Availability

Dogs are up early during the school year, out back, fed and then restricted to first floor during the day. I commonly check-in at noon and we are home by 3:30. Your pups have good (but lazy) days with my 2 girls unless we have the walker wear them out in the daytime. Beds are fluffy, water is always fresh and home is cozy and clean. In the summer I am always out back with my dogs in my "happy place" yard. My focus in on caring for the animals so I am around as much as possible. I enjoy their antics, there humor and their company-I hope they enjoy mine as well.

Safety, trust & environment

Dogs have run of the house when we are home-access to back yard is through doggy door and we have had 100% success with teaching every Rover dog this routine. However, we still do scheduled walks and trips out back. Feeding is done in individual kitchen or living area spaces-dogs are not allowed to each another's food. We create a stress free environment at feeding time which encourages consumption and water intake.

Information Cathy N. would like to know about your pet

Feeding routine, level of energy and any special needs are all things I do ask. We want to make sure our pups get individualized care and attention. We do encourage good manners but don't ever punish or disparage. My style of dog sitting is relaxed and nurturing. I do need to know if Fido marks inside though but we have a great solution which seems to make everyone content.

A typical day

We love walking along the lake which is about 4 blocks away. We also enjoy frisbee, ball and just walks around the neighborhood. When the warmer days come, you will scarcely find us inside in front of the TV!

Welcome to our home!

Pet care experience

What started as a little side gig to earn travel money for a mother-daughter adventure has turned into a heart-full, life-changing journey for me. Seven years later, I’ve cared for over 100 pups through Rover—and every single one has brought their own goofy, sweet, hilarious personality into my home. I truly love what I do! When your pup stays with me, they’re treated like family. Couch cuddles? Absolutely. Mealtime routines? I’ve got them down. Unlimited zoomies through the dig-proof, camera-monitored backyard? You bet. I do everything we can to make our home a secure, happy little oasis for visiting doggy guests. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, I do require a meet & greet before booking, and I specialize in hosting small, non-aggressive, often senior pups. I adore the golden-oldies! My home is quiet, clean, and my yard is cared for daily—so your pup enjoys a healthy, low-stress stay. I’m big on communication, flexible when life throws curveballs, and my refund policy is very reasonable. I want every client to feel like a friend, and every dog to feel at home. I’m patient, affectionate, and take the responsibility of caring for your pup seriously. As a teacher in our school district, I’m deeply rooted in the community and love supporting fellow pet parents. Let me know how I can help make your time away be as stress-free and as tail-waggingly easy as possible—for both you and your pup!

We loved having our doggo, Coco, stay with Cathy and her daughter Matilda. Cathy was so nice to send us pictures and a video. We will definitely be reaching out again for our next trip!

We felt instantly at ease when we met Cathy for our meet and greet before we booked her. Oliver was taken well care of. He was a tired boy when we got home. That’s a good thing! Her fenced yard was a must for us since Oliver loves to Play outside. We will definitely book Cathy again for our next trip.

Cathy is amazing! Our pup considers staying with Cathy a vacation. She’s patient and kind, taking the very best care of our fur baby.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
