Happy dog all the time

Hi, I'm Cathy, and I am a full-time dogsitter. I come from a family of dog lovers and have raised and owned two dogs, one who unfortunately passed away a year ago. In the meantime, I began professionally taking care of others' dogs in 2019 (only recently beginning on Rover!), so I have 3 years in the dogsitting business and many more years of dogsitting experience. I live in a house with a fenced-in backyard and a safe neighborhood where I take the dogs on walks for. On some weekends, I take the dogs to my local park, where they can enjoy a large grassy area. A typical day your dog(s) may experience in my home is free roam of most (if not all) of the house. I usually play with them in the afternoon when I have more leisure time, and I have kids (currently 11 and 13) who can entertain them when they are not doing online school. Your dog(s) have access to potty in the backyard all day, and I take them on walks in the morning and afternoon. Walks are usually around 15-20 minutes. If your dog requires more exercise, you can let me know, and I will accommodate as such. I send pictures and updates every day, usually taking pictures throughout the day and sending them to you during or after dinner, but I will be reachable all day. I may take in one other dog, and if that happens, I will attempt to arrange a meeting for them to get to know one another. Otherwise, I will send you a video of how they get along upon introduction. My family and I will treat your dog as one of our own, and I can assure you that they will be loved and have a home away from home when they stay with me! ( :

I boarded my chihuahua with Cathy for a week over the holidays and was extremely happy with her responsiveness and overall care. She sent pictures every day, was careful to follow our feeding instructions, and was super flexible and understanding when we had travel disruptions and had to change the pickup date and time (twice)! We will definitely book with Cathy again the next time we travel!

Glad we found Cathy and her family who love dogs. Our Benji was well taken care of and he really enjoyed staying overnight with the family. Cathy is such a nice and responsible sitter. Thank you! Tony Tran

Cathy was wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and sent photos of our dog. She put us at ease and made accommodations for our anxious dog to make her feel at home. We are so thankful!

Luna was taken care of well by Cathy and her family. She was attentive to my dog's needs and follow the feeding instructions well. Highly recommended and I would definitely use her again and again.

Cathy is very communicative, trustworthy and extremely loving with my fur babies. Grateful she’s become my go to sitter whenever I’m out of town, I rest easy knowing my puppies are being cared for by her!
