Gentle, Loving and a Big Cuddler!

Pet care experience

I have been a dog mom for 10+ years. Dogs bring me so much joy and I'd love to give them all the cuddles and attention they very much deserve! All dogs that have met me always stay close to me for the cuddles and scratches. Treats will be given in moderate amounts as it is one of their love languages. If your dog has dietary restrictions, please let me know in advance. Water bowls are placed all around the house so they can have access to fresh water at any time. I have a medium-sized Cockapoo named Ollie who is very gentle and gets along with other dogs. He would bark at the door when you knock but once he sees me interacting with you and your dog, he will calm down and would even ask for pets. I am caring another dog every weekend. Her name is Bella and she is a 2-year-old Shepherd Husky mix. She may look intimidating but she is a Hello Kitty at heart. She’s very sweet, gentle and playful! All in all, I am a big cuddler so if your dog likes to cuddle, I am your girl!

Catherine was an amazing boarder. She treated Muddy like her own from Day 1 and sent us regular updates. Muddy warmed up to her quickly, even though he doesn’t like strangers. I will for sure have her take care of Muddy again.

Catherine was lovely and kind in caring for our puppy while we were out of town for a week. We’d only had our dog for a month before having to leave her. Catherine took great care of her and kept us up to date with texts, pictures, and videos of how our dog was doing. Highly recommend Catherine!

Catherine was an excellent sitter. She provided me pics and videos of Ruby during her stay and informed me how well Ruby was getting along with other dogs. She gave Ruby her medications as requested, gave her belly massages, and just gave her overall love and affection. Catherine kept Ruby for almost 15 days and Ruby was returned to me happy as ever. I will definitely use Catherine for future needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my husband and two friendly dogs. We have a fenced yard so the dogs can play/do their business in the yard. I let them out every hour or so. Ideally, your dog is comfortable sleeping on their own in their bed/crate. I will have them sleep in their bed in our room so they’re close to us.

Information Catherine G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My preference is for breeds that are gentle, love to cuddle, up-to-date on their vaccines.

A typical day

I like to keep dogs mentally and physically stimulated while also allowing them their beauty sleep. There are many walking trails and open parks near my place where they can explore, sniff, and exercise. I have a fenced backyard where we can play fetch and take them for potty breaks. When the sun is out, we'll spend time in the yard and let them gloriously bask in the sun. I also like to play puzzles, tug-o-war, or any games with them when they are not napping. They will also receive cuddles and scratches frequently throughout the stay!
