Pet care experience
Home Full-Time for Constant Care 🩷
Hi! I'm a passionate dog lover with over 4 years of hands on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and personalities. I treat every pet like they're my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I specialize in caring for small and medium sized dogs (up to 25 lbs.) and understand that every pup has their own unique personality and needs. Whether they're playful and energetic or enjoy a quiet day of cuddles and naps, I'm committed to providing dependable, patient, and loving care. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and capable hands.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I highly recommend Catherine as a pet care provider! She has been taking care of my senior dog for the past 4 years, whenever I travel, and I completely trust her with my pup. Senior dogs need extra patience, consistency, and gentle care, and she has always gone above and beyond to make sure my dog is comfortable, safe, and well looked after. She follows my dog's routine closely, gives plenty of love and attention, and always keeps me updated, which gives me great peace of mind while I'm away. Knowing my dog is in such caring and responsible hands has made traveling so much less stressful. I truly appreciate the love and dedication she puts into caring for my dog, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitter.
I highly recommend anyone to pick Catherine as their pet care provider! She's caring, responsible and treated my dog as her own. It gave me a peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in good hands especially because she was so attentive. And to top it off, she kept my fur baby busy with long walks, lots of playtime and love.

Schedule
I work from home, which allows me to keep a close eye on your pup throughout the day and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I'm experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and following each dog's usual schedule to help them feel relaxed and at home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our building is secure and quiet, perfect for dogs who prefer a calm environment without the stress of a busy household. We live in a cozy apartment just a quick 10 mins. drive from YVR Airport, making drop-offs and pick-ups incredibly convenient for travelers! I am home full time and dedicate my days to providing structured, attentive care for small and medium sized dogs. Your pup will have a wonderful, friendly companion in my gentle 2 years old Shichon! With several beautiful parks nearby, I take the dogs on at least three walks a day, a refreshing morning stroll and an afternoon walk (each lasting 25+ minutes), plus a short 10 mins. bedtime stretch, alongside plenty of potty breaks as needed. Between walks, your pup will enjoy playtime, mental enrichment, cozy cuddles, and 100% supervised care. I always follow your dog's regular routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home!

A typical day
I love keeping dogs active, engaged, and happy! At home, I have a few interactive brain toys and enrichment puzzles that help provide mental stimulation, and your pup is welcome to enjoy them alongside my dog, Summer. We go on three walks a day.. a morning and afternoon walk that each last at least 25 minutes or so, plus a shorter 10 mins. walk before bedtime. I like to switch up our routes so we're not walking in the same area every time, giving the dogs new sights, smells, and places to explore. On nice days, we may visit a nearby beach, explore a dog-friendly mini trail, or check out different parks around the neighborhood. Between walks, there will be plenty of supervised playtime, cuddle breaks, and downtime so your pup stays happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day.
