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. After my cancer diagnosis last year I switched to working part-time from home. Spending my time with dogs has been very therapeutic for me, and my doctors are supportive of my dog sitting abilities, and I have lots of support for any emergencies. 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.

Sorry for the One star review. Catherine is a nice person however her apartment is Extremely small! She barely has enough room for herself and her dog. It’s a cluttered place. She never let us visit her place beforehand or we never would have booked her. We met at a park so the dogs could meet each other. They were fine together. Catherine then sent pictures of her place but they didn’t give a good indication of what we were getting into (on the wall outside of the elevator there’s a needle drop box!!!). Our dog was fearful at her place and started to show the stress by peeing and pooping on her carpet. Catherine couldn’t manage that so asked us the first night to come back from our vacation (3.5 hours away) and get Bella. She said she’d keep her in her crate the rest of the time! However she did take the two dogs for walks. I had to call a friend (with the help of her mother) to come and get Bella the next day. They took her to their place and gave her a bath just in case she had flees!! Yikes. We’ve used Rover before and would have rebooked with our other sitter but she was already booked.

Catherine is a great dog sitter! We felt very comfortable with her looking after our dog. Highly recommend her.

Catherine is wonderful -- caring and thoughtful. She's very diligent about providing regular updates and sharing photos + videos of my babies. Most importantly, she treats them as her own. Will book again. Highly recommend.

Information Catherine D. would like to know about your pet

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! Like my dog, your dog must be up to date on all their vaccines and parasite prevention (flea, tick, worms, heartworm etc)

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.

Working from home means I can give maximum time and attention to your dog, and they will rarely be left alone. My older dog sometimes only needs one walk per day, but he can stay home while I take your dog for additional walks.
