Taking care of animals is my job!

Pet care experience

I am currently a Petco employee of over two years, and was a Dog Bather/Grooming Apprentice! With that job, I had to work with a plethora of dog breeds ranging from toy to giant size, from giving them a bath to clipping their nails or giving them spa treatments. I work around 30 hours a week at Petco, but I only live a small distance from the store, so I have the flexibility to drop in and check on your dogs and give them potty breaks around every 2 hours! I have had over 12 different species of animals in my lifetime, and so my pet-care routine has become accustomed to each individual type of animal. When I had my dog, Jack, he would get a morning walk, and then he would get his breakfast. Then I would come home every two hours to give him a potty break (alongside continuous behavior/obedience training). After work, we would go on a nice long walk around my neighborhood, and sometimes we would walk to Petco to get him some extra treats. After his big walk, it would be time for dinner and some Rest and Relaxation, following two more potty breaks and lots of love! At my home, I have two cats, one Domestic Shorthair Tabby who is 6 years old, and a 1 year old Maine Coon cat, who are the friendliest cats in the world that love canine companions! I have a passion for animals and animal care, and I would love to transcend that into taking care of not only my animals, but other people's animals as well.

Catherine clearly loves all animals and took excellent care of my 12 year old Maltese. She was so good about sending me updates with pictures of how happy my little boy was. I feel so good knowing that she is taking care of my dog as if he were her own, and recommend her to anyone.

She was great with my 12 yo Chihuahua! It was my first time leaving him with someone that wasn't a family member so I was really worried on how he would do. Catherine has a lot of experience with animals and that really helped me feel more at ease when leaving him with her. I am already making plans on getting Catherine to sit for Bada again! :)

Catherine is great with our two dogs. She has been kind to them and it really is a great weight off my shoulders knowing that the pups are being taken care of when we out not around!

Information Catherine O. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog is altered or not, or if the dog has any aggression towards other dogs/animals (specifically cats). I do not have breed preferences, but I would prefer to have small to medium size dogs stay in my apartment (exceptions can be made for large/giant size breed).

A typical day

We would go on walks around my neighborhood, or go on hikes on the trails off of Old State Road 37. We would also go to the dog park, or go to Bryan Park to have some extra fun!
