Safety, trust & environment

I’m very conscious that every pet has different needs. With some pets, long walks and high-energy activities are what make them happy, but I am equally happy to hang out at home and give them extra snuggles.

Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet is an escape artist, if they need medications (and how they should be administered), and their daily walk/play schedule.

A typical day

I am very familiar with the routine that accompanies an active dog’s lifestyle. I have a border collie and some of our favorite activities are long nature walks, fetch, and tug-of-war :) I am also happy to run with your pet!

Pre-Veterinary Student

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a pre-veterinary student at UVM studying Animal Science and have been accepted to the University of Glasgow Veterinary School. I’ve worked in a vet clinic and have experience giving medication. I have dog and cat care experience, as well as having a dog and two cats of my own. I know what it’s like to want the best for your pets and would love to provide that for them.

Catherine watched our pups for several days while we were gone. She did a great job even though our cattle dog was being fussy and made sure to give us updates throughout the day!! We’re grateful that we found her.

Catherine was so great with our husky Wilson while we were away for 5 days. She sent a lot of updates and photos, and took him on several walks and a run. She also left our house as clean as we left it, which was so nice to come home to after being away. We would definitely book her again!!

Catherine was communicative and took great care of our boy, Salty. Salty is getting older and is anxious when we’re away, but Catherine was reassuring with lots of updates & photos. Thank you, Catherine!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
