Will run/hike with your dog <3

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a big part of my life and whenever I see one, I can’t resist asking the owner, “may I pet your dog??” Last August my dog Charlie passed away after 13 years of togetherness and I miss him dearly. I loved taking him on runs and hikes until he got too old and we would then go for long walks. Taking the time to spend outside with him was also important to me because it's vital for all beings to get some fresh air. Recently I moved back from NH and have been looking for work. Since I love dogs and love being outside I thought this would be a perfect job! I’ve taken care of dogs from a little as 15 lbs to as large as a 170lb slobbery English Mastiff. I care about other peoples dogs as much as I did my own and promise to take good care of them. I’ll make sure they are sufficiently satisfied with their play time!

We enjoyed meeting Catherine for the first time and felt comfortable having her come in to our home to walk our dog Cora for a couple of days. Cora was very excited to meet her. Catherine was very responsive, checking in when she got here and sending a picture when she left letting us know how everything went. We would definitely use Catherine again.

Catherine treats your pups like her own! Mine are special needs (meds, illness, elderly) & were treated w/extra love. Didn’t worry a bit! She also reports on their progress & gives them special outings. Great caretaker :-)!

Responsible dog lover! Your animal will get lots of love and attention from Catherine, who loves being in the outdoors too - the best combo for a dog caregiver! She’s taken good care of our collie on a few occasions, and taken him on some fun hikes. I loved seeing her hiking selfies with Wesley. You could always see that she was loving what she was doing and Wesley was so happy too! Hire Catherine. Your dog will thank you!

Catherine was great. She stayed at my house while I was away in Nicaragua. Her and Sydney sent pics and went climbing and walking daily. He really enjoyed her company and loves seeing her when she comes to visit. I highly recommend:)))

Information Catherine F. would like to know about your pet

Before dog sitting I dog I would mainly like to know if they are friendly with other people and dogs? Are their any areas they do not like to be pet or triggers that make them uncomfortable, such as loud noises or music? I do prefer medium to larger dogs as I can take on sufficient runs/hikes where they will keep up, but I like dogs of any size.

A typical day

I'm a big fan of Potomac Overlook Regional Park in Arlington and I am familiar with the hiking and biking trails in the area. Teddy Roosevelt Island is another favorite of mine. Depending on your dog's needs I can run them, hike with them, play fetch with them for hours and even take them for a swim depending on the weather. If they like other dogs then I could take them to the dog park in the area.
