Pet care experience

No pet is too big or too small!

I have always been an animal lover ever since I was little. Started with camping trips where I would run through the forest to catch , bugs, fish or any kind of reptile, whether they walked or slithered. When I was about 10 my dad took me to the animal shelter where I was able to adopt my first ever dog and I’ve always had a pet or 2 with me ever since. Most I got as puppies or kittens and loved to run and play around with them and was able to take care of them till they turned gray and old and moved a little slower I needed to take more naps. I’ve cleaned up little puppy/kitty messes and big dog/cat messes. My love for animals wasn’t just for the four legged dogs and cats but it has been for all types of animals. I have owned hamsters, a potbelly pig, some chickens, a turtle and at one point even a snake. I have learned to give different types of medication to a wide variety of ages as well as different types of animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I have house-sat for friends during overnight or week-long trips, taking care of everything from feeding, giving medication, litter-box cleaning to playtime and plant watering. I am comfortable working with any breed - big or small, energetic or senior - and I always discuss each pet's preferences, potential triggers, and health concerns with owners before the first visit.

Catherine was super attentive, responsible, and caring for my kitty. Always communicative, timely, and you can tell she likes animals.

Catherine did everything I asked of her. I didn’t get a chance to show her how to do everything in person, but she followed my written directions correctly and took good care of my babies. I always received a summary of each visit right after. I appreciate her being available on short notice, too.

Catherine was wonderful with Boots! She warmed right up to her, which says a lot. She was extremely communicative throughout the entire time, sending plenty of updates and pictures so I never had to wonder how she was doing. You can tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!

Schedule

I do work full time Monday - Sunday but love to take care of all type of animals in my free time, if it’s from taking them for a walk down the street to just sitting and being lazy with them. It is the best way to spend any free time.

16 to 40 lbs

Catherine can host up to 6 walks per day
I would like to know if your pet has a specific routine that they like to stick to or any special needs that may need to be met such as medication needing to be given at specific times and days as well as if there is special food that needs to be given whether it be due to food, allergies or just preference. I do also like to know if there are certain things used to clean up and dispose of accidents just in case one is to happen.
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.
