I have a small fenced yard with plenty of shade. My pup enjoys sunbathing and having spirited exchanges with our squirrel neighbors. Everyone is welcome on the bed and furniture :] I create a safe space for my animal friends by ensuring they have enough personal space, letting them set the pace of interaction, and making sure they feel confident and supported.

Informations que Catherine M. aimerait connaître au sujet de votre animal domestique

I do have a dog of my own, he is very sweet and patient and generally wins over every one he meets. He has experience working with dogs, cats, lizards, birds, and infants, toddlers, and teenagers. He is slowing down with age, but he still loves socializing and an occasional romp. I like to have an idea of your companion's normal daily schedule, favorite activities, favorite treats, and favorite places to go.

Une journée type

I love to go to trails where the dogs can be dogs! If the dog is up for it, I prefer to walk them off-leash and let them romp and play hard and get muddy. In my home, dogs are encouraged to join the cuddle puddle at night. We generally take a short walk early in the morning, a big walk midday, and a small walk again in the evening.

Stressless Staycations for Fido :]

Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie

My goal is to provide a stress-free stay-cation for your dog , giving you the peace of mind you need to have a stress-free vacation! When I think of dogs, I think of the lessons that I've learned from them over the years. Lessons in silliness, patience, exuberance, empathy, and unconditional love :] I do have a business partner, a 10 year old retired service dog named Kizmet. He comes with me virtually everywhere and is extremely patient and great with other dogs. He and I work together to make all of our guests feel welcome and safe while their families are away. I grew up with a puppy of my own and in high school, I boarded my friends' dogs. I began dog sitting in college. I am a dog walker and sitter to dogs of all shapes and sizes. I absolutely LOVE my job, and there is rarely a day when I am not excited for work! I am very patient, firm, and kind with everyone I meet, and this extends of course to my canine friends. I have experience walking many dogs at a time, especially off-leash. I always take a hike midday, as well as a couple shorter outings around the neighborhood in the morning and in the evening. I love the dog-friendly trails at the Bulb, Marina, Pt Isable and Tilden Park. I also love to take the dogs swimming when possible! I think its important that dogs get socialization time with other dogs, in addition to physical exercis and mental stimulation. My ultimate goal is to reduce as much anxiety as possible, in order to maximise fun. Kizmet is a black lab/pittie mix who loves smooches, snuggling, and swimming. He gets along with everyone. He also adores kids. As a dog owner myself, I am committed to providing your sweet furbabe with the care I would want Kizmet to have in my absense. In the future, I hope to found my own working dog training center. I know that my pup has helped me so much already, and I would love to provide similar deeply rewarding experiences to others in need.

My dog Archie had a blast with Catherine and Kizmet! Catherine was communicative, sent lots of photos and videos, and took such great care of Archie. I know he is looking forward to his next stay with them.

Catherine might just be the best dogsitter I've ever met! She was so incredibly warm and friendly, and provided plenty of updates while I was away. Larry seemed to be having the best time with Kizmet and other furry pals, too, and I'm so glad he had his own vacation! Will definitely rely on Catherine again.

Catherine was amazing. She cared for our 7-month-old puppy, Cricket, for a whole week while we were away, and we felt completely at ease and new that she was in great hands. From when we first met her, it was clear that Catherine is a real dog person -- warm attentive and genuinely excited to spend time with Cricket. It was obvious that she truly cared about her and enjoyed having her. Her dog, Kizmet was also a sweet role model for Cricket. Catherine sent the cutest photos and videos of Kizmet and Cricket cuddling and napping together, along with daily updates from the dog park and their adventures. She sent photos, videos, and little notes every day, which really put me at ease knowing how happy and well cared for Cricket was. The day we came back we arrived home at 8:30 at night and she tired Cricket out with lots of park visits so she would be tired when we got home. And she even gave Cricket a bath before pickup! We’re so grateful to have found Catherine. Nothing better than truly feeling at ease when traveling knowing that your dog is in such loving hands. Thank you, Catherine! You're the best. We'll definitely be in touch again the next time we're away.
