Home is where your dog is..

Pet care experience

My name is Cate and I have been a professional dog sitter for 6 + years. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies, aggressive dogs, special needs dogs and even birds. This is my only job so the dogs that are lucky enough to be in my care receive ALL of my attention. Day boarders and overnighters get 24/7 care and love. My house is a dog friendly, relaxed and positive atmosphere with plenty of space to run and exercise, far from public roads. I own an adult female German Shepherd named Lucy, she is the most gentle soul you’ll ever meet and she keeps vigilant watch over our visitors. Let your dogs enjoy the country life at Cate’s place while you take care of business.

Cate's Place has been an answer to my doggy prayers! Leaving your dog in a strange place can be such a stressful situation. There's always so much uncertainty that comes along with it. Will my dog be well cared for? Will they get the proper exercise and not be kenneled all day? Will they receive the same love and attention that they do at home? Cate's Place took all of the stress and worry off of my mind! You can immediately see the love she has for dogs portrayed by her adorable fur baby, Lucy! Lucy was so happy, friendly and well behaved! She helped take the anxiety right out of my little Buster! The beautiful wooded property was a nice change for Buster. We live in an apartment so this really gave him the chance to stretch his legs and enjoy being out in nature! It was such a relief knowing that he wouldn't be cooped up the whole time I was gone! Cate herself was a delight to do business with! She had no problems talking to me about my worries and concerns. She quickly put my mind at ease. She even offered to send me pictures of Buster playing while I was away which really made being away from him for so long much easier. It was wonderful to be able to see that he was happy! I can't recommend this place enough. I would definitely consider it more of a doggy retreat than anything else. Buster had a wonderful time!

I have always known Catherine to be a loving and responsible animal lover/owner. You could swear her dog speaks English the way she listens to Catherine. Whether it’s free range chickens, ducks, peacocks, dogs, cats, or fish, she puts love into caring for animals as if they were her own children. I have trusted her with my four dogs on many occasions and they are always happy and healthy when I pick them up, sometimes they don’t want to leave! And they always start getting excited when they can tell we are getting close to her house. Highly recommend, 10 out of 10, will board my dogs again.

Loveeeee her! My fur baby, Pete, has to take seizure meds every 8 hours and Cate always makes sure he gets them. She really is great with him and I feel good about him spending the day and having sleepovers at Cates place!

We love Cate!!!! She is so good with our pittie, Nova. Nova knows as soon as we turn on Cates road and she gets so excited! Cate has a lot of property for Nova to run around on but Cate always supervises her, she sends me pictures and videos of her while we are away which is always nice. I wish she accepted real children!

My V.I.D’s (very important dog) enjoy running, walks in the country, pool and sprinkler time. Senior dogs get treated to massages. Some of my clients even like to have a book read to them before bed!
