your pet’s interim pack leader

Pet care experience

Looking for socialization for your pet, but finding dog parks to be too intimidating for your furry friend? Spend some time with my rat terrier mix Buffy in a relaxed and safe environment. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and board their pets while maintaining a structure in their daily routine. With the support of Buffy, I’ll stand in as your pet’s pack leader to help them feel comfortable and safe.

Catherine did a great job watching Moose. She took him for walks and sent photo updates throughout the stay. I would definitely reach out to her again in the future!

Catherine was a wonderful host for our dog Rascal this past week while we were on vacation. Her dog Buffy was a sweet companion and she took great care of our pooch. She is a very competent, calm care giver and helped Rascal adjust to a new home and routine with compassion.

Information Catherine G. would like to know about your pet

I want to make sure it’s a good fit, so let’s coordinate a brief in-person meet and greet to make sure our dogs get along. Please share information on meal schedules, exercise routine, temperament, typical sleeping arrangements, and comfortability in a car. If your dog has food allergies, needs special accommodations, and/or has behavioral quirks I should know about, please share these as well.

A typical day

There are many sights, smells, and dog-friendly places in my neighborhood. We will take walks every 4 hours. Depending on what best suits your furry friend, we can take morning jogs, neighborhood strolls, visit the dog park, hike at a local park, or people watch at a nearby restaurant.
