Experienced, caring, animal lover!
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Catie, and I am a big-hearted animal lover with a passion for animal welfare and veterinary medicine. I am currently studying Biology at Wayne State in hopes of pursuing veterinary school! I have two dogs of my own, Toby (1 year old toy-poodle mix) and Bernard (~6 year old pit-mix). However in the past I have also owned cats, guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, and fish. I don't know what I would do without a furry friend by my side! I have been pet sitting for the last 10 years throughout high school and college, and have loved every moment of it. I am patient, hard-working, compassionate, and most of all I want to make sure your pet is safe and happy throughout our time together! I am comfortable with all duties that come with taking care of animals; poo duty, litter scooping, going on walks, giving medication, etc. Additionally, I have 2+ year of professional animal care experience working as an animal caretaker and a veterinary assistant. Please reach out with any questions, no concern is too big or too small! I hope to hear from you soon!
Reviews
I've known Catie for many years and have seen up close and personal her ability to care for all sorts of dogs! She's cared for my elderly shih tzu mix with Cushing's disease, including grooming, administering medications and helping her out with her special needs (toileting, ambulating -- my furry girl has a weak bladder and weak hind legs). Catie is kind and patient. She is reliable. I recommend her highly and will continue to call on her...Thank you, Catie!
Reliable, responsible, trustworthy, kind, compassionate and basically the BEST dog sitter ever! My dog ,Emma, loves Catie! Catie's care and love for Emma gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Catie, you will love her and so will your dog!

I want to make you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible while I care for them in your home! I completely understand that having a new person in the home can feel weird, especially for your pet. I am very conscious of you and your pets needs and am willing to do everything I can to put your mind at ease while I care for your furry friend. Additionally, I am always happy to complete basic households tasks/housekeeping while I am watching your pet. Laundry, dishes, dusting, vacuuming -- please do not hesitate to ask!
Information Catie S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or medication I can administer. I am experienced in giving medication to both dogs and cats.
A typical day
I would love to go on walks in the park, toss the ball and play tug of war with your dog, and entertain you cat with their favorite toy of choice. I am flexible and willing to acclimate to your pet's energy level and daily routines. Belly rubs and head scratches are a must for any furry friend!

Availability
I'm currently a full time student at Wayne State, but my schedule is wide open almost every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I am available for in-house pet setting and dog walking on those days. I am also available most every Saturday for in-house pet sitting and dog walking. Unfortunately due to my own furry friends, I am unable to commit to overnight stays at your home. However, I am very flexible with timing and can show up as early or stay as late as needed!
