About Catherine D.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back yard, it's a big yard perfect for dogs of all sizes. I live in a large neighbourhood, perfect for walks to suit your dog's needs whether short or long walks are required. I don't let dogs off leads, even if they are trained. If dogs feel safer in a crate I am happy to accommodate that. I am happy to accept puppies that are still being house trained. Pets are part of my family when in my care, and are welcomed to snuggle on our sofa with us if they wish. Pets won't be allowed upstairs as a general rule, but they can sleep in my room if this is requested if that's how they would feel most comfortable - this would need to be mentioned before booking but I'm more than happy to accommodate that ... My dogs always slept on my bed, so I know sometimes this is how dogs feel happiest!

Information Catherine D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special requirements, schedules, medications, sleep needs, as I am happy to accommodate any special requirements you may have. Also how your dog is with other animals and children.
A typical day
We wake up and have breakfast and get ready for our day and then out for our morning walk. We come home, play, nap and chill before our lunchtime walk. If the weather is good we can spend time in the garden, playing or napping before dinnertime and then final walk of the day. I typically send one or two updates a day, but happy to send more or less updates if you want to check in.

Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs my entire life, I grew up with a westie and had two Lhasa Apsos of my own. Looking after friends and family members dogs from little Jack Russel's to Huskies! I adore animals but have such a special fondness for dogs. I currently don't have any pets of my own, but treat all dogs in my care like part of our family! Dogs are welcome to snuggle on the sofa, walked each day and have a big back yard they can run around and play in. I am not at home during the day, so can only take dogs that are ok to be left alone for long periods. I am at home at weekends so I can have any dog/s from Friday to Sunday. I do have a child under 5 at home so I am only able to take dogs that are happy to be around small children.
Reviews
First doggy day care for Sunny with Catherine. Catherine is a good communicator. She send updates accompanied with pictures. We were exchanging texts for her to know him more. Everything went well.
Catherine did a great job with my corgi! Frequently updates on her status, and she was well taken care of! Your pets will definitely be in good hands with her!
Our dog Mister had a wonderful time with Catherine! He got spoiled with lots of cuddles and walks. We are so glad to have someone we can trust to look after our dog!
Catherine is one of only two people that I trust with my dog. She is kind, caring and my Miniature Schnauzer absolutely adores her - she squeals with excitement each time I drop her off! I never worry when I've left my dog with Catherine, knowing she will be getting lots of love and attention. My dog needs regular eyes drops and some grooming, both of which Catherine is happy to do. I can look forward to going on holiday, knowing my dog enjoys her "holiday" too!
