Very good session. Will definitely use Cathy for the next time I need an animal communicator. She’s the real deal and so easy to talk with. Questions got answered and my animals both feel like they are more relaxed and heard.
- Ibi HPet Pro Response:
Thank you Ibi!
- Cathy HandfordEverything was great and went smoothly.
- Lori KPet Pro Response:
It has been a pleasure working with you and Zoe!
- Cathy HandfordWonderful! She took the time to listen carefully, she did energy healing on me and my pet, and although this was transactional, she did not make it seem like payment or time constraints were a priority. She really took the time to genuinely care about my pet!
- Dominique BPet Pro Response:
Thank you so much!
- Cathy HandfordShe was VERY helpful. I saw a change in my dog’s behaviour the next day, and I’m very grateful for that.
- Julie CPet Pro Response:
That is wonderful! Thank you!
- Cathy HandfordIt was an insightful experience. Thank you!
- Elizabeth CPet Pro Response:
I enjoyed meeting you and your lovely mare!
- Cathy HandfordWhat Cathy can do is truly amazing. I lost my kitty and had no idea where she was and in a 20 min session Cathy was able to find my cat who was lost in my apartment complex basement in a tiny crawl space. She was able to communicate with my kitty and she brought me to her. She was incredible. Could not recommend her enough. Thank you Cathy!!!
- Emilie KPet Pro Response:
I'm so delighted that you were reunited with Scarlet so quickly! Thank you for the review, Cathy
- Cathy HandfordThings with Cathy went amazingly well. I was getting ready to having a procedure for my cat, Zoe and something brought me to Cathy. Since having sessions with Cathy, Zoe's health has improved and she is an energetic cat. She is putting on weight and seems to feel much better. I will have additional sessions for Zoe with Cathy.
- Lori KPet Pro Response:
I am so glad Zoe is making progress!
- Cathy HandfordShe said some things that were spot on. Wish we did more to ask more details.
- Samantha DTo be honest, this was my first time having a reading with a pet medium. I was a bit skeptical but I believed and I was desperate to find my missing cat. I reached out to Cathy after my cat was missing for 5 days. She connected with my cat and was guiding me to her even after the video call was finished! That spoke volumes. I was unable to find her due to the terrain I live in. It’s miles of open field and it was nearly impossible without luck however she told me that she will guide him back to me. She planted a mental gps back to my home. I didn’t know if it would work but the next morning when I woke up she was there! After 5 days of no sight or any clue whatsoever, boom.. she comes home. Right at my back door and so happy to be home! If you are reading my review and felt like I did, wondering if it will work or is legit, it is and just give her a chance! Thank you Cathy, we are so grateful.
- Heather EPet Pro Response:
Thank you so much for your beautiful review. Lost pets are always the hardest situations, and I always feel immense relief when they safely return home. I’m deeply grateful to the angels who helped guide her back to you. ❤️
- Cathy HandfordCathy was absolutely wonderful!!! She provided us with extremely valuable insight, answered the really big questions, and even advised us on some of the more day-to-day things in our dog’s life. We decided that we want to consult with her every now and again for guidance. She definitely touched on some things that NO ONE would know about, and I truly believe in her gift. She is gracious and caring and a joy to talk to!
- Sabrina PThings with Cathy and Zoe went amazingly well!!. Zoe continues to fell better. She is an older cat and has started to get the zoomies again. So it is a wonderful thing. Thank you!
- Lori KCathy was wonderful and gave us insightful information about our recent rescue dog. She also connected with our two deceased dogs - it was very heart warming and comforting to receive their messages. We highly recommend Cathy!
- Kristan ECathy made us feel comfortable from the get go, she was very precise in her communication with us and our pets. Very sweet and kind!!

- Alysia DEverything went well. It was very useful.
- Adrienne HPet Pro Response:
Thank you!
- Cathy HandfordZoe continues to benefit from sessions with Cathy. He work is truly special and beneficial.
- Lori KI’m very hopeful after our session with Cathy. I already see improvement regarding Jazzy’s behavior while I’m on a phone call. I had 3 calls after our reading and NOT ONCE did she bother me for attention. There is also a bit of improvement when it comes to barking at passersby with dogs. Her volume seemed somewhat lower. The big test will be with me! Learning to ignore Jazzy when she whines, every 15 minutes, to go outside.
- Nina KEverything went really well, I’m excited to work with Cathy more!
- Alissa NGreat, sorry for the delay!!
