Pet care experience

Vet assistant/ barn hand/dog walker

fetchfindpro trained in small mammal care and training courses. 15yrs animal and human medical/personal care, unlicensed. 15yrs patient and animal rights advocacy. I0 yrs working directly with vets providing medical care as their caretaker on behalf of their owners. 10 yrs working at several professional and residential stables specializing in Boarding, Showing, riding lessons, horse training, and a nonprofit riding program working with at risk children. **Duties included but were not limited to; working with/caring for children, horses, dogs, cats, sheep, goats and chickens. Overseeing the Daily, weekly and monthly cleaning of the facilities, animals, and habitats. daily/long term medical and nutritional needs of the animals. Helping as a team to provide the safety of both humans and animals. Assisting vets and owners with everything from minor to life threatening medical emergencies. Wrangling children and helping keep them safe/on task in a potentially dangerous setting. Instructing/working with staff, horses, lesson children, camp groups, volunteer groups and individuals to complete daily, weekly, monthly and seasonal projects, lesson days and special events. 1 yr volunteer work at Orange Va County animal shelter. 2 yrs co-owning family LLC. 1 yr of co-operating a family commercial cleaning company. 7yrs commercial baking, producing a variety of handmade-small batch baked goods for any and everyone’s dietary, health preferences, and/or restrictions, including but not limited to; omnivorous dairy loaded products, as well as, many options for dairy free, no/low sugar, vegan, pescatarian, vegetarian, organic and healthy baked goods for horses, dogs, cats and humans. Numerous animals rescued from the streets, fostered, rehabilitated, and/or found forever homes/reunited with families. This was accomplished independently without aide of rescue groups beyond advice and contacting local rescues and shelters to report them as lost/found should their owners be looking for them. 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 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.
