Highlights
Pet care experience
With me, I treat dogs like royalty
Hi! My name is Cathy, and ever since I was a little kid, I have had a huge fascination and connection with animals, specifically dogs. As a younging I'd spend my free time researching dog breeds for fun, and before I was old enough to work on Rover, I I hung up fliers advertising my own dog walking business. Since I love dogs so much, I have heaps of experience walking and pet sitting all kinds of dogs. From my late large dog, Quiver, a Flat-coated Retriever, to a medium sized Australian Shepard, to a Miniature Schnauzer. I will dedicate 100% of my attention and time to making sure your dog is always happy and healthy! I have years of experience caring for senior dogs. When I heard about my dog’s disease prognosis, I began hand cooking him meals chock full of cancer-fighting vegetables and supplements in addition to his dry food. This included (as seen in my photos) sweet potatoes, red cabbage, broccoli, turmeric, fish oil, mushroom powder, etc. The vet had projected he would only live another 2 months, with my care and the change of his food, he lived and loved over 2 more years! So if your dog has a special diet, do not hesitate to let me know.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Cathy did an outstanding job sitting for my two border collies, who I think were a bit disappointed to see me walk through the door at the end of my trip. Highly recommend.
Cathy was great with our dog! She gave daily updates with pictures and we came back to a happy dog and a well kept house. Super appreciative of Cathy - very responsible and communicative. Would definitely work with her again!
Cathy was so kind and engaging with Milo when she babysat him over Christmas. Cathy provided daily updates on Milo’s activities and how he was doing. Milo was very well taken care of and Cathy was so easy to reach and flexible with her schedule. I would love to book again with her!
Cathy was great with my dog. He would start watching for her to get here, then be very excited when she came in the door. She is very sweet and focussed on her dog walking responsibilities.
Catchy was very flexible and made sure to take points on special care instructions during our meet and greet for Bean. I’d be happy to have Cathy care for bean again in the future!
Cathy is top notch. Kind. Helpful. Provides a warm, clean, safe environment for our pups. Excellent communication and care. ?

A typical day
For the service of dog boarding, I live right next the great amenity of Point Defiance Park which includes a lush forest, a spacious park perfect for zoomies, as well as a good size dog park perfect for dog-to-dog socializing. I will listen to your dog's body language, what they want, and provide the best for them. For the service of dog walking, I will walk with your dog wherever you tell me. That could be a park, around the block, or just out in the yard!