- Dory HIncredibly soothing for both myself and my cat - Cathy helped explain to my cat about a breakup and why I’ve been away from here for so long / more often. It was truly a healing experience and I noticed positive changes in Yuki afterwards. Would love to work with Cathy again when my ex moves to a new location
- Rachel HThe session was great, I am going to schedule more. I noticed changes/improvement over the next few days and they are holding. So pleased!
- Nancy MCathy is a lovely soul who helped connect me to my dearly departed boy. Deeply grateful to have connected with her.
- Hayley JCathy is incredible- she is warm, authentic, and truly connects with Biscuit. I can’t recommend her enough- I’ve booked 3 times on 3 months!!
- Margaret CGreat session!
- Nancy MEverything went smoothly,Thank you !
- Janae GIt’s a little early yet to determine if Cathy’s reading on my Rottie’s injury turns out to be accurate or not. However, everything that she said made sense and rang true to me. Also, Cathy did some healing energy on our dog — and Lexi has been sleeping soundly all afternoon. Cathy also provided some advice on things we could try to alleviate some logistical problems due to Lexi’s injury. Overall, I was very pleased with my first time using an animal communicator and I wouldn’t hesitate to call on Cathy again!
- Juanita BPet Pro Response:
Thank you so much Juanita!
- Cathy HandfordWas awesome. I reached out to see if there was an unaddressed issues with one of my three cats who has been extra vocal and clingy lately. I received so much more than expected as Cathy was guided to do a clearing of my home, check in with my other two cats, and help identify residual effects on my house since a roomer moved out a few weeks ago. Grateful!
- Holly BPet Pro Response:
Thank you!
- Cathy HandfordThe session with Cathy was excellent and thorough. She is very intuitive and kind and I am grateful for her communications with my kitty and his healing. I'm going back to her for more!
- Miriam GPet Pro Response:
Thank you so much Miriam. I love all that you do for your kitties!!
- Cathy HandfordI'm very grateful to Cathy for the quality of her assistance for my cats. She gave them healing, gave me peace of mind and ideas on what to do for them and I was very impressed with how true the communications she had with them were (they told her things I'd noticed but not told her). She also is very kind and personable so it was overall very pleasant as well as helpful. She's the real deal.
- Miriam GPet Pro Response:
Thank you! I so enjoyed working with you and your cats!
- Cathy HandfordWe had a great conversation and Cathy helped me better understand my cats and their way of communicating
- Kala HPet Pro Response:
Thank you for the review and I appreciate the link to the cat toy - my cats will love it!
- Cathy HandfordAbsolutely beautifully! Cathy sent healing energy to me and my dog both! I told her he wasn't the same anymore he seems unhappy he doesn't play anymore he itches all the time and I got to tell you I just got done playing outside with my dog! We played with the ball for a good 15 minutes straight in the heat and he was all into it! Much much gratitude to you Cathy! Hardly wait to schedule my next appointment because it's so fun and exciting to get insight into your pets and absolutely most definitely 100% fun and exciting to get healing energy I mean come on now I feel so blessed and honored
- Shelli WFirst time talking with Cathy. She seemed to connect to my pet and was able to verify some things that I knew were happening. Would recommend.
- Elise SPet Pro Response:
Thank you Elise!
- Cathy HandfordCathy is truly gifted. My dog has less fear. She's more affectionate, her anxiety is better around people and dogs. I'm looking forward to more sessions. I definitely notice progress in my dog.
- Susan VPet Pro Response:
That's wonderful!
- Cathy HandfordThis was one of the best things I could’ve asked for to communicate with my pet Benji! He was so excited to speak with Cathy and she cleared a lot of his past disturbances. I’m so grateful for our session and to know my dog is happy and he is well cared for! She did a great job answered all my questions and gave me really great advice. Thank you Cathy!
- Priyanka HPet Pro Response:
Thank you!! Loved meeting you and Benji!
- Cathy HandfordJust had my session today with Cathy and WOW — it was amazing! I feel so much more connected and at peace. Such a wonderful experience. Highly recommend if you’ve ever been curious about animal communication!
- Jordan RFor my first time doing something like this it was enjoyable and interesting to hear what my dog had to say. I’ll be scheduling another session with her for one of my other dogs.
- Justin TWe really loved our experience with Cathy! We had been worried about our dogs recent behavior with the other pups, and she helped us understand his feelings on them, us, and just how he feels in general. An amazing experience that really meant a lot to us!
