Pet care experience
Planing a weekend get away or a fabulous vacation, but not sure who can take care of your beloved dog. No need to worry, I have owned and cared for dogs for over 25 years. I'm now retired, have a large home with a securely fenced yard. Your dog will part of the family while your away and have access to the outdoors, but will sleep in the house wherever he or she chooses. I own 3 very friendly and sociable dogs who make great playmates and doggie hosts. We take daily walks and make sure we have play time everyday. I belong to several dog clubs, of which I've been on the board of directors, I show my dogs in AKC events, as well as being a purebred rescue volunteer. I do require a meet & greet at my home prior to having new dogs stay with us. I'd be happy to provide references if needed. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover all my life ....I was raised in a home that had 3-4 dogs most of the time, my father bred and showed English bulldogs. As an adult I have been involved in purebred dog for over 30 years, raising, training and caring for them, primarily Labs, Bernese Mt Dogs & Cavaliers. I've shown my dogs in performance events as well as the confirmation show ring. I've been involved in Bernese Mt. Dog Rescue for 6 years, fostering, answering phone, transporting and placement of dogs. I served as a board member for 5 years on the No. Ca Bernese Mt. Dog Club. I am also the Regional Show Chair for our club as well. Meet my pets I'm owned by a beautiful sweet 4 yr old Bernese Mt Dog and two rescued Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. My dogs are friendly, sweet, sociable and are the perfect doggie hosts. About my yard I have a large fenced yard with several decks for outdoor use.
Reviews
Cara was amazing on all fronts from beginning to end. She communicated clearly through the app when I first reached out to her, we (Bernard and I) liked her immediately when we met, and she was super flexible and accommodating with the pick up and drop off. She sent photos and videos - Bernard was super happy and comfortable with her pups, and they got out for walks very frequently! I hope Bernard can stay with Cara and her family again!
Cathi was fantastic with our 2-year-old Aussie. It’s hard to find pet sitting in a travel destination and feel confident that your dog will have a great experience. Cathi’s experience and professionalism were very reassuring and our pup was in good hands while we vacationed in Tahoe.
Cathi was great, she made our pup feel right at home! She asked good questions and was quick to respond to ours. We had a great experience, highly recommend !
Yuki enjoyed her stay with Cathi and her dogs!
