Information Cathy G. would like to know about your pet

Home can be contained to one level and suitable for easy access to the yard. Deck can also be contained for sunbathing or nature watching.

A typical day

I’m an avid hiker and enjoy the outdoors, whether on local trails, cross country skiing or gardening. Play is chucking balls, hide and seek with favorite toys, or “find it” nose work with treats.

Hike yeah, let’s go!

Pet care experience

I’ve lived with, raised and helped care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am retired and with the loss of our own senior dog I have time on my hands. My favorite hiking buddies are the large, four legged variety, preferably off-leash with reliable recall. Let me spoil your dog with attention.

We got so lucky with this lovely couple, watching our two Bernese mountain dogs. My husband and I were seriously worried they wouldn’t want to come home with us! Cathy is kind, communicative, and just the best.

Cathy was absolutely phenomenal! Our dog was in great hands and it was comforting to have peace of mind knowing this from start to finish. Thank you, Cathy for taking such great care of her! Will use you again without hesitation!

We knew right away that we had chosen the best sitter for our dog. He was well taken care of and, we are sure, he did not want to leave.
