14 years of service dog experience
Pet care experience
Dogs hold a special place for me because I depend on them to support me. In the last 14 years, I have trained 3 service dogs for myself. But long before I needed my first service dog, I was a dog sitter. Because of those things, I know how important compassion, attention to detail, and energy are when working with dogs. I am currently looking to work with dog and their parents that live in the Fall Creek area, as a way to earn a little spending money for myself during a challenging financial situation. I am more flexible about my hours than I was able to rely via the app, so please ask if your interest in times outside the ones given. Thanks for considering me as your new dog sitter!
Reviews
Catherine is a wonderful person who has a kind and caring heart. She works very hard to make sure all pets are comfortable, happy, and safe. The time and energy she has taken to help her own pets adjust to new life changes is admirable and I'm sure after talking to her you will see just how caring she is, with all pets, her own or not.
I have known Catherine and her two Siberian Huskies for 8 years. Both dogs are lovely to be around, well-mannered, and well trained all because of the time and care she puts into training her dogs. The care and love Catherine has for her dogs and cat, extends to all animals and any pets left in her care. You can be rest assured your pets will be in capable, loving hands with Catherine.
Catherine has over ten years of experience with high energy and intelligent dog breeds such as Siberian Huskies. She has done it all from training puppies to giving gentle, extra loving care to senior dogs. She is attentive to any pet's needs and you can be guaranteed that she will always put them before her own.
I've known Catherine for 8 years and 4 dogs (three of hers, and one of mine). She has done a fantastic job with all of them, raising her own and pet-sitting mine (and my two cats!) several times. I am confident speaking to Catherine's knowledge of dog do's and don'ts, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog caregiver of any kind.

Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet
For my first visit, it's important that I know any medical history your puppy has, any challenges they have (such as food aggressiveness), and emergency contacts. After that, it's love and fun!
A typical day
I like to keep dogs that don't know me well near home just in case they get nervous. But after we know each other, we can go to the dog park, play fetch in the back yard, or set up puppy play dates with other local dog owners!
