Golden mom and dog lover

Hello! My name is Cat. I grew up in Texas with rescue dogs and cats and have been always been an animal lover. I am also a dog mom to a golden retriever named Penny and an Australian Shepard named Poppy. We recently moved to Topsham from Brooklyn and love it here! I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities and would be very happy to keep yours company while you are away or need a quick break/additional help to take care of your furry family member. I have experience with dogs of all ages and would be happy to help with training if that is something you need. I can't wait to meet your pup!!

We could not be happier with the care Cat provided Lolly. From the Meet and Greet all the way through picking Lolly up when we returned, Cat was the perfect choice. We received photos, videos, and updates on how Lolly was doing (first timers here). We were completely at ease and Lolly was having the time of her life. Cat will always be our first choice when we need to board Lolly again.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 12, 2026

Cat takes such great care of our sweet puppy, Murphy. He is so excited to see her when it’s time for drop-off. She is so great at sending picture updates throughout the day and to top it off she has taught him new tricks. Definitely recommend and can tell Murphy is very well cared-for!

Cat was an incredible sitter and it was such a comfort to have our aging Newfoundland in caring hands. Cat clearly knows and loves dogs! She was very responsive and sent great pictures to show what a great time our pup was having. Would recommend without reservation.

Our dog Clover had such a an amazing stay with Cat that instead of running to me when I arrived for pick up, she snuggled into one of Cat’s other dogs’ beds acting as though she was moving in! What a treat for her to have such a welcoming home away from home with two new dog friends and the VIP treatment. Cat was super communicative with messages and photos both before Clovers stay and during. I am so greatefuo to have found you, Cat!
