Reliable, Experienced, Professional

Hi, I’m Cati! After taking some time off Rover to focus on my law studies, I’m pleased to return and offer my services to both new and returning clients. I bring extensive and diverse experience in animal care, including work in a busy grooming salon, raising show dogs, and providing pet sitting for families with pets of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. My background has given me strong skills in handling animals safely, patiently, and with genuine care. Clients can expect dependability, clear communication, and a high standard of care. Whether your pet requires regular walks, overnight sitting, or specialized attention, I strive to ensure every animal feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I look forward to providing trustworthy, convenient, and compassionate service for you and your pets.

I couldn’t have asked for anything more! She sent updates/photos throughout the day, took him on walks & loved on him like we do! We’ll definitely be calling Cathryn the next time we need a sitter!

Doggy Day Care • oct. 31, 2021

Cati and her family was absolutely awesome!! Super friendly and very easy with communication. We booked her service kind of at the “last minute,” but she was super accommodating! Anabelle played with her daughter Aspen and the two had a big time, leading Anabelle to pass out asleep before we were out of their neighborhood. I would highly recommend Cati and her family and would absolutely use her service again!

My poodle had a good day with Cathryn and her daughter, and Cathryn was available for last minute sitting and flexible in her schedule.

I am very pleased with my visit with Cathyrn V and her awesome family. I really appreciate how her entire family on short notice accepted my Emma Rose within minutes of requesting service on Sunday morning. And the icing on the cake is the rapid flow of photo updates of her care. Thank you Cathryn V See ya soon.

We were happy to find Cathryn on rover.com because her very quick and honest answers to our questions made it easier to trust her with our dog. Her communication was excellent. We especially appreciated her flexible schedule and being at home most of the time since our dog likes to be around people. He was even allowed to sleep in her bedroom!
