Safety, trust & environment

I treat every dog and cat like my own, which means I treat them like family! I know it can be daunting to trust someone to come into your home and take care of your pet, but I will do everything I can to make you and your dog/cat as comfortable as possible!

Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet

I have extensive experience with administering oral medication (including liquids via syringe) for both dogs and cats. I will happily accommodate your pets needs! Let me know how I can best create a safe, enjoyable environment for your pet.

A typical day

It’s incredibly important for dogs to have both physical and mental stimulation on walks. I am committed to ensuring the safety of your dog while they’re in my care, and on walks I am hyper vigilant when it comes to sniffing/consuming anything. I like to stick to sidewalks or routes in your immediate neighborhood to ensure your dog is comfortable!

Pet CPR certified professional!

Pet care experience

I am a recent college grad, and began working as a “pet care professional” for a pet care (dog walking, feeding, pet sitting, etc) company in Northern Virginia while in school. I am certified in Pet CPR, after taking the course at a local animal shelter. I love animals and would very much appreciate the opportunity to take care of your favorite friend! Services include dog walking, playing fetch, feeding, treats, and extra “TLC” while you are away. And for cats, I can feed, change the litter box, give treats, play, and of course... cuddle! I will put your pets first, always. I know how much they mean to you! I have my own dog, so play dates can always be arranged to get out some extra energy!

Catherine was absolutely excellent! My dog needed extra care for a foot injury including antibiotics, pain meds, and eye drops since he’s blind and she handled everything perfectly. She was attentive, careful, and kept me updated throughout. I felt at ease knowing Joey was being cared for well.
