Pet care you can count on 🐾

My name is Catherine, and I’ve always loved animals — especially dogs and cats! I’ve been caring for pets since I was a kid, watching dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and family over the past 20 years. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your pets and your space with the same respect and attention I would my own. I make it a priority to stick to your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress free while you’re away. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to send regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind. I keep homes clean, secure, and organized, and I’m respectful of your space at all times. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while making the experience easy and worry free for all.

Catherine was truly an angel, and I honestly don’t think we could have asked for a better sitter! She stayed with our two dogs for about a week while we were out of town, and during that time our air conditioning unexpectedly went out for two days. Instead of leaving or making it our problem, she handled everything with so much patience and grace, communicated with us throughout, and stayed with the dogs the entire time to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. She even coordinated with our landlord, who later told us she was the best house sitter/Rover he’d ever met - which says a lot! When we got home, our dogs were so happy, relaxed, and completely themselves. There was zero stress or adjustment period, and honestly, I don’t even think they missed us with Catherine around! 😂 She went so far above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves the animals she cares for. We would trust her with our home and our pups again in a heartbeat. If you’re considering booking Catherine, do it - you (and your pets) will be incredibly lucky to have her! 🙏🏼

Catherine was amazing with my dog. He’s a little older and requires some patience but he had a blast with Catherine. We will be rebooking for sure.

Catherine is an excellent pet sitter. She took wonderful care of our dogs and cats. She is communicative and responsive. I felt confident that our furry family members were well taken care of!

Catherine S. has been a real pleasure to be associated with. She has taken excellent care of our Berner, who does require lots of love and attention. Catherine is very responsible and you can tell she is a dog-lover at heart! I would recommend Catherine to everyone who wants exceptional care of their furry friend!

Catherine is the best with my cat Fisher (who adores her)! She is attentive and caring, and she kept him company while I was out of town. Catherine also looks after my parent's animals (two dogs, and one cat) when they are out of town, and provides exceptional care to both dogs and cats. She's diligent with important care tasks, and she always takes the dogs on nice walks to make sure their needs are met. She treats our pets as if they were her own, and she always remembers to send picture updates!

Schedule

I work 100% remotely, so as long as you have reliable Wi-Fi, I can easily work from your home while caring for your pets! My flexible schedule allows me to stop by throughout the day for potty breaks, walks, feedings, and check-ins, or stay overnight and provide full-time companionship if needed. Whether it’s a planned trip or a last-minute need, I’m happy to help!

Before watching your pet, I like to know their routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any special needs or medications. It’s also helpful to know their personality, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel safe and comfortable!
