Pet care experience

I love animals great and small

I am a caring person that likes to see that animals are happy and well looked after. I am honest and responsible. Your pet will receive the same attention you would give it. I would like to get a list of likes and dislikes to know how you would like your pet to be treated. I have had dogs and cats all my life as well as some exotic pets as well. Now I am staying with my son helping with his BnB and I look after their cats, dog and rabbit when they are not home. I would love to look after your pets while you are on vacation and provide care and security for your home. I can assure you they will be well taken care of while you are on vacation and having fun. I am retired and have lots of time on hand to come and give your pets the loving care they need while you go and enjoy your vacation time I only petsit at client homes Our animals will not like strange dogs or cats coming for a stay I try to give your pets the same loving care they are usaully getting from you I like my client to leave me instructions and I follow it I send clients photos while I am taking care of their fur babies I think this help the clients feel more comfortable know all's well back home

Cathy took excellent care of our rescue Greyhound while we were away. Our dog requires medication, which was not an issue for Cathy. She also fed her a special diet for her GI issues. We were comfortable being away knowing our dog and our home were in good hands. I would highly recommend Cathy if you need a house sitter!

Cathy was a joy to meet and have her take care of our animals! She goes the extra mile for them and truly cares about the animals! We came back to a cleaner household then we had left it and that was appreciated too. She kept contact to a minimum but plenty enough to know that our animals were well taken care of. I would definitely recommend her wholeheartedly.

Cathy was good at sending updates and was very attentive to the dogs. she noticed one wasn't going to the bathroom and went above and beyond to get some pumpkin to feed them. she was very clean and left the house in really good shape. she also stayed an extra day for us as we were unable to make it back the day before. She is a lifesaver and we would highly recommend booking Cathy. we will definitely be using her again in the future.

We can’t say enough good things about Cathy! She recently cared for our 3 dogs and 7 cats while we were away, and she went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. She clearly has a natural connection with animals—our pets took to her instantly, even the shy ones! Throughout her stay, Cathy kept our home spotless and our pets happy, healthy, and well-loved. She sent regular updates, photos, and little notes that gave us total peace of mind. We came home to a clean house, relaxed pets, and even a few thoughtful touches like fresh flowers on the table and a stocked water bowl by the door. Cathy is responsible, caring, and genuinely passionate about what she does. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your home and your furry family members, look no further—Cathy is the best! We will absolutely be asking her back for any future trips. Thank you, Cathy!
