Pet care experience

small town animal lover in NYC!

All throughout college, I fostered both cats and dogs for long term care. This included walks, medical attention, and everything in between! My experience ranges from young babies to senior animals. I have fostered a deaf and blind loving dog, and have experience with special needs and ensuring attentive care. I provided insulin injections to a diabetic cat twice a day for over half a year in my care. I also have fostered dogs with behavioral issues, such as separation anxiety and territorial issues. All these experiences allowed me to grow as a pet handler and hope that it can be useful in meeting and hanging out with your furry friend!

Safety, trust & environment

I always ensure to keep a watchful eye and take note of any signs your pet may be showing, such as signs of stress of anxiety, and will be sure to act accordingly to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Additionally, I am a stickler for following directions and will be sure to take extra care of any instructions you may have or leave! I understand being wary of leaving your beloved pet with a stranger, so please do not hesitate to reach out if you would like to meet up and have a chat in advance!

Cathy was great again! She spent time with the cats and played with them in addition to taking care of the litter, food and water.

She was awesome as usual. I always appreciate how caring and communicative she is. I was worried about my cat and she offered to stop in an hour or two before the drop in just to make sure he’s ok. Lou and I are lucky to have her!

Cathy took great care of our 2 cats while we were gone. She was very flexible about both the visit timing and arranging a video visit ahead of time! When our plans changed suddenly, she quickly adjusted our dates through Rover.com. I will definitely have her provide care again!

Awesome per usual. I came home to a clean apartment and a loved cat. She is great at communicating and taking care of everything. Nothing more I can ask for.

Schedule

I work a hybrid schedule of 2-3 days in office and the rest remote, allowing me to have adequate time to meet with your pet. In addition, this feels less like a job to me and more like a fun hobby!

Please let me know any specific care instructions and if your pet has any special needs or behavioral things to watch out for. The more info you provide, the better I can ensure your fur baby doesn’t miss out on anything they need/love!
