Very intuitive lover of animals
Pet care experience
Growing up I never had less than two rescue dogs, cats, and geckos. I've walked dogs, watched dogs and cats, and whenever someone who knows me needs help with their animal or doesn't know what to do or where to take them, they call me. I have found the best mobile vets to make it easier on pets who don't like the cars and have found the best western and eastern veterinarians who practice with medication and herbs to make sure they find whatever is going on with our animals. I am an incredibly empathetic person by nature, so I truly feel like I can understand what animals are asking for or feeling and even though that can be a lot when I'm trying to focus on other things (!) I wouldn't have it any other way because I love animals with my whole heart and the bottom line is there is nothing I wouldn't do for one. My goal in my life is to eventually be able to get a big plot of property and put the dogs and cats in shelters on it with some volunteers who just want to play with them all day so they can have a good life.
Reviews
I was very nervous leaving my dog Buster since he has pretty bad anxiety. Cathryn and Ryan were amazing and Buster immediately warmed up to them. They made him feel comfortable and took incredible care of him! I was sent pictures and videos every day and by the time I went to pick him up, he didn't want to leave. I can't think of better people to watch your dog, they are loving and understand the different needs of each dog they watch. Their love for animals shows through and they were so attentive and caring with Buster during the time I was away. I can't recommend them enough!
Cathryn was amazing with Charlie. He was instantly comfortable and she sent lots of great photos!
Highly recommend Cathryn for all your dog sitting needs!! We have a very energetic Aussie who usually takes some warming up and she absolutely loved Cathryn from the start. She was extremely communicative and sent us pictures throughout the day. She made us feel 100% comfortable. Can’t recommend enough!
Cathryn is AMAZING! This is the first time I’ve used Rover so I was a little nervous about leaving my dog with a stranger but the moment Luna met Cathryn she was happy and comfortable, so I knew it would be ok. Cathryn sent me pics and gave me updates and has such a soothing and wonderful way about her, with Luna and with me! I cannot recommend her more enthusiastically.

I live in a very spacious apartment with two incredible floofy and friendly kitties who grew up with my two dogs so they are good with other animals! My mom and my mother in law both live very close by with beautiful yards and dogs and puppies of their own. So I can take your dog on walks all the time, and I can take them over to their house to have them run around with another dog if they'd like :)

I work for myself and I work from home. So I can make my own hours and although I prefer to know as much in advance as possible, more often than not, I can come check in on a pet at a drop of a hat. :)
