Lifetime Dog Lover & Trainer!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Catherine and I'm here for all your pet needs! I'm a lifelong animal lover with 20+ years experience caring for and owning pets of all kinds - furry, feathery, scaley, terrestrial, amphibian or strictly aquatic. I'm at my happiest when I'm with a fur buddy and am happy to share that love with your furry family member. I've trained dogs in basic manners and potty training as well as socialization/behavior modification, all with great results! Rest assured, your pup is in sure hands with me :). I currently live in a "small pet-friendly" building with my own sweet pooches. Our apartment is a 2bd/1ba with a small gated back courtyard for dogs to enjoy a bit of sun bathing in peace and quiet. We are on the 1st floor and our door leads right out onto the sidewalk. Our location is on a quiet serene tree-lined street. Perfect for daily walks! There are several parks nearby for walks and training sessions. With a life lived around animals (caring for and training them), I'm positive I can give your furry loved one a comfortable and fun environment to grow and enjoy on their stay/visit. I offer daycare in my home (pooch should be social with other dogs) or daycare at yours, 30 & 60 minute walks or visits, pet taxi (if your pooch needs transport to vet appointments, play dates or to the airport!), pet supply/medication pick-up & drop-off, and 1-3 hour basic training sessions. For any services not listed in the services link, feel free to inquire for a custom quote any time (this includes weekly rates for extended travel house sitting arrangements)! Thanks for reading. I can't wait to hear from ya! I'm passionate about animals & enjoy giving the best care and experience possible whenever I'm with a furry friend. A dog owner and lover since the age of 4 - I am highly knowledgable when it comes to dog behavior and basic training. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own.

We happened to have a lot of unplanned activity at the house...deliveries, pickups, people coming in to work, etc. She took it in stride and cared for our babies. Highly recommend!

Catherine is a very caring,kind hearted animal lover. She is a very dependable person when it comes to taking care of her furry friends. She considers our furry friends one of her family members, that's why if she could afford it she would adopt all of those pets that needed shelter and care. For now, she volunteers her time whenever she can. She is a very responsible caregiver to pets (dogs). You won't go wrong when you decide to hire her to care for your love pets.

Information Catherine A. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences here. I would love to know your dog's level of socialization and training & if there are any issues with unexpected aggression or issues with hiding or escaping. Is he/she dog reactive? Leash reactive? Is he/she crate trained or potty trained? And of course, are there any health concerns or issues that I should be aware of? I want to be able to give your dog the best care possible when he or she is with me.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog I can provide 30 or 60 minute visits or walks. And if booked for overnights will never leave your pup alone for more than 4-5 hours max during the day and will be in for the entirety of the evening. Extra house-sitting services Absolutely! I'm an excellent house sitter & will make sure you come home to everything just as you left it...without the overflowing mailbox or wilted plants of course :).
