Information Catherine H. would like to know about your pet

If they don’t do well with other dogs, are high energy, or have any special preferences. Also the risk of them running off when I open the door/ triggers that might cause them to tug/pull hard on the leash.

A typical day

I love to take them to local parks and I will take the pups on exciting new adventures to new places to check out. Fetch is another favorite or running around with them playing keep away.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Catherine and I have been officially dog sitting for 12 years but have been around and loved them for much more. From my experience the owners love how I send picture updates of their pups, reassuring that I made it to let them out and to see how they are doing. I try to leave the house cleaner than I found it, cleaning up any accident if it happens. I am punctual, love to spend a little extra time giving cuddles, and getting to know where that “right spot” is on your pup or cat. I have experience with dogs big and small, especially those with a lot of energy so rest assured I can handle them. My family also has 5 cats so I am very experienced taking care of your kitties too! I am home most days since I’m a local grad student so can come by whenever and however many times that would make you feel comfortable.
