Vet Tech who spoils your pup

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover pre-veterinarian student/ veterinary technician who will be the gentle leader for your fur baby! I have worked with cats and dogs from rescues and shelters since 2016. I worked as the lead technician at a veterinary clinic for 2 years, I have great knowledge for medical needs dogs and performing emergency care for dogs and cats. Leo is the first dog I’ve raised, now I have Vision the Great Pyrenees who’s a gentle giant who’s goofy and playful. He is always ready to share his toys and treats! We love going to walking parks or hiking trails on the weekends for fun long walks. I have a long backyard which allows the dogs to run back and forth and even play fetch. I have 4 very sweet kitties that get along with dogs. They like to stay in the upstairs space and have a gate to separate the dogs and cats in case the dogs overwhelm them. I am currently finishing up the last 2 courses in my pre-vet program so I’m only out of the house 4-5 hours a week. I am known to take great photos of your babies so my phone is filled with cat/dog pictures and videos. I will love and spoil your babies as my own!

Cathy is by far the best sitter I’ve ever used for my pup. The consistent and entertaining videos and pictures had my family and I laughing, but more importantly confident our pup was having a great time. If you’re looking for someone to watch your pet don’t hesitate to book Cathy! You can be confident your pet will get the love and care they deserve while you’re away.

Cathy was an absolute joy! Took great care of my pup, updated me throughout the day with pictures and video. I now have a very happy, tired dog!

Cathy is absolutely AMAZING! It’s so wonderful that we have found her! She took excellent care of our rowdy 11 month old Shiba Inu. She brushed him, walked him, and played training games with him all while sending us constant updates! I never worried about him for a moment. He didn’t even want to come home with us. Thank you so much for your excellent care of Kotaro! We will only come to Cathy from now on! 11/10 :)
