Experience, care & dependable

Your pet deserves the best. 🤗 Imagine while you are away your pet/s are getting first rate staycation attention! I care and look after your pet/s as close to their routine and more. We will enjoy long walks on the beach. Socializing at the dog park. Candle night dinners, without the candles. Pet portraits. Cuddling, and playing. I have had pets my whole life. I grew up on a farm. I love animals and the joy they bring. You know your baby will be in loving, experienced hands. A bonus, my sister is a Veterinarian and I have gained valuable knowledge from her. Please note: I am not the medical professional but I know how to speak the language and know the signs and symptoms to look for as well as the questions to ask. Also, I am a photographer so I provide pet portraits! And yes I can make the original files available or provide professional services to turn photos into art, posters, cards and create a photo book for you. Let me know for booking and I will focus on portraits! 10% DISCOUNT FOR LONGER SIT BOOKINGS. And ask for my coupon for first time customers.

Cate was excellent caretaker for our two English Bull terriers, one of which is a 6 month old puppy, not the easiest assignment. But she gave us regular updates, and kept the dogs on a schedule which we really appreciated. I would recommend her without question and plan to use her again in the future!

My son’s dog, Sydney, is 15 years old and needs some special attention. My son hated to leave her for the weekend. We met with Cate a few weeks before our planned trip and we felt very comfortable with her qualifications and her personality. While my son was away, Cate sent updates each day and pictures! We couldn’t have been happier with the care she gave Sydney!

Cate took excellent care of our fur babies! We are so pleased to find someone trustworthy and professional to care for our doodles at home. We were finally able to enjoy some time away without feeling guilty about boarding them. Thank you, Cate!
