Walks, Play & Plenty of Love

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. ❤️

Catherine and her husband took great care of my dog! I was so thankful for the updates and daily photos. He seemed really comfortable and happy when I picked him up. Would definitely book with them again in the future.

Dog Walking • Sep 22, 2026

Catherine has been an excellent dog walker to our boy Bruce, whom she walks multiple times a week. She is super sweet, flexible, and very responsive. Also she takes incredible pictures, like seriously professional level photos - I love having so many beautiful pictures of my boy! 10/10 would absolutely recommend :)

Catherine was absolutely wonderful with Bentley! This was his first time ever staying with a sitter outside of my family, so I was definitely a little nervous, but she made me feel completely at ease. She sent me photos and updates and it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable he was with her. She was also very attentive to all of his little quirks and needs, which I really appreciated. Bentley came home happy and I could tell he had a great time! I feel so much better knowing I have someone I can trust with him and would absolutely recommend Catherine to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pup. We already have his next stay booked with her and I feel so much more at ease knowing he’ll be in great hands! 😊

Catherine and her husband are so sweet and communicative! We received daily updates on Gale’s behavior and lots of cute pics! They spoiled our dog with two walks a day (I normally only give her one!) and have a fenced in yard for play. I could tell that they really cherished having our dog’s company instead of just dogsitting for the additional income. Their heart is in it for sure!

Schedule

I work from home, so pet care fits into my daily routine. We will go on at least two walks each day—one in the morning and another in the early evening after meals. Throughout the day, I check in regularly, and I keep a dog bed next to my desk so your dog can relax nearby while I work. If they decide they’d rather soak up some sunshine by the patio door, I’ll move their bed so they can enjoy this sunny spot. I love having a dog as a companion throughout the day and making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and time together.

Safety, trust & environment

I'll always watch them like they are my own and will make sure they don't get into anything unexpected to keep them in good health.

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. 🐾
