Looking to Care for Senior Dogs

Pet care experience

I am a mature, responsible animal lover, highly qualified to care for your K9 senior citizen, with 10+ years of senior dog care experience. I have been operating an animal welfare non-profit specializing in seniors in the Fresno area for 10 years. I have a lot of experience in giving oral and eye medications, various feeding schedules, special diets, transporting animals to the vet, and special needs dogs like blind and/or deaf. Plus dogs just love me! I am an excellent communicator and am able to follow your instructions to a "T". I will care for your senior furbaby in my home like they were my own. I am happy to sit down with you in your home to discuss your specific pet care needs in the Fresno & Clovis areas and meet your fur kid(s). I am home all day on the weekends (Fri-Sun) and offer boarding in my country home setting . You can count on me to care for your senior dog!

Cathleen is very devoted to animals, and their health and well being. She always takes the utmost precautions on their safety and has had a lot of experience with handling doing animal rescue. She also promotes healthy foods for our furry companions including cooking/preparing special diets.

Cathleen has such a caring and compassionate heart and is so knowledgeable in all things dogs. She will treat your pets with the same love and care that she does her own and that will make your furbaby a very lucky pet!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, I have 1 senior dog of my own and 2 senior foster dogs, all of whom are dog friendly and low energy. I have a nice porch and deck with pet beds and pet cots and inside have pet beds in every room. Also have an nice exercise pen set up in the kitchen area if you so choose. I have a very calm, low key, relaxed home environment

Information Cathleen G. would like to know about your pet

I am available for weekend petting sitting/boarding in my home (Fri-Sun), and on most holidays. I only accept dogs 7 and older who are 15 lbs or less. While I certainly have no problem cleaning up accidents your dog should be potty trained with no incontinence issues. Two senior dogs per family maximum. I am willing to pet sitting for multiple pets in a household.

A typical day

I will feed your dog, make sure they have clean, fresh water, give any oral medications or supplements, and make sure they receive some love and human interaction while you are away. I have no problem in cleaning up "accidents" and am able to transport your dog in a crate to your vet should they need vet care. Your pet(s) will be in good hands with me. Can send text updates throughout the day while you are away.
