Your Pet's Next Best Friend

As a devoted animal lover who recently lost my beloved senior boy, I am yearning to fill that void by showering other people’s pets with the same love and devotion. Because I work from home on five acres of land, I am able to offer your dog constant companionship and a peaceful, spacious environment. My hands-on experience spans all life stages—from energetic small puppies to elderly dogs needing gentle, specialized care. Having also adopted and rehabilitated dogs and cats with trauma, I understand the deep patience, calm energy, and compassion required to help every pet feel safe, secure, and right at home.

Catherine was an excellent boarder for our dog Forest. She is a true dog lover, and her home is welcoming and with a large yard, ideal for our active dog Forest. During his one-week stay, she provided regul;ar updates and photos. Forest came home a happy pup! My wife and I highly recommend Catherine.

Millie was well cared for by Catherine and her family. We had a weekend away and she was able to accommodate our drop off and pick up time slots. There were numerous photos which made us feel confident in her care. Great setting with a large yard and only other pet was their cat. Our spaniel does not always grt along with other dogs. Well done! Will viait again:)

We were incredibly impressed with Cathi, especially her Knowledge and care of dogs. Cathi knew my dog specifically and we were able to speak about her habits. We are thrilled and feel very comfortable leaving our dog in Cathi's Carrier care. We give her a five star 🌟

Cathi has been caring for my pup for a while now, whenever I travel to CT with him (which is often). I am so thankful for her! My Morkie, Oliver is so attached to me that I wondered how he would do with others in my absence. Cathi took the time to get to know him and gain his trust. She is patient and I can tell she loves my dog, which makes me feel confident that he is safe and happy.

Schedule

I run my own business from home, and I have very flexible hours. Which allows me to provide constant companionship for your pet. Because I am always around, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine, ensuring your dog will never be left alone for long stretches and will receive all the playtime, potty breaks and attention they need throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether caring for your dog in your home or mine, safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. At my house your dog will enjoy peaceful, leashed walks exploring my 5 acres of land, and I bring that same careful attention to walks in your neighborhood. Because I have experience with delicate elderly dogs, tiny puppies and rescues with trauma, I am highly attentive to safety. I always ensure leashes are completely secure and provide a calm soothing presence so pet feels protected. I do have a cat in my home, however they can be separated if needed. I also have a 22- and 12-year-old daughter and 9-year-old boy who miss their dog and will love on your pet as well.

Pets

A typical day

Our days will be filled with fun, leashed walks, either exploring my five acres or your neighborhood, followed by indoor playtime and all-day couch cuddles. I always make sure they feel loved and secure. Plus, I take lots of photos, so I will send you daily updates of our activities, so you always know your best friend is having a great time!
