Experienced sitter working at home
Pet care experience
I have worked with foster dogs and animal shelters for 9 years (see some of them in the photos), and am now working from home full-time with plenty of time and energy for walks and runs, or park visits and snuggles. I have worked with all ages and sizes (including a month of caring for three puppies simultaneously), and have never met a dog I didn't fall at least a little bit in love with. I work well with dogs with anxiety disorders or other special circumstances as well. I am comfortable with any feeding, medication, or training regiments and special instructions that your dog needs to stay happy and healthy. I am happy to provide daily or overnight care at either my home or yours. Looking forward to meeting your dog!
Reviews
Cathlene was so great with my Abby and Buster. She was punctual, communicative and most importantly, caring to my fur babies. They were in very good hands!
Cathlene is absolutely the BEST, most reliable, caring, and trustworthy puppy sitter in the world!  She became fast friends with our hyper 12 week old Aussie Doodle and has been one of our pup’s favorite people ever since.  She treats her like her own, sends us frequent and fun updates, and responds so SO well to her accidents and high-energy needs.  She is basically a dream come true, and we couldn’t ask for a more responsible, patient, or sweet sitter.  Even though our puppy is now old enough for doggie daycare, she loves Cathlene so much that we continue to use her every chance we can.  Your pup couldn’t be in better hands than with her (and this is coming from super helicopter dog parents!).  She’s simply the best.
Cathlene was wonderful with our puppy. She took great care of her while house sitting and was very responsive to us both before and during the day. Definitely booking her services again.
Cathlene was absolutely amazing with our pup, Rook. We were traveling out of the country for three weeks (getting married!) and were so happy with her level of service - consistent communication, close attention to Rook, and plenty of pictures. We could not recommend anyone more highly than Cathlene.

I currently work remotely, so I am able to fit dogs into any part of my schedule that is necessary. I often take them with me on outings to run in the city parks, and can work from a clients house as well.
