Ready to provide excellent care!

Pet care experience

I have loved animals forever! I especially love the bonding time walking my own retired racing greyhound, Zac Attack. I believe that walking together builds trust and confidence in our dogs and would love to share this belief with you and your dog! Additionally, having worked as an educator for more than 20 years, I am confident in my ability to see strengths in all people and animals. I am available after school during the week (3-4pm) and throughout the weekend to care for your dog(s) whether at your home or mine. Additionally, if you'll be traveling on school vacations, I would be most honored to care for your dog(s) in your home or mine. I look forward to meeting you and your dog very soon!

Catherine and her husband took fantastic care of our pupper and our home while we were gone, checking in daily with photos and updates, even going as far as buying additional treats for Albus and leaving us a detailed note :) They’re great, would be happy to have them watch Albus again!

Accepted a last minute drop-in visit which was so nice of her. Stevie was so happy to have someone to feed her and play outside. So happy that I found Catherine!

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.
