Pet care experience
Fenced-in yard, a family to love 💕
My family includes myself, my husband, our three human kids and our two sheltie kids. We are familiar with the uncertainty of what to do with your pets when you leave town and enjoy offering our home for pet sitting. Why leave them somewhere to sit in a kennel when they can have a staycation in a home environment?! We are happy to help people find peace of mind knowing that their fur kids are getting as much love and attention as they would at home. We only take one pup (or pups from one family) at a time and we treat them like they’re our own. We are comfortable with puppies and senior dogs alike and can handle most special circumstances. The occasional "accident" does not bother us. We are happy to handle any special diets, including raw or homemade. We are comfortable administering medications. If dogs are normally crated at home for bedtime, potty training or when left alone, we can do that here as long as you bring one. We have a fenced in backyard for dogs to run around and enjoy; We also have lots of toys inside, and enjoy taking daily walks. We love dogs and will treat your furry family members as one of ours.

Ratings and reviews
The sweetest, most dog-loving family- you would be very fortunate to have them watch your dog. A fun and caring household! My dog did not want to leave!
Catherine is great. This is the third time we had left Murphy with her and her family. She loves spending time with them and we are so comfortable leaving her with such a loving household!
Great family. Rossi had a wonderful time.They kept him busy and he enjoyed the young family and their two small dogs. He is probably bored with us now and knows what he’s missing. They have a big safe fenced in backyard and their street dead ends so not much traffic. I certainly would use them again.
Catherine is the best! She treats our dog like her own and we receive pictures and updates everyday. I am so glad we discovered her and now we have no worries leaving our pet for a week or more while we are out of town!
Catherine and her lovely family took wonderful care of my dog, providing love, cuddles, walks and fun. Their wonderful care allowed me to relax on my trip and not worry. Daily pictures and videos were sent. I highly recommend Catherine and look forward to boarding my dog with her on all future trips.
I had a last min trip coming up and had to find a sitter who offers boarding. To me, the location and also the house setting where my dog will be staying were very important. I found Catherine who lives 2 miles away from me. Met her and the entire family the next day for meet and greet and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Catherine was kind, reliable, and super attentive. She sent regular updates and cute photos, which made me feel totally at ease while I was away. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. I’ll definitely be booking with Catherine again! Thank you.

Schedule
Either myself or my husband is working from home during the week, however it is possible that there will be times when your pup will be left in our home alone with our own two dogs while we run errands or drive our human kids to their activities, just like if they were at your home. We like morning and/or evening walks and lots of playtime in between.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and two fur-babies of my own to keep your pup company. Our children love playing with our four-legged house guests and really love the extra cuddles on the couch for a movie in the evening. We like to incorporate our guests into our daily routine. We can separate pups if absolutely necessary (especially at mealtimes if there are any food aggressions or allergies), but hopefully we are able to determine that there will not be any behavior issues with the pups getting along during a meet and greet prior to a booking. After your dog has spent a busy day walking, running around the yard, playing with the kids and getting lots of cuddles, they can curl up in our bedroom (or with one of the kids if they prefer) and feel safe in an environment that has become familiar. I encourage you to bring their own bedding for something that smells like home, this can help keep them calm and feel secure, especially during that first night.

A typical day
We have a nice neighborhood that lends itself well to walks. We have a nice big backyard for outside playtime and lots of toys inside.
