About Cathy
Experience: 10 yrs
I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals and have been a distributor for holistic pet food for 15+years. I have been a dog walker off and on for the past 12+years. I have been a pet sitter for my neighbor for the last 16 years. I take care of their cats when they go on vacation every June for a week. They have at least 3 cats and once had 3 adult cats and a litter of 3-week-old kittens. They have also had a variety of other pets: hamsters, fish, birds and a turtle. I am currently a part time dog walker for a chihuahua mix that was a rescue, Mickey had been abused and has fear issues. I have been walking him since his owner adopted him in May. I also walk a pit bull/lab mix , Mia is also a rescue. I was a stay at home Mom for my 2 children who are now grown. I want to work part time and am flexible with hours and days. I want to do something I love, and I love dogs & cats. I am very dependable, trustworthy and caring. References available upon request.
Most recent review
Cathy has been responsible for my pets when I have been away on vacation for a week or just a few days for over the past 16 years. Over these years, I have owned a dog, cats (one year, one of my cats had kittens), a turtle, gerbils, finches, fish and frogs. My pets have always been healthy, happy, clean, and well fed whenever I leave Cathy to care for them when I am away. She is punctual, responsible, trustworthy and honest. I never worry about having Cathy in my home to care for my animals in my absence. There were many occasions when more than one animal at a time needed to be cared for such as the case when my cat had kittens the week before I needed to leave for my vacation.That year, Cathy cared for my cats, kittens, fish, and birds which entails a lot. Cathy's love for animals shows through her actions. I have never been disappointed. I would highly recommend her to care for your pets. Your pets will love her and so will you!
