Cathleen can care for
Availability
After many years as a healthcare worker, I’m working part-time, remote. I make daily walks a priority and would love to have your dog join me. Sharing my life with cats, I know how stressful it is to leave them and would love to give you comfort in knowing a responsible cat lover is checking in with your kitty.

About Cathleen J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’ve made my own pet food for decades and give my pets the highest level of care. No special request will seem too “high maintenance” for me if it gives you peace of mind that your pet is well cared for.
Information Cathleen J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your pet has special needs. I prefer 3 days notice for new pets so we can meet and get acquainted before the actual date.
A typical day
I love to take brisk walks as long as any dog needs. I love interacting and playing with dogs. I am experienced with manual therapy and massage and am able to apply these skills to dogs and cats.

Pet care experience
Superior intuition comes from a life shared with temperamental terriers and persnickety Siamese cats. I instinctively know how to patiently earn a pet’s trust & respect.

Reviews

Cathleen is an incredible sitter for anyone’s pet. She takes time to ask questions and get to know you and your pet so you know they will be in great hands while you’re away. I would recommend Cathleen for anyone looking for a reliable sitter for their next trip/time away. Thanks so much Cathleen!!


Cathleen is so attentive and great with my cats!

I cant recommend Cathleen enough for your pet sitting needs. She treats our cat, Orson, as if he were her own. She sends detailed updates and wonderful photos! I always feel confident he is in good hands when we ask her to drop-in while we are out of town. Thank you, Cathleen!

Cathleen is great.. super reliable… and great with my little cat Jolene … I feel better leaving home knowing my pet is in such great hands
