Pet Sitting in Susanville

“Breanna was great! Super sweet with my doggo Ursula and I love that she kept me updated on how she was doing. Definitely gave me peace on mind knowing that Ursula was well taken care of.”

About: I have been professionally offering training and behavior services for over 18 years. My first internship out of college was working in animal rescue and it was there I found my passion for behavior work. I served as District Manager of Training and Boarding for a nationally recognized training program after completing several internships, managing 27 training facilities and daycare facilities where I helped shape the program to use effective, science based methods of training. I have worked on national level projects partnering with Human Animal Support Services and Maddie's Fund working on redefining canine bite scales and forensics, improved behavior protocols for sheltered behavior animals, redefining enrichment and training protocol standards of care and developing effective behavior monitoring methods for behavior, managed medically and through training. Other projects include behavior case study, study design and research on shelter animal engagement and in-kennel behavior, in-shelter testing behavior protocols for dogs and cats and behavior support services. I am a Knowledge Assessed Certified Trainer with the Certification Counsel of Professional Dog Trainers, a professional member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, an FSDS Service Dog Trainer and Evaluator, a certified Fear-Free Professional and is currently enrolled for my CBCC certification in the spring, one of the most advanced animal behavior certifications that can be earned in my field. Our property is a fully fenced, 3+ acre property with multiple play yards and separate fenced areas! Dogs are never left unsupervised both inside and outside the property. The resident cat is always kept separately. For home visits, I am happy to care for additional pets such as chickens, livestock and look after the garden. I work as a behavior specialist from home so I have open availability. Your pet is my priority and will receive training, enrichment and scheduled activities throughout the day in addition to playtime. Enrichment includes lickymats, kongs, puzzle toys, activity mats (snuffle mats), nosework games and more! Speciality overnight care with dog training and Behavior Modification services included. Unlike traditional board and train programs, we offer services in your own home where your pet feels most comfortable and safe. For board and train programs, we only care for one client at a time, and never split our time between multiple pets, ensuring you get exclusive, fully attentive care. We specialize in special needs pets including separation related problem behaviors such as clinical separation anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, fearful and shy animals and aggressive animals including those with previous bite histories. We strive for accessible, affordable care never charge extra based on the behavioral or medical needs of your dog.

“She did a great job with my two dogs at last minute she accepted to watch them. She is very friendly and always showed up on time if not early. She took a lot of pictures to show how the dogs were doing. I definitely would recommend her and will be asking for each time. Thank you so much Cate for everything!!!”
