Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet

I think I would like to be aware of size and temperament of the dogs or cat. Also what does the cat or dog enjoy doing? What makes them happy, sad or nervous? I would try to meet the needs of each animal individually.

A typical day

I enjoy long walks so I am a perfect fit for large breed/active breed dogs. I enjoy throwing balls and toys as well. In addition I enjoy snuggling and loving any dog or cat.

Retired teacher and animal lover ❤️

Pet care experience

I have owned animals my entire life (both cats and dogs) and feel they are truly members of the family! My household currently has 3 Huskies and 1 black Labrador. I enjoy walking them in our neighborhood and take them down to Riverwalk occasionally as a special treat! I feel that pets truly are a part of your family and I treat them with the love and care they deserve!!❤️❤️ I have raised puppies and have experience senior dogs (and cats). I have some experience give meds (oral). Now that I am retired, I was looking for something to do that would give me a sense of purpose and that I am passionate about😊 Pets are that for me!!! My schedule is very flexible as well so I can accommodate a variety of schedule needs (even overnights) I have no other work related commitments so I have an open schedule. I am available days, overnights, weekends and holidays. I enjoy walking as part of my daily routine and would love the opportunity to spoil your fur baby with lots of love ❤️ I can provide whatever services you need!!! I can do drop ins and walks in your neighborhood (even a trip to the dog park if there's one nearby and are ok with that) I can also do house sittings in your home when you are away.

Our two kitties are friendly but shy of strangers, so we didn't expect much interaction between them and Catherine. Not so; by the second day everyone was the best of friends, Maybe the cats can sense kindness because we believe Catherine went out of her way to be kind to them. She spent time with them and communicated promptly with us while we were gone. We loved what she did for us, and for sure she is our "go-to" person for future pet care.

She was absolutely perfect in every way!❤️ Kind, flexible, and understanding! She took a big burden off us at a very stressful time! Hope she’s available next time we need someone!🌻

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.
