Safety, trust & environment

I focus on making your pet feel calm, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions, so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them. I take a patient, gentle approach with every pet and pay close attention to their comfort, behavior, and personality. I also keep your home clean, respect your space, and provide updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing 💕

Information Catherine P. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I take the time to understand their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any special dietary or medical needs. It’s important for me to know about any allergies, medications, or specific care instructions to provide the best possible care.

A typical day

With pets I care for, I focus on activities that match their energy and personality. For dogs, that can include walks, playtime with their favorite toys, gentle fetch, and enrichment activities that keep them mentally stimulated and happy. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with wand toys, chasing games, and giving them space for relaxing, exploring, or just getting some cozy attention if that’s what they prefer. Overall, I make sure every activity is safe, engaging, and tailored to what your pet enjoys most!

Pet care experience

I’m a veterinary medicine student working in a veterinary hospital, so caring for animals is both my daily life and my future. I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, especially dogs and cats, and making sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free, loving environment where every pet feels secure, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of different ages, temperaments, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and reserved, I always approach them calmly and patiently so they feel relaxed and secure.

Catherine was absolutely incredible with our two cats while we were away for 10 days. From the moment we met her, it was obvious how much she genuinely cares about animals and the quality of care she provides. I left a LOT of information and instructions beforehand, especially because one of our cats needs daily medication and the other had an allergy flare-up right before we left, and Catherine took everything in like a sponge. She paid attention to every detail, followed all instructions perfectly, and truly went above and beyond. She made time for our cats even while working full time, which we appreciated so much. The updates and photos she sent every day were cute and honestly made us so happy while we were away because we knew they were in loving, capable hands. She kept us informed, checked in about their health, and treated them like they were her own. My cat is truly my world, and I don’t trust her with just anyone, but Catherine was perfect. Knowing she’s in veterinary medicine school makes complete sense because her compassion, attentiveness, and knowledge already shine through so clearly. She is undoubtedly going to make an amazing veterinarian someday. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about her. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and incredibly thorough, Catherine is the person you want caring for your pets.

Catherine did a great job taking care of my boxer, Cash. Since he’s a larger dog and can be a bit anxious, I was a little worried leaving him while I was away, but she handled him very well and made the whole experience stress-free.

Catherine was genuinely the best. She did everything that was requested and was happy to do it too. Very easy to communicate with, really sweet and considerate of my cat’s needs. I could not recommend her more and will definitely reach out to her again if my pets ever need another sitter. You can’t go wrong with her!!

Catherine was absolutely amazing! For someone that travels for work being able to have someone take care of my dog while I’m is huge! But she is not only helpful, but caring, consistent, and a great communicator. She shows up on time she’s proactive and she makes sure that my dog got every minute in for his walks. Thanks again Catherine!
