Pet care experience

Dependable and Caring Pet Sitter

Aside from being a lifelong pet owner, I was a manager at a boarding and doggie day play facility in New Jersey for 5 years before moving to MD. I cared for all different breeds of dogs aging from puppy to senior dog. I have a soft spot for senior dogs, as they have the sweetest souls. I have administered various medications and am knowledgeable about signs of distress and what to do in emergency situations.

Katie is an EXCELLENT dog-sitter. She came for a meet and greet, then on the day of service, she arrived on time. She sent pictures and kept in contact throughout the time we were away. We'll DEFINITELY request her services again. Our pups loved her.

Catie was amazing with our two dogs! Both our dogs are big, a Rottweiler who weighs 115 lbs. and an English Mastiff who weighs 170 lbs. They have very different personalities with the Rottweiler being a dominant pup who needs a firmer handler and our Mastiff who is painfully shy needing a gentle calm handler. Catie handled both of them extremely well with both dogs adjusting very quickly to her first time sitting with us. She gave us daily updates and then additional updates whenever I asked about how they were doing. Both dogs really loved Catie and we won't hesitate to have her watch them again. The bonus was coming home after a long 9 hour drive to an immaculate house, just the way we left it!

Catie is awesome! She asked great questions at our meet and greet and was very able to deal with my very big dogs. Catie asked us in advance how often we wanted to hear from her and then sent us daily photos. She is very responsible and took good care of our house and pets. I’d highly recommend her.

Catie has been our dog sitter for the past 7 years and I cannot recommend her enough!! She is trustworthy, reliable and our 2 Chesapeake Bay retrievers love her. She always sends picture updates and keeps us informed. We have done many overnight visits as well. Catie gives us peace of mind knowing that our pups are being taken care of as if they were her own. Do not hesitate to book with Catie!

I have a full time job, which is fully remote (with wi-fi), so I am able to keep your pets company all day. I can do potty breaks thoughout the day, and longer walks before and after my work hours (7:30-4:00). I can cater to whatever your pets need, whether it’s walks, play time or extra quality time on the couch. Weekends are generally wide open.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Catherine can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pet has any medical needs or behavioral issues I should be aware of. I’m happy to cater to their schedule so they can stay in their normal routine while you’re away.
