Pet care experience
I’ve been walking and taking care of cats and dogs for my neighbors and friends for several years now and LOVE all kinds of pets. I also have a ton of experience with cats since I currently have my own and have lived with cats for many years.
Reviews
Catherine is my go-to sitter for my cat. She's so loving and caring with him and he actually likes having her visit him. She's super attentive about any care tips I give her, like brushing him (which he loves!) I've used her twice now and will definitely be using her again!!!
Catherine was AMAZING! She followed all of the directions, and most importantly, Gigi was absolutely in love with her! Would 100% book again.
Cathrine has helped me so much over the past few months. She is flexible and understanding when I ask for last minute check ins. As a veterinarian myself, I don’t think I could have found I better dog walker. Every visit she sends me pictures of my dogs and updates me with her arrival. If you’re lucky enough to get Cathrine as your Rover, hold onto her tight because she is a gift! She is reliable and my two dogs both love her. I wouldn’t be able to own dogs with my work schedule without Cathrine.
We hired Catherine for pet-sitting services for the first time recently, and while we appreciate her helpful care, our experience was marred by some timing issues. We were very flexible with working with Catherine on her schedule, however, she was almost an hour late to feed our cat on one of the days she was scheduled. Despite our agreement to a flexible timeframe with a window of up to two hours, we encountered a delay of almost an hour in the scheduled feeding time for our cat one morning. The job feeding time was set at 8:30 am, with a presumed understanding that the flexibility provided would fall within a reasonable range. However, on Sunday morning, our cat was not attended to until at least 11:15 am, causing concern and prompting us to seek clarification. Upon addressing the matter with Catherine, she expressed a belief that morning and evening times were essentially placeholders rather than definitive commitments. This response left us puzzled, as our expectation was based on the specified time and her request of a two hour window. While we acknowledge Catherine's potential, we suggest a cautious approach to accepting morning assignments, as our experience indicates a potential misalignment with such timeframes. We believe that timely and consistent care is crucial, particularly when it comes to feeding animals, and hope this feedback contributes to an improved service in the future.

Availability
I’m currently working remote so have plenty of time throughout the day/week to walk & take care of pets. I go on long walks for exercise frequently and having a pet to come with would make it even better! I don't mind if the request comes in last minute, as if I'm available I'm happy to do it.
