I have a yard in the back where dogs can relieve themselves. I own a treadmill for hot days when the dogs need to be walked but the concrete is too hot for their paws. I have an endless amount of toys, bones, crates, mind puzzles, etc.

Information Cat G. would like to know about your pet

I would need all recent vet records, proof of vaccinations (including flea/tick/heartworm prevention), any history of allergies, history of illnesses, current vet info, any history of biting, history of reactivity, how they walk on a leash and prefer to meet the dog ahead of time.

A typical day

Right when I wake up, I let dogs out of their crates. We go on an hour-long walk and return home for some rest on their elevated beds/for water. I never bring dogs to a dog park. I love to teach tricks and provide mental stimulation for dogs. Depending on the breed, I like to fulfill them in a way that works (example: herding for shepherds, carrying items for retrievers, etc.)

Pet care experience

I never leave a pet family until both the dog and human feel like they understand everything we worked on. I provide videos and take request if there are specific things you would like me to work on with your dog(s). When I take care of pets, even just over night, I provide a balanced and healthy environment. I have mentored under numerous dog behaviorists throughout the past 10 years and can assure that your dog will always be in the most caring, loving hands. I have experience with various breeds of all sizes and age.

Extreme caution is advised in dealing with this individual, Cat G. Despite the image projected on social media and the pre-meditated sales pitch in person, this person poses a danger to your dog's health and property. After meeting with her and stating all the requirements of taking care of a service animal that has medical requirements due to epilepsy, she eagerly stated her qualifications and took the job of taking care of our dog while we were on vacation out of state for 9 days. Within days, she was sending strange messages and mentioning a "business partner" that she needed to check with. Her anonymous partner is an older woman, that claims to be a dog trainer. The initial agreement was to take care of our dog at our house, however, she requested to take him to her place, which we approved. From there on, the strange messages continued and she did not send any photos. After 5 days, she simply returned the dog to our house and locked him in our bathroom in his own feces. In a state of panic, the dog injured himself trying to get out so he could do his business outside. He also had a diarrhea which she never addressed. After I questioned her over the phone, I received a phone call from her " business partner", she called from Cat's phone number, who screamed at me non - stop shouting how dare I Questions Cat and she did not let me event talk. We had to make an emergency request to have someone take our dog to a day care center, where despite veterinary care he had a seizure due to traumatic stress. We also noticed signs of abuse on our service animal. She falsely claimed that our dog had bit her without any proof. Making a false claim against a service animal that interferes with its ability to perform its tasks and endangering it is a crime punishable under Federal law. We returned home with our two toddlers to a nightmare scenario involving a bio hazard situation with feces everywhere, damage to the bathroom, as well as a very stressful experience for the family and the dog. These people are criminals posing as "dog trainers" and are notorious gas-lighters and moral degenerates.

Cat has watched my young Shar-Pei several times now and she's our go-to choice when we travel. Huge bonus is that she's a talented trainer and so she can work with your pup while boarding - exactly what I was looking for after investing so much time, effort and money into his foundational training (different trainer). I like to think that we're not just sending him for overnight care when we need it, but also for reinforcement and little "tune-ups" for his training. Cat knew exactly where to pick up where his trainer left off, and seeing them together you would have thought she was his initial trainer! She's also really on top of health and is great at communicating with me. She sincerely cares for all the dogs under her care like they're her own. Super lucky we live close to her! Thanks, Cat!

I always thought bringing my dogs to the park every day was how to fulfill them. I have learned so many ways of mentally and physically stimulating my dogs without having to put so much extra time aside. I love that everything fit perfectly for my family’s lifestyle.

Safe socializing for my puppy, customized training plan for the future, enrichment day camp and feeling so much more confident about the future with my dogs!
