Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, Trusted, Reliable Pet Care
I've had the privilege of caring for both cats and dogs in the past few years, providing loving and attentive care for friends, coworkers, and neighbors while they're gone anywhere from a day to three weeks at a time. My experience includes looking after small to medium sized dogs, from playful puppies to 5 year old adults, as well as kittens as young as 10 weeks old to senior cats up to 14 years old. Whether it's offering plenty of play time for energetic puppies or providing more gentle care for older pets, I am committed to creating a comfortable and safe environment. What sets me apart is my genuine love for pets and my dedication to providing individualized care for each pet. Whether it be providing extra attention for pets with anxiety or sticking to a specific feeding schedule or diet, I love taking the time to get to know each pet's unique routine, quirks, and preferences and delivering personalized care. I also value building trust with both pets and their owners by keeping owners regularly updated with photos and check-ins. I hope to create a nurturing and happy environment for every pet I have the pleasure of caring for!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Catherine has walked our pup a few times and also helped us out in a pinch VERY last minute when we needed someone to stay over. Catherine is a great communicator and was an excellent houseguest. We will continue to trust her in our home and with our pup!
Catherine is super attentive while cat-sitting. She makes sure that our cats are well-fed, entertained, and loved. Catherine is great at giving frequent updates and our cats love her! I would definitely have Catherine look after our kitties again if we are on vacation.
My dog, Sasuke, loves Catherine! She is an incredibly responsible person with a genuine love for all animals. She has a wonderful way of connecting with pets and adapting to different situations that allows your pet to always feel comfortable and safe. Her attention to detail and commitment to ensuring that my dog receives the best care is truly impressive. Sasuke loves seeing Catherine every time she comes over and I have no doubt that your furry friends will be in great hands with her!

Schedule
I currently work from home 2 days a week, so I'm happy to dog sit and walk dogs any time during the day on Tuesday's and Friday's after 1pm. My weekends are also available for all services!
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment without a yard, but the surrounding area is very walkable and safe. I prioritize maintaining an stress-free environment for pets, whether that be in my home or their own; creating a space where pets feel safe and cared for is important to me. I also prioritize trust and safety by closely following owners' instructions and making sure that food, water, and bathroom needs are met consistently. I value meeting each pet where they're at and giving them attention and affection based on their own comfort level.
