All about the pets, big and small!

Pet care experience

I have raised animals my entire life. I typically have two dogs and two cats at the same time, as well as birds, fish, reptiles and more. I adopted a stray dog in 2017, and I have spent a lot of time getting him comfortable with living in a home. This involves correcting existing anxieties that he has and some very rigorous training. Working with him in this way has lead to a significant amount of research into canine behavior. I also have experience volunteering at a feline shelter, and am happy to check on your cat as well! I owned an independent pet supply store in New York, Fauna Pet Supply. Owning the store and meeting new pets everyday led to an increase in my knowledge on how to best care for pets big and small.

Catherine came to our house and transported Zoey to her home for a "Play Date." My husband and I were so pleased to find someone in our area willing to hang out with our Zoey dog! Catherine exceeded not only our expectation, but Zoey seemed to enjoy her company as well. I would definitely use her service in the future. Thank you!!!!

Catherine has been amazing - She is great with my over-enthusiastic 65 pound rescue and she is very reliable. I count on her and she's great!

Catherine has sat for me for many different animals and I have been very pleased with her work. The animals received attention and care very similar to what they would have had if I was home, which is very important to me. The animals respond well to Catherine's presence and Catherine was able to easily follow the directions given as well coming up with good ideas if something could not be followed. I would highly recommend her for any pet care needs!

Safety, trust & environment

I don't bring clients pets to my home unless I've known them and their animals for a long while - for the protection of my own pets. I am happy to play, take walks, work on training, do some light grooming or cleaning, or simply stop in for a potty break.

Information Catherine S. would like to know about your pet

I need to know any extra information such as medications or fears your dog may have. Please bring a harness, any special toys, and treats if you have a preference to bring your own. If not, I have little treats. If you want me to work on any tricks, I'm happy to do that. If you give me a list of known tricks I can help keep them sharp. If they are clicker trained, please leave me with your clicker during their stay.

A typical day

I like to add variety to my visits since physical and mental stimulation make for happy pets - especially working on reinforcing old skills and tricks. I can do fetch or take walks and try to meet the needs of the specific animal instead of a one size fits all visit.
