winter time = couch snuggles!

Pet care experience

Coming from a family that couldn't have dogs due to my mom's allergies, I took to the neighborhood and have been taking care of people's fur babies for over 10 years! Dogs bring such a joy into my life, and I would love to help your dog feel safe, loved, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention! I only work part time, so I feel very comfortable checking in on your pup anytime day or night! I've recently been house/dog sitting in the DSM area, and love working and living in central Iowa! My goals are to continue building relationships with families and their pets. I enjoy exploring the trails that I live around, running, biking, but also chilling out with a new series on Netflix. I'm excited to meet your best friend!

We are so grateful Catherine was able to care for our pets in our absence. She is patient, caring, reliable and very capable - and has a lovely gift for connecting with animals. We look forward to working with her again!

Took awesome care of our boxers and even stepped up to care for them an extra day as a result of my scheduling mistake!

Catherine is amazing! She had to deal with the double nerves of an owner who had never left a newly adopted pup and had never used Rover — and she was WONDERFUL. She sent me daily texts and also stayed over a couple nights to hang out with an overly cuddly pup. We’ve already booked another stay with her.

We have no fear leaving our dogs in Catherine's care. She is reliable and trustworthy - loves our puppies and they love her! This is our second time with her staying over night and we were able to enjoy our get away without any worries because we knew our dogs were in such great care! Will always hire her!

Information Catherine D. would like to know about your pet

Every dog has their own personality and quirks, and I would love to hear all about yours! I want to know your furry friend as best as possible to provide seamless care and any special needs they make require.

A typical day

I love all dog breeds, from the mini's to the newfies, I will give your dog undivided attention, time to play, and lots of cuddles! I am free to walk dogs wherever you prefer, typically around your neighborhood or around the downtown trails where I live. If allowed, I may take your dogs to the dog park and let them run freely! Please let me know more about your dog's routine and comfort levels around new dogs/new places, and we'll make a great game plan!
