Passionate and reliable pet sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Cathy! I pride myself on being dependable and passionate about animals. While taking care of your pets, I promise to treat them as my own! I have several years of experience taking care of dogs of all sizes and ages, cats, and other large or small animals. I’ve always had dogs of my own. I have experience with puppies, seniors, special needs pets, high energy, and high anxiety pets. I’m comfortable giving oral meds or injections such as insulin. I will follow your current pet schedule whether it’s walks, feeding schedule, or medications schedules. I will treat your home as I do my own. I will pickup mail, follow the trash or recycling schedules, water plants, as well as keep your home neat and tidy. I’m willing to schedule one time sittings or walks as well make long-term arrangements! I always maintain contact with my clients during visits. I love sending pictures and updates of the happy pets in my care! Please review per pet pricing, holiday, and extended stay charges.

Another wonderful trip away and our girls were well taken of by Cathy! Our oldest cat recently started an oral medication and she was glad to administer it.

Great sitter! She was caring, attentive to my cat's needs, and she kept me in the loop the whole time by text. She even cleaned up the floor after my cat left pawprints everywhere. I highly recommend Cathy!

Another great trip away and our cats were cared for wonderfully by Cathy! She's now our go to sitter when we travel and we know our girls and the house are in great hands. She's very prompt, coming at the same time every day and sending pictures and detailed updates.
