About Catherine D.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When walking your dogs, I will make sure they are on leash at all times and will monitor their body language to make sure they are comfortable. I am happy to take water bowls and bottled water with me to make sure they stay hydrated. If I am taking care of your pets inside your home, I will follow all rules you leave me to make sure they stay safe, happy, and secure.
Information Catherine D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and, in particular, if they are dog reactive or people reactive. I want to give your dog the best possible experience while keeping everyone safe! Please also let me know what type of collar or harness you want me to use when walking your dog and whether or not they pull hard on the lead.
A typical day
I would love to provide your dog with both physical and mental stimulation. I'm happy to toss a ball or Frisbee as long as your pup desires and will make sure to let your dog get in plenty of sniffs along their walks since they see the world through their noses! I can set up puzzle mats or other games at home. I'm also happy to work on any obedience commands you are teaching your furry friend. If you have a cat, I love playing with the "string on the stick" (in all of its many form) or any other types of games your cat prefers.

Pet care experience
I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and started taking care of my neighbors' cats when I was barely 10 years old. Since then, I have pet sit for my neighbors' cats and dogs and walked my neighbors' dogs as needed. I have also volunteered in an aquarium, at local shelters, and at a wildlife rehab center. I graduated from the University of Washington with a certificate in Applied Animal Behavior in 2022. Since then, I have completed walks, drop ins, and overnight sitting stays for a large variety of happy clients. I even worked at a dog training studio for a year! (Note: I am not a certified dog trainer.) Keeping your furry friends happy and healthy is my priority!
Reviews
Catherine is amazing! Our dog is a little skittish with new people, and reluctant to warm up, but not with Catherine! She won Skye over and has had little to no issues with walking our anxious but loving 70 pound dog. Can't recommend her enough!
Catherine was absolutely amazing with our cat. She was always on time and very diligent with all instructions. She also has a good cat energy and was able to get our super shy cat to warm up to her. Will definitely use her services again!
Catherine is reliable, has a great attitude, and gets along well with our Shiba Inu. Thanks, Catherine!
Catherine is fantastic!! She always gives our pups the best love and care dog parents could ask for!! Thank you Catherine!!!
