Pet care experience

Passionate and reliable pet sitter

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.

Cathy did a wonderful job and bonded with the girls very quickly. My girlies can pose a bit of an issue since I have one with a slight food aggression, but she did great getting them all to eat. She posted photos every day and clued me in that I have one kitty with a potential health issue. I will definitely contact Cathy again.

Cathy has been a huge help to my family when we’ve out of town by coming by to give my senior diabetic dog insulin! She also is sweet enough to feed and let out my other dog as well and has gotten my mail in the past as well ❤️ over the years my dogs have become a bit reactive of new people after having so many surgeries and sudden vet visits but Cathy is so patient with my pups and we trust her fully with them, we’ve already recommended her to all our friends and know we’ll book her again in the future when we go out of town again.

Cathy was wonderful. Her clear and frequent communication gave us peace of mind that our fur babies were happy and taken care of.
