Pet care experience
I’ve been volunteering at the SPCA and BARCs with the cats for over 5 years now, including fostering, and want a chance to work with dogs too. I’m excited at the chance to watch or walk your sweet pup. I’d be excited to get to know your dog and learn what makes them really happy. Someday I hope to adopt my own dog, but until then I adore housing and watching dogs of all kinds! My day job is working on the Hubble Space Telescope as a Scientist, I have a flexible schedule and am in the office 2-3 days a week and work from home the other days. My office is also local to Hampden. I’m really excited for the day I get my own dog, but until then I’d love to get to know yours, get all the snuggles and walks I can, and hopefully brighten their day!
Reviews
Catherine did a wonderful job housesitting, was great at communicating, and went above and beyond to make sure my pets were happy and taken care of! Thank you!!!
Catherine was great. Dogs warmed up quickly and when we got home they were happy!
Catherine was professional, thoughtful, very good with my dog, Jack. She was also accommodating and amenable to any last minute changes or conflicts. I’ll be using her services in the future!
Catherine was very sweet and caring. Baby seemed to be very happy staying there!

I have a fenced in back yard for any older pups that don't enjoy longer walks or have issues with our front stairs (no stairs to access the yard); I usually do 3-4 walks on the leash for dogs that enjoy that more, though! I also have experience crating dogs and usually do that when I need to step out. For dogs that can't sleep over night in the crate I'll usually sleep on my couch with them to ensure they have company but also won't get into anything unexpected while I'm sleeping.

Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet
I do have two cats that have learned to watch and wonder about dogs. Also, unfortunately, I don't have access to a car, so I can't make it much further than a mile to visit and walk your pup/help care for any other fur-babies you may have. But if you're looking for someone to house-sit for a few days that's still possible if you're further than a 15-20 minute walk from me. I'm very flexible and do love caring for these cuties while I'm at a point where I can't own a dog myself.
A typical day
I live near the park at Kewsick and 33rd in Hampden so there's a lot of great walking areas near here. My house is two levels and the dogs are allowed on the first floor to give our cats space upstairs. We also have a completely fenced in backyard - it's not huge, but we often sit outside with our two cats who are able to be off-leash back there. Many dogs have enjoyed the sun and breeze with us as well! My boyfriend will also aid in caring for the pups, and as a personal trainer he'd love to take your dog for a run if that's something your dog would enjoy!
