Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring for pets like they’re family
I’ve been around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. In the past, I’ve had two rescue dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, and needs (including my prior geriatric dog with medication needs). I’m used to keeping pets on a schedule and helping them feel safe and settled. I’ve also helped care for friends’ and family’s dogs over the years, and I’ve volunteered on a goat farm and an equine therapy program, which gave me experience working with a variety of animals and temperaments. Overall, I aim to be patient, attentive, and reliable. I always appreciated good communication when my pets were being cared for and I intend to provide you with the same peace of mind.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Catherine was great with my dog Jax. She sent lots of pictures and he was well cared for while I was out of town.
Prompt and professional, would use again to board our dog. Thanks Catherine!
Catherine was amazing and so considerate of our dog
Catherine was great! She was quick to respond and provided good, timely updates. Would highly recommend! Cooper had a wonderful stay.
Just wonderful as always. Thank you again for being so kind to my pup😊🤍
This was way better than boarding with a facility and I would definitely do it again. Catherine was wonderful, she sent updates 2x daily with photos and I can just see that my pup felt at home and cozied up to her which made me feel completely at ease and happy. Leaving your pup with someone else can be stressful but I didn’t feel worried with Catherine at all. I will only be booking with her in the future if possible. Thank you Catherine for being so lovely with Fezco and I can see he misses you.

Schedule
I work from home 4-5 days/week, which allows me to be attentive throughout the day. I enjoy getting outside for walks, as well as spending time in my backyard for supervised play time. Dogs that are low-to-moderate energy and who tolerate downtime fit best into my routine. I do have activities evenings and weekends but can provide adequate potty breaks on days where I am not home as much.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I keep a clean, pet-friendly home and make safety a priority. I follow each pet’s routine, and any special instructions. I also provide routine updates so owners feel confident and reassured. For safety when unsupervised, I either crate dogs who are crate-trained or contain dogs to one room with baby gates.
A typical day
I enjoy getting out for regular walks! There are lots of walkers and other dogs in my neighborhood. There are great walking paths and the lake nearby. Your pet can also enjoy plenty of backyard playtime and inside there’s not shortage of cuddles to be had.

- I only board dogs that are well-behaved, have good house manners, follow basic commands, have some degree of recall, and can walk without excessive leash pulling. I also need to know whether your dog is crate-trained and if uncrated will tolerate containment with baby gates. Dogs who have issues with kids or other dogs are taken on a case by case basis. If your dog has significant medical or behavioral considerations, I would recommend seeking a more specialized sitter.
