Pet care experience

Be the dog!

Lifelong dog, cat, horse owner! Sold the farm (at least I didn't buy the farm yet) and live in town now but still the pets rule the roost!! Since I'm home so much I thought I'd offer pet sitting, my place or yours. I'm semi retired and luv to give tons of attention, walks and such. Whatever one needs. Years of vet care too. My house is a dog resort!!! Even a small dog pool out back, in and out privileges, dog beds all over the deck, TV room, office, etc. Max comfort, every dog has luv'd it here and molded right in!

Catherine is just incredible. She took amazing care of Benji. Her backyard is a sanctuary for dogs to sunbathe and relax. Catherine was very prompt in communication and sent lots of pictures which I loved. She is the best of the best! We are so appreciative.

Catherine was fantastic. She gave my senior Olive a lot of extra care & kept me well informed. We appreciate all the extra help while we were away :-)

Catherine has been a blessing to our family. She is very flexible with her time and with understanding our needs. She is helping to reiterate what the dog is learning. Catherine is amazing with dogs and Sammy is having fun with her! Thank you, Catherine, for being there for us!

Charco's stay with Catherine was perfect! If I could rate higher than 5 stars I absolutely would. Catherine's knowledge and skill at handling difficult animals was clear. The environment was safe and quiet. Charco had a great time and I was able to relax because I knew he was in great hands.

She is the best dog person ever. It was a miracle that I found her. She knows so much about dogs. She helped me with advice on training and took the most beautiful pics of my dog . . She is one of the best on here. So grateful.

Catherine is amazing with my dog bandit. She is so attentive and is teaching him some commands. They get along so well. I was so lucky to get her to help me.
