Pet care experience

Animals speak to my soul

At my home or if I help you out at yours, I want your furkids to feel happy and cared for and very comfortable. Dogs and cats are very much a part of our everyday life and I will keep it to 3 compatible guest dogs in house at most. I've worked in rescue for min pins and boxers for 15 years and animals know I love them and have dealt with very difficult situations and care. We've been to many training classes with my dogs so have the basics down and probably more than that. Dogs and cats are family and I care very much about their comfort and happiness. I will listen to owners wants and needs for their babies and am very responsible and reliable and care very much about the health of your pets when you are not able to be with them. I'd love to help you and your fur kiddos out!

Would definitely recommend! She was great at communicating and kept me updated with pictures of my dog, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciated how well she cared for my dog and kept me in the loop. I will definitely use her again

1st time using Rover! Loved the meet & greet with Catherine and her dogs. Catherine was quick to reply to a text I sent to check in on Barley. She also sent pictures throughout the weekend. I know he had a good weekend. He was tired when he got home!

We absolutely loved Catherine! Our dog loved her and her dogs and had a blast. We were so grateful to know he was in such great hands while we were gone.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure fenced yard - very park-like. Most dogs love my back yard and ask to go out many times. I let them out as I see a need.

Pets

A typical day

We can play fetch inside or just chase around the areas of the back yard. Dogs can bring their own toys, but they have plenty to do here.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Catherine can host up to 4 pets per night
Dogs that I care for do need to be kid and dog friendly. I take care of babies and toddlers for a living, and do have the ability to separate if they jump. Most dogs want to jump.
