Safety, trust & environment

We see pets as a family member and treat them as such. If your pet is staying at our home they’ll be allowed to cuddle on the couch and beds, and ride in the car. If sitting in your home we treat it with the utmost respect! We are careful to avoid anything your pet may be allergic to or that may scare them. We ask that if your pet has any special needs, something they dislike, or something they love doing to please let us know! Their happiness and well-being as well as your peace of mind is our number one concern.

Information Catherine C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or a routine you would like them to stick to. I want their stay to be as comfortable as possible for them and you.

A typical day

I love being active and spending time outside. Typically I’m gardening, walking, or running, but also love to throw my favorite Netflix movie on. The pets I watch can expect to go for walks, and smell all those new and enticing neighborhood smells, and enjoy the back yard. At a minimum I’ll walk the pups in the morning and at night especially for those dogs with high and low energy. All dogs can expect playtime and cuddles as well.

Pet care experience

My boyfriend and I love dogs. He has trained over 4 dogs in the past. We are animal lovers and adopted 2 dogs of our own from rescues in Texas. Unfortunately we aren’t able to board in our home at the moment, but we would love to give your pets the love and care they deserve while you are away, or busy for the day.

Catherine was great with my 5 month old pup! She is super responsive, active and genuinely cares for animals. I knew my pup was safe in her hands!

Cat was great with my anxious and reactive dog and my barely un-strayed cat when I was away for a few days! It’s so hard to find people to watch my dog bc she can be difficult and doesn’t want to stay in other peoples’ houses, but Cat handled her so well. I’m holding onto her number to keep her for future visits!

Cat was great! Very clear communication, fun pictures, and she kept us updated on how our pets were doing. Will definitely rebook!
