Cathy Gaskins

69, Retired police officer

Personal: Retired police officer (AZ), single mom, grandma.Available in USA at sits allowing me to bring a dog with me. Pet experience: past pet owner (dogs, cats, rodents, snake, horse, birds, fish), past dog groomer, short stint as an overnight associate at a boarding facility, 3 time volunteer at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in UT, prior pet/house sits in AUSTRALIA (2), UK, NM, TX, FL, CA, WA, GA, MA, MN, RI, IL, AZ and nationwide pet transportation thru uShip (100% positive feedback). Pet care offered: I will provide 'the BEST pet and home care....PERIOD!' Pets will get plenty of attention and love. Great dog massages! Kitties, too. Calm manner and soft voice when dealing with animals. Can also care for sheep, chickens and most snakes as long as you tell me what to do. Medications given but you'd have to show me your method. Able to follow your directions ref schedules, feeding, walks, etc. Home care offered: mail brought in, watering plants, garden care, lawn mowing if needed, vacuuming, sweeping and just keeping your home looking occupied. I won't wear my shoes in the house if that's the rule, won't put cold glasses on furniture without a coaster and won't feed the dogs people food if you say not to. When you get home, your house will be clean and your pets will be sorry to see me go.

No rating Cathy was truly wonderful. I would love for her to come back again and again. Bonnie, Marty, and Charlee had the most attentive pet sitter possible. She sent videos of their daily activities, which I shared with my traveling friends. She gave me peace of mind about leaving my fur babies home in her care. Thanks Cathy

No rating Cathy is a really reliable, friendly and capable home and pet sitter. She has a genuine love of animals and took really great care of everything in our home. Great communication in the planning stage and also while we were away on our trip. I wouldn't hesitate to invite Cathy back to our place for another Housesit and would highly recommend her to other homeowners.

No rating Cathy arrived the night before our trip so we were able to show her around our home and introduce her to our pets which consist of a German Shepard, Chihuahua and cat. Cathy is a very nice lady who took the time to get to know our animals and make them feel comfortable. While we were away she sent us videos of our pets which was wonderful to see, clean and tidy we would highly recommend Cathy to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy house/pet sitter.

No rating Cathy is a delight to both pets and humans. She took care of our older dog for almost two weeks. During that time, not only was our dog well cared for, but she also kept us updated about any household needs that arose. The morning we left, as the taxi was waiting, we discovered that bleach had leached out of the bottle in a cabinet and she quickly took charge and cleaned it all up. She also cleaned up my "tupperware" cabinet - a job I have put off for years! While we were away, she often ... MORE
JEAN ( Illinois, Aug 2018 - 2 weeks)
No rating Cathy is an absolute rockstar. She went above and beyond in ways that I can still hardy fathom. She bathed and groomed the dogs. She washed the sheets and the comforter. My house looked better than when I left. She bought treats for the dogs and wouldn't let me pay her back. I had Airbnb guests that I couldn't cancel and she took better care of them that I probably would have. And refused to take compensation for it. She sent the most adorable photos and videos, and my critters looked ... MORE

No rating Cathy, was a great house sitter! She kept our 3 dogs routines up and followed schedules and fewding times. She also took care of our house and plants. We could not have been happier with her, she sent regular updates and we were able to relax on our vacation knowing everything was in good hands. Thank you Cathy!
