Pet care experience

Vet Student 🐾 Hablo Español

I’m a veterinary student working in an animal 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.

Pets

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 💕

Catherine cared for my dog, Paco, for a full week, coming every day for a half-hour walk. She kept me updated on how he was doing, including whether he took care of his business, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and genuinely helpful. I absolutely recommend Catherine and plan to keep using her services.

Catherine was absolutely AMAZING with my fur babies. She came to my home for drop-in visits to walk my three dogs, and I couldn’t have been happier with her care. She was attentive, sweet, and genuinely caring with all three of them. She communicated with me very well and kept me updated throughout the visits, which gave me such peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Catherine and will happily have her care for my dogs again!

Catherine did a wonderful job taking care of Nera and Lua while I was away this weekend. Leaving your pets in someone else’s hands is always nerve-wracking, but Catherine made the entire experience completely stress-free. She kept me updated, followed all routines attentively, and gave bots cats genuine care and affection. I returned home to two happy, relaxed, and well-loved cats. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Catherine has my highest five-star recommendation, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again! 😊

Catherine was amazing!! She was so great with my cats and left super cute recaps daily. She was on time every day, which was super important for my cat to get her meds on time. 10/10 recommend!

Schedule

I work at an animal hospital, but I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for pets and building trust with them. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medications, routines, and special instructions to help maintain a stress-free experience for both you and your pet.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Catherine can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
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.
