Experienced Dog Walker

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience with dogs, my background ranges from growing up with large breed dogs, helping tend to 35+ sled dogs at a time, assisting in dog training classes, raising Doobie to be the best of boys and I even got to train a therapy dog for a special education class for my senior project years ago. My life has involved dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’m happy to be adding more experience through people like you! Who may need some reliable help for vacations, or simply just because of your busy schedule and wanting to improve your pups quality of life. This week of 8-1 through 8-5, I have the entire week off to help out with whatever needs you have. After that I will go back to a 40 hour a week job but plan to make the time for your furry friend. I take great pride in my care for my own animals and others. I have a passion for being around such amazing creatures and can insure I am capable of whatever comes my way when caring for them.

Catherine is by far the best caretaker for your pets while your away or at work. She goes above and beyond for your animals and she treats them as if they are hers. She is very attentive and very respectful. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a sitter or just to stop in and let them out. Thank you again so much you are the best!!!

Catherine was great! Super sensitive to our little old lady dog and asked a lot of questions to get to know her. Very pleased.

Catherine is amazing with all pets! I have a full house of four dogs, ranging in sizes. She walks them, and makes sure to update me on their potty schedules (and sends pictures). She feeds them properly and follows my instructions. I would recommend her to anyone! She understands that animals have special needs, and special attention due to certain behavior. I couldn’t be happier with her!

Information Catherine R. would like to know about your pet

Please be sure to let me know of any special needs or triggers your dog may have. I am very open to working with all types of pups but I need to know how to handle them correctly if they need some extra attention. I have worked with reactive dogs in the past so I understand that need for attention to not only the dog but his/her surrounding.

A typical day

I love to stimulate whatever dogs I’m with both mentally and physically, as both are important for a well rounded dog. Typically time with me would be spent walking / enjoying all the smells the neighborhood has to offer, stops at the park to play and some training to hopefully leave the dog I’m with some new tricks.
