Hello, I’m Cathy! My love for animals inspired me to become a pet sitter. Previously, I was a foster mom for the Arizona Humane Society. I have experience with special needs dogs. I care for blind, deaf, blind and deaf, diabetic, and epileptic pups. Since becoming a pet sitter with Rover in 2012 I have learned so much about pets and their personalities along with their traits, likes and dislikes that has helped me to become a successful pet sitter. Your pup will be solely under my care during our time together. I used to have six dogs, each a different breed and size. Currently, I have one dog, Sydney. She gets very excited when pet company comes to visit. I have a completely secure and oversized fenced-in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and investigate. I’m known to have a kind, respectful, and understanding personality that gives me compassion for people and animals. I appreciate the people and animals in my life and do everything I can to make visitors stay great! In my free time, I like to work in my vegetable garden. I love that I can go outside to get food for my meals. I play the piano, and sometimes I have dogs sing along! I also like to make candles, sew, and watch my favorite TV shows with any dog that wants to snuggle. When I have pets in my home that I care for, it is my daily ritual to make sure everyone goes outside first. Then, my chores are to make sure pets have fresh water. Then breakfast and outside again for playtime. I take my profession seriously and monitor all pets constantly. I never leave my home when pets are with me. I have a large backyard for playing with pets, quiet areas inside my home for pets, and I take photos and videos for owners. I keep them occupied, following owner instructions left with me at all times. I nap, they nap.
