Cathy was very understanding about the needs for Destiny. She was very professional, yet kind. I would recommend her services for the care of your pet.

Cathy was great with my older labradoodle! Very trustworthy and excellent communication. Can’t go wrong using her to watch your fur babies!

Cathy was great with my pups. She has a lovable Golden Retriever who loves to play. She updated me with pictures and texts, and the girls seemed to love their time there. If I ever go away for vacation again, I will definitely give her a ring to care for my girls.

Cathy is amazing! Cathy takes such great care of my dog, Zoey whenever I go on cruises. I honestly could not ask for anyone better. I always come home to a happy, relaxed pup-and that means a lot!

I can’t say enough good things about Cathy and the care she gave to my dogs, Winnie and Finn. From the moment she met them, it was clear she truly loves animals and understands how to make them feel safe and loved. Winnie can be a little shy and Finn is full of energy, but Cathy handled both of their personalities with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She kept me updated with pictures and little notes, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, both dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly had bonded with her. It felt like they were on a little vacation of their own! If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your pets, Cathy is it. She goes above and beyond, and I’m so grateful to have found her.

Schedule

I treat pet sitting as a responsibility and a priority, I build in time for everything from play sessions to medication schedules, keeping flexibility for any last-minute needs. My routine is built to support dependability, consistency, and compassion—three things every pet needs when away from their family.

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay in my home, I strive to make them feel safe, relaxed, and loved—just like part of the family. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with cozy spaces for rest, toys for enrichment, and designated areas for feeding and play. I stick closely to their usual routines, including walk times, feeding schedules, and any special care or medications they need.

Pets

A typical day

While sitting dogs and cats, I will ensure they are happy and well-cared for by feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, and giving them plenty of attention. For dogs, I will take them on regular walks, play fetch, and make sure they get exercise. For cats, I’ll engage them with toys, keep their litter box clean, and give them a cozy lap or quiet space to relax. I’ll also monitor their behavior and health, making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.
