Caring veterinary assistant
Pet care experience
I am an experienced veterinary assistant at an emergency and specialty hospital in Boston and a loving owner of cats and dogs my whole life. Over the past four years, I’ve worked at wildlife, horse, and cat and dog hospitals, working thoughtfully with every animal I meet. I have learned animal handling and have experience monitoring animals for health concerns. I’ve bathed, walked, played with, fed, and cleaned litter for pets hundreds of times at these jobs. I’ve taken care of neighbors’ pets as well for many years, in addition to the 5 cats and 1 dog I currently have!!
Reviews
Catherine did a great job caring for our two cats. She gave us daily updates and really looked after them well.
Always so great with our dog and cat, always sends pictures, makes sure everything is as needed and so helpful!
Catherine is absolutely wonderful! She is a warm, caring, thoughtful young woman who is “ a natural “ with animals, and is a joy to work with!
Catherine is the best! She took amazing care of our 2 month old puppy. He absolutely loved her and he was so happy to have her around. Catherine was flexible with our schedule and highly responsive and responsible. Highly recommend her!
About Catherine P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am always respectful of the client’s homes, knowing cleanliness is incredibly important (coming from someone with 6 animals!). I follow all instructions carefully and promise to leave the home the same or better than I found it. With all of the animals I have, boarding at my home is not a realistic option, but I will be sure to keep your pet happy in the comfort of their own home.
Information Catherine P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or predictable behaviors, both around new people and new dogs. Also please let me know if they are fully leash-trained!
A typical day
I love playing games including fetch and tug of war, and learning new ones! I know several great parks and trails for walks in Newton, Wellesley, and Needham.

I love offering a helping hand to pet families. I work full time at an animal hospital but on my off days and evenings I would love to help care for your pet!
