It’s important to me that your pets keep the same schedule they normally have. If your pet sleeps with you then I am happy to have them sleep with me. I love to take them out for walks!! When sitting my priority is your pet. I stay 24/7 in your home with your pet. If I leave it would be for a meet and greet with a new client that cannot wait till the sit is finished or maybe some quick errand.

Information Cathryn B. would like to know about your pet

My goal is for your pet/pets to have a fabulous time while you are away and for you to have zero worries about your pets and your home.

A typical day

Let me now what your pets enjoy and that is what we will do. Since I will be staying at your house feel free to tell me about dog parks or walking trails etc.

Pet care experience

Started pet/house sitting 10 years ago for my best friend. She and I have been friends for 40 plus years and she asked would I be interested in pet/ house sitting for her. I did it and had so much fun! She had at that time 1 cat and 2 dogs. She commented that she couldn’t even tell I had been there as her home was clean and tidy when she and her husband returned. Which was not the case with other people she had sit prior. My son has 2 dogs, a Husky and a rescue. The Husky is 15 years old, so very gentle with her and spoil her a little. She loves to go outside but since my son no longer has a fenced in backyard the dogs have to be on a leash. I tend to take them out a lot just to spend time outside. I apologize for the pics not having me in them. I do send pics of the pets to their owners while I’m sitting but generally don’t include myself. I will work on that! I’m not a social media fan, so generally don’t do lots of pics of myself.

Best sitter! We love how much time she spends at our home with our dogs. It’s hard trusting someone to watch your dogs but we have no issues with Cathryn and really appreciate her!!

Cathryn house sat and watched are two pooches for 10 nights, including over 4th of July weekend. She texted daily updates and pictures and both dogs and house were well taken care of upon our return. Highly recommended!

Cathryn watched my dog Gracie for 12 days. She was amazing with her and sent me pictures and an update daily. She even had a little birthday party for her since I could not be there with her. I would highly recommend her and will not hesitate using her in the future.

I believe things went well overall. I would have liked more updates on how my dog was doing throughout the day knowing how anxious he is. I did get updates each morning but not much after that unless I asked. And no update on the last morning before she left. I had to ask for an update after my plane landed 3 hours after she left. I expressed during our meet and greet that this was only the second time leaving my dog and that he would be anxious and so would I, so I requested regular updates on how he was doing. And requested that again a few days before I left and again on the morning I left. More updates would have definitely helped ease my mind while I was away.
