Pet care experience

My perfect day is spent with DOGS!

I have had dogs in my home since I was very little. I am extremely compassionate and loving towards all animals. I work fully remote so I’m very flexible and happy to have your pet come “work with me” at my home so they have company. If you are stuck at work or leave for the weekend I’m happy to care for your fluffs. I also have a golden retriever so if you just need a break I’m happy to bring your pup to my house to play with Penny. We also LOVE getting outside! A must every single day for at least an hour. My dog penny LOVES all animals. If asking for a house sit, she does need to come with me :). Let me know how I can help!

Catherine took great care of my two pups! She was attentive, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the stay. She kept me updated with photos, took them on walks, and left my apartment spotless. I’d definitely book with her again!

Catherine was wonderful with our young adult dog, Lily. She came first for a meet and greet, and took a lot of time letting our dog become accustomed to her prior to the actual house/dogsitting. She was very prompt and responsive. Our dog loved her, and Catherine engaged Lily in the activities she really enjoys. We highly recommend Catherine to others and will be using her again soon!

Catherine took such excellent care of Annie! She was super responsive, which we really appreciated! She also did an excellent job of making sure we were comfortable with whatever activities they did - walking on nearby trail, playing with other dogs, playing with her pup Penny! She also met us before hand to meet Annie girl and make sure the fit was okay which eased any worries we may have had!!! So glad to have found someone here in Greenville to love on and take care of any when we are away! We will definitely be using her services again if available!!!!

I have been best friends with Catherine Smith for almost 10 years now and know her in and out. She is an extremely responsible and caring human being. Besides being a middle school art teacher, she is an animal lover. She is currently the pet owner of 2 cats, Mo and Lou, and of dog, Knox. The love she has for them is immense and i would always trust her with my own pets. Catherine also rescued a little Dachshund called Chimi from a parking lot a few years ago that her parents fell in love with and kept :) She would make the best dog sitter!

Catherine is a life-long pet owner and a fur mama of 3 now. She is super responsible and loves animals. All of her pets play well with others & her house is a great setup to host any of your fur babies. I definitely recommend booking a Rover stay with Catherine. :)
