Pet care experience
I grew up with a Black Lab and a Dachshun and always imagined I would have a pup when I was old enough. Rental housing has limited those chances, so I turned to Rover where I can treat your dog like my own! I have experience cleaning up accidents, lifting dogs into bed, mixing pills into food, comforting lonely dogs who miss their owner, and snuggling for hours with fluffy friends. As a natural dog lover, I have no preference to large dogs, small dogs, puppies, or the elderly- I love them all! I can provide care in the mornings and evenings.
Reviews
Can I give 292 stars??!! Catherine is a great communicator and was very attentive to the needs of my dogs. One is the king of all seniors and requires a lot of patience (and possibly required the use of some paper towels to clean up his messes). She took it in stride and let me know that the dogs were adjusting well. She took my dogs on separate walks due to different activity levels and gave me a thorough report when I returned. I would highly recommend Catherine to stay with your dogs in your home!
Catherine is one of a very few number of people I leave my dog with that isn't a family member. She's kind, sweet, extremely careful, and is sure to follow all instructions to a T. She's a great person, and dogs love her energy. She takes my dog on a lot of great walks when I'm gone, and is sure to send lots of updates. Can't recommend her enough!
About Catherine S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a lot of experience caring for pets in their own home- the environment in which they feel most comfortable. I like to have a detailed conversation with the pet owner to understand where the pet has full domain (is the pet allowed on furniture, does the pet prefer to sleep in his or her crate at night, etc.)
Information Catherine S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how your dog cooperates with other dogs and humans, if there are any injuries you’re watching, how your dog does on a leash, and your house rules (allowed on furniture? Does your dog like his/her crate? Does your dog try to eat human food?).
A typical day
I love to match a dog’s energy and ability levels. If your pet loves to run, I will take him or her with me on one of my daily runs. Dog parks are also great places for pets to socialize and exercise. I also love snuggling with dogs at home if they are low energy or have an injury.

Availability
I’m currently in graduate school and my schedule has lots of open time blocks when I’m not in class. My schedule this fall affords lots of flexible time in the morning, afternoons and evenings.
