Home away from home

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Cathy. I have been house sitting and dog sitting for 12+ years. I have house sat farms to apartments and everything in between. I love all animals. I understand the need to make the separation of owner and pet as minimal as possible. Making a comfortable home away from home is a must. If I can make your vacation easier for you knowing that your pet is very well taken care of then I am doing my job. I am a full time teacher who is looking to make some extra cash doing what I love best...hanging out with pets. I have always owned dogs and currently have a small dog named Gracie. She loves all dogs and wants to be friends with everyone. I enjoy and care about pets and their well being and also making sure that they have a good time even if their "people" are gone. I have a dog so any other dog just fits right into the routine that is already set up. We go outside in the morning than eat. In the evenings, we take walks depending on the weather. Dinner than cuddle time before bed. I live in a house and can host animals from two different households. They are always kept separate. When two different pets are in the home I alternate who is in the spare room and who is in the main house. Everyone always gets play time outside. If you would prefer that I only house your pet than please let me know and I can make sure to not take any other pets during your pet's stay.

My dog has been boarding with Cathy multiple times. Jimbu adores Cathy and is always excited to visit her. He starts jumping and wagging his tail the moment I enter her neighborhood. I cannot thank Cathy enough.

Information Cathy A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, behaviors or quirks. All dogs are different and I treat them based on who they are. I will always ask for a general schedule for the dog to try to keep it the same.

A typical day

I go on a evening walk in Bear Creek most nights. This is about 2 miles and gets dogs brains stimulated through smelling. They also get the exercise. I have several routes and can take longer or shorter depending on the dog.
