Pet care experience

Animal lover & biologist

Hi, my name is Cat and I am a wildlife biologist who works with animals that is looking for some part time work looking after your pets! I live with my puppy, a border collie named Gulo, who is learning the ways of being a dog! I grew up with a variety of animals in my home including cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, ect. My parents were big fans of having lots of animals where I grew up in Georgia. When I was younger, I wanted to be a vet, but as I grew up I started to love wild animals which led me to my career in wildlife biology and animal photography. I have pretty much always had my own cats and dogs in life. I would love to give some time and love to yours! I will probably send you lots of pictures of your pet having fun if you decide to book with me.

Doggy Day Care • set 16, 2025

We needed someone to watch our dog while we explored and hiked the grand Tetons. Cat was super flexible with drop off and pick up. Both our dogs had similar energy levels/play styles so it was perfect.

Catherine was super easy to work with. We booked a last minute walk with her - she was super responsive and took such good care of our pup! Highly recommend booking with Catherine!

Schedule

This is my current work schedule: Winter (Nov-Mar): Pretty open and flexible! Mostly I work from home. I have a lot of time to care for your pet. Summer (April-October): I work full time during the day, often remote field work, but it can vary, so talk to me about what would work. I'll try to set my calendar availability when I can know in advance. I usually have a pretty flexible schedule that would allow me to spend as much time as you need with your pet. I'm happy to just give them a short walk, or I could come by and play with them for a longer period of time, I could do multiple house visits or an overnight stay.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a secure house, my yard is not fenced but I am diligent on leashing. I would prefer leash trained dogs boarding for that reason, but if they're older/slower and good on recall I'm open to talking about it. I'm happy to abide by specific preferences of care in your own home. I would prefer a dog that is crate trained (or they should be low energy/non destructive) in my house for safety reasons, but open to your rules at your place!

Pets

A typical day

I'm happy to hang out with your pet dependant on their needs. I could come to feed and care for an elderly pet or a cat in a low key setting, or take your pup on a run around the neighborhood!

In your message, for boarding dogs at my house please include some details about them! Are they good with other animals? I will likely ask about their personality, their schedule, and if they're house trained. Let me know if your pet has special needs ahead of time and I will see what I can accommodate. I have experience with elderly and some special needs pets.
