Highlights
Pet care experience
Give your pets the best vacation!
As a lifelong dog lover with extensive experience caring around for my own black labs and a golden retriever, I bring a deep understanding of canine needs and behaviors to my dog sitting. Having lived with dogs my entire life, I know how to handle various situations and ensure they’re happy and safe. What sets me apart is my commitment to providing personalized care. I work from home, so your furry friends will receive continuous attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m particularly adept at caring for dogs with special needs. My golden retriever has seizures, which has made me attentive and knowledgeable about managing such conditions. I will be dedicated to your pups well being, even getting up in the middle of the night to help. Every dog I’ve looked after has had a blast, and I guarantee your pet will too! I’m passionate about creating a fun, loving environment where dogs can thrive. Choose me as your dog sitter, and rest assured your beloved companion will be treated like family.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets my approach is centered around constant companionship and attention. I believe that pets thrive when they feel secure and loved, so I ensure they are never left alone for long periods. I will maintain their routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I will be attentive to their needs, from feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles. Your dog will always be my top priority, and I strive to create a positive experience that keeps them happy and engaged.
Ratings and reviews
Catherine was punctual and communicated wonderfully, she even sent a video Thunder loves her
Cat was amazing! She took such good care of Mowgli, taking him for lots of walks, and playing with her dogs. Our apartment was spotless when we came home. Could not recommend more
Our almost one year old dog had a wonderful time with Catherine. Her 2 dogs seem super sweet and fun for our dog to get a chance to play with. Her yard was great for outdoor play time. She sent fun videos and updates while we were out for the day
My husband and I went on vacation for over two weeks, and Catherine stayed with our wonderful bulldog. I don’t like to admit it, but she took better care of him than we do! She took him on outings and trips, let him sleep in her room at night (even though he snores unbelievably loud!), and I could tell he missed her when we returned. I trust Catherine completely. She’s a true professional—an animal lover who’s also responsible, kind, and friendly to everyone she meets. We will definitely use her dog-sitting services again. She’s fantastic!

Schedule
When caring for my own dogs my day often starts before 5 AM when my dogs let me know it’s time for breakfast. I will prioritize your pets needs, ensuring they are fed on a consistent schedule at the same times each day, even if it’s very early or late! My golden takes meds so I am very punctual about that as well if needed for your pet. In addition to feeding, I can provide daily walks or runs. And throughout the day I will let them out regularly to go to the bathroom and enjoy the fresh air. With my work from home setup, I’m always available to be with them, ensuring they receive plenty of attention and love. My schedule revolves around their needs, and I love every moment of it!
