I am a mature student within the health field and having finished my MA last year I have enjoyed taking time to explore Canada as well as Europe. I moved from the Laurentians, north of Montreal, Quebec, where I was for a number of years, to study at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. I am originally from the UK, I also lived in the Netherlands for a few years, therefore I have a lot of experience with travel, changes of environment, adapting to new circumstances and making new friends - both human and furry!
I am responsible, reliable, practical and a non-smoker. My last move to take up my studies was the first where I did not had a pet, our family cats stayed with my children in their homes on my departure. I realize that pets are a part of who I am and that to house/pet sit means that I get to enjoy their company once again. I hope to continue my travels both near and far. I do have a car for sits within Canada and can rely on public transport for other locations.
I am passionate about the outdoors, enjoy hiking, cycling, snowshoe trails and skiing. I see the time interacting with your pets as a joy and would love to care for them, it would never be a chore. My first year with THS has been extremely rewarding, and as you can see from my reviews I have made some great pet friends along the way. I hope that you can leave your home and pet in my hands so as to enjoy your adventures with complete peace of mind.
Why I want to house sit
At this point after my hectic study routine, I have chosen to take the time to explore more of our great country/globe before I embark on the next stage in my life. I love to travel and am passionate about taking time to really explore an area, as well as being able to spend quality time with friends and family across Canada and Europe.
House/pet sitting means that I can live and experience many local environments and allows me the time to really immerse myself within a locality with the added bonus of a pet companion. This last move meant I could not have an animal companion and with continued travel, it will still be impossible. To house sit will mean that I get the best of all worlds, and will be able to care for and enjoy the company of your pet/s.
My experience
I have sat for friends when they have been away on business trips or holidays (see many of my pet companions with me in the photos). I am very adaptable and have been a homeowner within both the rural and urban settings so I have plenty of experience with running a place. I have loved owning cats and my children still have cats, and with nearly all my friends having dogs I am able to recognize when and if a pet needs attention or has a health issue. At the moment I am privileged as I have the time to devote to a pet. I am lucky that I have no health issues and my exercise of choice is to take a walk/hike/snowshoe and explore new areas. If you have one dog or more, who are able and willing, I will enjoy their company very much. I have been all over with my friends' dogs. I am affectionate and enthusiastic with all the pets I have had the chance to get to know.

Catherine came back for a second cat sit, and was even better than the last time! My cat was well loved, then house was spotless and she even left some delicious homemade food for me!
Communication is fast and easy, no probs at all. I would 100% recommend Catherine to anyone looking for a pet sit...Catherine came back for a second cat sit, and was even better than the last time! My cat was well loved, then house was spotless and she even left some delicious homemade food for me!

Response from Catherine
Thanks Jed! It is my pleasure to be in Hepper's company. She was a delight and we had some wonderful sofa time. Everything was as described and easy communication. Safe travels.

I can't say enough great things about Catherine. We hit it off right away and she made me feel very comfortable leaving Abbey in her care. She has such a kind spirit and Abbey and I wish we could adopt her into our small family !! When I arrived home, the apartment was very neat and tidy and there was some delicious homemade soup in the fridge. I would have Catherine sit for me again in a heartbeat. We miss you !!
