Surrogate Fur Babies Spoiled

I walk, play and love on your dog(s) as if they are my own. I currently watch dogs part-time at the moment in hopes of running my own Dog business one day. I lost Roxy, my Border Collie in July 2017, and haven’t had the heart to get another dog, so for now I have surrogate doggies in my life, that I watch part-time; mainly on the weekends, but can watch your fur babies during the week as well depending on my schedule. Most of my Clients were in California and I have five regular clients in Georgia now, since moving back in October of 2017. I can provide references upon request. I can administer medications to your dog and perform CPR if needed. I will treat and love on your dog as it were my own. I can also take your pup to the Vet, Groomer, Dog Park (if they play well with others), an up-charge will apply Dogs are always welcome on the furniture and in my bed, unless instructed not to let them up on furniture. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged family member and having you as a regular client.

House Sitting • Dec 29, 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a wonderful experience with Cathy while she stayed in our home with our dog. She arrived exactly when scheduled and immediately connected with our dog, earning her trust right away. It was clear our dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. She took excellent care of our home, brought in and neatly organized mail and packages, and stayed for the full time as agreed. Her communication was excellent, and the photos she sent were with amazing poses of our dog— easily the best pictures we’ve ever had of our dog. Reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an in-home sitter.

Cathy is an absolute legend! Our pups can be an absolute handful and trouble makers! Cathy is a natural dog whisperer and was great with answering all of my questions. When we came to pick them up you could instantly tell they had a great day. Looking forward to our next booking.

Cathy is experienced in the care of senior dogs and it certainly shows with my Dexter. She is kind and patient with him and sends me lots of pictures. This has allowed me to enjoy my vacation knowing that my baby is well cared for!

Cathy is clearly a dog lover. She already had bowls ready for my Dexter. He felt so at home! I have already booked her again.

A typical day

Your pup and I will go for walks around the neighborhood and explore the scents of nature and dogkind (lol). We will play tug of war, lots of pet rubs given and throw the ball in the house.

I like to learn what words your pets are familiar with… Sit, stay, walk, treat, pee pee, potty, etc. Are you using hand signals to train your dog? Does your dog like car rides? Are they allowed on the furniture? Do they have any allergies that I need to know about?
