18yrs of Pet Care & Special Needs!

Pet care experience

Pretty much born and raised training with high-energy puppies, dogs, and cats through learning their personalities and our interactions. Family and neighborhood pets, getting to know several long term, as I have been in the area long term. I get along with pets through my natural love and want to connect with animals. It comes very naturally to me for adapting to body language and facial expressions of animals and their instinctual behaviors. In my personal life, I am also very outdoorsy which is another excuse to always be around our furry friends. For boarding, please plan to bring your furry friend’s crate (if they use one), bed/blanket, and food they’re used to. Please reach out to coordinate the best time for your schedules! Note: I like to really get to know your furry friends, so let’s set up a meet and greet to discuss the best comfort for you and your furry friend! I love our furry friends and families, and I have added photos of our get togethers with smiley faces over all happy faces for their privacy! When hosting, I have a fenced in yard and a cozy pet set up for your furry friend to play and lounge. Please mention how your furry friend likes to spend time in a home!

We have had Catherine stay with our dogs multiple times and each time has been great. She is very responsive to us and most importantly engaging with our dogs. We leave lots of notes and she follows them all wonderfully.

Catherine is a fantastic cat sitter! She did a great job at keeping our kitty happy while we were away.

Information Catherine R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your furry friend has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for to give them the most comfortable experience! When hosting, I also look to ensure that furry guests boarded together are well-matched in temperament and interest to support a comfortable stay not just for newcomers but also depending on repeat furry friends and their mood of the stay! For any allergies, dietary schedules, periodic health issues, medications, particular feeding schedules, or any other related information, please update Rover profile or plan for write-up/text (e.g., some prefer to eat from their own bowls) with the intent to support the most comfortable, safe, and happy stay! Please confirm up-to-date vaccinations/relevant medications (e.g., allergies) to be safely prepared and allow me to be well-equipped during your care.

A typical day

Popular activities that furry friends enjoy can include brain games, classic fetch, and treats for our potty training babies! Many love going on long walks in the neighborhood, at local parks, and doggy meet-ups (popular for those comfortable socializing or learning to socialize). For your active furry friends, we have great running and chasing games (those with higher prey drives love our chasing games). Please let me know if your furry friend would be interested in any of these or something else that they enjoy! We definitely don’t forget about our mellow friends who provide a great balance to the day and/or group!
