Young/old/sick-love them like mine

Pet care experience

In England I ran an in-home day care and night stay for dogs. I was a groomer from home and built up a trust and love with each dog. One 21 yr old Yorkie was a regular visitor as was an epileptic doberman. I cared for and protected the dogs like they were part of my own pack (at the time, 3 setters). I have a background working for veterinarians and therefore many of my regulars were elderly and sick bods that needed special care. My Irish Setter had degenerative myelopathy and for 2 years I was by his side fighting with him. He used a wheelchair for his last 7 months. He taught me never to give up at the first struggle. I now have Gracie, my Gordon Setter who is finding being the only dog very hard. UPDATE...Gracie has gone to the bridge to be with her pack. My 3 are all together again waiting for me.

Thank you so much Catherine. We couldn't be happier with your care for Shadow and Squirt. You will be our first call the next time we have a need.

Shadow had a good time with her new friends. Catherine was great and we will definitely use her the next time we have a need. Lots of room to run and new smells for her to smell.

You cannot find a better person to care for dogs. Catherine loves dogs and she treats all dogs as if they are her very own children. She started and successfully operated her own dog grooming, dog walking and doggie hotel business. Catherine did not just groom the dogs one after another because it was a business, she took her time with them, talked to them and gave them a quick look over. If she found anything out of the ordinary, she would inform the owner or call the vet to make sure the dog remained happy and healthy. I trust Catherine with my dog and cat and have no worries about my furry friends well being while they are in her care.
