Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet

I prefer smaller dogs who are comfortable with people, have a positive demeanor and are potty trained. All immunizations must be up to date along with flea/tick protection.

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy fun walks through town and at the park. Playing a little chase perhaps in the house and then cuddling on my lap to quiet down. Lots of hugs and praise with a regular attentive care.

One Dog at a Time, Always 🐾

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Catherine, and I offer a calm, loving home where your dog will be the only guest (unless you’re boarding multiple pups from the same family). With personalized attention and peaceful surroundings, your dog will be treated like one of my own. I was a devoted dog parent to my rescue, Chloe, for 12 wonderful years. She was truly a member of my family. Since her passing, I’ve found so much meaning in caring for the pets of neighbors and friends—and now, through Rover, I’m honored to welcome other dogs into my home. What I provide: 🐾 One-on-one attention in a peaceful, pet-focused environment 🐾 Daily walks, praise, cuddles, and play tailored to your dog’s needs 🐾 Regular photo updates so you feel connected while you're away 🐾 A soft, joyful presence and a reliable, caring sitter you can trust I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine—it’s important to me that your dog feels secure, seen, and loved during their stay. Whether your pup is active or more mellow, we’ll find our rhythm together. Let me know if you have any questions or specific requests. I’m happy to help create a great experience for both you and your furry friend! Catherine

Catherine was great! We were fortunate she was available on short notice. She was great with Rory. He was comfortable staying there and we would be happy to have him stay again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
