Highlights
Pet care experience
FUN! safe and reliable
I am a full-time student and work part-time. My joy is taking your pups on a walk and to play! I love studying dog behaviors and am knowledgeable on reading dog body language. I will do my best to make sure your dog is relaxed and having a good time. I always had a dog growing up and I love to give ear scratches and butt pats. I am a very responsible person and even used this app when my own dog was a puppy. It was such a lifesaver! My family dog had diabetes so I know how to administer shots, and am very caring and patient when it comes to older dogs too. I would like to go on walks with your dog, and play fetch, tug-of-war, or just chase them around, and play find-it with treats. I look forward to hearing from you!

I live on a quiet street with a fenced in backyard and spacious deck. I will prioritize your dog’s happiness when caring for your pet. I have a dog so my house is already pet-proof.
Ratings and reviews
Catherine has made traveling stress free for our family, and we’re so grateful we found her! We first booked her last minute over Memorial Day, and she was incredibly accommodating, calm, and thoughtful with both us and our 9 year old Border Collie/Lab, Raine, who gets a serious case of the blues and anxiety when we leave. Catherine met Raine exactly where she was, and by day 3 she was all tail wags when Catherine showed up. Her detailed updates gave us peace of mind, and we knew right away we’d book with her again. On our most recent trip, Raine was excited to see her from the start, which says everything about how caring and fun Catherine is. She also handled an unexpected encounter with an unruly dog during a walk with good judgment and care, making sure Raine and everyone involved stayed safe. That kind of attentiveness means so much when you're trusting someone with your pup. I feel completely comfortable leaving Raine in her hands, and I’d recommend Catherine in a heartbeat. We already have future trips planned and will absolutely be booking with her again!
Catherine V. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Catherine made my first experience with this service a great one! I was so nervous and she made me feel at ease. My dog can be highly anxious but did well with Catherine. Also, this booking was last minute so Catherine was truly a life saver. I would definitely recommend and use her services again!
Catherine is so kind and thoughtful when it comes to taking care of our pups. She cares for them like they’re her own. She’s a gem!
Catherine was great! Everything was in good shape when I got back and my shy cats actually came out to see her when she came by!
JoJo had such a great time!

I’m currently working during the day and have availability in the early mornings, afternoons, and weekends. I am a realistic person so if I don’t think I can give your pet the attention they deserve, I won’t accept the offer.
