Pet care experience
Hi my name is Cathy and I have 10 years of personal experience taking care of dogs! I grew up and trained a gentle and sweet female large 80 pound dog of my own (her name is Karma!). I currently have a one year old extremely friendly and energetic female 60 pound dog, her name is Brooklyn! She has two certificates of puppy and intermediate training. I exercise regularly and enjoy walking outside. I am currently applying for medical school and would love to walk / take care of your dog in the meantime! I work full time from home and have several opportunities for breaks to walk and play with your fur baby. We can always set up the best times for me (and Brooklyn!) to meet your dog. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and hope to hear from you soon!
Reviews
Cathy took wonderful care of my energetic pitbull and he had a great time playing with her resident dog each day. Cathy was very responsive with detailed information both before and during his stay, and was patient and understanding with some issues he had while adjusting to a new environment. She took him on long walks every day and provided lots of photos and videos which was so great to see. Very grateful for the excellent care and attention provided!
Cathy did a wonderful job. Our dog was quite nervous at first, and was barking quite a bit. Cathy was extremely patient and caring, and worked with us to help our dog feel comfortable. Her loving care helped our dog settle down, and from there on it was smooth sailing. The daily updates with photos were wonderful. I highly recommend Cathy.
Cathy provided daily photos and videos. All went well and our furball had a great time with Cathy and her dog. We’ll be reaching out to her again in the future.
Cathy was an excellent dog sitter for our large dog Luna! She was very attentive to Luna’s needs, genuinely cared about getting her settled in and acquainted with other dogs, and meticulously documented any potentially irregular behavior with daily follow up pictures and messages. Would recommend.

The neighborhood is quiet and I generally have a good range of area to cover in terms of walks. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for our fur babies to spend time. If outside is not an option, I live in a large two bedroom apartment with plenty of space for our furry friends to roam, walk, play, and exercise. I do have a large crate if needed.

A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs mentally and physically. I live in a quiet neighborhood where your dog can explore new smells and live near a big park. I have a fenced yard where your dog can spend time with my dog and socialize.

Availability
I currently work from home full time. My job is fairly flexible and I am able to have time to play and walk with your pet. After work, I enjoy going on long walks with my own dog. I am free on most weekends and I usually like to find ways to exercise my pet such as walking, toys, or puzzles.
