Pet care experience

I will love your pet like my own!

I’ve had the pleasure of taking personal care of numerous dogs over the last 30 years. The dogs I’ve personally cared for have been various sizes - from less than 30th lbs to over 80lbs. I’m comfortable in caring for all sizes. I love all dogs!! I have a huge fenced-in yard with both sun and shade. I have a 4 year old neutered male cattle dog mix (Thor) who is the love of my life. He loves all people and all animals. He would love to play in our yard with your dog(s). In the last year I was employed by a high-end doggy daycare and boarding business as a Pet Care Technician. In that capacity I watched over and cared for numerous dogs - both large and small. I cared for and loved each one as if they were my very own. I’d love to care for your furbaby as well!

Cathleen was absolutely wonderful with my two energetic fur babies. From the moment I showed up, I felt she knew what she was doing and would not have any problems taking care of them. Throughout the days they were there, she sent pics and videos showing they were having a good time and wore out at the end of the day. Highly recommend!

She was absolutely amazing with my dogs. She sent pictures periodically through the day and you could tell the dogs were having so much fun! I’ll definitely be using her again and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone else.

Our pup had a great experience with Cathleen! He LOVED playing with Thor and was also comfortable relaxing and catching some zzz’s. Cathleen made us feel comfortable when dropping him off, and provided several pictures throughout his time there.

Cathleen was more than we could have asked for. She took the time to meet us beforehand, to get to know us and our dog. She sent us pictures and updates throughout Sammy's visit. She met us at the drop-off and pick up to chat. We highly recommend her….

Cathleen is friendly and amazing . My big boy is a lovable sweet heart and he took an immediate liking to her. She is calm, and composed and can handle alpha dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced-in yard and a playful 2.5 year old cattle dog mix. Playtime, sunshine, and love await your furbaby. If your dog is older or more laid back, then laying in the yard sunbathing and plenty of snuggling time sounds wonderful as well.
