65, Retired

I'm newly retired and I enjoy traveling. I owned my own home in Seattle, Washington before I sold it to move to North Carolina. I wanted a quieter life but I still want to travel.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I will take good care of your home. A homeowner wants to know that their home is going to be in safe hands and if anything needs attention I will make sure the home is well guarded. I send regular updates via text to make your vacation or business trip more relaxing.

I am currently renting a room from a very nice Christian lady North Carolina. I am a Christian as well. I am very conscientious as a former homeowner, and I will take care of your home and pets if you have them. I was raised with cats and dogs and I love animals. I love to mow lawns so I can mow yours if you need. I was a cat sitter for two elderly cats. One cat, Figaro, survived two strokes, cancer and was blind and deaf. I gave them their medication and made sure they had fresh food and water ... Read moreI am currently renting a room from a very nice Christian lady North Carolina. I am a Christian as well.

Pet care

I had the pleasure of taking care of two elderly cats that needed daily medicine. Figaro survived cancer, two strokes and was blind and deaf. She was precious.

Thanks to Cathy for the excellent care she provided to our Sophie. From the minute she walked in the door, she was an enthusiastic friend, giving lots of pets and love. She provided regular updates and kept Sophie active and entertained. The house was as clean as we left it (or cleaner) upon our return. We're grateful to Cathy and we'd highly recommend her.
Thanks for the review. You guys are so easy to sit for. The house is beautiful. I didn't add you into my review I was so excited about Sophie. I would sit for you again any time. I'm glad you were pleased with my house cleaning. I like to come home to a clean house. Best, Cathy
Cathy watched our little Maltese puppy dog, Sailor for 2 weeks. She stopped by the week prior to our "sit" for a meet and greet with our family. It was instant karma! Sailor greeted her at the front door and went to her immediately for petting and hugs. We were relieved that he felt comfortable with her so quickly! She said she would send us lots of texts and pictures of Sailor during the time we would be gone. And she didn't disappoint ! She even took him to the Dog Park and sent videos ...

She said she would send us lots of texts and pictures of Sailor during the time we would be gone. And she didn't disappoint ! She even took him to the Dog Park and sent videos of him frolicking in the stream. Cathy is clearly an animal lover, and she was so excited to house/pet sit for us. It made our trip more enjoyable to know that Sailor was happy. We came home to a very neat and clean place, which was appreciated. We all love Cathy and highly recommend her,

I consider Robert and Marilyn friends and it was a blessing from God to take care of Sailor and help Robert and Marilyn get to the airport. I hope to have many more visits to take care of Sailor and spend time with them. I love animals. Sailor is the best!

Kathy sat for our Bernese Sophie for the 2nd time over the 4th of July weekend. Once again, Sophie was thrilled to see her, and Cathy did a wonderful job caring for our pup. Cathy checked in frequently and obviously took great care of our girl. We highly recommend Cathy and would absolutely use her again.
