All dogs are amazing and I love all breeds. I have lots of experience with senior dogs. I will follow your instructions for care and give updates as often as you want. I need to know friendliness, energy level, feeding schedule, walking schedule.

I can watch cats and small animals any day - dogs only on weekends and evenings as I have a full time job. Your pet will get all the cuddles, treats and attention they need.

Pet care experience

I love all animals, even reptiles! When I was a teenager I worked at a kennel for a summer job and fell in love with every breed of dog. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits and small critters my entire life and even backyard chickens! My current pup is a senior boxer/Shepard mix. I am comfortable giving medication and caring for senior and special needs pets.

I completely trust Catherine to take the best care of Luna. Catherine spends time with her, brushes her, and tries to get her to play. (But Luna's a lump and is too lazy to play. 😁) I'll be hiring Catherine again when I go away. She's the best!

Catherine was absolutely amazing! Our dog is shy and sometime anxious around strangers but she ran to Catherine during the initial visit. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and updates every time she dropped in for a visit. She even offered to bring in the mail and kept some of our plants alive. I would definitely recommend her! This was the best experience and I felt completely at ease.

Catherine S. was great! My usually shy cats came out to greet her. She was kind and attentive and fulfilled my needs. I highly recommend her.

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.
