Safety, trust & environment

Because I have my own pets, I really prefer taking care of pets in their own environment in which they are most comfortable anyway. I feel that it’s important to also make pets feel seen and appreciated during the time you’re with them.

Information Catherine R. would like to know about your pet

It’s always great to know the ages and temperament of your pets, as well as any special needs they may have. I also appreciate any extra information that you feel would be important outside of these categories.

A typical day

I really enjoy taking dogs on long walks, and giving them extra love while you’re away. I’m always happy to spend time around cats. I love finding a playful side of older cats with toys, but am also perfectly happy to keep more shy kitties company I simply being there.

Experienced pet sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for several decades, as both an owner and pet sitter. I have always been an animal lover. I also have experience in volunteering as a foster parent for the Humane Society of Southern Arizona, taking in both dogs and cats to prepare them for adoption. As a pet owner, I know how important it is to feel that your pets are loved and cared for while you’re not at home. I’m dedicated to providing reliable care so that you can relax.

Cathy has been wonderful with my dog Bagel. I have a very hard time trusting someone to take care of him because he is like son to me and as a beagle he is runner, can get into trouble when it comes to food, and he can be very stubborn. Yet, I have no problem leaving B with Cathy for days when going on vacation. She is super responsible and caring, and Bagel adores her!
