Highlights
Pet care experience
Communicative, dedicated, friendly
Hello pet parents! I have experience in caring for all sorts of animals, starting at a young age for neighbors, friends, and family. Mostly dogs but no stranger to cats, birds, rabbits, ferrets or lizards. For volunteer hours needed for my middle and high school, I volunteered at the local Humane Society, walking the several puppies and dogs, and helping care for a nurture the kittens and cats. I have also had the fun job of working at a pet boarding facility, caring for cats and dogs of all sizes, shapes, and personalities. Everyone says they have the best pet, and none of them are wrong 🐾 Since moving to Gainesville, I have wandered many of gainesvilles dog griendly trails. I love the excitement in a dogs eyes when we get out of the car, them knowing that they're going on an adventure of sniffs and terrains, maybe an obstacle of a fallen tree, or the sight of an adorably oblivious armadillo digging for bugs. Dogs really are man's best friend, and I think we owe them as much happiness and adventure that we can fit into their lives.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I feel it brings ease to the situation, and less stress to your pet, if I come to your and their home. Every morning, I can check in, feed, and walk your dog, or clean out litter boxes before leaving for school/work. On weekdays, I get out of school at 2:30, with a few exceptions and I would definitely communicate with you prior to my working for you. On weekends, I work until 6pm, and would make it a priority to see your pet, walk them, and give them all the love and attention they need. Clean water would be checked every visit.
Ratings and reviews
She was very personable and Beau, my dog, really took to her and he is very shy. She was attentive and sent me pictures to make me feel about his sitting experience. Thank you Catriona we hope to see you again!!
Catriona has a wonderful way with animals. She is very knowledgeable, compassionate and kind. I've seen Catriona with my animals, her animals and other people's animals and she is the one I trust.
Catriona cared for my 2 dogs (1 year old puppy and 13 year old senior dog) over a long weekend. We were very pleased with her conscientiousness and exceptional care for our pups. The dogs love her, and we'll absolutely work with Catriona again next time we go out of town.
