One Dog at a Time, Always 🐾

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 took good care of Amber over 4 nights. She administered Ambi's eye drops on time and ensured she felt comfortable. Also, ensured to keep the food exciting so that Amber does not skip her meals. Thank you, Catherine.

Catherine is very responsive, which made the booking process seamless. She is a very pleasant lady and very easy to talk to, our puppy was very comfortable with her from the get go. I had no issues at all i will definitely book her again in the future.

We had a wonderful experience with Catherine watching our dog! She was lovely and great at communicating with us, and sent multiple check ins to reassure us that he was doing well. Would absolutely recommend her care and we will be reaching out again in the future!!

Schedule

I am a self employed artist with the flexibility to be available to care for your pets needs. I tend work from about 10 am until 5pm, from home, which makes it possible for me to maintain regular breaks for walks, play time and loving attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I am attentive and welcoming to the pets I board and treat them as if they were my own. I understand their need for loving attention and enjoy providing play time, walks and quiet time for them.

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.

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.
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.
