A Loving Home Away From Home
Pet care experience
The unconditional love I've shared with animals has brought me so much joy throughout my life. From a childhood filled with feisty felines and cuddly canines to an adult life spent with a trio of rowdy rescue pups, I have always felt so blessed to have them by my side. There will come a day when another beautiful soul enters my life, but for now I would be honored to care for your precious babies in a safe and warm environment. Their needs will be my top priority. My rescue dogs all had various behavioral and medical issues during the 20 years they were with me, so I’ve dealt with many challenging situations. I’ve also looked after dogs and cats for my friends and neighbors, including house sits with a lovable boxer mix. She was a total bed hog! My passion has always been for animals, and I have spent my life fighting for their rights. **I am currently limiting care to smaller dogs, or medium-sized dogs who do not pull hard on their leash, due to a shoulder injury. **I am diligently practicing social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. **I only care for one dog at a time, or possibly two from the same family. **I am super vigilant on walks and never talk on the phone while walking dogs. **Boarding rate is for a 24-hour period, with a 2-hour grace period, after which either the extended care or day care rate will apply. **Day care rate is for up to 10 hours, after which $5 per additional hour will apply. **Early drop off before 8 am may incur an additional fee.
Reviews
Miso always has a wonderful time staying at Catherine’s. We love getting all the photos from walks around the lovely neighborhood!
Catherine is such a sweet, caring person and did a fantastic job sitting for Rio while I was away for 3 days. She sent lots of photos and did a great job communicating with me for the duration of his stay. I was a bit nervous leaving him because I had never left him with a sitter for this long but she made me feel comforted he was in good hands. Highly recommend Catherine, and we’ll be seeing her again during a future stay.
Catherine took amazing care of our dog Miso while we were out of town. She also sent super-cute pics and updates every day so we felt good knowing Miso was having fun and in good hands. The neighborhood is really nice and great for walks. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again :)
Catherine was amazing!! She took such great and loving care of my senior beagle. I am always anxious to leave my dog and Catherine made me feel so much better with her photo updates. She takes the best photos! She also paid so much attention to detail in dealing with his food and medication. Herbie had a great time and was in such good hands with Catherine.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a spacious condo with an enclosed balcony and live in a safe and wonderful dog-friendly neighborhood. They will have lots of space to roam inside, or curl up on the bed or couch, and lots of fun seeing squirrels and cats and dogs while out on walks. Not to mention plenty of time to stop and smell the lovely roses!
Home
Information Catherine B. would like to know about your pet
Please inform me of any aggression or anxiety issues, medical conditions, and food sensitivities. Must be on flea medication and must be house trained. Please inspect your dog carefully for fleas before dropping off. Beds or blankets are not necessary, but if you'd like to bring one, please make sure it is freshly laundered to prevent the spread of fleas. I cannot provide care for aggressive dogs or dogs with indoor marking issues.
A typical day
Exercise will be long or short walks (depending on your dog's energy level) through my lovely neighborhood to enjoy fresh air and sunshine. If your dog gets along well with other dogs, we'll sometimes stop to play if I know the other dog's temperament. Inside, we'll play fetch, or hide the treat, or tug of war, or simply snuggle on the couch and watch Netflix.

Availability
I arrange my schedule so that dogs in my care will always be supervised and never left alone. They will have loads of attention and plenty of belly rubs and snuggles.
