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. 🐾
Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I’d love to know about their routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. Some important details include: • Energy level & exercise needs (Do they love long hikes or prefer short walks?) • Temperament & behavior (Are they shy, reactive, or social with other pets?) • Medical needs (Any medications, allergies, or mobility issues?) • Feeding schedule & dietary restrictions • Favorite activities & toys (What makes their tail wag?) • Training & commands (Any cues or house rules I should follow?) The more I know, the better I can provide safe, personalized care and make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away! ?
A typical day
A typical day with your pet is all about fun, exercise, and plenty of love! Depending on their energy level and needs, we might start with a morning walk or run, followed by playtime and enrichment activities to keep their mind engaged. For high-energy dogs, I offer longer walks, hikes, or even jogging sessions to help burn off extra energy. Senior dogs or more relaxed pets can enjoy gentle strolls, cuddle time, and enrichment toys to keep them happy and comfortable. If I’m house-sitting, I stick to their normal routine—feeding, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention—so they feel safe and secure while you’re away. And of course, plenty of belly rubs, treats (if allowed), and companionship throughout the day!

Pet care experience
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! 🐾

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!
