Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawsitively the Best 💕
Hi, I’m Cate! I’m a lifelong animal lover based in Downey, offering professional pet care services, including walking, hiking, running, and house sitting. I have years of experience working with dogs of all energy levels, from high-drive working breeds to gentle seniors and special needs pups. I also provide care for cats and other small pets, ensuring they receive just as much attention and enrichment as their canine companions. Whether your pet needs a leisurely stroll, an adventurous hike, or just some love and care while you’re away, I’d be honored to help. I have a soft spot for herding dogs and retrievers, but I truly love all animals. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet - I’d love to get to know your furry (or feathered!) family members! 🐾

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. Whether I’m walking, hiking, or house-sitting, I always ensure a calm, secure, and comfortable environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I pay close attention to their behavior, use positive reinforcement, and follow any specific instructions you provide. For walks and outdoor adventures, I prioritize leash safety, hydration, and weather conditions to keep your pet happy and healthy. During house-sitting, I maintain your pet’s routine, provide plenty of playtime and affection, and keep your home tidy and secure. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m committed to building trust with both you and your furry family members. 🐾
Ratings and reviews
Catherine is great helper for our family. A few days before leaving she came by our home so I can give her a quick introduction to the cats and how to feed them. In addition I had to give her extra instructions as to when to let our contractor who needed to work inside the house while I was gone. She updated us with texts as to how the cats were doing. I liked that. I really appreciate Catherine and will definitely hire her again.
Kate is a responsible, friendly, and capable woman who loves animals and the outdoors more than anyone I know. Rest assured that she will be extremely loving and patient with your doggie(s) and take excellent care of them in your absence!
