Special spot for your loved ones

Pet care experience

I treat every pet like they are my own beloved dog! Your dog will recieve all the love, care and attention I lavish on my own pup. Spending time with dogs has been very therapeutic for me, as I'm currently in remission, and working part-time from home. I look forward to meeting your dog and catering to their individual needs. You can expect several walks every day, toys, enrichment games, and grooming as needed. I have years of experience, knowledge of dog behaviour and first aid.

I had a wonderful experience with Catherine. She kept me updated with photos and videos of my dog Toby. Toby is usually shy, but he seemed very comfortable and relaxed with Catherine and her sweet dog Lovely. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book her again soon.

Catherine was our first experience with Rover and it went so well. Our dog had a nice walk and sleep on the couch. We got pictures and videos throughout the day. For our first experience it was very good and we were quite happy. Thank you Catherine

I was quite nervous about leaving my 15 year old Shih Tzu Moxie but really wanted to go to a concert with my granddaughter. Catherine assured me she would send video and photos so could see how she was doing. Within a half hour she showed me that Moxie was eating an going for a walk! Then, napping on sofa with Catherine. Catherine was also very accommodating regarding drop off and pick up. I feel that Catherine is a stellar example of a Rover pet caregiver.

Information Catherine D. would like to know about your pet

Like my dog, your dog must be up to date on all their vaccines and parasite prevention (flea, tick, worms, heartworm etc). Let me know if your dog has any special needs or habits. I want to make sure your dog feels right at home. The more information, the better!

A typical day

There are plenty of cozy spots at my house for your dog to have a nap, quiet streets for a walk, and a park to play in! I've also got toys and enrichment games.
