Caring Dog Mom Ready to Spoil🐾🫶🏻

I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes—from a tiny 4 lb Chihuahua to my current 70 lb Goldendoodle who lives with me. This range has taught me how to handle different temperaments, needs, and energy levels, whether it’s playful puppies, active adult dogs, or gentle senior pups. I usually take dogs out every 4 hours and make sure they get plenty of exercise each day, whether that’s a dog park visit, a nice walk, or a hike🐾. I also train my own dog and have traveled with him to many places, including Utah, California, Seattle, and even international trips like China—so I’m very comfortable managing dogs in new environments.🥰 I’m new to Rover, but I already have plenty of dog-sitting experience and have always received 100% positive feedback. I truly love every dog I meet and always treat them with patience, care, and attention.🐾❤️

Cathy was amazing! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages. June was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I highly recommend Cathy and will definitely book with her again!

There were also a few times when something came up last minute, and Cathy always stepped in to help, whether it was picking up my dog or taking a same-day booking. Honestly, she made my life so much easier. My dog is a picky guy, but he loves her very much, and I really appreciate everything she’s done for us. I’d highly, highly recommend her to anyone.

Cathy is incredibly caring and attentive. She always takes the initiative to help clean my dog’s ears and makes sure he is comfortable. Every day, she brushes his coat and checks his body carefully. On one occasion, she noticed a swollen spot on his back that I hadn’t seen. Thanks to her attention and quick message to me, I was able to take him to the vet in time. She also loves dressing him in cute outfits and taking many meaningful, beautiful photos that I treasure. It’s clear that she treats my dog with genuine love, as if he were her own.I truly appreciate the level of care Cathy provides, and I feel completely at ease leaving my dog with her. She is one of the best sitters we’ve ever had.

Cathy has been wonderful with my dog, Archie! He absolutely loves her! She’s responsible, gentle, and truly a dog lover. Whenever I need someone to look after him, I always go for her. I highly recommend!!

Safety, trust & environment

I take care of every pup like they’re my own. I usually take dogs out about every 4 hours and make sure they get plenty of playtime and cuddles. I live in a nice apartment building with a dog park and a public park right downstairs, so it’s super convenient for potty breaks, walks, and playtime. At my place, dogs are welcome on the couch and even the bed if their owners are okay with it—I want them to feel right at home. Sometimes I make simple homemade treats or little enrichment toys, and I’m happy to share them with your pup if you approve. My goal is always the same: keep your dog happy, comfy, and loved.

Pets

A typical day

I start by observing each dog to understand their energy level and preferences so I can tailor activities to them. I love dressing pups up for holidays and taking cute photos, especially for Christmas and Halloween. Every day, we make sure to get outside—whether it’s visiting a nearby dog park or walking by the river so they can explore new smells and the world around them. I also enjoy taking dogs on nearby hikes when appropriate. Please let me know if your pup has any favorite places or activities, and I’ll do my best to accommodate them.
