Information Catherine S. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

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

Safe, dependable loving care

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.

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.

Catherine was exactly what I was looking for while my family went on Vacation. She was quick to answer and very flexible when it comes to taking care of the animal and their needs. 5 stars will be using again.

This is Catherine’s third time taking care of my Dani. Catherine is the best. She gives me a tremendous amount of peace of mind while I’m away from my cat. She takes such good care of my cat. Each visit, Catherine engages Dani with treats, toys, catnip, and affection. She always leaves my apartment looking neat and orderly when I return home as well. I love the photos that she takes of Dani. I feel confident that my cat thoroughly enjoys Catherine’s company and care and looks forward to her daily drop-ins while I’m away.

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.
