Pet care experience
With the exception of a few years, I've always had a dog. I have a lifetime of experience caring for my own and friends and family's dogs. Our house is a warm and friendly place with a big, fenced back yard. I provide compassionate and conscientious care to all animals under my responsibility. I'm a big fan of Cesar Milan (Cesar's Way) and incorporate his methods in my care for pets. I love to hike, walk, run, ski, so if your dog would enjoy getting some exercise on the trails in our area, I always appreciate a canine companion on my day activities! I am a true dog lover; I love learning their unique personalities. it is always a treat for our family to host a guest pet. As a parent and pet owner, I understand the worry that can be involved leaving a furry family member behind in an unknown place. I keep my clients informed with daily updates and photos. I am a stay-at-home mom to 3 school age boys. Between the boys and I, the Dogs who stay with us will have no shortage of potty breaks, affection, exercise and playtime! I'm generally home except for school pick-ups, drops offs, and errands. I'm available to take dogs out mid-day for daily walks etc. I have a large, fenced yard. The fence is waist-high (approx. 4 ft) so if you dog is a jumper, my place may not be a good fit. Our family pet is a sweet, 14-year-old, healthy and relatively active Beagle. She's easy going and gets along well with others. I can accommodate both crate trained, and non-crate trained dogs. When dogs stay with us, we treat them like family and of course adhere to any directions regarding health, potty times, crates, diet, best sleeping arrangements, etc.
Reviews
Cathy is the best! Our fur baby is so happy when Cathy watches over him and we feel confident that he’s being loved. We highly recommend Cathy for all pet home stays and will use her again.
Our two dogs were cared for by Cathy and her family for several days and nights… We were able to communicate daily, if needed, and she sent pics of our dogs during activities… We will use her again. Thank you
Cathy was a wonderful sitter for our dog. She was very accomadating with a short notice request. Our dog received plenty of love and enjoyed her time. I would 100% recommend Cathy to any of my friends.
Our older Golden Retriever was well taken care of and happy.

I have a large back yard that is completely fenced. I have an (size extra-large) crate available for crate trained dogs. I always keep dogs on leash when out for walks. We can enjoy fetch in the back yard or at dog parks. We treat dogs like family during their stay, with plenty of affection, exercise and attention.
Home
Information Cathy R. would like to know about your pet
My goal is to keep your pet as happy and healthy as possible during their stay. I appreciate as many details as you can provide. It can be stressful for a pet to be away from their human and I aim to provide as much consistency as possible to help ease any anxiety and help pets feel right at home. Helpful Information: Feeding schedule (if they have one), medications, where they like to sleep, your home rules, the words/commands you use with your pet, their preferences, how much activity they like, how they show anxiety or stress, how they show contentment and any other relevant details you can provide.
A typical day
We walk at the 3 parks and multiple greenways within walking distance of my house. If dogs don't mind a short car ride, I love to take dogs with me to hike and run (always on leash) the trails on the mountain and the pathways in town. We have a large back yard for dogs to play to play fetch etc. I've discovered dogs love keeping me company as I work in my home office part of the day.
