Pet care experience

Pet Care You Can Trust

I've cared for over 15 different dog breeds since I was 10 years old, from high energy hunting dogs to cozy lap snugglers. Friends and family have trusted me with their beloved pets for years. With 8 years in animal welfare, I understand behavior and emotions, including noise fears, nervousness with new people, leash reactivity, shy/timid, resource guarding, seniors, puppies, and special needs pets. I also care for cats of all personalities independent explorers, playful toy lovers, and devoted snugglers. My goal is to give your pet a safe, loving, stress free home where they feel truly cared for while you're away.

House Sitting • Aug 03, 2026

Catherine is beyond a dream. Knowledgeable about dogs, deeply caring, and knows how to make a potentially stressful situation for a pet, one they will actually enjoy. My son’s wedding out of town required two nights of house and dog sitting. We had the cutest pictures of him clearly loving his time with her and snuggled up just as he would with us. She also treated our home with great care. 10/10. Would request her again in a second!

I can’t recommend Catherine enough! She stayed extremely communicative the entire time, making me feel so safe and comfortable leaving my pup with her!

Cait watched our young dog for 12 days, and we could not have asked for a better sitter for him! Excellent communication and updates throughout our trip helped us to relax, knowing he was being well taken care of. He got walks, enrichment toys, playtime with her other Rover dogs and lots of attention. When he had a couple of unexpected moments of destructive chewing, Cait implemented appropriate changes to his care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cait to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Catherine is amazing! She was super responsive & flexible with a last minute change in schedule, administered antibiotics while we were away, and we feel totally comfortable leaving our pup in her care.

Schedule

Each dog in my care receives personalized attention and love. For daycare and boarding, I limit to two dogs at a time to ensure quality care while they are in a new environment. When house sitting in your home, I can happily care for up to four dogs, keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home. I’m happy to provide photo updates, and our home is fully prepared for play, rest, and supervision.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m home during the day, which allows me to provide pets with consistent attention, companionship, and enrichment. Every pet in my care enjoys a healthy balance of play, mental stimulation, walks, and quiet time to rest and recharge. Evenings are cozy and relaxed, filled with gentle supervision and snuggles, so pets feel safe, happy, and loved from morning to night.

Pets

A typical day

Our mornings start with plenty of outdoor time, weather permitting, right after breakfast around 7:20 a.m. After playtime outside, we enjoy brain games, interactive toys, tag, or some independent play for mental stimulation. In the afternoons, the dogs usually relax and nap in sunny spots around the house. We also take walks, enjoy dinner, spend more time outdoors, and end the day with cozy evening snuggles.
