Professional and Loving Pet Care

I have been a pet sitter and dog walker for six years. I currently work part-time at a local flower shop that allows for flexibility when I am watching pets. They can come to work with me if they are slower paced and like people. 😊 My husband is deployed with the Army for the next year so I'm hoping to stay busy! Blossom, my 5 year old English Bulldog, loves to make new friends. I have a big fenced in front yard for them to sniff and play. I have gained an extensive pet sitting family. My standards are high and I understand the importance of having a communicative and mindful pet sitter in your home. I have cared for all kinds of animals, in all stages of life and it has been such a fulfilling experience. I love what I do. Every animal is unique and I enjoy learning how to communicate with every one that I meet. I'm a permanent resident here in Apalachicola as of March 2025 and looking to build a new pet family. In my free time, I love visiting parks and beaches if your pup would like to join me! Thank you for taking the time to read about me. Please feel free to message me. Let's set up a meet and greet. :D

Catie took great care of my pug puppy! She was so terrific to work with and sent me lots of pictures. I would definitely like to have her house and pet sit again.

Catie was amazing! She left my house spotless and even cleaned and changed the sheets. Rosie loved her and even stayed by the door looking for her to come back after she left to go to her house. I highly recommend Catie!

Lily loves Catie. Every aspect of the experience from frequent walks to playtime to just loving care could not have been better.

Cathryn bonded so deeply with Cosmo, my white German Shepherd, so deeply. This breed is a one person dog and is usually skiddish around other people... so this is a sincere testimony to the love and natural trust that Cathryn had with my beloved dog. It was like he didn't skip a beat during my absence and upon my return, he was just as high spirited and joyful as when I left! Just a perfect situation and really want to thank Cathryn too for leaving the house so clean and tidy.

Catie was so professional and really nice. She did a great job keeping our kitty company and even sent a text to let me know she was at the house on Saturday. She sent cute pics too which made me feel good that our kitty warmed up to her. Our dog met her when she came by to meet our cat and she liked her too - even though we took the dog with us, but I think it says a lot when both animals like the person right off the bat! We'll definitely use her next time we need someone.

Schedule

I work at a local flower shop part-time. Hours are 10-5p and I live 5 minutes away. Being so close allows me to let dogs out in the middle of my shift. I look forward to building a new pet family there!

I need to know how your dog behaves around other dogs, kids, or people. If there are any restrictions I'd be happy to work with your pet as much as possible to make it easy for all of us. A house sit includes a lot of social time with your pet, feeding, light cleaning, and one walk per paid day.
