Highlights
Pet care experience
Lover of all animals and pet owner of 40+ years 💕
I've had pets in the family all my life and love all animals - from my family cats and dogs to my horses, I have strong experience with animals and the responsibility caring for them brings. With such a strong passion for animals, I would look after your pet as if it were my own, ensuring the best quality of care and tending to any needs or requirements they may have. I’ve been trusted to look after my friends and family’s dogs and can be relied on for feeding, light grooming (brushing) and giving medication. Through my own dogs, both past and present, I have strong experience in dealing with all ages of dogs, from training energetic pups to senior dogs and the care they need.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
At home, I have a secure garden and plenty of space for dogs and their zoomies! If I was dogsitting at your property, I'd be sure to follow any specific requirements relating to your home or your pet's to ensure a calm environment. I'll also send you photo/video updates!
Ratings and reviews
Great at looking after pur a Teddy. Hes a bit reactive but Catherine handles him well.
Catherine kept us updated with photos and videos of our pets while we were away which was lovely. They both were well looked after and we felt happy with their care.
Catherine was brilliant in looking after Sandy. If dogs could smile then he would have had a smile on his face when we got back home.
We left our beloved eight-month-old Chow Chow, Kiko, in Catherine's care for a week while we were away on holiday. Between making the booking and Kiko's stay, he was diagnosed with elbow dysplasia and underwent major surgery. As a result, we wanted to ensure Catherine was aware that caring for him might be more challenging than usual. From the very beginning, Catherine took on board all of our instructions and went above and beyond to look after him. Kiko is quite a demanding puppy at the moment due to his condition and recovery, but Catherine quickly learned his routines, understood his needs, and provided him with exceptional care. She kept in touch with us every day, sending photographs, videos, and regular updates, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love, patience, and attention she showed Kiko. She genuinely treated him as if he were her own, and her updates constantly reassured us that he was happy, safe, and well cared for. We also asked Catherine to treat our house as she would her own, and she was extremely respectful, leaving everything exactly as she found it. Catherine truly went above and beyond for both us and Kiko. We cannot thank her enough for the care and support she provided, and we would not hesitate to use her services again in the future. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dedicated pet sitter.
Catherine was excellent. She was perfect for our dogs needs. She was very attentive and caring . Catherine sent photos and updates regularly . When we came home , our dog was happy and content. Our house was left beautifully clean and tidy. The dog needed a trip to the vets which Catherine did and my husband joined by phone . It is obvious that she loves dogs and has lots of knowledge of different breeds.
Everything completed as asked and Catherine went to extra trouble on a few things which I appreciated. She really cares. My cats were fed and safe on a long stressful day for me, so I could relax knowing they were in good hands. Thank you Catherine!
