Mini Dach Mum; Your baby will be just as loved! ❤️
Pet care experience
*Mini dachshunds preferred. Small to medium dogs accepted on a case by case basis due to my puppy, Paddington. Thank you for your understanding <3 Hi! I'm Catherine, 26, living on Weavers Field Park (E2) with my husband, Alessandro and 7 month old mini dachshund, Paddington! Feel free to check out Paddington’s Instagram @paddingtonbello to get an idea of our daily life and if it’s suitable for your fur baby. Paddington really is my baby, I love him more than words could ever describe. I can assure you that when I am looking after your fur baby that I will treat them like my own. Every fur baby will be kissed and cuddled, they will always be comfortable, safe, and happy <3 it’s my promise to you. I grew up in Sydney with three(!) golden retrievers; Oscar, Lucy and Oden. Oscar & Oden were adopted as a baby from a breeder and are gentle giants, while Lucy was adopted at the age of 18 months from Golden Retriever Rescue. We were Lucy's fourth home. Lucy suffered from high anxiety and missed out on crucial training during those important puppy months. This paired with the fact that she was extremely high energy made people think that she was a naughty dog, but we knew when we adopted Lucy we would be her forever home. I therefore have experience with dogs of different temperaments and can handle more than one dog at once. I am happy to lounge with your dog on the couch making sure they don't get into mischief or take your dog for a long walk, or run, if that is what your pup prefers! I also have experience with labradors (my aunts dog in Birmingham, Wispa), Saint Bernards (my mother in law's dog in LA, Zampa), and Great Danes (my brother and sister in laws dog in New York, Toro) as well as a lot of smaller and medium sized dogs from throughout my life, obsessing over my friends furry companions (malteses, king charles cavaliers, rhodesian ridgebacks, french bull dogs, huskies, the list goes on!) If you would like more pictures of me with my furry friends, or have any further questions about my experience, please do not hesitate to reach out. I hope to be looking after your fur baby soon! Kindest, Catherine
Reviews
Catherine made us feel instantly at ease leaving our pup with her, especially as it was the first time using Rover. We were kept up to date throughout the day with pictures and could see how happy and relaxed he was with her. Catherine was really flexible with timings too when we werent going to be back home until a little later than planned and made sure our Pup had his dinner. We would 100% recommend Catherine and I know our dog will be happy to see her again!
Catherine was amazing with Gus and made the entire process so easy. She sent daily updates so I could see how he was doing, went on plenty of walks, and made Gus so happy! I would happily book with Catherine again, she is so great with dogs and making sure they receive the best care while you're away (and Gus can be selective!).
Catherine was great with our dog Casper - we got lots of photos throughout the night with nice updates, and Casper was completely chilled out the whole time. She was very flexible with timings too. I’d definitely recommend!
Catherine is very sweet and reliable. Took good care of my pup with special needs while I was away and sent me regular updates. I returned to a happy and relaxed puppy. Will definitely book her again ❤️?

I live in a studio so your fur baby will always be in site and ear shot. I have no stairs in my studio and Paddington is not allowed to jump up on or down off furniture - he is always lifted up and down which of course I would do for your fur baby too. Paddington has a large orthopaedic bed to share but you’re more than welcome to provide your own bed too for familiarity purposes. I also have a crate if your fur baby is crate trained and prefers to sleep in a crate.

We are well acquainted with our local doggie group with a multitude of breeds. Paddington prefers small to medium breeds which includes 6 sausage friends and 3 frenchies! We often play in St Matthew’s park, Weavers Field, London Fields and Victoria Park :)

Availability
I work from home with a flexible schedule which can be adjusted to your fur babies needs! As I already look after my own puppy, Paddington, having another fur friend is not only easy but an absolute pleasure for both Paddington and I :) We take regular breaks to Weavers Field, the park we live on, and coordinate play times with the local doggy group. Paddington plays with 6 other local mini dachshunds everyday so if your sausage loves other sausages, they’re in luck!
