Hairy Pop-Ins Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you for stopping by my profile page. I look forward to spending time with your furry baby. First, I love to walk doggies. Whether we hike or stroll your pet will set the tone of our walks/visits. Special needs pets have my heart—will gladly give meds including shots on time and gently. I have equipped my house and yard with ramps and a doggie door for easy transition between spaces; ramps for the couch and from the deck to yard are installed. My house is your pet’s house; I adore couch and bed hogs! Also happy to give your pet their space too. Plenty of room for them to rest at my house, and a good yard for them to play in and a deck for them to soak up the sunshine. I am happy to have your pet spend the night, what could be better than a furry roommate! Secondly, I schedule my life around my doggies and will do the same for yours. I never leave my girls for more than 6 hours consecutively/total per day. And finally, before reaching out to me please fill out the pet section here on Rover. Just as you are learning about me I would appreciate knowing more about the needs and preferences of your baby. This information is invaluable as it sets us all up for a good visit. Cheers!

Another happy stay at Catherine's! Even though it had been a while, Chubbs got excited the minute he realized we were in Catherine's neighborhood. He loves her so much, and his excitement and pure joy upon greeting her gives me great comfort knowing he's not stressed at all and is in great hands while I'm away. Thanks so much, Catherine! We'll be back soon!

I have a special needs dog. Catherine takes great care of him on their walks. She is also dependable on pick up and drop off times. Scout gives her lot of kisses when she is taking care of him. I never have to worry while I am out of town.

I am so so grateful for Catherine. She was amazing. She made me feel so comfortable and Gizmo had a great time. Looking forward to using her the next time I’m in Bloomington.

Information Catherine O. would like to know about your pet

I like to have the veterinary contact information and emergency contact information for owners and relatives at the tips of my fingers just in case. I appreciate knowing if a pet has allergies or triggers i.e. fireworks, other loud noises and other phobias i.e. afraid of men, not good with dogs, children or cats etc. I encourage meet and greets before completing services but they are not required. Meet and greets can be via phone or in person. Also, I recommend that pets come with as many of their creature comforts as possible i.e. their food and water bowls, a special blanket, a bed and any toys that they find entertaining and/or enriching. Whatever will bring your pet the most comfort during their stay is key to a positive outcome.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs to the Ferguson and/or Switchyard dog parks for fun and shenanigans! I also enjoy walking dog around my neighborhood. And, those who like to hike are in for a treat because I love the outdoors and we can hike for as long as they want to. I keep a regular inventory of different sized balls and ropes and other toys that dogs enjoy. They can play with me or cooperatively if other dogs are staying over.
