About Cathy
I am an active women who loves to travel, mainly with my daughter, who is now 20 and lives on the other side of our vast country (Victoria, BC). Together we have visited over 18 countries in Africa, SE Asia, Central America, North America and Europe.

I am an active women who loves to travel, mainly with my daughter, who is now 20 and lives on the other side of our vast country (Victoria, BC). Together we have visited over 18 countries in Africa, SE Asia, Central America, North America and Europe. I work as a director at a charity and in my spare time I hike, bike, swim, and sail ...the winter its snow shoe and cross country skiing -- I love being outdoors!
Why I want to house sit
My daughter is now off to university and although I still have Hailey (my 10 year old Golden Retriever) at home, I have the itch to go an experience other cultures as a local. I love pets and I regularly allow dogs into my Airbnb (https://www.airbnb.ca/rooms/7630561) - a perfect cocktail of pets, people and new cultures. I am fortunate to have friends and family that will look after Hailey in my home, at no cost, when I travel and I would love to be able to extend the same opportunity to others.
My experience
I have traveled a lot and as such have had to be away from Hailey for extended periods of time. I have always left my dog with friends or family so I could call/ text to check in on her and get regular updates. I would be happy to make sure you get updates on your pet while in my care. I have also looked after friends pets and homes while they have traveled -- mainly dogs and a large salt water aquarium in a beautiful home.

Cathy was an amazing house sitter. She cared for my two big energy dogs and my daughters rest very well and actually my house was in better shape than when I left it. She actually cleaned my car that I left behind for her as well! She's a very smart lady and amazingly well travelled so I know she understands the peace of mind created when you know your stuff is being looked after well. I can't give her any higher ratings but I would if I could. She's the salt of the earth!!!!

Cathy is our daughter and grew up having pets around, as well as having her own horse to look after. She is now an adult with her own daughter and dog to care for and love. When a teenager she also spent time at camp and looked after the horses there. Although we don't have any pets at present, Cathy has checked on our house and taken care of our plants and mail when we have been away.

Cathy has looked after our house and large salt water aquarium several times. She is reliable, conscientious and kind. Knowing Cathy is looking after our home and pets allows us to have stress-free vacations and business trips. We couldn't ask for a better house-sitter!
