Highlights
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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Catherine was like a second mom to our dog Olive. Caring, responsive and sent the best photos during Olive’s 6 night stay. I would book again with her any day!
We were very pleased with Catherine’s care for our dog Ruby. She was an unknown (besides reading reviews) when we booked her for a week and we were delighted that she sent photos and videos of Ruby’s interactions with the other dogs in her care. Communication is obviously one of Catherine’s strong points. We booked again right away!
Catherine was amazing! She was able to accommodate a very short-notice request for daycare for our toy poodle puppy. He had a fabulous time! We can't thank her enough and are already looking forward to future play dates.
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!

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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.

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.
