I 'Pawsitively' Love Pets!

Pet care experience

As a newborn, Butchie the Budgie welcomed me into the world. Buttons the Beagle was my first birthday present! Growing up amongst a myriad of species enhanced my love of all creatures great and small. Dogs, cats, and horses are my interactive favorites. Having been blessed with 7 dogs and 5 cats over the years, I know how enriching life can be when shared with furry friends. I hope to enhance your and your pet's experiences by providing responsible and loving pet care.

Catherine was amazing with a Ripley, and made sure to send all kinds of photos. When I returned home, Ripley was in great spirits, and in great health. I was so happy with Catherine and her services, and I know Ripley has found another family member.

Safety, trust & environment

I am in a two bedroom condo, with an abundance of safe streets to walk your pet. Also, I have State Park annual membership, with close access to a lovely 2 mile loop at Birch State Park that allows dogs. I do not have any pets at this time, so do enjoy having gentle souls share the space with Mom (whose beloved Boston Terrier, Paco passed away last Thanksgiving), my husband and myself.

Information Catherine Z. would like to know about your pet

I welcome any insights, suggestions, and personality descriptions that will enhance our interaction. Preferred walking routes, areas to avoid and anything that would negatively impact the experience (anxiety causing etc.) would be important to share.

A typical day

Interaction is dictated by the animal's natural comfort level, needs, and inclination. I respect all energy levels, and am attentive to their physical parameters. Walking is a true favorite activity of mine, fast or slow, I enjoy it as much as the dogs do! I have a stroller available if your dog or cat needs a lift while outdoors. All sorts of play from fetch, chase, to hide and seek are stimulating fun. Hand signals and tricks can be a challenging activity also.
