Information Catherine l. would like to know about your pet

Energy level and typical walking routine Any leash reactivity, anxiety, or triggers (animals, people, bikes, etc.) Commands your dog knows and any training you’re working on Medical conditions, medications, allergies, or mobility issues Potty schedule and any history of accidents Feeding instructions and treats they can/cannot have Any behaviors such as barking, jumping, escaping, resource guarding, or chewing Anything else that helps your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy!

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to their personality and energy level. Will take them on walks, cuddle time, and plenty of outdoor time (weather permitting). For senior pups or lower-energy dogs, I'm just as happy to provide leisurely strolls, sunbathing, and lots of belly scratches and companionship. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and has fun while you're away. 🐾

Walks, Play & Plenty of Love

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved them. After losing my last best friend, I decided to start fostering, which has given me the opportunity to experience so many different personalities, routines, and needs. Committed to providing the best one-on-one attention while boarding, I pause fostering so your best friend will have my full attention and enjoy a safe, loving, home-like environment. ❤️

Catherine has been walking Charlie regularly for a month and he absolutely loves her. He’s a big boy who can pull, but she is very patient and kind with him. She sends the cutest pics and keeps us up to date on anything she thinks we need to know about his behavior on walks. We highly recommend her as a dog walker!

She was really sweet with Foxy. We had great communication the whole time, and even though I didn’t get to meet her in person, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident that Foxy was in great hands. Foxy seemed really happy and excited when she came back from her walk, which I could see on the camera! I would definitely love to have her help walk Foxy again whenever I’m out of town. Thank you again! I really appreciate how kind and caring you were with Foxy. 💕

Catherine was an amazing sitter for my dog, Finn!! He felt very comfortable with her and she was so so welcoming to him! She sent updates of Finn and made sure he ate and went potty! She also took him on walks and took him on an adventure! We will be asking her to watch him in the future!

Catherine is amazing! She absolutely loves dogs and is super attentive and caring. She takes lots of pictures and is great at communicating and responding to messages. My doggo Tam absolutely loves her and always runs up to her when I drop her off. I would definitely recommend Catherine to anyone who is looking for a warm and loving person to take care of their best friend.
