Pet care experience

All dog clients will be confirmed with current vet and vaccinations. Only homeowner viable dog breeds will be allowed at this location as we only accept two dogs at one time and safe for current pet dogs. I've had dogs all my life. Worked with my parents for over 30 years while they raised and showed champion collies (they are now retired). I have taken my 2 small dogs to daycare every week for the last 5 years. Now that I have a large home and completely fenced double yard in Wisconsin Rapids I can welcome your dog into my home any time. I am a remote accountant. We have dog door to yard that accommodated all sizes which is so convenient in winter. Dog door to yard also includes solar motion detectors for every are, security cameras as well as new 10' dog ramp for elder dogs. We specialize in elder dog care requiring special diets, stable quiet low impact walking areas, sight/hearing needs, quiet environment, lots of treats every 2 hours (home made beef or chicken jerky and commercial brands depending on dental/dietary needs). As needed, we will provide daily dog diapers but ask that you consider this expense and treats in your tip perhaps?

Catherine took incredible care of our dog and we got tons of pictures & videos while we were gone. We so appreciated knowing our Ernie was well cared for and enjoying his "vacation" too!!

It was a wonderful experience leaving Nelli with Cathy. She greeted us at the door and made Nelli feel at home. She was well taken care of and we will definitely use her services again. Received many pictures and videos throughout the day which made us feel very comfortable.

Catherine was a joy to work with! I felt very comfortable sle throughout the process, and our yellow lab Charlie had an amazing time staying there! She made sure to keep us updated with lots of pictures and videos during our week away. I will definitely book with her again when we need someone next time!

I am not really a dog person. I love *my* dog but other people’s dogs are just ok. Cathy is a true dog person and my dog had a blast at her house for the week. Cathy loved my dog I think as much as I love my dog. My dog laid on the couch next to Cathy. She snuggled in bed with Cathy. She sat outside with Cathy. And she played with all the dogs. Cathy sent me video and photos the whole time I was away. I was nervous to leave my dog at first because I’m a weirdo. But Cathy was absolutely wonderful. I honestly cannot recommend her enough. Five stars aren’t enough stars. She is a treasure and you are lucky to have her. I was in town from PA to pick up my sister who lives in Wisconsin to head to Yellowstone. I decided at the last minute my dog would be happier staying behind. Cathy came through for me in a huge way. I wish I lived closer. lol. And my sister and I have already decided we will plan our next joint vacation around Cathy’s schedule. Thank you Cathy so much!
