Pet care experience
Thank you for considering me. Entrusting a stranger with your fur baby is very serious. I understand that. My goal is that we won't be strangers for long, but you will feel that I am a family friend. My background outside of running E-Commerce has always been in care-taking. I find that caring for pets is very rewarding and have always had that in my life since a young age. I am active and no couch potato. I have experience with most animals, from the tiniest kitten to the majestic horse and most creatures in between. If you want your pet cared for and treated as the precious creature it he/she is, let's Meet & Greet to see if we are a good fit! I have 5 star reviews on Yelp under my business name.

Reviews
Cathy is a true dog lover and a customer service professional. When I got my dog back, he was cleaner than I gave him to her and super relaxed. It was very apparent he had a nice time with her and wasn't stressed or missing us too much. She also sent pictures and videos the entire time, allowing me to enjoy my trip without being stressed about how my dog was doing. I highly recommend her services. My dog is a sensitive soul so it feels good to leave him with someone who truly cares about his wellbeing.
Cathy is the absolute best! My pup loved her so much that I think she wanted to stay with her longer. I definitely recommend her!
Ive known Cathy for over 25 years and she’s always been my go to person when I needed someone to watch and care for my animals. She is great with them. If you love your fur babies and need someone to take care of them while you’re away I would definitely recommend Cathy
Cathy did a great job with my Dog Lily. Lily absolutely loves Cathy. I trust Cathy with Lily 100%. Thank you Cathy for caring for my dog like she was your own.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and a large space dedicated for my furry friends. I have 4x4 pens and gated space for separation during feeding times or if needed for safety. The dogs have beds, blankets, and couches for a homey environment.

Information Cathy S. would like to know about your pet
I do not take aggressive dogs - the sizes I board are limited to about 30/40 pounds, on a case by case basis taking into account the activity level and gentleness with other dogs. I love all dogs, just for boarding I’m trying to be sure the ” pack “ is safe and comfortable with each other.
A typical day
My best quality is likely patience. I have been a special needs aide for school children and also a care-taker for the elderly with cognitive issues. I try to look at the world from my clients perspective and adjust accordingly. I love to walk around all the beautiful trails in the area and always take care that the dog is having a good experience. I’m up at 5am and the pups get out at 6am, breakfast 7am, out again to potty and play, then the day continues with indoor/ outdoor until dinner at 5pm, rest apx 8pm.

I do a few dog walks or house calls through out the day, however, I make sure any boarding dogs are attended to with lots of love and exercise as my priority. This is my full time job.
