Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In the clients home I make sure all animals are well cared for and given plenty of love and attention. I will bathe them if requested and can ensure happy animals and a clean home to return to if it's overnight care. While I am walking or doing drop in visits I will make sure any messes made while they're alone are cleaned up and I can spend as much time as needed with your furbabies :)

Cathy is great with the pups and this for this visit was a life saver for us. My husband was able to have her trouble shooting the power outlets in the garage to get the garage door opener working again and restore power to the refrigerator and freezer! Go greatly appreciated!!

Cathy was fantastic with Joey and Gizzy. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our pets were in good hands Cathy gave us multiple daily updates with photos and also took great care of our home. We came home to a clean house exactly the way we left it. I highly recommended Cathy for your pet sitting needs. We will definitely be calling her again.

Please let me know if your dog has specific medications or treatments that need be done on a schedule. I also like to know about the pets specific likes and dislikes when it comes to interaction with people, and what their personality is like.
