Animal Lover and Dog Rescuer

Pet care experience

Pets are my life; they are my fur babies. I am a recently retired flight attendant and have always used live in care for my pets while I was working so I know how important it is to know how well your baby is taken care of when you're on the road. I was the human mother of 3 Shelties Bebe, Bella, and Bradley and last Sheltie Bradley passed in 2019. I have been caring for and fostering dogs for over 10 years. My biggest feat was watching hounds for Hounds of Grace Rescue. One time I had 9 fosters plus mine. Now I stick with no more than 2 pets at a time, one family at a time. I recently retired from my job and looking to fill my free time making sure your babies are safe, comfortable and loved while you are gone. Your babies become my babies and get plenty of love and attention. Unfortunately, I do not care for unspayed or unneutered pets.

Murray really loved Catherine. He felt comfortable in her house right away. She spoiled him like crazy by warming his favorite blanket in the dryer, special meals and treats. We will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you Catherine for taking care of our fur baby.

Catherine was there for us when we needed somebody to watch Vinnie. There was great communication and Vinnie got the attention he needs. Catherine was attentive to Vinnie's dietary restrictions and medications. We would definitely use Catherine again to watch Vinnie if we go on another trip.
