Your pet is more than part of your routine.
They are part of your story.

Some days that looks like a midday walk while you’re at work.
Some days it looks like safe transport to the vet.
Some days it means helping them walk down the aisle at your wedding.

And some days deserve to be remembered forever.

At Cat’s Diggity Dogs, care and connection go hand in hand.
We support your pet through daily life while also helping you celebrate the moments that matter most.

From trusted care to once-in-a-lifetime milestones, I am here for all of it.

Why Choose Cat’s Diggity Dogs?

With over a decade of professional pet care experience and a background in emergency veterinary medicine, your dog is always in capable, loving hands. I understand canine behavior, safety, and health, and I know how to spot when something feels off.

But just as importantly, I truly love what I do. Your dog is not just another stop on my schedule. They are a little soul I get to care for.

A little about me

I have been working with pets of all shapes and sizes for well over a decade. Seriously, my first pet sitting gig was for some neighbors down the street when I was only 5!

Since then, I have been working in various animal-care facilities from boarding and daycare to animal shelters and vet clinics. I am confident that whatever your pet(s) throw my way I am ready and equipped to handle. Learn more

Care You Can Trust
