About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Highly experienced with dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors.

“Catherine took great care of our 9 year old corgi Tucker while we were gone for the weekend. He played frisbee with her and seemed to be very happy and content. Thanks for doing such a great job with our boy. She sent us pictures and kept us updated, which was very much appreciated. Will definitely use her again. Highly recommend.”


About: I've had my 2 cats and dogs for 12 years and adore them! I make new feline and canine friends easily so I'm happy to sit/walk yours as well! My work schedule is light right now so I have a lot of availability for sittings and walks and have done this a lot for friends. I am open to your specific directions for caring for your animals and am flexible. Write down any specific details and I will follow them. I am trustworthy and have house sat and dog walked for many friends and neighbors! People count on me!

About: I have taken care of animals for friends and family for years! I love taking care of dogs and cats, and giving them extra love. I’m temporarily unemployed (actively looking for a job) so I have all the availability in the world. Once I have a new position, I’ll readjust! I’m a very adaptable person who love rules and information, I’ll always work closely with you to ensure your fur babies’ have the consistency needed.

“Catherine did a great job watching our little puppy Wrangler! She was able to help us out for a few weeks very last minute after getting our new puppy! She took time to let her out during the day, play with her, and give her attention! I would recommend Catherine!”


About: I’ve taken care of animals all around the family! I have two dogs and a cat at home who have been spoiled so much. I love animals of all kinds. I have given dogs and cats medications orally. I am a college student at Ivy Tech, my schedule is a little empty this semester, and my part time job starts later in my day. I am always in town and don’t have any trips planned. I keep an open schedule! I am able to take your pets on walks! As long as it’s not raining I would love to take your little ones on walks. I keep animals close when a vehicle is near. I’ll treat them as my own!

About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!

“It was an absolute pleasure to have Katherine taking care of our cats and our house! She is very organized, prompt, proactive, thoughtful, and kind. Katherine has fantastic animal intuition and quickly figured out how to make our two cats comfortable. We could tell that she quickly won over our shy cat by the wonderful pictures and videos that she sent us throughout our vacation. Katherine communicated exceptionally well: before, during, and after her stay. And from the pictures and videos, it was pretty clear that the cats were enjoying being with her and enjoying life in general, which gave us great peace of mind. She even figured out a way to easily give one of our cats his medication – a process that I have now adopted! Katherine left the house clean and tidy. We whole-heartedly recommend Katherine!”


About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for over 25 years and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I currently have four cats, including one with chronic kidney disease and another who has idiopathic cystitis. So when it comes to special needs, medications, and keeping a close eye on health, I’ve got plenty of hands on experience. I also have a rescue dog who is reactive, which has given me firsthand experience with patience, understanding behavior, and creating a safe, calming environment. In addition to my cats and dog, I also have a crested gecko and maintain both a 10 gallon and a 40 gallon fish tank. I understand the unique needs of reptiles and aquatic life, including habitat maintenance, feeding schedules, and environmental monitoring. If needed, I am able to clean fish tanks, perform water changes, and ensure your reptiles or fish stay healthy while you’re away. Just let me know in advance if there will be any other animals that need care, so I can be fully prepared! I know firsthand how nerve wracking it can be to trust someone else with your pets. That’s why I treat every pet with the same level of love, attentiveness, and kindness as my own. Whether your pet needs a playful buddy, a calm companion, or someone to keep their routine just right, you can count on me. Your pets will be safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away! I currently work four days a week and have a flexible schedule. With a bit of notice, I can usually adjust to make most days or times work. I don’t work weekends, so I’m generally available then as well. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether they’re in my home or their own. At home, my pets thrive on a routine, so I understand how important it is to stick to the schedule they know. I will follow instructions closely and always make sure your pets get lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles!
