Pet care experience

Peace of mind - guaranteed!

I specialize in personalized in-home care for your non-human family. I will take great care of your loved ones, giving them at least the same level of care that you would. I've owned huskies, fostered dogs recovering from surgery to get them ready for adoption, worked with rescue dogs that have "unique" personalities, and cats of all varieties. I offer overnights (dinner through breakfast and post breakfast potty break). I’m a software consultant by day so I actually stay at your home the entire time you’re gone. I will work with you to customize a plan that gives your loved ones the best experience, and gives you the peace of mind that your home and pets are in the best of hands!

Cathy was wonderful! I was hesitant to leave my rescue dog with separation anxiety for a few days. Cathy did a great job sending me updates, pictures and videos which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Cathy and I certainly plan to have her watch my pup in the future.

Cathy is an amazing pet sitter and house guest. She has excellent communication skills and sent us pictures throughout her stay. I usually stress about leaving our pup but he was well taken care and I was able to enjoy our vacation stress free. Thanks Cathy!

I want to know any behavior challenges, or health challenges. Again, I will work closely with you to customize a plan that is the best fit.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
