Safety, trust & environment

With over 16 years of experience safety is always my number 1 concern. That relies on communication from you. I like to know everything about your pup. Will they try to back out of a harness? Do they run away? Do they scare easily? And communication about what is important to you. Did your dog tell time? Do I need to be there at 1 or is between 1 and 2 ok? Do they get fed during the visit? The more info the better!

Information Catherine R. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs and all temperaments. I have worked in pet care for over 16 years. There is nothing I haven’t dealt with. Please be confident that you can be upfront without judgment

A typical day

We will go on walks around the neighborhood, to the park. What ever your comfort level is with regard to your dogs individual needs. I love taking pictures Anf taking the scenic route

Pet care experience

I have owned a dog walking company in LA for over 16 years. I closed it in 2020 when I had my son and could no longer travel to LA every month. I am looking forward to walking in dogs in my home town. I studied animal behavior and trained everything from house cats to big cats for film and television. I am certified in Pet first aid and CPR. I love being outdoors and have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own.. I work from home so I have all the time in the world.In my free time a volunteer at PAWS and foster through One Tail at a Time

Catherine is so sweet to our girls, her "secret weapon" is her young son who is great at wearing them out. We are already planning to use her again.
