Our Huck spent a week with Cathleen, came home tired and happy. We were really grateful how responsive Cathleen was while we were away, missing our pup. I'm very grateful for her love and care.

Cathleen goes out of her way to be available to help us with our dog. We decided to go to Seattle the nexf morning last minute on a Friday evening and texted her and she was more than happy to have our dog over the next morning! She’s so wonderful. She makes taking care of our dog so easy.

The best of the best! Truly. Cathleen helped board my sister’s two dogs during a family emergency and could not have been more kind, accommodating, and sweet. She went out of her way to help. She takes care of all the pups like they were her own, including having appropriate rules for the pups. I loved the daily pics and videos. I don’t know what I would have done without Cathleen. I’m forever grateful.
