats your dogs like royalty. I loved how she gave chiquito a spa day. I knew he was in good hands. She provided lots of photos and video updates. I will definitely come back for her services. 5 stars ⭐️🥳

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.

I have a small business which I remotely operating. My time is flexible with my two kids . I’m at home most of the time. I walk the dogs every morning and in the night time after dinner. I give them equal love ❤️, cuddles and kisses if they let me do! All dogs have different unique behaviors , so I’ll make sure to adjust based on that. Pls let me know your dog special needs, routines, energy level etc . I would be willing to accommodate them. Apparently I can only accommodate a small to medium breed dogs . I usually accepts 2 dogs from the same household and/or one more dog. During holiday I extend to 5 dogs only if the dogs are friendly with other dogs..
