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.

Catherine(cat) was an amazing sitter for our cat. She had great communication and was engaging with our cat. I felt comfortable with her care. I would definetly contact her again for cat sitting.

Cat was so great with our pups! They looked so happy in their pictures while we were out of town and we can tell they were well taken care of. We plan on booking her any time we can when we head out of town!

I loved having Catherine care for our fur babies. She sent great photos and checked in with me daily. I appreciate the love and care that she gave our boys.

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!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
