All around animal lover!!!

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and cats, and I absolutely love being around animals. I am very good with dogs and cats and have a good understanding of animal behavior. I can confidently say that I have a way with animals, and have received similar feedback from many other pet owners. I have even been called a "cat whisperer" by several people over the years! I am very well in tune with body language, mood and behavior of most animals, and people for that matter! I have had experience with pets with all sorts of temperaments and am able to adjust my behavior to make them as comfortable as possible. Taking dogs out for walks and play time is as fun for me as it is for them! I also happen to be very interested in animal anatomy and behavior, and enjoy incorporating animals into my drawings and other art forms. If I work with your animal you can probably count on receiving some cute photos of them! I am an animal lover through and through!

Catherine is exceptional. We are extremely careful with whom we hire to provide pet care for us. We have lots of animals and sometimes also need medications and special care. Catherine goes above and beyond to make sure all of our animals are loved and well-cared for. We appreciate Catherine so much and highly recommend her outstanding pet care services!

Catherine is super sweet, responsible and reliable. She was great at communicating in a timely manner and took great care of my cats while I was away!

Catherine took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. She sent really sweet pictures of the dogs everyday, which gave us reassurance that the dogs were happy and well-cared-for. We highly recommend Catherine!

Cat was great with our kitty while we were away. He's a very social cat and she made sure to spend a little extra time here when possible to give him the love he clearly needed. When he had some stomach upset and just seemed "off" she was sure to tell us right away, cleaned up the mess, and even offered to check on him a second time that day just to make sure he was alright. It's clear that she really loves animals, and I can tell from the pictures and video that she shared with us that our kitty really liked her too. Thanks Cat!

I am very in tune and attentive to every animals needs, and will do whatever I can to keep your pet safe, happy and at ease. When house sitting I usually suggest a daily check in at the end of each day.

Information Catherine S. would like to know about your pet

Aside from the basics (feelings towards other dogs/humans, behavioral issues, tendencies, likes & dislikes, specific health/dietary needs, etc.) I would love to know any specific activities your dog enjoys to help make them as happy and comfortable as possible. I love spending time with and getting to know each individual animal's quirks and favorite things.

A typical day

I would be happy to take your dogs on walks around the neighborhood, or to dog friendly parks. I love it when dogs enjoy playing fetch! I also really like to help keep dogs and cats fur clean and well groomed, so you can count on me giving them a good brushing or even a bath if needed.
