Pet care experience

Experienced, practical, calm

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.

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 did me a huge favor accepting a last minute booking to check in on my Jazzy! Jazzy had a lot of fun and was in great care, like always! I 100% trust Catherine with Jazzy every time I book her.

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.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
