“This was just our first meet and greet, but she did great! My dog is a rescue and has a lot of fears and anxiety. Linda was very patient, and I saw her using some of the same techniques a dog trainer told me about. We're looking forward to seeing her again!”
“Evelyn is a wonderful and responsible walker and sitter and takes great care of my dog Freckles. She always spends a full 30 minutes with her (and often longer) and makes sure she has lots of love and attention while I’m away at work. When it’s very hot she pays special attention to Freckles’ comfort and will take her back inside to cool off if she needs it, but still makes sure the visit is the full length of time. I always receive detailed follow-up and adorable photos when the walk is done. Evelyn has had to deal with a couple accidents and has been gracious in cleaning them up before putting Freckles back in her crate. I (and Freckles) highly recommend Evelyn!”

About: Hello! My name is Catherine, and I’m passionate about caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Growing up with Newfoundlands, I’ve developed a deep love for big dogs and have enjoyed training them in water activities. My experience extends beyond just my personal pets; I’ve worked in kennels and as a petsitter for family, friends and neighbors where I gained valuable skills in dog care and rehabilitation, particularly with dogs facing challenges like fear-based aggression. Currently, I share my home with three dogs: two energetic Boxers and a fun-loving Chihuahua/Pug mix. I appreciate the unique personalities and needs of both big and small dogs! One of my dogs is a certified therapy dog, which has brought as much joy to him as his new friends. In addition to dogs, I have a deep love for cats (although my partner is allergic, so I'd love to come over and play with yours!). I have cat-sat before and would love to take care of your kitty. I have experience caring for various animals as a farmhand, including ducks, chickens, and sheep. This diverse background has equipped me with the skills to manage different temperaments and needs in pets. I also have experience with dogs that have special needs, including my deaf dog, senior dogs, and others that have required extra patience and understanding. I believe every pet deserves the best care tailored to their individual needs. My philosophy is that whatever decision is right for your pet is also the right one for you as an owner. I regularly pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors, providing companionship, playtime, and cuddles. I’m great at managing mealtimes and administering medication, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s playing fetch, going for walks, or simply relaxing on the couch, I aim to create a nurturing environment that your pets will love. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I look forward to potentially welcoming them into my home! Let’s connect and discuss how I can provide the best care for your furry (or feathered, or scaled) family member! I currently work full-time from home but with a flexible schedule. I am completely free on weekends. Due to my flexible schedule, I can be available for pet care during the day with enough advance notice (generally one week). Otherwise I am available every day before 8pm, after 5pm, and available on weekends and ESPECIALLY holidays! I will care for your pets in the manner that is the most familiar and comfortable for both you and them - this will always be a discussion prior to our first appointment. I am comfortable with crates, harnesses of all sorts (including gentle leaders), prong collars (but NOT metal chain collars!), slip leads, treat dispensing (everyone's favorite, of course!), clicker training, muzzles, electronic collars (which I am trained on and have been using for 12+ years, especially with our deaf dog), I will respect room and house boundaries (for both myself and your pet), litterbox cleaning, I will wash their bowls daily and as needed, play-based training and rewards, brushing, grooming/bathing as needed, etc.
About: I've been taking care of a wide variety of animals for a long time. I have experience in all around basic boarding care for dogs, cats, and various reptiles and small animals; dog training basic obedience, fear or frustration aggression/reactivity, high drive dogs, and anxiety behaviors. Pet Care is not only an important part of my life, but it's a passion of mine. Caring for your animal like I do my own is what makes life rewarding for me. When your pet is with me it becomes a part of my family and is treated as such. I look forward to training or caring for your animals! I can train your dog in a multitude of ways.

Catherine M.Star Sitter
“I can’t recommend Catherine highly enough as a dog caregiver! She recently watched my German Shorthaired Pointer, Atlas, and I was blown away by how phenomenal she was with him. From the moment he arrived at her home, it was clear that he felt completely at ease and excited to be there. Catherine’s home is like a second haven for him, and he absolutely lights up whenever he visits her and her wonderful husband, Oliver, along with their three dogs. Catherine is a highly skilled dog handler with a wealth of experience caring for various breeds. She has an incredible ability to connect with dogs, and it shows in how happy and relaxed Atlas is in her care. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with him. It’s comforting to know that Atlas is not only well taken care of but also genuinely enjoys his time with Catherine and her family. She is simply the best!”
Logan S.Star Sitter
“I can’t say enough about the knowledge Logan has for dogs and their behavior. We found him at a time when our pack was broken. Over time Logan has taught us and our dogs everything from basic learning to behavior control. Our dogs respect him and love their training nights with him. We have seen a huge improvement in behavior with the dogs. He showed us how our behavior had to change around them. The anxiety was very high had when we first met Logan, but over time and lessons it’s decreased immensely. Our dogs are becoming a pack again thanks to Logan. We recommend him for all training needs as well as daily care for your dogs. Our dogs love him.”
