Dogs can be Good Boys & Good Girls

Pet care experience

I'm a huge animal lover and luckily my family has always had lots of pets such as rodents, dogs, and even horses. All of my siblings fell in love with horses, so I always took care of the family dogs. I've walked big (150+) and small dogs and haven't had problems with either. Calling myself a professional trainer is a stretch, but all my dogs respond to basic commands such as sit, speak, lay, stay and come, so if you want me to work with them I'd be more than happy to! I have experience pet-sitting from bunnies to a pack of seven high energy dogs. I'm very determined to give pets the best care possible, and if I'm unsure of any instructions will not hesitate to ask for clarification no matter how menial the task may appear. I refuse to adopt my own dog until I can give it the space and attention that all dogs deserve, so until then let me shower your dog(s) in love and belly-rubs! I'm a full time student and will update my availability as my class schedule changes, but am open to one-time, long-term, and everything in between. My current availability is Monday: 2-3p & after 5:30p Tuesday: after 5:15p Wednesday: 2-3p Thursday: after 4p Friday: after 2p Saturdays & Sundays: Free I'm currently unable to provide home services. However, living near campus gives me access to multiple parks and trails that would be excellent for walks.

Outside of my family, Catie is the only person I trust with my fur babies! She goes above & beyond with their care - plays with them extensively, takes them on longer walks than I do, plus lots of belly rubs, cuddles & kisses. I know they love her too by their eager greetings & rapid tail wagging! They all vie for her attention, and they all receive it. She truly is the best!!

Catherine is the only person I trust to watch my dogs! When she comes over to the house - she immediately greets the dogs and they absolutely love her. Catie has been a part of our family's life throughout many dogs - from black labs to australian shepards to cavaliers to golden doodles - and she has connected with each one of them. She's even done a great job with our smaller friends - like my sister's chinchilla. Catie is the most loving and thoughtful person I know, and she would never let anything bad happen to an animal. I simply cannot recommend her enough!

Catie was easily the best pet sitter I've ever had. I've sent my bunny to the vet before to be watched and returned to find him skinny and sad. However, when I returned from a trip after asking Catie to pet sit, Marley was happy as could be. Not only does Catie make sure that she understands what needs to be done to care for the animals, she also sends updates regularly to let people know that their pets are doing well (including pictures!). One weekend while she was watching my dog, there was a bad thunderstorm, and she made sure he was comfortable by hanging out with him and texting to let me know that he was okay. I never have any doubts when Catie is with my pets; it's one less thing to worry about while I'm gone. The only negative thing is that sometimes when I get back, my dog doesn't get as excited to see me as he does when he sees Catie!

I currently am not providing home services, but I live in close proximity to multiple large open spaces where your furry friend could run and play. However, I do have seven roommates, so if you think you're best friend needed some extra love I know just the place to go!

Information Catherine L. would like to know about your pet

How social is your dog? What are they uncomfortable around? Any behaviors I should be aware of, or you'd like to work on? Do they have any allergies/ what are they allowed & not allowed to eat?

A typical day

Depending on how social your dog is, we could walk on or off campus. I'm always down for a game of fetch, wrestling, frisbee, or tug.
