Safety, trust & environment

Every animal in my house gets along with the others except for Katy Purry. (She hates everybody). I have a fenced in yard as well. I will not accept any pets that do not get along with other animals, are food aggressive, not spayed/neutered, and/or not house trained.

Information Cathy R. would like to know about your pet

I prefer that your dog has been exposed to cats before and is not super reactive. If your cat has not been around dogs I will provide a quiet spot but my dogs will not bother the cat. Everybody's safety is my first concern.

A typical day

We play in the yard after work and then on the weekends. Sometimes we visit the dog park or the lake to run and chase things. Also if we have some howlers (and we usually do) then we sing a couple of songs sometimes.

Love animals more than most people!

Pet care experience

I love all animals but am mainly a dog person. Both of my dogs and all my kittys are rescues and I encourage people to adopt all the time. I have had special needs dogs and know how to administer medications including injections. Your pet will have my dogs to play with and will never be neglected. I also have a huge fenced in back yard. I work 10 uminutes from my home 3 days a week and go home every day for lunch and am home most of the weekend except for errands. I am available any day. My animals mostly stay in the house. I never leave my dogs outside when I am gone. Your furbaby will probably sleep in bed with the others as they are one big happy family.

Despite Cathy’s many positive reviews, my experience with her was negative. I have a 5-month-old puppy, and before booking I specifically asked how her dogs do with puppies. She assured me they had done well in the past, but she never mentioned that she would also be boarding other dogs at the same time. When we arrived, Cathy told me that two of the dogs she was sitting had fought the night before, which already made me uneasy. During introductions, one of those same dogs bit my puppy unprovoked and drew blood. While the injury was minor, I did not feel comfortable leaving my puppy in that environment and decided to take him home. I contacted Rover, explained the situation, and was issued a refund. Cathy was upset and accused me of wasting her time, claiming my puppy had simply received a “correction” from a dog that had “never been a problem”—the very same dog she admitted had recently been in a fight. Initially, I wasn’t planning to leave a review, understanding that sometimes incidents happen. However, after my further interactions with Cathy, I feel it’s important to share that I found her to be both incompetent and untrustworthy.

I had a wonderful experience with Cathy this weekend! She took great care of my dog, Octa, who clearly enjoyed her stay. Cathy was very nice and I felt completely at ease knowing Octa was in such good hands.

Her dog had a blast with Miss Cathy - she's a 100% animal lover - who's great to see our dog playing with all the other dogs and spending time with the kittens!! Fantastic experience!!
