Boarding • Dec 27, 2022

Catie was an an absolute dream of a dog sitter. She was diligent about sending photos, great at communication, and beyond accommodating with our delayed travel schedule. Every single day she was doing something new with my dog, Bowie, and her cutie, Billy Bob - whether taking them on a hike, to the dog park, or buying them new toys and treats - everyday was a pleasant surprise for us. I don’t write reviews lightly as I feel most of us on here can only hope our dogs will be treated like their own - with that said, I’d recommend Catie 100x over again and truly look forward to using her in the future.

Catie, has been the best dog sitter I have ever had. She took Benny for walks, was comfortable with him saying hi to his friends. She met my neighbors, and they told me how happy Benny looked with her. Anytime Catie, came to the house he would run to say, and sat with her. It made my travel less stressful, because he was so happy to see her and was not worried about me! She also sent me pictures of him and her while I was traveling which made me smile and relax because I could see how loved he was by her.

I trust very few people with my dog, Olive, and I trust Catie with her. You can really tell Catie loves animals. She reliable and a good communicator.

Catie did a great job taking care of our two dogs! She is trustworthy and dependable, and our dogs love her! While we were gone, she even sent pictures and updates! We would definitely have Catie dogsit again!

Catie is a wonderful pet whisper. She has taking care of my cat Luna many times for long period of times. There are many reasons why she is the best. She is organize, on time and listens to the pet owner and the pet as well. Keeps tracks on food/ diet or special requests. She loves animals, and she treats them with love and respect. She is a gentle soul and after having her pet sit, the pet and the owner will not want someone else to pet sit.

Schedule

I work from home so can usually attend to your pets' schedule (and if I can't, I will tell you if you inquire about you/your pets' needs). If you'd like some more time spent with your pet, you're ok with me bringing my canine good citizen, trained therapy dog with me (don't worry, we will make sure they get along in the meet and greet), and are able to have a flexible schedule, let me know and I can most likely work from your home at no additional charge.

Safety, trust & environment

I work from home and can often work from your home if requested, so your babies are in good hands. When I’m working, my canine good citizen, therapy dog sits on one side and yours can have the other if they choose. When I’m not working (about 4-hrs a day and never 4-hrs in a row), we go on walks, engage in some light training if requested (positive only-I do not use punishment), or get loved on through brushing, pets, playing, or cuddles.

Pets

A typical day

I am trained in Canine Behavior and Enrichment through Animal Behavior Institute. Depending on your dog, we will engage in stimulating activities that meet the energy of each pet. This may include fetch, hide and seek, or basic training. We like to go on a lot of walks in the neighborhood or at your local park with your direction of course.

I can work with as much or as little information as you want to give me with the exception of if your animal has a history of aggressive behavior towards people, other animals, or children. I do need to know that information and what triggers the aggression for obvious reasons. I also like to know where the sweet and tender spots are on your animal when petting (if your animal likes to be pet), what makes them happy, what triggers they may have, and where the treats are of course.
