Cats Got Your Dog!

Cat has been walking our dogs and taking them to the dog park for a long time now. Each morning they sit looking out the window waiting to see her pull up, and when she does, they make excited yips that I’ve never heard them make before (and that they never make for anyone or anything else).
Since she has been taking care of them, one of them, Riley, has gained an incredible amount of confidence around other people, other dogs, and at the dog park. She used to stick by my side, but now she happily plays with and greets all the dogs that come into the park and is much less shy with strangers.
Cat is always punctual, great at communicating, and clearly has a passion and a talent for what she does. We always know that our pets are safe, loved, and treated as her own when they’re with her.
Cat is very thorough and conscientious, too — when it’s raining or cold, she puts their coats on, and makes sure that their paws are dry before letting them back in the house. She always has a towel with her to ensure that her wet rain boots don’t make the front hall wet, and once she even mentioned that she opted to cut a visit to the park short because there was an aggressive dog there. I was so grateful that she prioritized our dogs’ safety and communicated it to us. We get full updates on their behavior, energy levels, «output», and anything else we’d need to know.
On top of her taking them to the park three days a week, she dog/​cat/​house sits for us when we travel. I have never felt as relaxed and comfortable as I do when Cat is taking care of the pets when we’re gone — I know they are in excellent care, and probably think it’s the best thing ever to spend so much time with their favorite person! Cat is always great at sending updates, photos, and being exceptionally responsible and thorough. We trust her 100 000%, and don’t know what we would do without her.
If you’re looking for a dog walker/​pet sitter, don’t even consider anyone else. Cat is an absolute treasure and we are above and beyond grateful for her!

If I could give 10 stars, I would! Cat has been walking my 4-​year old chocolate lab, Oliver, for over a year and I sometimes wonder who he loves more. I come home to a happy, tired dog each day and always have a report card waiting with a little story about their adventures. Whether she takes him on a walk or out to the park I know that Cat is really thoughtful about the dogs she pairs together and truly cares about each of their personalities.
Cat’s also FANTASTIC to work with– last minute rescheduling, the occasional WFH day, travel schedules, etc– I just shoot her a text and she always responds right away. Cat is the ultimate dog-​walking find in Seattle!

Cat has been walking my dog, (Opal), since my Wheatie was 3 months old, she’s now 2yrs 8mos. Cat was with Opal frequently in the beginning during her puppy months, and now she just spends Fridays with Cat and her pack. Opal is attached to me to the point where she won’t walk with anyone, except Cat! She runs out the door and never looks back! Opal is my very first pet and of course, spoiled rotten. I have absolutely no worries when Opal is with Cat. I know she is being loved, exercised and is with someone that Opal and I trust. I wholeheartedly and highly recommend Cat.

Our dogs know which days Cat comes to visit. I’ve witnessed them see her pull up outside and emit a special yip of joy at her arrival, crowding by the door as she comes in. In addition to being one of the dogs favorite people, she leaves awesome report cards about the adventures at the park! It’s great to come home and see tired, happy dogs!

Cat changed my dog’s life! I moved here with my senior Great Dane that I had only owned for about 10 months and she was fearful at the dog park, not always enthusiastic on our walks, and just generally seemed a little overwhelmed by life. I needed a dog walker until I got settled into a routine and I won’t lie, I went with Cat because she had the best prices (but her excellent Unilocal reviews put me at ease).
Cat won my dog’s heart in about 10 seconds flat and there was a marked difference in my dog after just a week or two of walks and a few trips to the dog park with Cat’s other charges. I took my shy girl to the dog park not soon after Cat started walking her, and getting to see my dog galloping around the dog park with a huge doggy grin on her face is worth so much to me. She used to stick to my side, tail between her legs, at every dog park visit before this (and I used to take her a lot just to see if I could get her comfortable.) This kind of behavior change would be something I expected from a dog trainer charging me an arm and a leg, but Cat just seems to GET dogs.
Even though I’m well settled in to life here and am lucky enough to work from home with my dog, I still see a tremendous value in Cat’s services. She’s also super flexible and a great communicator, and I love hearing when she comes to pick up my pup. My dog is SO excited to see her, which is not the case with very many people, and comes home with her tail wagging and a spring in her step.

Today, our dear pup Haines said good-​bye to Cat’s Got Your Dog. For the past 6 months, we’ve hired Cat to walk our dog and we couldn’t be more pleased. Every day, Cat would leave report cards to let us know how Haines did on his walk and whether or not he went to the bathroom. (C’mon, dog owners know and understand this important piece of information.) Cat also made homemade treats that Haines devoured. And they were gluten-​free, too making them safe for any dog diet. Also, we had some aggressive issues with Haines, and Cat was willing to offer Haines the same training that we were executing, giving him the round-​the-​clock discipline he needed to pull out of his aggressive state. We definitely recommend hiring Cat for all your dog walking needs. We’d keep using Cat but we’re moving into a new home and will be out of Cat’s radius.

I really can’t say enough awesome things about Cat. She is super-​great with my diva pup, whose love and affection Cat managed to win (no small feat). She is extremely professional and patient and obviously seems to love dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker.

Cat is awesome! After our previous dog walker got out of the business, we were worried about finding someone who would be as caring and reliable. Cat put those fears to rest. She showed up for an initial consultation at our house and we immediately got a great feeling about her. She was extremely professional, asked lots of great questions, took notes on her iPad, and made quick friends with our little chihuahua. Now, three months later, we (and our chihuahua) couldn’t be happier. We love coming home to a happy dog and knowing that he got to spend time with someone that really cares for him. Her «report cards» are such a nice touch, and they’re a great example of her attention to detail and genuine interest in the well-​being of our dog. She is always responsive and has been really flexible when we need to make a change to scheduling and/​or something unforeseen comes up.
Cat has spoiled us and our dog, and has set a standard that would be hard for anybody else to match. HIGHLY RECOMMEND her!

Cat is wonderful! Zora loves her and the home made treats she brings. I love getting home to a nice summary of their day’s adventure along with relevant health call outs. Cat has been exceptionally flexible and forgiving of my variable work schedule.
I would never choose anyone else to trust my dog’s well being for afternoon walks.

Cat is absolutely first class. The personal attention she gives my dog is what differentiates her from other walkers. You can tell she loves what she does. I wish Cat kenneled, because there is no one else I trust more with my dog.
Great Price, Great Service, No Complaints

I have an American Eskimo FULL of energy and he seemed so unhappy to be stuck at home all of the time. I decided to use Cat, and I’m happy I did! My dog Gatsby is always super happy on outing days. Cat is very dependable, affordable, and it’s great knowing how things went, because she leaves really cute report cards detailing the walk or dog park trip. Use Cat, she’s great!

This lady knows her pups! I No longer have to feel guilty about my furry friend not getting all the play time she deserves. Maggie loves her outings with Cat! She gets exercise, play and a chance to mingle. Great service from an dependable girl.
