LOVE THE FURBABIES

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs my whole life. They are everything. I have 2 mini dachshunds and they hold my heart. I feel all dogs are special and need the love and attention you'd give a baby or child. I am known to stop in the middle of the road to convince strays they need to get in my car, and they usually do, if I can't find the owner I then take them to a non kill shelter to be cared for and follow up on every one. I feed my babies only the best food and only make or give veggies as treats, except for the beef/chicken broth (low sodium of course) ice cubes after a long hot walk. I have flexible availability and am always willing to work my schedule to accommodate as many people as possible without compromising time for the pups. I can do doggie day care, walks or drop ins. I can board 1 overnight but no more because I have to consider my pups well-being as well. They do love other dogs though. They enjoy the dog park a lot. I owned a cleaning business for 10 years and often cared for the customers dog while there and also boarded and/or sat with one of my customers multiple times. I am currently working from home on a flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to spend with the pups. Most of my time is dedicated to my pups and anyone in my care. I have a nice size fenced in yard with plenty of room to play. There are pups on all sides of my fence so there are neighbors for the pups to chat with...and give a good back and forth fence run.

Cathy is amazing with our Bailey. Bailey was shy at first but opened up after only 5 mins of meeting her. We do doggie daycare with her a couple times a month and love it. Bailey also loves playing with Cathy's 2 dogs.

Cathy is one of the only people I would trust to take care of my puppy. She is so caring and loving, especially towards animals.

Information Cathy B. would like to know about your pet

Favorite snacks? Rituals? Habits? Like of small dogs? Tolerant of excited to play dogs? Sleep in crate, human bed or pup bed? Is there anything you feel I should know about the best way to care for your baby?

A typical day

My neighborhood is large and we have sidewalks all around the neighborhood as well as 2 walking paths around ponds. I like to play ball, Frisbee or tug....whichever the pup prefers. Squeaky toys are plentiful in my house. We also like to play the "find it" game. One version is hiding something in the house and encouraging the pup to find it...with lots of rewards at the end, the other version is a board game so to speak. There's compartments with lids that flip or slide and I put treats in some of the compartments and they discover how to open the lid to get the treat. This is a favorite in my house. Treat include carrots, cucumbers, every once in a while a cookie or other nutritious snack. All treats are Made in USA or Canada, sometimes Argentina or another proven safe dog food manufacturing country...never China (nothing against China but they don't have a good track record for dog food manufacturers). Nap time is whenever the pup decides it is. Usually a post breakfast, pre lunch, post lunch, afternoon and pre dinner lol (dachshunds like to nap).
