Animal lover with kids, dogs & cats

Pet care experience

Our house is available for pet sitting, walks, check ins, and fostering. Our team consists of one adult and 2 children. We have 3 cats and 1 dog as permanent residents. Currently also fostering a litter of kittens. We baby sat a Beagle, named Bart, for 7 weeks while his owner went to the East Coast. We have also watched several other dogs and cats for longer stays while their owners ventured abroad. They became part of the family and we took them everywhere (school drop offs, walks, hikes, coffee shops, pet stores and more). We would love to walk and/or check up on your pets. Our favorite hiking & walking spots are around the Silver Lake Reservoir, the abandoned zoo trails in Griffith Park and Fryman Park (near Coldwater Cyn). We also love to walk the LA River around Frogtown. We come with treats and plenty of hugs. I am an artist working from my home studio and will be able to give your pet all of the love and attention they need during the day. I let your pets run free in my home. They can intermingle with my other pets and play with my kids. My kids and I love to play with a variety of animals. When we go out for long walks, we bring treats and water for the journey.

My cats got fleas from being at Cathy’s house. She did the bare minimum when it came to communication. The pictures she sent showed a filthy background and when I picked up my cats they smelled horribly rank. I’ve noticed one of my cats scratching to the point of bleeding and balding. I would not leave my pets at Cathy’s. Her positive reviews are misleading.

Cathy took great care of Indigo for an overnight stay. He had lots of walks and enjoyed playing with Cathy’s pets. Cathy was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend her and will be booking with her again. Thanks, Cathy!

Information Cathy I. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, please let me know if your pet has any allergies, restrictions or medical issues. We leave food out for them all day (Nutro dog food and Purina cat food). If there is a specific food them like or require, please drop that off with them.

A typical day

A typical day for dogs involves lots of walks. I typically walk around the Silver Lake Reservoir or we go to Fryman Park. For older dogs or on hotter days, we do shorter walks on the street. When my kids get home from school, they love to play fetch with dogs and chase them around the house. For cats, a typical day involves them lounging around the house. We like to play with them with feather toys, strings and laser pens. All animals will get plenty of love, hugs and kisses.
