Pet care experience

Animal Empath! Your pet is priority

I’ve been around animals since I was 3 years old. Growing up, my family and I raised four beloved dogs and three cats. Now, at 21, I’m a college student away from home and miss being surrounded by the love of animals. Recently, I started volunteering to foster dogs, which has been an incredibly rewarding experience. This has made me realize how much I enjoy working with animals. I look forward to meeting your fur baby!

Catherine was amazing! It was my first time leaving my 3 year old dog for over a day and it was an out of state trip. She made Willow feel so loved and happy while I was away and reassured me with updates and pictures daily. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!!

Catherine is a true GEM! She is highly intelligent, caring and loves dogs 🐾 She was extremely accommodating to us and took excellent care of our two mini Aussies. Came on time, and not only walked them but stayed and played with them too by our pool. They love her. We will be using her for sure in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

Any pet I have the opportunity to care for will be my top priority. I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember and always treat pets with the utmost respect and love, just as I do my own. Recently, I have been training for a half marathon, so having a running buddy would be awesome! However, I also enjoy slow, long walks if that’s what your pet prefers. Additionally, my apartment complex features a beautiful, fenced-in dog park with separate areas for small and large dogs, providing a safe and fun space to play. Plus, there’s a fully equipped dog bathing room—perfect for keeping your pup clean and fresh after an adventure!

A typical day

A typical day for me starts with an early morning run to kick off the day. I then focus on my studies and make sure to accomplish what needs to be done. When I need a mental break, I enjoy taking a walk outside and soaking in the beauty of nature.

Before spending time with your pup, I'd love to know their energy level, how they interact with other dogs and people, and any concerns you have about them being outside in the heat. I always make sure to bring extra water on walks or runs to keep your dog well-hydrated.
