Pet care experience

Welcome to our dog loving family! We had two female Yorkshire Terriers, Cinnamon and Spice (but we lost Cinnamon in 2018 and lost our Spice in 2021) We know how hard it is leaving your pups behind, so that's why we are here to show them the love and the affection they need while you are away. Your dog can play in our totally fenced in backyard or just hang with us on the couch. We have a great neighborhood to take nice long walks so that they can get the exercise that they need. We will also provide multiple updates while you're away, so you can rest assure your dog is safe and happy. We have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors and would love the opportunity to get to know your precious pup!

Cathy is absolutely amazing. Whenever we go on a long trip Cathy is always the first choice! Every update she sends i can tell my boy is happy and having a blast! She’s so sweet and genuinely so caring. 10/10 would recommend Cathy to watch your furry baby.

Cathy is wonderful! She took such good care of my very shy girl. I will be using Cathy from now on, I highly recommend her.

We had a great experience with Cathy as our pet sitter for Brody. She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She took the time to follow all instructions carefully and kept us updated, which really gave us peace of mind. Brody was clearly comfortable with her, and it showed when we returned. It’s not easy to leave a pet with someone else, but Cathy made the whole process stress-free. We really appreciated her care and would definitely book her again.
