Availability

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.

Information Catherine M. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special medical needs or requires behavioral support, please let me know. If you are requesting boarding, please make sure to have updated records for Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, Bordetella (kennel cough). Sharing this information helps me make sure they stay safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care.

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.

Pet Care You Can Trust

Pet care experience

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.

Catherine was amazing with our boy Poe. She was easy to communicate with and sent lots of update pictures while we were away. Will definitely use Catherine again!

We could tell Catherine would be an amazing dog sitter right from the meet-and-greet. She is thorough, attentive, and genuinely cares about learning your pet’s quirks and habits to provide the best possible care. We received daily updates during our trip, and we’re pretty sure he was having a vacation too with all the playtime and cuddles!
