Dog care gives me best friend coworkers to explore trails, train and do computer work with. This flexible schedule allows plenty of companionship and care that’s tailored to their routine and personality. If your dog is boarding with me, they’ll enjoy a peaceful home environment with my three friendly dogs, plus leashed outdoor adventures. They’ll be welcomed into the pack, some even sleep in our bed! DAYCARE joins the fun of our day in Dunsmuir and I’m flexible with last minute bookings. On leashed WALKING included with bookings Your dog’s safety is always my priority. Whether we’re at home or out exploring, dogs remain on leash whenever outside - even for a 3 a.m. potty break. Those sneaky rabbits have other ideas!

Information Cat S. would like to know about your pet

👇 Prior to Drop-Off Checklist • Up-to-date on flea & tick meds • Recently bathed & well brushed • In good health • Fed & walked • Rover profile completed • Map with drive time to our home • All packing list items ready Drop-Off Screening The 15-minute drop-off allows me to ensure your dog shows no signs of kennel cough or aggression. If either is detected, the stay will be canceled. Commitment to Your Dog’s Stay Once booked, I never cancel. In the rare event of an emergency, I have backup plans so your dog’s care is uninterrupted. Your dog’s stay is always my top priority, and I take that responsibility seriously. Managing the Pack With extensive experience managing packs, I feed Rover dogs separately in a closed-door basement, giving them space to decompress if needed. My dogs are non-territorial, and I ensure your pup gets individual bonding time with me using their own toys and blankets. Bringing a shirt with your scent can also be comforting. Packing List • Bed, blanket, toys • Food bowls (water & food) • Food & scoop • Written feeding instructions • Treats • 30ft leash & harness • Brush Why a Harness & Long Leash? A harness ensures comfort and safety as your dog remains on leash at all times. The 30ft leash offers freedom for playful moments while keeping control in case of sudden prey drive. I ask owners to bring their own since dogs often relieve themselves on the leash, and it’s too much to wash between guests. Drop-Off Routine Please allow 10-15 minutes for me to check everything. Have your dog fed, walked, and pottied before arrival. If your dog shows signs of illness, please cancel the stay. I only accept fully housetrained dogs. If you expect to be more than 15 minutes late, notify me in advance as I manage Rover bookings alongside my full-time remote work. Safe & Friendly Pack Environment Your dog will join a happy, non-reactive pack, with only 2 dogs booked at a time. My dogs are friendly and welcoming, giving you peace of mind that your pup will have a fun, gentle experience with us. Hikes from Home For your peace of mind, I don’t transport Rover dogs by car. We hike daily on beautiful trails accessed directly from my house. These guidelines ensure the same professional care I’d want for my own dogs. I strive to be the dog sitter you can trust and understand the stress of leaving your pup with someone new. P.S. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your booking, or thinking about booking - I really appreciate it and welcome any questions you have! Super fast reply.

A typical day

We enjoy on-leash adventures, exciting games, outdoor exploration, playtime with toys, interactive training sessions, and plenty of cuddles. Every day is tailored to your dog’s energy level, personality, and routine, with lots of love, attention, and, of course, treats!

Cat accommodated a last minute request for a full day of daycare on a holiday weekend. My doodle had a wonderful time with her and the other pups, and I received regular updates and photos. We'll be back! ♥️

My dog loves visiting Cat and her 3 pups on the beautiful piece of land they have. She is always great with communication and sends videos, photos and updates throughout his stay. He is well exercised and loved while he’s there and I’m grateful to have such a great sitter 🤍 thank you Cat!
