I had a wonderful experience with Cathy! She took great care of Cuero and Kipp while I was away. I received photo updates twice a day, which gave me so much peace of mind, and they were always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had. It was clear my dogs were well cared for and in good hands. I would definitely book with them again and highly recommend Cathy to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

Cathy was amazing! Provided excellent communication, was prompt, and accommodating to my babies special care taking needs. Picked up my babies happy and healthy, definitely recommend to anyone looking for their pet to feel the same love and care they receive at home. Will be a repeat customer for sure!

My dog Tate had the best time! Her videos and pictures throughout the day eased my mind while I was out of town. Will definitely use her again!

Cathy was amazing with our dog, Hulk! She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely loves and cares for animals, and Hulk absolutely loves her. We could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. We highly recommend Cathy and will definitely continue using her whenever we need a sitter!

I gave her a 50.00 tip and if I was a take-backer I would take it back, because she doesn’t deserve it. Thanks

Schedule

I work 10am-5pm M,T,TH, and F. We start the day off letting everyone out to do their business in the backyard supervised. Then breakfast is given around 8AM with another after meal potty break before work. Once I return everyone gets a play time outside and there will be supervised play in the living room until dinner around 7PM with another after meal potty break. Then our last potty break is at 9PM before bedtime.
