About Catherine S.

Safety, trust & environment
I will visit your home and follow all your instructions for pet care. I will 100% respect your property, privacy and security. I stay in close contact with clients every visit or house-sit. I address any issues with pets or property straight away.
Information Catherine S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know everything about your pet before I work with them and with you. Their routines, personalities, behaviors, health and history are all basic and essential information. I also need to know if they have been left with sitters before and how they reacted so I can adapt my approach to every pet.
A typical day
I play with your pet according to their needs and will never force any interaction on them unless they are comfortable and happy with me. I take my cues from the pets I'm looking after. Each one has very different needs for play and companionship. I am wholly tuned to those varying needs so make sure every visit is a good one for each pet on that day. I learn what your pet loves the most and always balance the fun with their health and emotional requirements. Some need a comforting routine, others love variety, many like both!

Pet care experience
I have had many years of experience with cats, dogs and birds of all breeds and varieties! I am 100% reliable in their care, and loving and respectful of their needs and routines. I have a calming and reassuring presence. I am very observant of health patterns and animal behaviors and have much practical knowledge. I have owned, trained and cared for many dogs from working breeds to lap dogs. I have had cats in my life from childhood. I fostered many kittens for our local shelter and then adopted. I have kept pet birds for 25 years, many of them rescues. I care for all kinds of birds, small mammals and reptiles. I love to tune in to every pet and use my skills to help them have the best possible experience while their owner is away.

Reviews
Catherine is wonderful! She's been great with our pup and always sends wonderful pictures.
I cannot say enough good things about Catherine! She was so thoughtful, responsive, and deeply aware of how our kitties were doing. She made sure to spend quality time with them as they have a very hard time when we’re gone. She also gave them their medication without any issues! Best cat sitter I’ve experienced in many, many years! Thank you so much for the care and love you showed to our babies!
Catherine is simply the best. She shows so much care for our kitties. She also is respectful of our home and does everything we ask of her. Thanks Catherine.
Catherine is the best. She takes such good care of our two kitties. They love it when she comes. She gives such good reports and pictures from every visit.We would definitely recommend her.
