Availability

I currently work full-time remotely from home so my schedule is very flexible! At home, pets go out several times a day - if dropping by your place for a checkin, let me know a few days in advance when you need me to be there and I'll make sure to clear my schedule for that time.

Safety, trust & environment

My townhouse does not have a fenced in yard, so any outdoors time happens on leash. I'm close to Green Lake for long walks or the dog park. In my house, the pets have free range of the house - since I'm almost always home, I always have an eye on them.

Pug mom to the stars

Pet care experience

I've been a dog & cat mom my entire life, and I've never met an animal I didn't immediately love. I have a pug and a cat, but I love dogs and cats of all shapes/sizes/ages/shedding capacity/etc. Fun fact: I saved one of my pugs during a heat stroke, so I can think on my feet in a high pressure situation. I've had multiple pups live to 15-16 years old, so I also know my way around a senior pup. As an avid runner and hiker, I will happily exercise your best friend as much as he/she needs. I am the one my friends turn to when they need a pet sitter; not only do their pups have a blast, I am super attentive and always provide updates and status texts so they don't have to worry.

It is always difficult for me to find someone to watch my dog bc she is elderly and has some health issues. Cathleen was amazing and made me feel completely at ease with frequent status updates with photos. Will definitely book with her again if I need someone to watch my girl!

Cathleen is amazing. This was Louis first stay with her and he had loads of fun with her and her fur babies. She noted all of his/our special requests and sent lots of updates. We’re so grateful for the way she took care of our pup as if he was her own. We will absolutely have her take care of Louis again!

Cathleen once again worked her magic on my motley crew. My old man has a lot of anxiety when I’m away, but it all melts away when Cathleen visits him. She is the pug whisper. She even knows how to manage my attention hog so everyone gets some love. She always go above and beyond, even helping out with little things like changing the bag in my litter box so I’m not coming home to any smells.

Cathleen continues to be the most delightful dog sitter. Her pics are always the best and she truly connects with the pups, and they’re always relaxed when I get home
