Pet care experience

Animal lover since I was born!

Hello! I recently moved back to Florida from California where I was working at a veterinary clinic. I love working with animals of all shapes and sizes! I am great at developing relationships depending on each animal’s personality and needs. Whether it will be to come feed/play with a cat, go on a long walk to relieve a younger dog of all their energy, or medicate an animal if needed! Can’t wait to meet you and your pet!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When I have cared for pets in the past I ask about the house rules, boundaries, medicine/allergies, and any other behaviors a cat/dog might have, for example being afraid of other dogs/cats/men or even the dark in some cases. I personally always walk a dog on a leash to have control of any unpredictable instances. I stick to the desired feeding schedule and ask about treats that may or may not be give.

First experience with Rover and Catherine made it a great one!! She was punctual and the pups loved her. She was great with the pups. We are so happy to have this and her available to us and our pups.

Cat was great, she stopped by ahead to meet us all, she kept us informed while we were away and took great care of Griffin and Cooper. She’s very comfortable with dogs and immediately made us feel like she could handle anything that came up. Would absolutely recommend to anyone.

Schedule

Currently I own a cat named Bobby. He has a sensitive GI track. When I first got him I had to figure out why he had irregular bowl movement and then find a natural food for sensitive tummy’s. He is on a strict diet that has to be kept up with. He is also a young g cat that requires mental stimulation through out the day with lasers and bird feathers (he does not enjoy the colorful toys used for self entertainment, figures)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Catherine can host up to 20 drop-ins per day
I always want owners to be honest about all behaviors. I am open to and have worked with dogs that tend to be protective, scared, or don’t get along with other dogs. I also like to know if they have and triggers, allergies, or habits. For example if a dog has a favorite spot to go potty, I like to know any details (even if they seem silly) to be able to become part of their routine and make them feel comfortable/safe!
