In short my passion is fighting for those who can’t fight for themselves and caring for as many animals and humans as Possible along my journey. Caring for both humans and animals has been a life long call to duty my entire life. It started with downed birds and stray cats and no matter what I do, I’m never far from where my heart lies, helping animals and people in someway. The bonus of working in pet care is having the privilege and pleasure of playing with and loving on as many animals as my hearts desires, while at the same time, being a responsible human and not seeking out animals to buy or own. Beyond adopting the occasional shelter animal, It isnt until one finds its lonely little way to me and my home that I take in animal companions. The good news is, they nearly always find me every year and I always do what is in their best interest, even if that means they would be better off with another family.

Was here for an overnight for a wedding and needed a sitter for my little guy…Catherine was absolutely amazing. A natural. My baby was extremely taken care of and would absolutely want to book with her again if I’m ever in town. Thank you again 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Catherine was super responsive and very knowledgeable. I felt at ease with her watching my pets and would definitely rebook.

Catherine was an excellent sitter with wonderful communication. She was able to administer oral medication successfully to my elderly cat twice per day.


Catherine was great and really cared about our pets. She gave them the attention they needed. Our more rambunctious one will miss boxing with her for sure.


Catherine was awesome stepping in for us somewhat last minute to house sit and take care of our two dogs. She's incredibly knowledgeable and was very attentive to our dogs' needs. Our Golden Retriever had injured her paw right before we left and Catherine went above and beyond to help treat it and ensure our dog didn't re-inure it or make it worse. She gave great updates and kept us posted on the injury, I always felt informed and confident both our dogs had the best care. I would definitely trust Catherine with our dogs' care in the future!
Catie took wonderful care of our pets as well as our home while we were away. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and communicated consistently with us. It gave me great peace of mind to know our pets were in her hands.
