Safety, trust & environment

I treat each pet as if they were my own flesh and blood child. My yard is not fenced in, but we do have a small, mulched backyard patio for them to potty and suntan (on a longline) as they desire. Animals and humans thrive when they have a solid routine, so that is what I integrate into my pet care. I am personally okay with having pets on my bed and furniture.

Information Catherine S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if they're friendly towards other dogs, and can get along well with them. How is their disposition towards men, women, and children? What is their general personality like?

A typical day

I live near many open parks, lakes, ponds, and dog parks. If they don't mind swimming, I could take them to a lake so they could be a swamp dog. And if their owner doesn't mind, I'm okay with bathing them afterwards. Aside from outside play, I also have many mentally stimulating toys and puzzles for them to do.

Dog hair is the new fashion trend

Pet care experience

I have always felt incredibly blessed to be able to share our Earth with animals, especially dogs and cats. My name is Cat (I know, ironic), and I am a 25 year old barista at a local coffee shop. I am on a mission to extend the love and compassion I have for my community further out to the furry friends within it, too. After work, I am home most of the day with my own animals, and I live near many parks, and dog parks. I raised a litter of 12 adorable puppies all on my own, and have grown up with dogs and cats always in my house. I am able to command dogs as needed, and I'm not afraid to use my stern parenting voice either. Pet sitting isn't a chore, it's a fun opportunity.

Five paws all around. Toby had an absolute blast staying with Cat and her family! He was well taken care of and enjoyed having some canine company! Well priced, clean house. Close to parks and trails. Toby and I look forward to seeing you again soon!

So happy I found Catherine to take care of my pup while I was out of town! She spent lots of time with him and really made me feel at ease about leaving him for a week. She definitely paid attention to my dogs personality/character and took that into account while she cared for him. I’ll be calling her again if I need a sitter!

I know my dog was well taken care of and had a great time when he stayed with Catherine! Catherine was also very flexible and sent pictures with frequent updates.
