About: I not only take care of other’s animals, but also my own fur babies. I have always had a dog in the home and am very comfortable with any breed! I’m currently a part-time student and worker, so my availability is normally afternoons. And on weekends I’m rarely busy. Taking care of animals is something that would fit perfectly into my routine! I allow my wiener dog, Ollie, to sleep with me in my bed. I give him food twice a day in healthy portions. I also throw his toy at least two hours a day, and also gets let outside quite often!
“Catherine was such a blessing taking care of my baby!! Couldn’t ask for anyone any better and trustworthy!! Thanks Catherine ? I’ve had the best two sitters using the Rover App!!!!”
About: I have experience working with many different dogs through working at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I also have experience as a vet technician at a emergency pet clinic I am usually working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! My nights can sometimes get a bit busy but I am always willing to make something work. I care for pets in my client's home by adhering to the client's rules and keeping a close eye on their fur-baby. After all, I am there to give them all of my attention!
About: Ive been walking dogs at the shelter for about a year. Ive taken care of older, younger, more energetic, lazy. Trust me with your pets, and I wont disappoint.

I have a rat terrier named hola and a big playful golden doodle. The doodle is a handful sometimes.
About: Hey yall, i’m new here. please shoot me a message I would be happy to help you! My sister has a handicap dog and every time I had to watch her fur baby, I had to give her seizure medication every morning and every night & she also happened to be blind, so I had to help her up and down the stairs and in and out the house. But despise of all her imperfections, she was a happy go lucky bundle of joy 💗 I do work, but i am always available any day of the week after 6pm! You can always message me and i will get back with you asap!! Every dog that i’ve cared for in the past, i’ve taken out on a leash. To protect my house and it’s furniture, please be sure to bring a kennel for your dog in case i have to run to the grocery store, etc. Make sure to bring the appropriate amount of dog food needed.
About: I really just love being around animals, so I treat every pet like they’re my own. I want them feel comfortable and stick to their normal routine so nothing feels off while you’re gone. I’m patient, whether it’s playing with a new puppy or taking it slow with older pets. I just want them to feel safe, happy, and cared for! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I make time each day for walks, feeding, and check-ins. I’m flexible and able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs, whether that’s early morning visits, midday check ins, or evening care. I prioritize consistency so pets stay on their normal routine, which helps reduce stress and keeps them comfortable! Your pet’s safety is always my top priority! In my home I create a calm, secure environment and carefully follow any instructions you provide. In your home, I respect your space and keep things clean and organized. I pay close attention to your pup while playing with toys, chewing bones, making sure doors and gates are closed, and watching closely to prevent accidents. I also monitor your pet’s behavior and health, and I’ll communicate regularly with updates so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands.
