Pet care experience

Ready to spoil your pet!

I have been around animals my entire life and have always had a dog. I absolutely love spending time with my own dog and seeing him happy, and I want to be able to provide a safe and happy environment for your pet when you are unable to be there! I have experience with dogs of all ages and needs. Currently, I have a ten year old lab who I take on runs/walks, on, and many other adventures! I would love to provide the same for your pet! I’d be happy to spend time caring for your pet, checking in on them when you are unable to. I am comfortable following whatever feeding instructions you might have. I’d love to meet your pet! Please note, I do offer boarding and am able to take dogs to work with me. My own dog is sensitive, so meeting in advance would be required to ensure the dogs get along.

Safety, trust & environment

While I do live in an apartment, I make a lot of effort to keep my dog and any dog who stays with me active and enriched. My apartment is dog safe and dogs are not left unattended as much as possible.

We were able to book Cate last minute and it was a lifesaver. She was pretty responsive and showed up the next day right on time. She was pretty communicative and i loved reading her daily reports.

Abby had a great time with Cate! She sent regular updates with pics, and pickup/drop off times were flexible.

Cate is one of the most caring people I have seen with dogs. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, safe and healthy. Cate owns one of my beloved labrador puppies and as I've watched him with her, I've marveled at how great she is with him. If she was closer to me I would not hesitate to hire her for a dog caregiver. Any dog would be lucky to have Cate take care of them.

That Cate grew up with dogs is obvious by her overall love of dogs! She is one of the only people I trust to care for my fur babies when I am out of town, and she has always done a great job (one of mine is a rescue with anxiety and separation issues, and she handles him with care and compassion). That she treats her own dog as a member of her family, is cognizant of his health, diet, needs, etc., and spends all of her time with him, is a great indicator of the type of dog sitter she will be in her home. Love, toys, treats, walks, dog park playtime, snuggles---her world revolves around her dog, and I'm sure it will revolve around pups she is caring for.

I work full time but in a dog friendly environment (for chill pups). I’d welcome bringing yours along with me or coming to take them on a walk mid day if it falls during the work week.

Since I do have a dog, I would just need yours to get along with other dogs! Mine is sensitive and does require meeting in advance. Any special feeding instructions, needs, etc. would be great to know!