- Brittany BPet Pro Response:
Loved talking with you and Odin!
- Cathy HandfordOur session with Cathy was delightful. She took the time to connect with our dog moose. She did some medical healing and connected with him very well. The visit was very confirming for us and we would definitely recommend her to all of our friends. Her service was an absolute pleasure!!!
- Jessica SGreat session. She is warm, compassionate, & informative.
- Cherise SA caring, compassionate, kind, and beautiful woman that helped us find a renewed sense of hope and reminded us how important it is to reinforce the foundation before expecting any structures to stand on it.
- Nicole MPet Pro Response:
Nicole, thank you so much for your beautiful words.
It was an honor to support you. Strengthening the foundation is powerful work, and you’re doing it beautifully. ✨
Cathy has been very sweet and assuring. She even took time over the holidays to connect with my cat and send her on her way home. I am extremely lucky to have my cat back safe, and Cathy was a great help!
- Michelle DPet Pro Response:
I'm so glad Luna is home!!
- Cathy HandfordEverything went amazingly! Cathy was great with communicating, flexible, and pleasant to chat with :)
- Ellie SShe gave me great insight to Frank's general attitude towards life and me. Very happy with the session!
- Marisa BEverything was very lovely. I feel like Cathy was kind and patient. She helped me understand my dog, Rhys and why he does the things he does. I felt very connected with him that day. I feel like talking and healing with Cathy brought us closer.
- Anitra PCathy was exceptional. Highly recommend
- Brenda MGreat
- Brenda MShe's great
- Brenda MWhat can I say but just wow. I feel like meeting Cathy was divinely orchestrated. She helped us communicate with our little void kitty Saga after he transcended across the veil. What coincidence was it that she lives close to us and also is a void kitty mama? It was meant to be and she gave us peace and a closure that took the bricks off our chest. For the first time, I feel like I can take a step in the right direction to honor Saga and his wish for us to share love with the world. Thank you Cathy.
- Billy MPet Pro Response:
Billy, thank you… your words truly touch my heart.
It was an honor to connect with beautiful Saga and with you both during such a tender time. I have no doubt that love guided our meeting.
May Saga’s light continue to surround you — and may the love you share in his honor ripple out into the world exactly as he wished. ✨
It was something of a disappointment. Cathy seemed distracted by her challenges with her waiting room and tech. She spoke a great deal about her animals and other animals she has worked with, when we were expecting the focus to be on our Joey. The overall effect on Joey and his behavior has been minimal. The effect on us was unsatisfied with the service.
- Claire LPet Pro Response:
Thank you for allowing me to work with Joey. Behavioral concerns are often the most complex cases because lasting change is a process that takes time. My role is to provide communication, healing, and guidance, while long-term improvement typically depends on consistent management and follow-through at home. Every animal responds in their own way and at their own pace. I wish you and Joey all the best.
- Cathy HandfordThe session was great(positive), but my cat’s behavior didn’t change(negative).
- Ruth CPet Pro Response:
Thank you for your kind words about the session and for allowing me to work with Reis. Behavioral concerns are among the most complex issues because every animal is unique and responds differently. My goal is always to support both the animal and their family with compassion, insight, and the highest good in mind. I wish you both the very best.
- Cathy HandfordCathy was kind and compassionate during our session. At the time, I was searching for my missing pet and hoping for insight into his situation. I was told that he seemed very nervous, but later Cathy explained that she could not read his energy because she felt he was no longer in this world. This left me confused because my understanding of pet communication is that many practitioners are able to connect with pets whether they are living or have crossed over. As a result, I felt I did not receive the information or clarity I was seeking. I appreciate her kindness and honesty, but the session did not meet my expectations.
- Elena GPet Pro Response:
I am deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. During our session, I shared that I was unable to obtain location information because I felt he might no longer be in physical form. Sadly, his body was found the following day. Lost pet cases are among the most difficult, and I strive to handle these situations with compassion and honesty.
- Cathy HandfordMy dog was missing for 6 weeks. About 3 weeks in I was recommended to speak to Cathy. After a few days she told me that my dog was in really bad shape, potentially injured, and then told me that he told her he was "ready to go" (dying). As anyone can imagine this caused me a lot of trauma - this is a dog I've had for 12 years and has been with me through every phase of becoming an adult. Three weeks after dealing with this from Cathy he was finally found. He is very thin but otherwise in perfect health with no injuries, thankfully. I don't know if Cathy was channeling any animals but it was not my dog.
