I have a fenced in yard for my chocolate lab. He is friendly and easy going but will need a few minutes when first meeting a new dog. I have the means to kennel or fence off an area if need be.

Keep Calm and Walk the Dog

Pet care experience

I have had a dog for the last 25 years and love to be around any dog. I often dog sit for friends and family members. Being around dogs just makes me smile. I've spent a great deal of time training my current dog and learned a great deal from the trainer.

Cathy did an EXCEPTIONAL job caring for our fur baby!! He has a lot of energy and sass lol and she embraced it and was great with him! She was attentive, on time, thorough in her updates to me as I was a very anxious mama! I highly recommend her and will definitely work with her again in the future!

Cathy is an outstanding dog walker! Our rambunctios 2yo lab loved her daily walks, and Cathy even worked with our nervous Border Collie to build up her confidence. Cathy is absolutely reliable, and we highly recommend her!
