Pets big or small, I love them all!

Pet care experience

I have loved all animals as long as I can remember. My family has always had cats, dogs, birds and through the years snakes, rabbits and many other pets. I began my equine journey at 9 years old and soon after lead pony riders in exchange for riding time. By the time I was 14 I was working at a large public riding facility and by 16 I was driving to exercise client horses. At 18 I began farm sitting, training horses and instructing owners on horsemanship, as well as working at a dog kennel and quickly became manager. I currently have a mini farm with horses, chickens, cats and dogs. My love for animals never stopped but services were on hold for a few years so I could raise my kids. We are a family of animal lovers and I know how important it is to rely on someone when you are not there. I am dependable, have great communication and strive to do my best every day. I love every animal as if they were my own, take comfort in knowing they will be in good hands!

We had the best experience with Cathy! Our pups got lots of love will we were gone and were cared for very well. Communication was top notch and you could tell she really wanted to make them feel right at home. Cannot recommend enough!

Cathy is incredible and the best sitter we've ever had the pleasure of using. She's super knowledgeable, kind, and loves our animals like they're her own. When we're away, it's such a relief to not have to worry about leaving our furbabies behind. I know they're in the best hands possible!

Cathy gave me one of her dogs puppies and I drop him off often to play with her puppy and mom. I would trust her with any animal in her care! She loves her dogs, cats and has put me on her horse to teach me riding basics. Very attentive and dedicated to the animals, highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Cathy enough for a pet and farm sitter. She has watched my dogs, cats and horses for me and took excellent care of them all! She is responsible and trustworthy, and provides frequent updates. Look no further if you’re needing someone to care for your fur babies! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In clients home I like to do a meet and greet prior to services to make sure I am following routine you have in place. If pets come here we can create a schedule to fit your pets needs. Can accept cats, dogs, and horses at my home. I have 5 acres of fenced property, 1 private acre with run in shelter to accommodate horses. I have a “she shed” I work in often, with air conditioning, can be a private space for cats.

Information catherine c. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, gets uncomfortable in situations or has bad behaviors. I can work out many things and have various options but full discloser is needed to keep myself, my kids and my pets safe. No aggressive animals please.

A typical day

Rural living means tons of space for your dog to play! I have 2 young kids who are animal enthusiasts as well and will play frisbee or fetch anyday! We love our cats too, we can play if they want or just snuggle on the couch with them. Horses that stay, I have years of professional natural horsemanship experience so can play, lunge, or ride while they are here. I have a round pen and mini track in my back 3 acres.
