Highlights
Pet care experience
The BEST care for your best friend!
I grew up surrounded by animals. At one point, my family had 25 dogs! These days, I share my home with two incredible dogs: Porkchop, a sweet and loving companion, and Applesauce, my energetic sidekick. In Tennessee I work from home and able to spend my time caring for your pup. In my professional life (when I travel to California), I’m a studio teacher, working with kids on television and movie sets, though I previously taught kindergarten and third grade. I absolutely adore animals and dream of starting my own rescue one day. Until then, I enjoy offering a safe and loving space for pets through dog sitting, especially during breaks between my show seasons. Your furry family members will be treated like my own!

Ratings and reviews
Catherine is the best!!! I feel 100% comfortable leaving our boy with her for a week while we travel out of town or even a quick weekend trip. She’s so good with him and he always comes home so happy! Would recommend her to anyone:-)
Our babies loved her. We received daily photos and pictures. Thank you.
Excellent service and care! Checked in as well during my dogs stay and was very quick with responses to inquiries and updates! 10/10 recommend
Catherine took great care of my baby and I could tell he had lots of fun. Knew I left him in good hands! Highly recommend.
Catherine is awesome! Always prepared to take my pups off my hands at drop off and is ready right when I’m there to pick up.
Our dog loves getting to stay with Catherine and her pups! He comes home happy and well taken care of!

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home with a flexible schedule. I can easily adjust my day to provide attention, walks, meals, and playtime for pets, ensuring they are comfortable and cared for. This flexibility allows me to give them plenty of love and care without feeling rushed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. In my home, I provide plenty of attention, regular walks, and playtime, as well as a cozy space for them to relax. It is important that your pet be up to date on vaccines and flea/tick medication to ensure the safety of all animals in my care. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their specific instructions, maintain the pet’s routine, and ensure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. Their well-being and happiness are always my top priorities.
Pets
A typical day
I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy level! For active pets, I enjoy long walks, playtime with their favorite toys, or even games like fetch. For more relaxed pets, I provide plenty of cuddles, gentle brushing, and quiet companionship. I aim to keep pets happy, engaged, and feeling loved while they’re in my care.
