Home full-time - love long walks
Pet care experience
I’ve grown up with dogs of different breeds & sizes & currently own 2 Boston terriers - ages 11 & 7 months. I have no problem walking multiple dogs at once. I’m available all day. I love to walk neighborhoods or parks (whichever is convenient), as well as the Hamden bike trail. Active dogs are great & puppies with lots of energy. As well, my 11 year old dog is aging quickly so I have experience with dogs in the aging process. I am able to give dogs medicine orally. I have experience walking dogs & taking care of them while families are on vacation. I prefer to watch dogs in their own environment, as i think they tend to be more comfortable. I have a deep love of dogs & their companionship.
Reviews
If anyone wants their dog loved and cared for I would speak highly of Catherine. She has watched my Basset Hound many times and I am able to leave Mona Lisa without any worries. My dog is almost 14 years old and ishe is my life so she is not left with just anyone. I have also seen Catherine with her two Boston Terriers Catherine is a professional in whatever she does and I highly recommend her. She is just a loving and caring person.
Catherine has been an ideal dog sitter and walker for many years. She is caring, compassionate and enjoys the company of our best friends. Her own dogs are well mannered, fun and loving. I recommend her highly to take care of your dogs when you cannot.
I highly recommend Catherine as a dog walker/sitter for your service. She has had dogs of her own and takes the best care of all the dogs she cares for. She treats them like family. A very responsible, organized and loving woman. Your clients and their dogs will love her and be fortunate to have Catherine as their dog caregive!

Skills
Information Catherine D. would like to know about your pet
How well they walk on a leash. How they are when other dogs pass them on their walks. If they’ve ever been aggressive or passive in situations & how the owners have dealt with those situations. I prefer medium to smaller size breeds but depending on the temperament I could try larger breeds - I did grow up with a lab/mastiff/chow mix.
A typical day
Neighborhoods are great to walk in. Also, Hamden has a great bike trail. I enjoy playing with dogs - fetch, tug, etc. anything really to get some of that pent up energy out.
