Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexi Sched, IAH, DogPaws welcomed!
I've taken care of dogs over 15 years.. I have owned more than four dogs but a few have gained their furry wings... I do have a puppy in the home now. I have cared, loved, bathed, and fed my own dogs, dogs of family, and friends. I have cared for pups and seniors and administered various medications. Love small to medium sized breeds!

Ratings and reviews
I wanted to make sure this review was posted as soon as we picked up Oreo. I can’t express my sincere gratitude for everything Mrs. Cathy did for us. She truly came through for us at the very last minute right before our flight after our previous dog sitter canceled. When I downloaded the app and found her nearby, her instant response and timely arrival to pick up Oreo was such a relief. Receiving regular updates and photos throughout Oreo's stay meant so much to us, especially since we hardly ever leave him with strangers. It was clear that Oreo loved staying with her, and I am so glad we found someone we can completely trust with him. Thank you again for your wonderful care! If anyone is looking, just go ahead and book! God bless you, Mrs. Cathy!
I am very disappointed with this sitter. Communication throughout my dog’s week-long stay was very limited, and I received little to no updates. My dog went into their care completely flea-free and returned home covered in fleas. I do not have a yard or other environment where he could have picked them up, and it is difficult to believe that fleas simply appeared during the ride home after a full week of being in their care. When I notified the sitter, they were dismissive and argued that my dog did not have fleas while he was there and that the other animals had been inspected. However, if all of the animals were properly inspected, I am left wondering how my dog returned home with a significant flea infestation. Rather than taking my concern seriously, I felt like I was being argued with and made to question what I had observed. The lack of communication during the stay and the way my concerns were handled afterward were both very disappointing. I would not book with this sitter again.
I just moved to Texas. I was nervous leaving my babies, I dont know anyone.i had a reguar Rover person I go to in Chicago. Cathy was very accommodating, she agree to meet with me, my hubby, and our babies. Cathy was so friendly she brought her daughter with her. My girl dog immediately wanted to play, my boy dog was very shy. Cathy sent pictures, they were playing and chilling. My babies looked happy when i picked them up. When I was ready to go home. I was so nervous about driving on the freeway back home. Cathy assured me I will be ok, and to let her know when I made it home. I am very happy with Cathy. I will definitely bring my babies back. Thank you!! 🐾🐾
This was Nene and Buckys first time with Cathy and she was amazing. I didn’t have to worry about my babies at all. She updated me, sent me pictures and they were overall in a safe and loving environment! Cathy was also quick to respond if I was checking in on my dogs which is a major plus.
Harley loves going to stay at Ms.Cathy’s house. He comes back happy and bubbly. Thank you!
Cathy is always so good with Tucker, sends me updates and photos so I know how he is doing and can be worry free while in her care.
