Active and Fun-Loving Family!
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Catharine and have two children, Amanda and Hudson, ages 12 and 10. We're a fun-loving, adventurous and outdoorsy family. We spend a lot of time enjoying the fresh air mountain biking, rock climbing and hiking. In fact, we even podcast about it on LiveWild Radio. if you want to Google it and learn more about us. Rover started as an amazing Covid hobby for us and turned into a wonderful family of dog friends. I'm a professional with the flexibility of working from home most days of the week. We love the companionship and activity dogs add to our lives. We also really enjoy learning about the dog breeds and each dog's personality. My children shower dogs with love and attention, meanwhile we're sensitive if the dog prefers their space or to just cuddle.. Our home setup is dog-friendly including an open concept home, fenced yard, play area in our home gym and access to nature trails and parks nearby. My home office also overlooks the backyard with quick access via the kitchen. We've cared for dogs for several years now and have also helped families socialize their pups and learned helpful training techniques which we are happy to share. We are also quite knowledgeable, comfortable and experienced in caring for dogs with separation anxiety. I'm big on communication and sharing photos from the day. See our reviews to hear what others have to say. We'd love to get to know you and your fur baby. Reach out and let's chat!
Reviews
Catharine, Winston, and kids were the most amazing puppy sitters for my two babies. They took care of them so wonderfully. Made sure they got exercise, cuddles, love, and lots of of attention. The kids each claimed a pup and gave them 1:1 attention and made little camping sites on the bedroom floor to cuddle and sleep on. Norm was babying his back leg, so Winston slept on the couch with him so he wouldn't have to do the stairs. I equally feel had Winston probably didn't get a good sleep, and heartwarmed that someone cared enough for my boy to do that. They shared updates and pictures everyday. I felt so relaxed on vaca knowing my pups were getting lots of love. I can't recommend them enough. Such a wonderful family who welcomes your pup into their own as their own. Looking forward to being able to go away again and hopefully having them look after my pups then.
Catherine and her family took excellent care of our pug, Henry, and we were able to go on vacation with peace of mind. She kept us updated and sent lots of pics, which was nice. Thanks again.
Riot really enjoyed spending the week with Catharine and her family. I received regular updates seeing Riot out enjoying the weather. I really liked the meet and greet prior to booking the visit to ensure that Riot was a fit for their family. I certainly would rebook with Catharine.
Catharine was great dealing with our senior dog.

My home is dog friendly in that I have an open concept home where the dog stays with me meanwhile, I have a fenced yard which my office overlooks and is immediately accessible to. We seek dogs that are well socialized with other dogs as we often have several on the weekend.
Home
Information Catharine G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what's important for your dog's stay, their personality and what they love and dislike. I'm big on consistency between our homes. A meet and greet is a must before a stay so your dog is familiar and comfortable with our home and us and vice versa.
A typical day
We love walking through the nearby parks, and forest trails and taking dogs with us to Downtown Hespeler during festivities or events. We also love playing with dog toys and throwing the ball or frisbee. Photography is a passion of mine and I do enjoy taking pictures of your pet and am happy to share those with you. :)
