I work from home part time but ant an hospital part time. Sometimes (rarely though) I go away for the weekend to go camping and site seeing. Your babies are welcome to come. They will hike and smell fresh air also. If traveling together, I like to give them a safety harness so they are secure and safe in the car. When I’m home it’s unrestricted access and with your babies. When I work I work from 9-4 in JAX. It it’s flexible and I’ll pay to have someone let your guys out if we need a mid-day walk. I pay for my girl to get a walk.

Information Catherine W. would like to know about your pet

Fixed, marking of space, how they get along with other dogs (size, age, breed), any training needs, any special needs. I’m not very comfortable with Doberman Pincers, chows, old cocker spaniels, stafforshire terriers (Spuds McKenzie dogs I believe), or Rottweilers. Pitt bulls on a case by case. I love huge dogs and tiny dogs and medium dogs. Cats are welcome. I have an outdoor catio, and outdoor warm house and they are welcome indoors. I am getting chickens but they are protected.

A typical day

Snuggles, walks, go to the beach, rest, repeat. Lots of toys, love, affirmation and structure. Chewy toys and chewy bones if you want. We are a very mellow household. No fighting, drinking, smoking, drama. Just so you know. Lol

I’m a medical professional and animal lover lover with a huge heart for dogs, farm animals, lizards, and more! I have extensive practical experience at a vet clinic, at ranches and my own pets. Let me love yours! Over 15 years experience with professional care, but 30+ with my own dogs. Majored in animal science in college with neuro-psych doctorate. I’ll bathe, clip nails, and brush. I have a large yard and safe places to walk.

Catherine was amazing to us! She went above and beyond to take care of our Chaka, and was extremely helpful to us as well, as we are visiting the area. Her home is charming, and conveniently located close to the town, and very easy to get to. 100% recommended!
