Hairy Pop-Ins Pet Sitter

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/bed hogs! Also, I am 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! 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!

You can tell Catherine really loves dogs! She took such good care of my Georgia girl. Taking her on long walkies and even wiping her down afterwards to get all the snow and dirt off. We look forward to future walkies!

Our dog was well taken care of and Catherine went the extra step to potty train Nimmi when she was there. Highly recommend.

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Catherine can host up to 4 pets per night
I like to have the veterinary contact information and emergency contact information for owners and relatives at the tips of my fingers. I appreciate knowing if a pet has allergies or triggers i.e. fireworks, other loud noises and other phobias i.e. afraid of people, 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.
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.
