Pet care experience

Your baby with a caring family

Hi! Thanks for reading! Pets have been part of my life since I was a child, and I appreciate how precious they all are to their families. Beyond having my own pets, through the years I've hosted many, many different dogs, and cats, and have appreciated getting to know and learn how to be a good host from so many guests. I really enjoy being a sitter. Both my husband and I enjoy caring for our guests and there is usually at least one adult in the house, usually two. We give guests lots of attention and do our best to make sure they have fun during their stay. We have three daughters who add another helping of attention. Our house has plenty of space and we have a good sized yard with lots of interesting things for a pup to enjoy. We live in a quiet neighborhood with little traffic, parks, and walking trails.

We all love Cathy - her and her family are Beau's 2nd family! She is exceptional in every way, and is very accommodating. Thank you Cathy!!

Cathy was like a godsend, after my original booking, a substandard sitter, cancelled on us. Cathy constantly made us feel at ease, sent a million pictures. Our dog is a little under the weather and we were very concerned before our trip. Cathy put our minds completely at ease, and she and her husband took very good care of our dog. It is very comforting to know we have Cathy to take care of our dog when we need it. Highly recommended.

Our kitty Keebler had a marvelous time with Cathy and her family. Her photo updates showed him eating and drinking and most importantly having a frequent good ear scratch and cuddle. He had ample space to explore and many comfy spots to sleep. He adjusted quickly but I appreciated her care in making sure that he was easing into his new environment. We won’t hesitate to make this his “ vacation home” in the future.

Cathy was super sweet and accommodating to Fig. Her yard is really fun for dogs because it has a forest, lawn and bushes for dogs to explore. The house is set up to make the dogs feel welcome and cozy. I could tell that Fig got lots of attention and loved staying with Cathy.

Schedule

Each pooch or kitty is an individual with their own personality, preferences, and needs to accomodate. We can help with any age, puppies and kittens, older dogs and cats, and those with special dietary, physical or emotional needs. For both dogs and cats I am comfortable giving injections and medications, and we with feeding tubes. Some pets bring separation anxiety when away from home and I know how to accomodate so they feel comfortable, and over repeated stays that lessens or even fades away entirely. We have accepted many urgent same-day requests, and have made emergency pickups from a hospital room and a big-box kennel store.

Safety, trust & environment

During stays we’ll send you regular updates and photos. If your plans need to change I will be flexible. For regular visitors, when their owners come for the drop off their dog is often straining at the leash, eager to get inside and start their next staycation. We would appreciate the chance to take care of your loved one(s) for a while and promise to look after her or him well.

Pets

A typical day

Whether inside or outside your dog or cat will get personal care, lap time, tummy rubs and neck scratches, play time, and other heart-felt displays of affection. Out in our yard dogs find plenty to explore and do. Depending on the dog and weather, walks or other outings are part of the program.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Cathy can host up to 3 pets per night
Before sitting a pet for the first time we usually recommend a meet and greet to make sure we understand your baby’s needs and you feel comfortable with us and can ask any questions you want. We’ll talk about any particular care requirements, eating habits, sleeping preferences, any medical needs, your furbaby’s personality, and what to bring.
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.
