Pet care experience

I will treat your pets like my own

About me : I have loved animals my whole life . Dogs , cats , horses even rats . I have owned them or actually they have owned my heart, my whole life . I have taken care of pets for the last 30 years . I have two dogs and a cat of my own . I have used the services of local teenagers and family to care for my own pets when we are on vacation. But it’s nice to have vetted people taking care of your precious babies . I will care for them as best I can , although they will miss you for sure . I would be happy to send pictures via texts or emails of their antics during the day. I also work at the humane society here in Brookings. So I am used to all kinds of dogs ❤️

House Sitting • mei 03, 2026

Cathy was great! She communicated with us frequently and sent photos of our dog Stella. She was sure to let us know of any concerns (for example when Stella was expressing some anxiety), so that we could offer some suggestions or just let her know that Stella's behaviors were normal for her. She was respectful of our home and even offered to bring a sleeping bag rather than have me launder linens for just one night's stay. We are already re-booking her!

We are so thankful to have Cathy visit our cat Poppy while we were away. Cathy sent us fun pics while we were gone and was great in communicating with us. She even met our dogs one time and we feel very confident she would be a great sitter for them as well!

Cathy is absolutely incredible!!! She will treat your fur babies as her own & show them so much love & thoughtful, dedicated care. She truly goes above & beyond & on top of that, she is also an amazing communicator. We had an extremely positive & smooth experience with her & we truly feel like we couldn’t have left our dogs in better hands. Thank you Cathy!!!
