Pet care experience

Full-Time Animal Lover 🌱

I've started using the Rover app in 2023 while living on Vancouver Island permanently. Then, while travelling through Canada and Europe, staying in different towns for different periods of time, I enjoyed meeting new animals and people through Rover. I gained great experience, great reviews and even Star Sitter status. :-) I am fascinated by animals, each with their own character, needs, and habits. Sometimes it's time to play, sometimes to cuddle, often it's time to rest and sleep, and of course it's always a good time for treats.

Safety, trust & environment

When I'm at a client's home for either a drop-in, picking up a dog for a walk or for a sit, I respect their privacy, value and order of things. It's all about the cats and dogs and I'm only interested in what they need to have a good time. Bear in mind that "House Sitting" is not a 24/7 service. Its main purpose is that your animals are not home alone at night and are taken care of in the norning as well as evening. However, I'm often able to spend more time at your place and "move in" so to speak for a time you desire. It's also possible for me to not sleep at your place but be arounf your animals while working from your home. It all depends. Let's talk.

Luna is a nervous dog when meeting new people and Catrien was able to manage her anxiety quite well. I strongly recommend.

Catrien took excellent care of all four animals! Everyone was happy and healthy when I got home. She stayed the night at my place and I would absolutely recommend her as an exceptional and experienced pet sitter. Thanks so much for the positive experience and stress free night away.

Catrien took great care of my cat! She was really reliable, checked in often, and followed the instructions I had left to the letter. I would book her again.

Let me know if your cat or dog has any special needs or behaviours that I can account for. I am happy to help. The more and detailed info you provide about your animal/s, the better I am able to care for them.
