I walk the dogs every morning and in the night time after dinner. All dogs have different unique behaviors , so I’ll make sure to adjust based on that. Pls let me know your dog special needs, routines, energy level etc . I would be willing to accommodate them. Apparently I can only accommodate a small to medium breed dogs .I only accept big dogs (50lbs up to 70lbs) if they are well trained and known to be friendly with kids and small dogs.

I have a mellow senior dog which can be a couch potato.

Maggie stayed with Catherine for 6 nights/7 days, the longest we had ever had to board her with someone. Catherine was just wonderful, she always sent pictures, videos and updates. Maggie has stayed with her a few times before so we knew she would be in good hands, and she was. Catherine looks after Maggie like she’s her own, and that’s all we could ever ask for. We can’t recommend Catherine enough!
