Pet care experience

I love animals

I have been pet sitting since I was in sixth grade, I am now a sophomore in college and I am looking to expand. I have had many animals my whole life, including dogs, guinea pigs, a bunny, fish and more. I have always advocated for proper care and exercise of animals and vouch to care for others animals the same way I do my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure the animals space is clean and tidy so they are not sitting in their filth while I am gone. I refill water every time I leave and check food depending on the owners schedules. I usually spend about 30 minutes per visit with the animal to ensure they get all of their energy out and are properly cared for before I head back out but of course this varies for every one. I can take dogs for walks or play with them outside in a yard. I stick to the schedule the family provides with of course a little variation due to my work schedule but this is made known before taking a job!

Cate is the absolute best! She is an animal whisperer with any pet she takes care of from bunnies, to chickens, to bearded dragons to cats and dogs. She takes time to form trusting relationships with the families and pets so that everyone feels confident leaving their pets in her care. Cate is responsible and dependable. She will love and care for your pets like her own!

Cate LOVES animals!!! She is very reliable. She is caring and patient with new animals! She hasn't met a dog that doesn't love her. You would be lucky to have her care for your animals!!

Schedule

I work a part time job at a coffee shop with shifts that usually last 4-8 hour. I have always been able to make pet care work with this schedule especially if the families live close enough. My usual routine for my current clients includes visiting once around 7:30 am, again around 11-12, coming back for dinner from 5-6 and then once more right before bedtime depending on the pet.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Catherine can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I like to know if your pet is high energy/lazy, a good walker on a leash or a puller, do they prefer someone to just hang out with them inside or do they like activities etc. Please tell me if your pet has any special care that they require and any habits that are essential for them and their routine.
