Retired - flexible scheduling!
Pet care experience
I am retired, so I have lots of time to spend with my dog and yours! We also understand that you may still be working. Do you have a long day trip planned or need some time away? We'd love to help with your busy schedule by allowing flexible drop-offs and late pickups. I have had dogs since I was a kid - everything from German Shepherds to my current Lhasa Apso, who would love to have your small dog as a playmate for the day or the week! My Lhasa and I are very active and like to get out every day (weather permitting) for a hike, a visit to a dog park, or a walk in a park or around the neighborhood. Our typical neighborhood walks are an hour; our typical hikes are 1-2 hours. We would love to have your active dog join us for some fun! If your dog would rather stay home and nap, that's ok too. Note: for the safety of all the dogs, we will only take 2 other dogs at a time. If it is important that your dog be the only dog (in addition to my own) please let us know and we may be able to accommodate that. My house is well-equipped for small dogs. We are not able to take in large dogs. During your dog's stay, we will have a fun and active routine. We will have breakfast and play time around the house in the morning. We like to get out for a walk in the neighborhood, a park or a trail each day. Then we all hang out in the evenings, before cozying up in the bedroom for a good night's rest. I treat my dog like she's my best little friend, and we will treat your dog like our new best friend!
Reviews
This was our second time hiring Catherine and we absolutely would do it again, she is so good with our puppy and keeps us well updated on daily activities.
Catherine was so patient and kind with our puppy. She kept us plenty posted of their outings and daily activities. I felt very comfortable leaving our girl with Catherine and would not hesitate to use her again. Her dog is also so sweet and made our dog feel right at home. I highly recommend Catherine for anyone needing someone to watch their dog.
As usual, Catherine and her fur baby Farrah welcome mine each stay with open arms. I can tell Yubby truly loves their time together by the pictures Catherine sends me daily!!!
Catherine and Farrah were so accommodating and welcoming to Maggie. Maggie loved her stay, felt right at home and will be back if they will have her.

We are a very active household! We love to get out on walks (weather permitting) in the parks, take hikes on the trails and visit local dog parks. Our typical neighborhood walk is 1-3 miles. Our hikes are regularly 2-5 miles and can be as long as 6 or occasionally even 8 miles. We'd love to have your active dog join us to work off some energy while you're away!
