Dog Boarding Catharine

“Tim and Kathy are incredible people! They took such good care of our Caesar when we went away for the night. They sent pictures and sweet notes and we knew he was in the best of hands. If I could give 10 stars I would.”

“Caterina did a great job caring for my two boys. She’s got space for walks and room inside for resting. I think the dogs enjoyed their visit.”

“Spencer was perfect! He was very attentive and caring. My dog is a 15 year old senior with medical issues and he was super open to giving pet sitting with him a try and cared for him just as well (if not better) than we would've. Couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely hope to get Spencer again next time we need a trusted sitter.”

“Amazing!! My dog usually doesn’t eat when I leave her cause she’s very shy, first time she came home with a full tummy! Always updated me, went on walks and felt at homeee!:)”

“Natalie took such exceptionally good care of Goose, and he and Leo had a great long weekend playing together and going on walks. Thank you for your care and attention to him and making him feel right at home :)”

“Alexandria was awesome. Easygoing, communicative, flexible and totally capable. We really appreciate her taking care of our sweet pup for the night! He came back happy as a clam.”

“Whether it is your first time using rover or 100th time using rover, if Bill and Emma are available look no further and book ASAP. It was our first time using Rover and we, and our 1 year old playful mutt could not have had a better experience. They were flexible, responsive and attentive. The only thing you’ll have to worry about it your pet not wanting to leave (kidding). Thank you Bill and Emma for a seamless experience, we hope our paths cross again!”

About: I have had dogs and cats since I was a kid and have always enjoyed looking after and caring for animals. My girlfriend and I don't have any pets at the moment and have been housing our friends pets when they are traveling. Hoping to offer our comfortable house to other pets while their people are traveling! I currently work from 9-5 a short bus ride from my house. I have a lot of flexibility to go home for lunch during the day and check on our house guests. On the weekends we are usually around the house and enjoy going for walks along the gorge trails. We have a three-quarters fenced in backyard for quality fetch time and a large house for the pets to roam in. We have a very open living and dining room for running around and chasing toys! When I visit houses to check on pets I like to stay and play with them for a bit. Make sure they are comfortable and getting some fun in during the day!

“Jen was fantastic for our high energy dog! She treated her like one of her own pets, sent pictures and videos regularly, and responded promptly. She will certainly be Daisy’s mommy away from mommy whenever we need ❤️”

About: I have 15 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all temperaments — from confident, easy-going pups to anxious, shy, and reactive ones. I’m trained in reading dog body language, building trust, and providing calm, structured, loving care. Whether your dog needs extra space and patience or is a social butterfly ready for adventure, I meet them where they are so they feel safe, supported, and understood. Every dog in my care gets individualized attention, enrichment, and a secure environment Pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine — it is my routine. I do this full-time, which means your pet gets my full attention, flexible scheduling, and consistent care throughout the day. Right now, I’m focusing on dog walking and giving pups a safe, engaging, and positive experience on their daily outings. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working in a shelter setting, working with all types of dogs — from social butterflies to anxious or reactive pups. Every walk is tailored to each dog’s needs, energy level, and comfort. I read body language, move at their pace, and provide structure, enrichment, and calm guidance. Your dog will get patience, safety-focused handling, and the same love and attention I’d give my own.

“Kyle was great for our young blue heeler Shadow! Our dog needs time to warm up to new people, and Kyle was very comfortable with that process. Upon first meeting, Shadow growled at him and snapped at the air a bit but Kyle was not bothered and knew to ignore Shadow at first. After some time, Shadow was asking him for belly rubs. Before leaving Shadow with Kyle we arranged two visits between him and the dog to make sure they were friends. Kyle was very accommodating and happy to take that extra time out of his day. I really appreciated his willingness to do that. During their time together, Kyle sent photos and updates every day. Right away from the photos we could see that our pup was relaxed and settling into spending time with his new human friend in the house and on walks. Shadow even got to sleep in bed and sit on couches (like he does at home...) Knowing everything was OK for both of them really helped us enjoy our trip. Big thanks to Kyle!”

“Derick was able to take my dogs within just an hour or two of me sending a request, which was needed at the last minute. He took great care of my dogs, who came home happy and energized.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but gained real hands-on experience with my current two—one training as a crisis therapy dog and the other competing in agility, both also involved in additional dog sports. This has taught me how to read behavior, build trust, and handle a wide range of needs. I’m great with puppies, high-energy dogs, and seniors (my pug lived to 18 and currently have a 13 yo husky). We also foster, so I’m used to helping dogs adjust quickly and understand the needs of dogs who have experienced more than their fair share. Some people say I’m a “dog whisperer,” but I just treat every dog like my own—paying attention to their needs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. 🐾 I work full-time but have flexibility to work remotely when needed. I prefer dogs that can comfortably spend some time alone, but I’m happy to discuss each dog’s needs to ensure they receive the best possible care. I prefer to care for dogs in their own home whenever possible, as it helps reduce stress and keeps them comfortable in a familiar environment. I stick closely to their usual routines—feeding, walks, playtime, and any training or structure they’re used to—so they feel secure while you’re away. With my experience handling everything from puppies and high-energy dogs to seniors, I adjust my care to fit each dog’s personality and needs. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to make sure they’re happy and relaxed. Whether it’s keeping an active dog engaged, supporting a senior with a gentler pace, or simply providing companionship, I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.

“Jessica and Matthew took care of our 2 year old Golden retriever as if he were there own! Definitely 5 stars! We knew from the moment we met them, that they were the exact dog sitters that we needed. They sent us regular updates, showing just how happy he was. They exercised him daily, and made him a part of their family. They will be our go to dog sitters. We highly recommend them.”

Derek M.

“Jennifer was wonderful with Joe. She pampered him during his visit with lots of snuggles, and even a park trip! Joe was very happy during his time with her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Katie W.

“Fonzi had an amazing time. Mikia and her daughter were so loving. We are so grateful for them! We recommend them with no question. We hope to do it again soon.”

Casey S.

“Karizma took care female husky, she has experience it’s huskies so when Sila seemed to be a bit anxious she communicated with me and we were able to see how Sila can be more comfortable during her stay. I appreciate the communication and care she demonstrated during sila’s stay.”

About: Hello, I am an active individual who likes being out in nature and exploring the local outdoor areas. I would enjoy the opportunity to help care for your pet and would enjoy the company as well. I am employed full time as a PhD student at Cornell and am seeking a side job that I could enjoy as much as my current job. I live by myself in a quiet, smoke-free home with no other animals or children. I am in a pedestrian-friendly area with excellent scenery for walking. Because much of my work schedule is flexible, I will have time throughout the day to take care and spend time with your pet. I also have more availability on weekends. As an animal lover, I like to interact with dogs through play (tossing a ball, playing tug-of-war with a toy, running around outside) and relaxing with them and giving them pets.
