Information Catherine A. would like to know about your pet

Your dog needs to be up to date on all shots and be on a heartworm and flea/tick preventative. I need to know of any behavioral issues/ triggers, if your dog is a digger or if they are an escape artist

A typical day

I have one Maltipoo, he will be 8 in June. He is full of energy & would love to have a playmate. He loves to be outside & go for walks on nice days

Pet care experience

I have had dogs my entire life. I have experience with raising and house training puppies, teaching basic commands and walking on leash without pulling. I have crate trained all of my dogs but has free range of the house. I believe in good manners with positive reinforcement training, structure and schedules. I love playing ball or with whatever the favorite toy is. I have experience in administering oral medications and working with dogs that have anxiety.

We are so happy we found Catherine! She took such good care of our dog and sent us photos and updates throughout his stay with her. I hope anytime we need her she’ll be available as I can’t think of leaving him with anyone else!

I would highly recommend Cathy to watch over my pup Lexi any time. Cathy loves animals and loves to play with them and give them lots of affection! She is very attentive to knowing what they need and treats them like her own kids.
