Running, playing, and cuddles!
Pet care experience
I have spent a lifetime playing with a variety of cherished family pets. I grew up caring for ranch animals (which of course include dogs!) and currently have 2 fantastic cats at home. I'm greatly missing the energy of our family dogs and would love to give your loved ones some attention! I love staying active and can run and play extensively, on top of providing lots of general love and cuddle time. As a researcher at the university, I have some flexibility in my schedule to assist with weekday and weekend walks, potty breaks, and sitting. And, of course I love cats, too, so I can provide cat care! Or any other pets at home that need to be checked on in addition to your pup!
Reviews
Catherine was so great! My dog is slooooow to warm up to anyone and she was so patient with him. Sent me updates and pictures throughout our trip and even followed up after we got home to make sure we made it back and the pets were good! 10/10 for Catherine! Will definitely have her again!
Catherine - Thank you for taking such great care of our specials friends. They are needy but I knew we didn't have to worry about them with you. I appreciate all the photos and texts. You are wonderful.
Catherine was wonderful with our cats. She was able to give one of ours medication and followed all directions.
Catherine was great, obviously very responsible and sensitive to my senior lady's physical condition(s), responsive, kind, and friendly. She left the place spotless, to boot. I will not hesitate to call on her for more help in the future!

I care for my clients’ pets the same way I care for my own — with lots of love and care. Same goes for the house! I would never leave something anything other than cleaner than when I found it.
Information Catherine A. would like to know about your pet
I can definitely administer medication, just let me know which method works best for you and your pup. I have extensive experience administering insulin and oral medication (when it goes down easy or when there’s a trick, like just shoving it down their throats haha). Please be advised if your dog requires medication more than twice per day, there will be an extra $15 charge per visit/administration.
A typical day
We can run or walk, depending on your pup's level of activity! Toy time, snuggle time, feedings, and clean-ups, too! Just let me know your routine!

Availability
Depending on the week, my routine can revolve around pet care. Other times I keep hours for a normal working day, but can typically get away for an afternoon check!
