Experienced dog walker/animal lover
Pet care experience
Hi! My name might be Cat, but I am the biggest dog lover ever! I have had pet dogs ever since I was a young girl. Being away for college made me miss my shih tzu, Chip. I have experience as a Wag dog walker, and now that I live in an apartment, I am available to board dogs during the day or overnight! Note, I have special skills in administering medication (pills). I graduated from GW in 2022, but I work remotely so I am able to hang out with your pups all day! I have plenty of time to go for walks, potty breaks, play with your dog or give them a treat. I am flexible in terms of long-term or short term schedules! I live right in DuPont Circle and right by a dog park, so your four legged friend and I will have plenty to do throughout the day. There are no other dogs in my house, but plenty of friends with dogs who would love to play with yours!
Reviews
Cat did a fantastic job taking care of my elderly, special needs dog while I had to take an unavoidable trip out of town. I found her to be conscientious, responsible, and caring towards my dog; I was encouraged by all the questions she asked to ensure that she would meet my dog's needs (such as daily medications) and keep him comfortable and happy. As someone who similarly has a small elderly dog in her family, Cat also understood the concerns I had about keeping my little peanut safe from big aggressive dogs and random hostile people during his walks outside. Bonus: her Dupont Circle neighborhood is very safe and lively with many residents walking around outside, and the dogs who live there are friendly doodles, retrievers, and various small fluffy pooches. All of this kept me at ease during my trip knowing my dog was in good hands. I also very much appreciated her daily updates and her flexibility in handling trip scheduling hiccups. Cat is an all-around great sitter who I hope to rely on again, and I highly recommend her to others.
Cat was great watching our dog Goose for a long weekend! She was flexible when we needed to drop off a night early, and good with helping Goose get comfortable with the elevator ?. We got daily updates and Goose seemed to have a good time!
Catherine was great with Heidi and very accommodating. She made sure to keep us posted the entire time and Heidi enjoyed her stay with her. Definitely recommend!
Catherine was great! She was communicate, responsive and flexible. Nero had the best day. We will be back. Thank you!

Availability
I naturally wake up early, so I am able to take dogs for a walk before work. Since I work from home, I can take them for walks as needed throughout the day and provide them constant attention during the day as well.
