Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog’s BFF 🫶🏻
I’ve had two Labradors. Lulu was just 8 weeks old when she became my first baby. She became the big sis of my two sons until she crossed the rainbow bridge. Then came Dawson, a 2-year old foster who ended up staying and rescuing us. We lost Dawson after 11 years of amazing memories with him. Now that we travel more abroad, I can only commit to other people’s pets. Dogs can always tell I’m a softy. From puppies to seniors, I have a heart for all of them. I enjoy walks and giving lots of hugs. 🤗 I can only take one pup at a time for overnight stays though.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Cathy did a super job keeping and watching for Wilbur for a couple days. She's easy going, friendly, a great communicator and has great attention to detail, which is very important when leaving your pet with sitters. Wilbur really enjoyed his stay with Cathy and we look forward to when he gets to go visit her again.
Cathy did a great job. She kept us updated and sent plenty of pictures daily. We could enjoy our vacation knowing that Luna is in good hands and is pampered with lots of love and attention. We will be happy to have Cathy take care of Luna again in the future.
Cathy took fantastic care of my dog. I was given consistent updates, lots of adorable photos, and she communicated so promptly. I could tell that she treated my dog like he was her own and that helped me to not worry at all during his stay. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy person to watch their dog!
Cathy was great at keeping me updated on Sumo during my trip! I could tell that Sumo was having a good time during his stay with Cathy. My worries melted away! I would definitely book again if I ever go on vacation and need a trustworthy, kind dog sitter.
Cathy is a real gem, a treasure. Our boy George was in heaven during his stay with her. Her communications were frequent and the pictures were great. I never felt any sense of concern on my vacation about the care of my pet. I highly recommend Cathy but I would like to keep her as a best kept secret because she's so good at that she does. Thank you Cathy!
Cathy took wonderful care of Tutu and sent us lots of photo updates. I’d definitely book with her again!

I work from home full time. I can manage my time to allow for walks in the day. I’m flexible on weekends. Open to full-day or multiple day stays at my home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a townhome in a quiet neighborhood with lots of sidewalks and green spaces. I enjoy walks. Your pup will be free to roam the main floor which is nice and open. If the weather permits we can chill on the deck and watch the neighborhood dogs walk by. 😎 I only host one pup at a time. They get all my love and attention.
A typical day
Our neighborhood is very dog friendly. We’d go on many walks as long as they like. The neighborhood is very walkable and has lots of green spaces. I enjoy the exercise rain or shine. I will talk to and love your dog like a best friend would.

- Although I have had 2 labs, I know that not all dogs like to be around other dogs. My boy, Dawson, preferred avoiding them on our walks, which can easily be done where I live. Kindly let me know what your dog likes and dislikes, how they are around other dogs and humans, what their routine looks like at home, how to feed them and which toys to keep handy so they feel at home away from home. I can administer meds.
