Pet care experience

Safe, dependable loving care

I love all animals, even reptiles! When I was a teenager I worked at a kennel for a summer job and fell in love with every breed of dog. I’ve had dogs, cats, rabbits and small critters my entire life and even backyard chickens! My current pup is a senior boxer/Shepard mix. I am comfortable giving medication and caring for senior and special needs pets.

I completely trust Catherine to take the best care of Luna. Catherine spends time with her, brushes her, and tries to get her to play. (But Luna's a lump and is too lazy to play. 😁) I'll be hiring Catherine again when I go away. She's the best!

Catherine was absolutely amazing! Our dog is shy and sometime anxious around strangers but she ran to Catherine during the initial visit. She was very responsive and sent the best pictures and updates every time she dropped in for a visit. She even offered to bring in the mail and kept some of our plants alive. I would definitely recommend her! This was the best experience and I felt completely at ease.

Catherine S. was great! My usually shy cats came out to greet her. She was kind and attentive and fulfilled my needs. I highly recommend her.

Catherine was exactly what I was looking for while my family went on Vacation. She was quick to answer and very flexible when it comes to taking care of the animal and their needs. 5 stars will be using again.

This is Catherine’s third time taking care of my Dani. Catherine is the best. She gives me a tremendous amount of peace of mind while I’m away from my cat. She takes such good care of my cat. Each visit, Catherine engages Dani with treats, toys, catnip, and affection. She always leaves my apartment looking neat and orderly when I return home as well. I love the photos that she takes of Dani. I feel confident that my cat thoroughly enjoys Catherine’s company and care and looks forward to her daily drop-ins while I’m away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in backyard and crates if needed. My senior dog is chill and is great with dogs and cats if caring for you pet in my home. For short stays, pets usually do best in their own home with visits from me up to three times a day depending on their needs.

All dogs are amazing and I love all breeds. I have lots of experience with senior dogs. I will follow your instructions for care and give updates as often as you want. I need to know friendliness, energy level, feeding schedule, walking schedule.
