love all pets as if they’re my own!
Pet care experience
I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by dogs and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I routinely help out my neighbors by walking and letting out their dogs while they are out of town. Sometimes I just drop in for a quick let-out, or I hang around for a few hours to give them some company. I also take care of other pets too, from cats to fish to bearded dragons!
Reviews
Our dogs are our family members whose emotions cannot be expressed in words. Catie has comforted us and our dogs whenever we leave them in her care. Catie knows how to keep them safe and protected while lovingly disciplining them if needed. Our Rambo and Lucky range from separation anxiety and hyper activeness and Catie knows how to care for them as an individual, it's hard to find someone that cares for your pets in such loving and attentive ways. Catie is the best dog sitter! I cannot express how much our family and our Rambo and Lucky love her, they always lovingly recognize her with happy wagging tails.
Catie has a kind and loving nature. She’s dependable and diligent. She’s had a life-long long love of of pets and has been raised with dogs - and also Guinea pigs- in her home. She has been a dog-sitter for a neighbor for extended periods (2 to 3 weeks) and responsibly fulfilled her duties of feeding, walking,‘cleaning up after and spending time talking to the pups and keeping them company. Your pup would be in good hands with Catie

I have watched dogs of all temperaments so I can help coax out an anxious pet missing their family or tire out an energetic pup who wants to play. I’ve been walking my family dogs all of my life and I’ve been in a few leash-reactive situations so I know the best ways to keep your dog safe and happy!
Information catie s. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know about your dog’s quirks and habits so I know what behavior is normal and what might be a concern. I would also like to know your dog’s normal temperament, so I can adjust my plans accordingly to make them the most comfortable. Please let me know if your dogs have any medical concerns in case of an emergency.
A typical day
I love learning about your dogs and their favorite ways to play. Anything from fetch to running around to just chewing on a bone, anything that your dog enjoys I will encourage! Since I have experience with more anxious dogs, I know the best routes around our neighborhoods to avoid stressful situations so your pets have the best walks ever!
