Animal mother and lover <3

Pet care experience

My name is Catherine I have always been an animal lover. I've cared for animals my whole life from horses to birds and rabbits to puppies, I have a real connection when it comes to caring for all types of animals. I grew up around many dogs including a Jack Russel, Lab, Mastiff, and two Boxers. I live in Maplewood with my boyfriend, Donny. Our home is very close to a huge dog park and many walking trails which we visit frequently. I'm currently working from home so have a very flexible schedule to be on call whenever needed. I've had specific experience working with senior dogs as one of my Boxers became very ill at the end of his life and needed a lot of extra support and care. I would be happy to pick up your dog or cat and drop them off for no additional fee as long as you are in a 3 mile radius of my home. I am always happy to answer additional questions if you have any. Just let me know!

My 9-month old puppy, Binx, absolutely adores Catherine! Binx is super energetic and requires a lot of supervision and stimulation. Catherine does a fantastic job of entertaining Binx, tiring him out, and helping him settle down when he needs to. Catherine is respectful of our training practice and helps build upon Binx's training when he's not with us. We can trust that Binx is well cared for and having a great time whenever we leave him with Catherine. We are so grateful we found her!

Catherine is a fantastic person to board your dog with - she is super responsive and responsible. Chase had a lovely time staying at Catherine's place. You can't find anyone better!

Being that I have an older dog with medical problems, I needed someone to really take good care of him while I was away. I'm so glad I choose Catherine. She was sensitive to his needs, made sure that he took his medicine and gave him extra care. I am so grateful for Catherine and Rover. I will keep Catherine in mind if I need to go away again in the future.

Information Catherine G. would like to know about your pet

What activities does your dog like to do? Do they get along with other dogs or prefer to play solo? Has your dog had surgery or any type of injury I should be aware of? Are they sick and need medication regularly? Is there a specific time they are used to going out? Have they ever been aggressive towards someone else, another dog, or a child? Please let me know if there is anything major you feel like I should be aware of.

A typical day

I love going to the South Mountain dog park to let pups exercise, play ball, and socialize with other dogs. If your dog isn't a fan of playing with other dogs, no problem, just let me know! There are a bunch of walking trails right near my home.
