Dog Walking has been my main focus & energy. But I am also a freelance Graphic Designer that has flexibility to work with your pet’s routine! I have worked at private dog care & dog walking companies - I am now branching out on my own to create a personal & meaningful relationship with your pup! My availability is open from Morning to Evening walks. Please feel to reach out with what you are looking to book if you don’t see the option to! Extra peace of mind when walking with me - I automatically bring in any packages/deliveries to a secure spot and bring in garbage cans/bins if needed to help out! I also will check your pet’s water to make sure it is fresh and full before leaving each walk/visit. If you would like them to be fed kibble/greenie/treat, I am happy to!

About Catherine S.
Safety, trust & environment
For pet stays In my home, I have a fenced in yard with 6ft privacy fencing. The yard has both deck & grass with plenty of space for potty & play. Both my dogs are crate trained - with space to set up a crate if your pet is as well, they are fed am/pm with the ability to have your pup fed in a separate room with door. I live near a park with a large field to give them plenty of exercise & get their sniffs in if they prefer! For Walks with your pet, I like to set up a meet and greet/mini walk first, so they can get comfortable with my presence. I always have treats on me - to win them over from their bellies to their heart! (Don’t worry, I also carry treats for those with allergies if they have them!). I will ask about their personalities, quirks, or any specific needs for their walk. I want to make sure your pup is comfortable & enjoy their walk! From there, once comfortable with me, you’ll get a text updates how their day/walk has gone & photos of them! Having a photographic background, I love to take photos of your pets! You’ll think they got a mini photoshoot! I’m very detail oriented, if a notice anything it will be included in their update! I treat each dog I walk & watch as if they are my own. I enjoy learning each unique personality & character!
Information Catherine S. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable with any size, age or breed. I will work with all temperaments & have worked with helping dogs who are reactive on walks . I have used multiple styles of collars, harness, & leashes. If your dog has something specific to use just make sure to make me aware! Please let me know what needs or focus your dog will need, so I am aware to accommodate for!
A typical day
I have multiple dog puzzles in various levels of challenge, I have plenty toys based on your pups preference from stuffed, crinkle, balls, rubber & sound/interactive! Whether your dog is an introvert or extrovert - ones that like to enjoy being a homebody I will put on Dog tv or give them time out in the backyard to sit enjoy nature on our outdoor couch. Or if they are more adventurous we will take the manayunk tow path, trails or park! I also like to do creative crafts with your pup, like a summer camp/mini vacation for them - from making a paw print ornament or let them be their own Picasso with a painting they created to bring home! They will get a fun filled stay!

Pet care experience
I have been around animals all my life - I grew up with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, goats and horses. I was a private western horseback instructor for 12 years - and had the pleasure of taking care of not only horses, but also goats, sheep, llamas, chickens, & pigs. So whether they’re big or small, furry or feathered I am experienced with them all! Being able to care for a range of animals, it has given me the ability to be confident with all sizes, temperaments, ages, dispensing medications, and personalized care for your pet’s needs! I have two of my own dogs. One is a senior 14 yr old mini Dachshund & 2 year old Doberman. Having two dogs of vastly difference sizes, ages, breeds, & temperaments gives me the ability have a good insight of the needs each has & be mindful !
Reviews
Catherine is one of the most attentive and caring person you could ever trust with your pet. Having known her and seen her around animals for years, her experience is second to none. She intuitively understands what dogs need, handles every situation with calm confidence, and showers them with affection. She doesn't just walk dogs—she genuinely cares for them. Any pup would be lucky to spend the day with her!
Cathie exceeds all expectations and always goes above and beyond to provide the best possible care for every pet! She truly loves all animals and it definitely shows!
