Pet care experience

Compassionate dog (and cat!) lover

I've grown up caring for animals my entire life. My household has always been filled with dogs and cats, many of which I've helped raise as puppies/kittens. Because of this, I've had the experience of going to and learning from many puppy/dog training classes. I've also been a reliable pet sitter for neighbors and family friends. From caring for a household with a small geriatric dog to ensuring the well-being of many creatures on a small family farm, I've been entrusted to care for a multitude of pets.

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on your own routine and safety measures that you take with your pet, I am happy to implement those practices when caring for them. If you like to work on obedience during walks, I will make sure to incorporate that routine into my time with your pets. If you like to keep your dog crated when you're not home, I can easily crate them after walks or when I'm not at the house while dog-sitting. If your dog is unsure about other dogs or people, I will make sure to walk them accordingly. My goal is to ensure that both you and your pet's needs are met so that pet care is stress free and easy.

Catherine followed all care instructions and kept me updated with pictures while I was away on vacation. She was great with my dog who is sometimes nervous with new people. Would absolutely book with her again!

Let me know whether your dog has any physical or behavioral modifications that I should plan for ahead of time. While I have some experience working with dogs who can sometimes be food or dog aggressive, I do not always prefer to work with them.
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.
